Acne Scars Treatment with CoolTouch® Facial Rejuvenation LaserNew! CoolTouch® Facial Rejuvenation Laser Treatment
The treatment is done using a protective cryogen spray, that
cools the skin and allows the laser light to penetrate deeper
into the dermis. The cooling protects the sensitive surface
skin layers and nerve endings, while the laser light stimulates
the fibroblasts deep in the dermis where new collagen is generated.
After three treatments or more, patients see their skin becoming
smoother. Acne scars are significantly improved and aging
skin is effectively renewed. The process is most effective
on saucer shaped acne scars and fine lines around the eyes
and mouth. Safe for all Skin types and colors, sessions usually
take about 20-30 minutes and patients can resume their normal
activities immediately.

New!
DermaPhoresis®
A
great new treatment for fine lines and sun-damaged
skin. This combination of positive action Salt-A-Peel microdermabrasion,
ultrasound technology, and a high potency AHA / Antioxidant
cream removes the thickened and sun-damaged outer layer of
the skin while allowing the proprietary cream to travel further
into the lower layers of the skin. The whole process is called
DermaPhoresis. Sessions take about 30-45 minutes and patients
report feeling immediate and continuous tightening, softer
and smoother skin. They have noticed that their skin is more
resilient and friends have commented that they seem to have
a “ healthy youthful glow” about them. Multiple treatments
are recommended for optimal results. Safe for all skin types
and Colors.

Positive
Action Salt-A-Peel®
This
positive action Salt-based Microdermabrasion (known as Macrodermabrasion)
provides faster, better, safer skin rejuvenation than traditional
microdermabrasion. This exclusive new system builds on traditional
micro peel technology by adding a combination of integrated
skin care products and positive pressure salt abrasion for
better results. Great for reducing the look of
fine lines/wrinkles, acne scars, sun damaged skin, age spots,
uneven skin tone, and just a wonderful skin maintenance program,
this quick “lunchtime” treatment allows you to resume normal
activities immediately. Deep abrasion produces outstanding
results in fewer treatments. Sessions take about 20-30 minutes
and you can return to your regular activities immediately
without any redness or streaking. Safe for all skin types
and colors.

DermaPeel®
Particle Skin Resurfacing
This is the traditional Microdermabrasion treatment using
negative action dermabrasion. Here however, we have decided
to use Sodium Bicarbonate instead of Aluminum Oxide particles.
Non-invasive and non-surgical, this procedure uses a highly
controlled spray of fine crystals to remove the outer layer
of skin and reveal the younger, tighter, and more radiant
skin underneath. Common treatments include: blackheads, whiteheads,
fine lines/wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, Acne prone skin, superficial
age spots, and oily skin. Safe for all skin types and colors,
the average session time is 30 minutes.

Chemical
Peels
Chemical peeling is a technique used to improve the appearance
of the skin. A chemical is applied to the area being treated
that causes it to separate then eventually peel off. The new
skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled and even-toned
than the old skin. Another treatment for fine lines under
eyes, around the mouth, the full face, and other parts of
the body, this office uses the Jessner Peel that combines
lactic acid, salicylic acid, and resorcinol when a chemical
peel is requested or indicated. We also use glycolic acid
in 30, 50, and 70% concentrations. These chemical peels are
used in conjunction with other treatments to improve the appearance
of our patient’s skin.

Laserscope

Lyra provides the most risk-free treatment for dark and tanned
skin. The Lyra laser produces 1064nm wavelength. While the
rest of the skin is almost completely transparent for this
wavelength, it is highly absorbed in blood. Thus, the laser
beam passes through the skin and penetrates the targeted vessel.
The laser energy heats up and coagulates blood inside the
vessel. Unsupported, vessel walls collapse and seal. These
vessels later dissolve within the body.

Juvéderm™
Juvéderm™ - the “next-generation” dermal filler!
As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvéderm™ injectable gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen! Recently approved by the FDA, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a “next-generation” dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).
Juvéderm™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvéderm™ injectable gel under the skin to provide a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm™ compared to a collagen-based dermal filler.* And, almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both Juvéderm™ injectable gel and another dermal filler* preferred Juvéderm™! In addition, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.

RadiesseTM
RadiesseTM for Facial Rejuvenation **
New products constantly are being developed to help ease the
ravages of time and aging. One of these is Radiesse, an
injectable compound of calcium hydroxylapatite suspended in an
aqueous gel. Radiesse is an excellent filler for nasolabial
folds, marionette lines, oral commissurae, and deep rhytides.
The technique for administering Radiesse is subdermal
injection, most commonly at the junction of deep dermis and
subcvutaneous tissue. On withdrawal of the syringe, small
aliquots of material are deposited uniformly along the plane.
Subsequent injections may be made through the same entry
point.
Radiesse is considered a semipemanent filler. Most recent
clinical data have reported between 30% and 100% correction at
1 year. In my clinical experience, correction of at least 1
year results in high patient satisfaction. However, booster
injections may be required during this period for patients
with deep defects. Regardless of the exact correction
duration, this injectable compound holds promise for long-term
soft tissue augmentation of lines, depressions, scars and
facial defects.

Cosmetic Treatments
Botox®
A
BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is a simple, nonsurgical procedure
that smoothes the deep, persistent lines between your brows
that develop over time. One 10-minute treatment consisting
of a few tiny injections, relaxes the muscles that cause those
lines to form and keeps them relaxed up to 4 months. BOTOX®
Cosmetic has been widely tested. Now it’s approved by
the FDA. BOTOX® Cosmetic relaxes the overactive muscles
whose repeated contractions cause the lines between your brows
to form. So you can frown, smile, or look surprised without
the furrows, creases, and wrinkles.

CosmoDerm™
and CosmoPlast™
Sometimes, no matter how youthful you feel, your face tells
a different story. Sunlight, natural aging and lifestyle factors
can diminish the collagen layer that supports the skin. And
where collagen diminishes, unwelcome lines and wrinkles may
appear.
Now, for the first time ever, you can replace collagen through
innovative new treatments made from natural human collagen.
They're called CosmoDerm™ and CosmoPlast™, and
they're changing the face of beauty.
Drawing upon the latest breakthroughs in skin science, CosmoDerm
and CosmoPlast contain natural human collagen grown under
controlled laboratory conditions. This natural human collagen
is similar to the collagen normally found in the skin. So
there's no need for a pre-treatment skin test.
And here's the best part. No more skin testing means no more
weeks of waiting for the results. Instead, you can smooth
away telltale lines and wrinkles or add definition to the
lip border with just one quick visit to your physician. And
since recovery time is short, you can easily sneak in a treatment
during your lunch hour.
