BOTOX™

Average client requires between 16-50 units.

BOTOX™ Cosmetic is the most popular non-surgical treatment in existence today. A few tiny injections result in a noticeable improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines and worry lines, crow’s feet and lines around the neck. BOTOX™ injections block nerve impulses, weakening muscles to relax winkles. Results last up to 4 months.

Dermal Fillers

The way your skin looks is directly related to the way your skin is supported. Wrinkles form when the support structure, natural collagen, thins during the course of aging. Injectable fillers are implanted in the skin directly into the areas where collagen has weakened. Depressions in the skin can be raised and scars can be minimized.

Hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapitite products are FDA approved for the treatment of facial wrinkles and folds. The longevity varies by product but temporary fillers typically last from 4-12+ months.

Juvederm Ultra™ & Juvederm Ultra Plus™

What is Juvederm™?
Juvederm™ injectable gel is a smooth gel filler that is eased under your skin to instantly smooth out those wrinkles of folds that look like parentheses along the side of your nose and mouth. Results aren't just instant, they're so smooth and natural, everyone will notice but no one will know.

What is the difference between Juvederm Ultra™ and Juvederm Ultra Plus™?
Juvederm Ultra™ injectable gel is optimally formulated for versatility in contouring and volumizing wrinkles and folds, while Juvederm Ultra Plus™ is a robust formulation used for volumizing and correcting deeper wrinkles and folds. Your doctor or nurse can tell you which formulation is just right for you.

What makes Juvederm™ different?
Juvederm™ injectable gel is produced through Hylacross technology creating a high degree of cross-linking and promoting duration for up to six months or longer. Hylacross technology results in a smooth consistency gel, which is a primary factor in the long-lasting, smooth, natural look and feel that is a hallmark of Juvederm™ wrinkle correction.

What can I expect during and after my treatment?
Your healthcare professional will assess your facial wrinkles and folds to determine if Juvederm™ treatment is right for you. Wrinkle correction with Juvederm™ is a quick, in-office procedure with immediate results.

Radiesse™

What is Radiesse™?
Radiesse™, formerly known as Radiance™, is the first calcium hydroxylapatite injectable cohesive implant used for soft tissue augmentation. Calcium is a natural substance already in the body, so Radiesse causes no allergic reactions of inflammation.

How does Radiesse™ work?
Radiesse™ is gently injected under the skin, and builds up the tissues of the face, reducing folds and creases and restoring fullness. Unlike products that lose their effectiveness within only a few months, Radiesse™ provides years of rejuvenation with intermittent touch ups. Radiesse™ is ideal for lines between the nose and mouth, between eyebrows, and on the upper lip.

What are the advantages of Radiesse™?
• Relatively painless.
• Results are immediate.
• It cannot provoke any allergic reaction.
• It is soft and remains pliable for years.
• It is cost-effective because it is long lasting.
• You can return to normal activities after your treatment.

What are the side effects of Radiesse™?
• Minimal swelling and redness at the injection site
• Minor pain with injection

How long does Radiesse™ last?
While some touch ups may be needed, depending on the area treated, most of your correction may last for several months or years.

Chemical Peel

Medical Strength Glycolic and Salicylic Peels

Peels, especially repetitive superficial peels, can be among the best treatments to address solar aging (age spots), fine lines and hyperpigmentation (uneven pigmentation). Glycolic acid peels in particular can be a beneficial monthly treatment that will provide noticeable results for the patient with every little downtime.

A chemical burn is a controlled burn of the skin. The wounding can be superficial, medium or deep depending on the solution applied. The epidermal and dermal wounding peel will improve collagen remodeling, improve blood flow to the skin and increase the ground substance thereby improving the appearance of the skin.

Vein Therapy

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is the injection of solutions into abnormally dilated or cosmetically unacceptable veins. The process provokes an irritation of the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to eventually collapse and fade from view. Treatment involves little if any discomfort and no down time. Two to three sessions may be required with 50-80% of injected veins eliminated with each session.

Prior to the procedure it is preferred that the client pick up some compression stockings 20-30 mm Hg. Do not use bath oil, lotion or powder the night before or day of treatment. Wear loose slacks, sweat pants, or a skirt to accommodate any dressings or compression hose. Bring loose fitting shorts to wear during the procedure. Avoid anti-inflammatories and aspirin for one week prior to the procedure.

Light Therapy

For smaller veins of the face and body laser or light treatments may be beneficial. Telangiectasias are slightly raised red spots of blood vessels just under the surface of the skin. Facial redness is generally caused by small thread veins and tiny blood vessels under the skin. IPL treatment and ND:YAG laser light is an alternative to injecting the vessels with a sclerosing solution and is suitable for the treatment of many red skin blemishes on the face and upper body. IPL and ND:YAG laser light which is readily absorbed by the blood vessels is used to blanch and close the fine thread veins and leg veins. Mild discomfort (without anesthesia) is rewarded with an immediate result.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical, noninvasive procedure that offers safe and controlled removal of the outer, dead layers of the skin. The remaining skin is more smooth, fresh and rejuvenated. Microdermabrasion is helpful for those unhappy with acne scarring, sun-damaged skin, age spots, freckles, stretch marks, fine lines, scars, and rough skin. It is a safe, therapeutic approach to skin care when used alone or in combination with other treatments.

Microdermabrasion uses crystals to aggressively exfoliate away the dull layer of dead skin, uprooting the damaged cells to reveal fresh, invigorated skin. A slight vacuum is used to remove the exfoliated cells and crystals from your skin’s surface. Each treatment takes from 30 minutes to an hour.

What are the benefits of microdermabrasion?
• Virtually no side effects.
• Gives the skin an overall fresh, healthy-looking glow.
• Effective on all skin colors and types.
• No anesthetic required.
• Normal activities can be resumed immediately.

Matrix Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment

Matrix Fractional CO2 technology brings together traditional CO2 technology and innovative fractional technology.

How does it work?
The natural aging process, combined with exposure to sun and pollution, destroys collagen -- the main protein of connective tissue that keeps skin plump and line-free. Laser resurfacing uses beamlets of energy light to bore tiny holes in the skin, which works to put the body’s natural collagen production on fast-forward.

Here’s what’s new:
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing does this in a way that prevents damage to the top layer of skin, offering maximum results with minimal recovery time. The laser energy is distributed in an even pattern, leaving little areas of untreated skin in-between spots. This facilitates the healing process, thereby reducing pt downtime.

Fractional CO2 treatment is good for:
• Sun-damaged skin
• Aging skin
• Skin texture irregularities
• Pigmented dyschromias and scars
• Skin striations (stretch marks)
• Fine lines
• Wrinkles
• Ablation and resurfacing of soft tissue

Hair Removal

For many men and women, unwanted hair can be a nightmare. Originally, the only options for removing unwanted hair were smelly hair removal creams, sharp razors, stinging wax or painful electrolysis needles. IPL, an advanced approach to beautiful skin, provides the ultimate solution. Now, men and women alike will be pleased with the results made possible by the IPL Laser Hair Removal process.

What are the benefits of IPL hair removal?
• Larger areas may be treated at one time.
• It works equally well with light or dark hair and skin.
• There is less chance for scarring and pigmentation change.
• Less pain and discomfort compared to other hair removal treatments.
• Combines the speed of shaving with the lasting results promised by electrolysis.
• IPL is effective on almost any area of the body where smoother, younger-looking hair-free skin is desired.

IPL Skin Rejuvenation

IPL Rejuvenation was designed to combat the effects of aging and damaged skin in a softer, gentler way. The redness and flushing of rosacea can be reduced 80 to 90 percent. It can be used to treat the full face, neck, chest and even the hands.

Using the advanced IPL system, your practitioner gently delivers precise amounts of light energy through your skin's surface. Treatments are spaced out at about three week intervals. The energy is delivered at specific settings for each treatment to maximize your results.

The light energy stimulates the production of collagen. As the new collagen forms, it softens the appearance of aging skin. Fine lines and wrinkles are decreased. The redness associated with rosacea can be dramatically reduced.

ZERONA®


www.myzerona.com

Unlike invasive weight loss surgery, ZERONA® is applied externally. This revolutionary method provides results without the dangers associated with surgery, while at the same time allowing patients to remain active during treatment. The ZERONA® protocol utilizes Erchonia®'s patented and clinically proven low-level laser technology.

Voluminous adipose tissue can appear when fatty material is present, and this, in turn, can bring about enlarged subcutaneous fat regions. Because subcutaneous fat is close to the skin's surface, laser emulsification can have a dramatic effect. The collapse of adipose arrangements have been noted after laser therapy, reducing their volume and providing effective body contouring results.
