Microdermabrasion...

 

ExcellaDerm Microdermabrasion Systems™ are based on the method of polishing and removing the upper-most layer of the skin called the Stratum Corneum. The result is a topical exfoliation as well as an indirect stimulation to the basal layer of the skin. When we stimulate the basal layer of the skin, we increase cell proliferation (turnover), stimulate nervous tissue, resulting in vasodilatation for increased blood flow, and trigger the stimulation of oil and water production. It can also have a direct influence on increased fibroblast, collagen and elastin production. The results: a healthier, more vibrant, firmer, hydrated and improved texture and appearance to the skin.

Small crystals of Aluminum Oxide (the only FDA approved substrate) are delivered to the skin. The abrasive characteristics of this particulate remove various amounts of dead tissue with the degree of ablation (dead tissue removed) depending on three variables:

1.The level of power used during the session.
2.The amount of time on the tissue. Moving the crystals slowly across the skin results in more ablation; faster across the skin, less ablation.
3.The number of passes on the skin. The more times you pass over a particular area,the more ablation you get.

Once the crystals are rotated on the skin, they are vacuumed away by a specially designed hand piece and deposited into the waste canister for later disposal. The vacuum device on our systems also has additional benefits. As it glides over the surface of the skin, the vacuum acts as a stimulant to increase blood flow to nourish the skin, as well as to accelerate collagen and elastin production. The result is a firmer, more toned appearance.

Under normal circumstances, the uppermost skin layer exfoliates naturally between 10-12 days. New cells in the basal cell layer take 28-30 days to rise to the surface and ultimately slough away. By removing dry dead skin cells with microdermabrasion, new living cells that are deeper in the tissue are revealed, showing healthy skin. Microdermabrasion accelerates the migration of the new cells to the surface.

Microdermabrasion is best when performed as a series of 6, 8, 10 or 12 procedures at one week intervals. More severe problem skin may require additional procedures to obtain the desired results. After a series of procedures, we recommend that once every 4 weeks a maintenance or "refresher" procedure is received.

Skin sensitivity to our microdermabrasion systems is minimal and post procedure discomfort is unlikely. We recommend use of the appropriate skin care products to assist the repair process and to ensure optimum results. To protect the skin following a procedure, we recommend our non-chemical sunblock.

BOTOX Cosmetic...

 

BOTOX Cosmetic is a non-surgical, physician-administered aesthetic treatment for temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people ages 18 to 65. BOTOX Cosmetic works by reducing the contractions of the muscles that cause those persistent frown lines that have developed over time.

Consultation - $75.00 charge. Fee will be deducted from first treatment.

FAQ's

When will I see results from a BOTOX Cosmetic treatment?
Within days, you may see a marked improvement in the moderate to re frown lines between your brows. Lines continue to improve for up to a month, and results can last for up to 4 months. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women rated the improvement in their appearance as moderate to better 1 month after treatment. Results may vary.

Is treatment with BOTOX Cosmetic painful?
Discomfort is usually minimal and brief. Prior to injecting, your physician may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream. The entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes. Many people are in and out of the physician's office without downtime following BOTOX Cosmetic treatment.

Who should not use BOTOX Cosmetic?
BOTOX Cosmetic should not be used in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s) and in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the formulation. Patients with neuromuscular disorders such as ALS, myasthesia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious side effects.

Will I experience any side effects?
The most common side effects following injection include temporary eyelid droop and nausea. Localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bleeding/bruising may be associated with the injection. Patients with certain neuromuscular disorders such as ALS, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious side effects.

Will my facial expressions continue to look natural?
Although the results are visible, a treatment with BOTOX Cosmetic will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you “had work done”. The muscle activity that causes frown lines between the brows is simply reduced, so you can still frown or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases between your brows.

 

Latisse

Unretouched clinical photos of actual LATISSE™ users. In the clinical trial, 78% of LATISSE™ users experienced ≥ 1-grade increase vs 18% for vehicle, and 33% experienced ≥ 2-grade increase vs 1% for vehicle, on the 4-point Global Eyelash Assessment (GEA) scale* at week 16.¹ Individual results may vary.

LATISSE™ (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker, and darker.

Eyelash hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes.

Important Safety Information
Do not use LATISSE™ solution if you are allergic to one of its ingredients.

LATISSE™ solution is intended for use on the skin of the upper eyelid margins at the base of the eyelashes. DO NOT APPLY to the lower eyelid.

If you have a history of abnormal intraocular pressure (IOP), you should only use LATISSE™ under the close supervision of your physician.

LATISSE™ use may cause darkening of the eyelid skin which may be reversible. Although not reported in clinical studies, LATISSE™ use may also cause increased brown pigmentation of the colored part of the eye which is likely to be permanent.

You should tell your physician you are using LATISSE™ especially if you have a history of eye pressure problems. You should also tell anyone conducting an eye pressure screening that you are using LATISSE™.

The most common side effects after using LATISSE™ solution are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness. This was reported in approximately 4% of patients. LATISSE™ solution may cause other less common side effects which typically occur on the skin close to where LATISSE™ is applied, or in the eyes. These include skin darkening, eye irritation, dryness of the eyes, and redness of the eyelids.
