Chemical Peel

A chemical peel is a procedure used to improve the appearance of the skin on your face, hands, and neck. Generally, an acid solution is applied to the area to be treated with the objective of exfoliating or slough off the outer most layer of skin to remove dead skin cells, and dry, flakey skin to reveal new, softer and smoother skin. It will rejuvenate your skin.

​

How Does it Work?
There are several types of chemical peels that vary in strength and treat different levels of the skin. Superficial peelings are gentle peels used for mild exfoliation of the outer layer of skin, to improve the look of mild skin discolorations, smooth rough skin, and overall refreshment. Medium peels reach the middle layer of skin to remove damaged skin cells. These can improve the look of age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, superficial blemishes, freckles and moderate skin discolorations. The deep peel will erase moderate lines and wrinkles, age spots, freckles and shallow scars. It also provides a dramatically improved appearance with long-lasting results.

Ideal Candidates:

Non-smoking patients with good health

Patients with dry, dull skin or acne who want to improve their skin’s appearance

 
Juvederm Voluma XC

Juvederm Voluma XC is the first and only FDA approved cosmetic filler to correct age-related volume loss in the mid-face. It is an injectable volumizer that instantly adds volume in the cheeks for a more youthful appearance. Voluma is made of hyaluronic acid, a sugar compound found in the skin. This break-through compound provides a subtle lift that plumps, refreshes, and rejuvenates.

​

How Does it Work?
Voluma is injected deep under the skin in the cheek area with little pain due to fewer nerves and blood vessels in the region. It is also formulated with lidocaine for additional comfort. Juvederm Voluma XC induces collagen production to firm and plump over time. It also replenishes hyaluronic acid to rebuild the skin’s supportive structures. The result is radiant skin with a soft, natural feel.

​

How Long Does it Last?
The procedure take 15-30 minutes, and the results last up to 2 years. When it is time for a maintenance treatment, patients need less product to get the same results.

​

Ideal Candidates:

Patients over 21 who are in good health

Patients who appear drawn with sunken cheeks, hollowed out temples, or deep wrinkles around their nose and/or mouth

 
Restylane

Restylane is made of a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid (HA)–a kind of sugar naturally produced in the body, especially in the skin. Because of this, Restylane is biocompatible and rarely causes allergic reactions.

​

How Does it Work?
Restylane is formulated to behave just like your body’s naturally-produced hyaluronic acid and is injected to immediately reduce moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, including the unpleasant nasolabial folds (smile lines) that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Restylane is also used to restore lost facial volume in areas such as under the eye, and add fullness and definition to the lips.

​

How Long Do They Last?
Restylane fillers generally last from 8-10 months depending on the area treated, the amount injected, and your metabolism.

Ideal Candidates:

Xeomin

Xeomin is an injectable neuromodulator similar to Botox and Dysport. It is injected into the targeted muscles to temporarily block nerve impulses to weaken muscle movements that cause dynamic wrinkles. This provides almost immediate improvement in appearance and prevents the deepening of these grooves and wrinkles by reducing their frequency and intensity.

​

How Does it Work?
Xeomin is designed to temporarily ease these dynamic wrinkles and furrows and prevent them from deepening. It is also used to improve the appearance of neck bands, can be used to lift the eyebrows, and open the eyes.

​

How Long Does it Last?
The entire procedure usually takes about 15-20 minutes. Just like Botox and Dysport, Xeomin typically lasts anywhere from 3 to 4 months.

​

Ideal Candidates:

Patients who are in good heatlh

Patients who want to reduce the visibility of wrinkles that have occurred naturally over time

Pateints who are not pregnant or nursing

Patients trying to prevent future wrinkles from developing

 
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

Platelets are the cells in the blood that help tissue to heal and grow new cells. The PRP, injected into specific areas of the skin, act as a matrix that promotes your own collagen to grow, regenerates tissue, and thus acts to naturally smooth and tighten the skin.

​

How Does it Work?
First, a small amount of blood is drawn. Then, our specialists isolate and concentrate the platelets from other blood components. This leaves only the PRP-rich fibrin matrix, containing high platelet and growth factor concentrations, which function to accelerate healing and improve skin quality.

​

Ideal Candidates:

Patients who are in good health

Patients who want to improve mild to moderate signs of aging

Patients who are looking for a gradual improvement in their skin’s appearance and seeking noticeable, natural looking results

 

 
Botox

Botox is an injectable neuromodulator that can remedy the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles found on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes.

​

How Does it Work?
Botox is comprised of highly purified botulinum toxin protein to safely and effectively minimize muscle contractions in the designated treatment area. With muscle movement reduced, wrinkles are gradually softened, creating a younger-looking complexion.

​

How long does it last?
Botox has been observed to last up to 4 months. Ultimately, results will vary from person to person.

​

Ideal Candidates:

Patients in good general health

Patients who are self-conscious of fine lines and wrinkles in their forehead, between their brows, or around the eyes

Patients who seek younger-looking skin with realistic expectations in mind
