 Chemical
Peel
Chemical peels remove damaged outer
layers of skin on the face to smooth texture, reduce scarring, and remove
blemishes and pre-cancerous growths to produce healthy, glowing skin. Peel
formulas and strengths are tailored to each patient. Peels can be combined with
other procedures such as facelifts for a younger look. They may be covered by
insurance if they are performed for medical rather than cosmetic
reasons.

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion improves mild to
moderate sun damage, scarring, wrinkles and other superficial skin problems. A
gentle stream of tiny particles exfoliates the outer layer of skin and provides
a fresh, glowing, younger appearance. Only a small amount of skin is removed, so
sensitive areas such as the face, chest, neck, arms and hands can be treated.
Results are comparable to a light chemical peel and should be immediately
visible. Microdermabrasion is often performed in conjunction with other skin
renewal procedures, such as laser treatment and chemical peels. Multiple
treatments are recommended for full effect.

Injectable
Fillers
Soft tissue fillers are injected under
the skin to "plump up," contour and smooth wrinkles, lines and hollow areas in
the face and to augment the lips or cheeks for a younger, fuller
appearance.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
 BOTOX® Cosmetic is commonly
used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles. It is injected
under the skin into areas surrounding the eyes, forehead and mouth to smooth
crow's feet, frown and worry lines, and lines on the neck. Made from a purified
protein, BOTOX® relaxes wrinkles and gives the face a rejuvenated look. BOTOX®
may also be useful for migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and eye and neck
muscle spasms.

Sculptra®
Sculptra® counteracts the loss of fat beneath the skin (a condition called lipoatrophy). Sculptra® is injected into the deep dermis layer of the skin to improve the appearance of sunken cheeks, hollow eyes, indentations and wrinkles. Its main component is an alpha hydroxy acid that has been used for 20 years in surgical products such as dissolvable sutures. Results can last up to two years.

Dysport
Dysport is an FDA-approved injection used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles in the forehead. Similar to BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport is injected directly into the site of wrinkles to prevent the underlying muscles from contracting. Dysport injections are made from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, the same protein used in Botox injections.

Collagen
 Collagen is
a naturally occurring protein found in the second layer of skin (the dermis)
which "plumps up" the skin, joints, bones and ligaments. Injections counteract
the effects of gravity, sun exposure and years of facial muscle movement by
filling out sunken areas and smoothing lines for a rejuvenated look. Results may
begin to fade in a few months, depending on the patient’s age, genetic
background, skin quality, life and body site. Because of this, and because
injections cannot improve severe wrinkles or deep folds, the procedure is often
combined with facial resurfacing or plastic surgery for a more satisfying and
longer-lasting outcome.

Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar found naturally in the body that works with collagen to
keep the skin smooth and supple. Aging, exposure to sunlight and other factors
cause the hyaluronic acid in our cells to break down. Our skin loses volume, and
lines and wrinkles appear. Hyaluronic acid injections replace those sugars and restore
the skin to its youthful appearance. Frequently treated areas are the nasolabial
(smile) lines, vertical lip lines, frown lines between the eyes, and marionette
lines. No pre-treatment skin test is necessary. Treatments are quick and
painless, and results are natural-looking and immediately visible. Effects last
for a few months and then begin to fade.
