This photofacial technology uses a series of intense pulse-light (IPL) treatments to remove sunspots, age spots, freckles, visible veins and other skin imperfections. This procedure is a non-invasive and non ablative. The surface is not damaged or removed. The gentle IPL correct pigmentation irregularities and encourage new collagen growth to smooth out existing facial wrinkles. It effectively treats sun damage and aging on the face, facial redness, flushing, and pigmentary problems on the face, neck and/or chest. After each session you will see smoother skin, smaller pore size and fading of sun spots and hyper-pigmented areas. Rosacea, a common vascular problem, will also show dramatic improvement.

Many wrinkles are actually creases that have been worn into the skin by making
the same expression thousands of times. Frown lines or crow’s feet, are due to the contraction of muscle under the skin in that area.

Botox injections are the ideal non-surgical treatment to reduce fine lines around
the eyes, frown lines and wrinkles on the forehead. In the hands of our skilled physician, the muscles creating these lines are gently weakened . While your
facial expressions remain unaffected, the skin overlying the muscle relaxes and the wrinkles in the skin disappear. Full results are visible after 4-7 days. Treatment time is 10 minutes per area treated. Follow-up treatments are needed every 3-4 months.

Restylane®

Restylane is a wonderful treatment that takes years off your face instantly. Dermal Filler Restylane works by filling wrinkles and enhancing specific areas. It is completely natural with no need for allergy testing. Restylane is a non-animal based product derived from hyaluronic acid (present in all living organisms) in the form of a clear, injectable gel. Restylane works with the body's own hyaluronic acid to create volume and plump the skin. It can be injected to fill wrinkle lines, to augment and enhance the lips, to correct nasolabial folds and to shape cheeks and mouth for facial contour. In the hands of a skilled physician, you get beautiful, non-surgical results immediately. The treatment lasts 6-9 months.

Radiesse™

Radiesse is another very effective, longer lasting dermal filler, which can be
injected into creases and lines to instantly reverse the signs of aging. The material is a completely synthetic compound comprised of micro-spheres of calcium hydroxylapatite, combined with an aqueous gel. Calcium is a natural substance that occurs in the human body, so Radiesse causes no allergic reactions or inflammation. As Radiesse is gently injected, it builds up the tissues of the face, reducing folds and creases and restoring fullness. Enhancement with Radiesse is relatively painless, and any minor swelling from the injection typically disappears within 24 hours. You can return to your normal activities immediately. Radiesse lasts in the body for up to 18 months. It can be used for reducing "smile lines" and "frown lines", deminishing acne scars, lip augmentation, cheek and facial contouring.

Phigel®

"The Doctors' Choice" is the longest lasting material that we have the pleasure of using. Phigel is a permanent injectable implant that gives instant results. Phigel® is made of 5% polyacrylamide and 95% water. The cross-linked polyacrylamide forms a non-toxic and non-allergenic gel that is highly bio-compatible with human soft tissue. Phigel is injected beneath the skin and remains in place permanently. These injectable implants (administered only by a skilled physician) are ideal for permanent lip augmentation, smoothing of naso-labial folds, cheekbone augmentation, smoothing of deep wrinkles and correction of depressed scars. There is very minimal swelling or changes after injection. Phigel can be removed by a physician but is otherwise a permanent solution. Since 1997, more than 30 million ml of Hydrogel has been used to treat over 300,000 patients for various medical treatments.

We are firm believers that education is the best form of assistance in making the right decisions for the best results. Allow us to delay the aging process by relaxing or plumping the areas specifically chosen. Feeling good about yourself is a boost in the right direction.

Photodynamic Skin Therapy- using Levulan

This peel is the latest development in skin rejuvenation from the medical world. Based on your preparedness for some down-time during which the skin appears very sunburned, the peel can be more or less intense. The more intense ~ the greater the results in rejuvenated skin. It works with Amino-levulinic Acid “Levulan” which is a substance that occurs naturally in the skin. Levulan is applied to your face and any other area where you would like skin correction, such as neck and décolleté. While the drug incubates, (about 30 minutes to an hour) you will relax in our aromatherapy capsule. During the incubation period, Levulan identifies all abnormal cells in the skin, such as actinic keritosis, photodamaged skin cells, hypo-pigmentation, and so forth. After an incubation period the peel is activated by exposure to the Blue-U Light source. This is what will cause the damaged tissue to peel off. The beauty of this peel is that it not also takes off abnormal skin cells, but also improves skin texture, acne/scars, fine lines, wrinkles, pore size and is hereby an overall rejuvenating treatment. Flaking and peeling after day 2 or three, healing after 7-10 days. Consult with our physician about which peel might be best for you ! This treatment will also clear the most difficult acne and rosacea. Photodynamic Skin Therapy is also FDA approved for removing pre-cancerous skin cells.
