PHOTOFACIAL REJUVENATION
Photofacial Rejuvenation is our most popular offering. This treatment is ideal if you are seeking to erase brown spots and red blotches that develop on the face as the result of sun-damage and age. Photofacial rejuvenation can also reduce broken blood vessels and fine lines, as well as improve skin tone and reduce overall signs of aging. The Palomar Rejuvelux system is the most powerful light system available for facial rejuvenation. Light from the Rejuvelux system targets blood vessels and pigment that accumulate in the skin as a consequence of time and years of sun exposure.
A series of facial rejuvenation treatments is able to wipe away years. Each treatment is complete in under an hour with minimal discomfort and no "down-time." Afterward, you may return to your daily activities immediately.

HAIR REMOVAL
Eliminate unwanted hair permanently!
Intense Pulsed Light hair removal replaces the frustration of shaving, tweezing, waxing, and use of depilatories with a satisfying and effective alternative. After employing several hair removal systems over the last five years, we now use the Palomar Starlux system exclusively. The Palomar system delivers optimally-filtered light into the hair follicle, disabling the cells responsible for growing new hair. The enhanced contact cooling of the laser tip results in substantial reduction of discomfort compared to other lasers. Thanks to its advanced technology and large "spot size," StarLux works several times faster than other laser-based hair removal systems. A woman's leg or a man's back can be treated in under thirty minutes, and smaller areas - such as the underarms, upper lip, or bikini line - can be treated in even less time.

ABLATIVE FRACTIONAL RESURFACING
Ablative Fractional Resurfacing offers the only truly effective option for those seeking to permanently reduce facial wrinkles and lines without surgery. Ablative fractional resurfacing is also ideal for treatment of acne scarring and improving skin texture. Resurfacing wipes away the outer layers of aged skin and penetrates deeply to stimulate collagen production, restoring a smooth, more youthful appearance. Recent advances in skin resurfacing have reduced recovery time from over a month, to less than a week.
Fractional technology has revived skin resurfacing and largely supplanted all previous technologies as the gold standard for resurfacing The fractional laser works by resurfacing the skin in a grid-like pattern using micro-beams of laser light, leaving a portion of the skin intact to hasten healing without impeding results.
Fractional resurfacing produces dramatic results in comparison to other available laser procedures. We frequently combine resurfacing with cosmetic facial injectables and Botox to maximize the results.

BOTOX
If you are like most of our clients, you will love Botox. No other minimally invasive procedure has the potential to transform your appearance like Botox. Botox relaxes facial muscles producing a rejuvenated appearance. Botox is especially effective at reducing frown lines, crow's feet, and smile lines.
A single, 15 minute treatment, consisting of a few tiny injections, results in noticeable improvement in frown lines in a few days. Botox is ideal for women and men who are seeking a quick, non-invasive, and non-surgical approach to looking younger.
The quality of the result that may be achieved with Botox is entirely dependent on well-placed injections and a highly trained injector. As you may imagine, Botox must be injected accurately and in the right quantity to achieve good results. Kristy Anderson, R.N. is our Botox injection specialist. She performs all Botox consultations and injections personally. Kristy has over five years of intensive experience, during which time she has treated thousands of patients. She regularly travels to conferences to ensure that she is up-to-date on the latest in Botox treatments.
If you're looking for a quick and easy makeover for an upcoming class reunion, wedding, or other special event, or if you just want to treat yourself, Botox and Kristy can make it happen.

COSMETIC FACIAL INJECTABLES
Cosmetic Injectable treatments, also known as the liquid face-lift, have revolutionized aesthetic medicine. The astronomical rise in popularity of injectables is due to recent advances in our understanding of facial anatomy and the role that volume loss plays in changing the shape of the aging face. We now know that the hollow, sunken appearance that develops as we age is due to loss of facial fat, connective tissue, and bone. The sagging appearance is due to a loss of the scaffolding upon which the skin rests.
This understanding has led to a revolution in products available to restore volume and a youthful appearance to the face. Juvederm and Evolence provide structure to the lips and other facial details. Radiesse and Sculptra are ideal for restoring volume. Optimal results depend on using the proper cosmetic filler for the right indication. It is frequently necessary to use a combination of fillers to obtain the best results.
We are proud to be one of the few aesthetic practices to utilize all of the available fillers. Our injection specialist, Kristy Anderson, R.N. is specially trained and highly experienced in use of all available injectable fillers. This allows us to customize your treatment to provide great results for you.
The world of cosmetic injectable fillers is rapidly expanding. We pride ourselves on being on he cutting edge of this facet of aesthetic medicine. Please call to schedule a consultation with Kristy Anderson and find out how she can help you achieve the change you seek.
