BOTOX®
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a naturally purified protein which is injected in a sterile manner into particular muscles commonly used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles caused by overactive muscles. 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. As the muscles relax, results in fewer wrinkles and lines, therefore results in a rejuvenated look. BOTOX® may also be useful for migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and eye and neck muscle spasms.

JUVÉDERM® is a hyluronic acid injectable gel filler that is placed under the surface of the skin to smooth facial lines. The signs of aging are greatly minimized instantly on the face, including fine lines and wrinkles, crow's feet, thinning lips and loosening skin. It can also "plump up" the lips, sculpt the cheeks, and restore a youthful shape to the face. It’s ingredient, hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body that works with collagen and elastin to give volume and support to the skin. Because it is non-animal-based and highly biocompatible, no pre-treatment testing is needed. JUVÉDERM® is the only HA filler FDA-approved to last up to 1 year. There are currently four types of Juvederm currently available in the United States. These include Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus as well as Juvederm Ultra XC and Juvederm Ultra Plus XC. Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus were the first two Juvederm products studied and introduced into the United States. Juvederm Ultra for mild to moderate lines and wrinkles and Juvederm Ultra Plus for deeper concerns. Ultra Plus is more crossed-linked (thicker) and therefore more useful for deeper lines and wrinkles than Juvederm Ultra. For anesthesia, Lidocaine was added to these products, that created the XC label.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL
The Sciton BBL laser hair removal laser is a superior and effective procedure for the reduction and elimination of unwanted hair on most any area of the body. Treatment with hair laser usually requires at least four to six treatments completed at four to eight week intervals between sessions depending on the area being treated. Touch-ups may be required after treatment has been completed for complete hair reduction. It is also important that the treated hair not be gray for maximum efficacy with this procedure.The key to successful laser hair removal is destroying the entire hair follicle and the germinative cells, while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. Laser hair removal is most effective when the hair is in its active growth phase called the anager phase; consequently, multiple treatments scheduled several weeks or months apart are typically required to achieve optimal results.

SCLEROTHERAPY
Sclerotherapy is treatment of spider veins mostly on the legs. It is a technique in which a very fine needle is used to inject a solution such as Sotradecol or Asclera, directly into the blood vessel. The solution causes an inflammation of the cells that line the vein. In response, the veins close up and collapse, no longer visible on the surface of the skin. The procedure itself takes just a few minutes and the veins disappear in 4 to 6 weeks. People resume normal activities immediately and can lead to success rate over 90-percent.

CHEMICAL PEELS
Chemical peels work as a resurfacing technique that remove the top layers of the skin by a chemical, as opposed to heat with a laser and as opposed to mechanical removal with a dermabrasion. The chemical is chosen based on the skin type and color of the patient as well as the skin problem being treated. Acne, aging, and discoloration are the usual indications for a chemical peel. New skin will then grow and so the pores may appear smaller, small lines are plumped up and seem to disappear and acne and acne discoloration are improved.
Almost anyone can be a candidate for a chemical peel. There are different peels that can be costumized based on skin type, condition to treat and the goal we are trying to achieve. After superficial and medium depth peels recovery time will be minimal.
