COSMETIC PROCEDURE SPECIALS

Nothing does what a neurotoxin can!…What is a neurotoxin? Botox and Dysport are among two of the most common neurotoxins around. They are injected into muscles to decrease the contraction of the muscle which is what causes unwanted facial lines and wrinkles. These agents are most commonly injected into the “11′s” (the furrows between the brows), the crow’s feet (the lines around the eyes), and the forehead, although neurotoxins can be used in other specific areas as well.

What is a typical Botox or Dysport appointment like? First, your injector will thoroughly discuss your facial concerns with you. You will know how many units are recommended and what your cost will be before any injection is done. The area that is being treated will be cleaned before the injection. The injection process is very quick and most patients experience little to no pain at all.

Chemical peels are an important part of skin health. As we age, the rate that our cells naturally exfoliate slows down dramatically which results in a dull complexion and fine lines and wrinkles appear worse. Although the term “chemical peel” sounds daunting, a peel is a very effective treatment option for most skin types and concerns. Peels help to improve skin tone, texture, fine lines, wrinkles, breakouts, and dark spots (hyperpigmentation). When your skin peels or flakes after a treatment your skin is shedding dead or damaged surface cells and revealing new, healthy skin cells on the surface. This action is called cell turnover. Supporting the cell turnover process with chemical peels is what allows the skin to shed dead cells and bring new, fresh skin to the surface, free of signs of aging, sun damage, dirt and debris. The result is glowing skin.

A very effective type of “manual exfoliation” is dermaplaning. It removes the outer most layers of dead skin cells leaving the skin immediately smooth, supple and vibrant. When dermaplaning the skin, another benefit is that the vellus hair is shaved off. Dermaplaning promotes a more even skin tone and texture. It helps topical skincare products penetrate more effectively and makeup lay beautifully. Dermaplaning is another non-traumatic method of skin rejuvenation that requires no downtime at all.

Rejuvapen microneedling system utilizes 9 precisely spaced micro needles in a small cartridge to create invisible, vertical, micro perforations into the top layers of skin. As a result the skin shifts its natural repair mechanism into high gear and starts producing collagen and elastin to repair these micro-perforations. The self-repairing property of the skin is a 100% natural form of skin renewal from the inside out. Your skin becomes firmer and regains its elasticity. Fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced. Pores become finer, circulation is stimulated and the overall condition of the skin improves. This procedure is also recommended for the treatment of acne scarring, surgical scars, and burns. Add on GROWTH FACTORS: Hipurity human fibroblast growth factors can be infused into the skin with the microneedles for an

What is the downtime?
Typically the healing depends on the severity of the damaged skin and the depth of the procedure. Most commonly there may be some redness that resembles mild sunburn. This may last 2-4 days. Some patients may have the redness dissipate within 24 hours.
