Laser Genesis Skin Rejuvenation

A comfortable skin therapy procedure used to promote vibrant and healthy looking skin. Treating signs of aging and sun damage such as diffuse redness (often associated with rosacea), large pores, uneven texture and fine lines, can give you a more youthful appearance. This Cutera™ procedure has been scientifically proven to produce new collagen over time. Laser Genesis is non-invasive, allowing you to immediately return to normal activities. Treatments are done 2-4 weeks apart, generally in a package of 6.

Solar Genesis

This skin therapy is an innovative way to diminish and remove sun spots from the face and body. This advanced pulsed light technology from Cutera™ delivers visible light, which is absorbed by the pigmented spots. After about a week, spots will lighten. Multiple sessions may be necessary depending on size and darkness of sun damage treated. Sessions are performed at 3 week intervals & involve little downtime or discomfort. May be combined with microdermabrasion & Jessners Chemical Peel.

Laser Vein Therapy

Rid yourself of those unsightly surface veins on both face and body with our non-invasive Cutera™ CoolGlide® Laser Vein Therapy. Our advanced laser system delivers light energy, causing heat that destroys the targeted veins and clears the appearance of the skin. The CoolGlide® system features a unique design and long wavelength that allows patients of all ethnicities and skin tones to be treated.

Laser Hair Removal

Permanently reduce unwanted dark hair from the face and body. The CoolGlideR Laser from Cutera™ is effective on both men and women of all skin types. Generally, most areas will require a minimum of 4 treatments which are done 6-8 weeks apart, allowing hair to be targeted in each growth stage.

Dermaglide™ Microdermabrasion

A very safe and natural way to evenly exfoliate the skin, mixing gentle abrasion with suction to gently remove the dead, outer skin cell layer. Benefits of this treatment include: decreased appearance of fine lines and pores, improvement of uneven skin tone and repair of sun damaged skin. Microdermabrasion can also help improve acne and acne-related scarring. Although the most significant results are achieved through a customized series, your skin will feel more smooth and radiant after a single treatment. You can return to all normal activities immediately following the treatment.

Glycolic Acid Peel

This light peel is a great treatment for mild exfoliation. Glycolic is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane. AHA's are a family of naturally occurring organic acids that function as water binding humectants as well as exfoliators. Glycolic is one of the most commonly used acids, as it's the smallest molecular and gives the best penetration. This peel helps to improve overall texture, tone and penetration of products. It requires no downtime and makeup can be immediately re-applied.

Jessners Chemical Peel

Produce an improved appearance of the skin by removing the damaged outer skin cell layer with a Jessners Chemical Peel. Often paired with microdermabrasion, this peel helps improve mild scarring, large pores, fine lines, sun damage, texture and tone. Give about one week for skin to completely peel. This peel can be done on most skin types and is recommended for fall or winter months, due to sun exposure.

Thermage®

Great for skin that has lost elasticity, or has become somewhat loose and saggy. ThermaCool®, by Thermage®, uses a sophisticated treatment tip to deliver a controlled amount of capacitive radiofrequency (CRF) energy into the skin. This procedure uniformly heats a large volume of collagen in the deeper layers and its underlying tissue, while simultaneously protecting the outer layer with cooling. Deep uniform heating tightens existing collagen, while producing new and remodeled collagen over the next 2 - 6 months. Collagen synthesis improves the skins texture, tone and reduces sagging. Thermage® is incision-free, requires no downtime from normal activities and can be performed on patients of all skin types.

Permanent Cosmetics

Cosmetic tattooing is the art & science of implanting color into the skin, to help give back what time has taken away. Lips, eyebrows & eyeliner can all be enhanced. Permanent makeup is not necessarily intended to replace cosmetics completely, depending on how you wear your makeup. Because the color is placed "in" your skin & not "on" your skin, the results are a softer, more natural look. Because permanent cosmetic pigment is different than regular tattoo ink, color will fade over the years, allowing change if desired.

Cosmetic Application / Cosmetic Lesson

With its pharmaceutical grade ingredients, antioxidants and highly-pigmented minerals, this line is very therapeutic and can be used on all skin types-- even acne prone. Makeup artists and celebrities such as Diane Lane, Kate Beckinsale, Tom Cruise, Lindsay Lohan, Cameron Diaz and Matt Lauer reach for glōminerals™ both on and off set.

Botox®

Decrease the wrinkles in the forehead, brow and around the eyes with this quick, non-surgical procedure. Tiny injections of BOTOX® Cosmetic prevent the targeted muscles from contracting, allowing them to relax. When powerful muscles contract, they cause the skin to fold or furrow. Overtime, this breaks down the collagen and elasticity, which becomes a wrinkle.

Juvéderm™ Injectable Filler

Bring back volume and smooth away facial lines and folds with Juvéderm™ injectable gel. Juvéderm™ is a colorless hyaluronic acid gel that is injected into facial tissue to smooth wrinkles and folds, especially around the nose and mouth. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body, which promotes hydration and cushion to the skin. Having this quick, in-office procedure will replace the HA your skin has lost-- with little to no down time and immediate results.

COSMECEUTICAL SKIN CARE PRODUCTS

Cosmeceuticals are medical grade products carried in a clinical skin care office. These potent products are used to prep and protect the skin for treatments & to achieve the most beneficial results available topically for anti-aging. Clinical strength products are an important part of pre-treating before a skin care procedure, as well as helping to maintain your result long-term.

Newport Cosmeceuticals

Newport Cosmeceuticals has used the most advanced science, raw materials and technology over the last 10 years in developing this highly effective skin care line. Containing vitamins and antioxidants such as Peptides, Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamins E & K, Green Tea and Ginko Biloba Extracts. Newport Cosmeceuticals also incorporate such acids as Hyaluronic, L-Ascorbic (Vitamin C), Alpha Lipoic and Glycolic into this clinical skin care line. These products are designed to deliver dramatic results in a minimal amount of time.

VIVITÉ® Advanced Skin Care with GLX Technology™

This exclusive GLX Technology™ developed by Allergan, the makers of BOTOX® Cosmetic, is a unique fusion of clincal strength glycolic acid and natural antioxidants. The glycolic compound is the
most effective exfoliant available with high delivery, minimal irritation and extended release. This GLX Technology™ also contains natural antioxidants that protect epidermal cells from the harmful effects of environmental stressors. Without protection from topical antioxidants, free radicals attack
and prematurely age the skin. Fused together, the glycolic compound and natural antioxidants promote the production of hyaluronic acid, collagen and epidermal growth factor in the skin.

Prevage® MD anti-aging treatment by Allergan

PREVAGE® MD [1% Idebenone] anti-aging treatment is scientifically shown to be the most powerful antioxidant available in a skin care product today. Idebenone helps protect against skin damage by chemically trapping and neutralizing each free-radical it touches. Destructive free-radical buildup (oxidative stress) causes accelerated loss of elasticity, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. The source of free-radicals may be external from the environment, or internal from cell activity. These include UV light, air pollution, ozone, cigarette smoke and even oxygen. PREVAGE® MD used daily produces healthier, more youthful looking skin.
