CoolSculpting®

Say goodbye to muffin tops and love handles.
CoolSculpting® is the coolest, most innovative, non-surgical way to lose those annoying bumps and bulges of stubborn fat. This revolutionary technology targets and cools unwanted fat cells in the selected area to induce a noticeable, natural-looking reduction in fat bulges. Unlike most other methods of fat reduction, CoolSculpting involves no needles, surgery, or downtime. Patients often spend procedure time reading, working on their laptops, or simply relaxing. It’s safe, FDA-cleared and effective. Results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three months.

What will the results be?
Many patients are satisfied after one treatment. However, during your consultation, we can discuss a treatment plan that will meet your specific treatment needs.

What happens during the treatment?
To initiate the treatment we will position the device on your body. The device will then draw the bulge up between two cooling panels. The sensation is a firm pull and pressure – enough of a pull to ensure the selected tissue will be cooled most efficiently. An hour or so later, depending on your needs, you’re done.

The Madonna Eyelift

Tighten your eyelid skin, reduce dark circles and elevate your eye brows all without surgical risk and minimal down time!

The Madonna Lift is the newest way to treat the wrinkles and saggy, lax skin around the eyes. Your physician will use the most advanced fractional CO2 laser known as the SmartXide DOT to treat these problem areas. The fractional laser treats deep into the skin around your eyes to plump up wrinkles, tighten the skin, lift sagging brows and improve the appearance…all without any surgical incisions.

How does it work?
DOT Therapy employs the latest fractional technology, which treats only a fraction of the skin at a time. The laser uses specially modulated beams of light about the width of a human hair, to penetrate into the skin. These beams of light destroy and contract the old collagen within the wrinkles and incite the body’s natural wound healing process to create new, youthful collagen in the skin. This causes the wrinkles around the eyes to plump up, tighten and soften.

Will it work for anyone?
The Madonna lift can be used on most patients with drooping eyelids, brows, and wrinkles around the eyes. However, only your physician can tell you if it is right for you. [Read more...]

Vampire Face Lift

How does the Vampire Face Lift work?

Step 1. Revive The Shape of Your Skin

At the core of all connective tissues in the human body is a highly organized water-binding molecule called hyaluronan, better known as hyaluronic acid (HA). The unique properties of the sugars that make up HA contribute to the overall structure and cushioning of the skin. HA also facilitates the maintenance of healthy skin by promoting intercellular communication for efficient elastin and collagen production. Because the natural synthesis of HA’s component sugars slow not only with age but also with sun exposure, HA’s water-binding capacity to retain moisture is weakened. With less moisture in the skin, collagen and elastin production also slows and shallow to deep wrinkles begin to form as the skin loses it’s youthful structure. In order to restore the look of fullness to your skin, a normal level of HA water-holding complex needs to be restored. By utilizing a long-lasting hyaluronic acid gel, your “Vampire” professional can lift the skin away from the bone and youthful volume can be restored to a beautiful shape. This initial injection of HA is the first step in the journey to a younger you. [Read more...]

Botox

What is Botox?

In an effort to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, many people are turning to Botox® Cosmetic. The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, simply called Botox® Cosmetic, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Botox® Cosmetic has also been shown effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes. [Read more...]
