Wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. It's not just about cellular changes, collagen depletion, or damage caused by free radicals. When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. When you squint, the muscles around your eyes contract and cause crow's feet. BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the skin's surface and targets the underlying muscle activity that causes frown lines and crow's feet to form over time.Your doctor will inject BOTOX® Cosmetic into the muscles that cause frown lines and crow's feet lines, temporarily reducing the activity of those muscles. The result is a reduction in the appearance of those lines.

Please keep in mind that peeling is a side effect of the peel and not indicative of the efficacy of the peel. It is important to protect the skin daily with SPF 30 or higher!

This revolutionary system, available only to licensed medical practitioners, combines precision brush tip exfoliation, topical solutions and variable vacuum pressure for the most precise, efficacious and comfortable skin treatments available. Dermasweep features a closed system with a variable level vacuum pump that gently lifts the skin as our bristles “sweep away” the dead layer of skin in a precise and controlled manner. Our patent pending bristle tips fully eliminate the mess and hazards associated with traditional crystal systems. Further, these polyester or nylon bristles prevent the buildup of keratin on the wand which has been a problem with other particle-free systems. DermaSweep enables air flow through the bristles to allow the skin to be gently drawn into the bristle for a more effective and less irritating exfoliation.

This surgical technique has become extensively utilized since it has the exceptional ability to remove the cancerous skin cells while conserving the largest amount of healthy skin tissue achievable and it has tremendously high cure rates at 98% or higher.

Automated Micro-Needling (also known as Percutaneous Collagen Induction Therapy or PCIT) is a new innovation in aesthetic medicine for the treatment of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, pore size, acne scars and improvement of the skin’s appearance. After your skin is numbed with a topical cream, your provider will begin treatment. Tiny needles are used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in a thicker dermis with the appearance of softer wrinkles. Automated micro-needling also creates superficial microchannels, which allow topical serums and creams to be absorbed more effectively into the skin for better results. Patients typically need 3-6 treatments for best results. This treatment is pain-free and requires little down time.
