Clinical Skin Care TREATMENTS

Today more than ever, individuals are paying closer attention to their skin care. Exposure to the elements, as well as dietary habits, can greatly affect the condition of one’s skin care. We offer a number of health-focused skin care treatments and procedures to help nurture and safeguard your skin as you age.

ESSENTIAL SKIN CARE SYSTEM

Our Essential Skin Care System is a program that is tailored to each individual’s skin to provide you with the maximum benefit and improvement in the appearance of your skin. This is a physician-formulated program that utilizes products in strengths not available over the counter.

Our program consists of two parts: The first part is an intense 6-week treatment regimen that restores your skin to a more youthful appearance and helps reverse sun damage. This is accomplished using daily applications of Retin-A and bleaching cream. The second part of our program is designed to maintain the improvements gained in the initial phase.

Our Essential Skin Care System is complete and provides all cleansers, toners, moisturizers, and exfoliators needed. This system is easy to use and will maximize the beauty and health of your skin.

FRAXEL LASER

This treatment uses fractionated laser technology to stimulate collagen in the deeper layers of your skin, decreasing wrinkles and discoloration with minimal downtimes.

INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL)

This procedure corrects a variety of benign skin conditions such as facial skin imperfections, birthmarks, brown spots and unsightly small veins.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL

We use the Venus Velocity, which is a state-of-the-art hair removal system developed to remove unwanted hair, while minimizing skin complications common with other previously available laser hair removal. This laser technique is engineered to eliminate unwanted hair easily and quickly without the hassles related to shaving, waxing, chemical depilation, or electrolysis. The Light Sheer laser beam targets and destroys the pigment located in the hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin thus significantly decreasing the hairs’ ability to re-grow.

However because hair grows in many different phases it may require multiple treatments to reduce hair growth.
Patients generally require 4–6 treatments according to skin type and area of treatment. The ideal candidates for these treatments are those with dark course hair and no tan. During your initial consultation our nurse will determine your skin type and evaluate the desired hair to be treated.

MIRADRY®

Underarm sweat is a problem for millions of people. It’s not only embarrassing, it can ruin your clothes and make you feel uncomfortable at work, on a date, at a party, or in public. Luckily, you don’t have to deal with underarm sweat any longer thanks to miraDry®. The revolutionary miraDry® treatment reduces perspiration at the source by destroying underarm sweat glands—and it is the only non-invasive treatment that is proven to work.

miraDry® is FDA-cleared and CE marked, and the treatment is done in the comfort of your doctor’s office.

miraDry® is simple: just three easy steps. The underarm area is 1) marked, 2) numbed, and 3) treated with miraDry®. And it only takes about one hour.

miraDry® uses energy that targets and destroys the sweat and odor glands in your underarm. Once those glands are destroyed they do not grow back. It’s quick, pain-free, and effective.

Medical MICRODERMABRASION

This treatment is an aggressive exfoliation that improves skin tone and texture with no pain and no recovery time.

PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY

Photodynamic Therapy is a light treatment performed with a topical photosensitizing agent called Levulan (aminolevulinic acid). This therapy is used to treat pre-cancerous lesions called actinic keratosis, sun damage, and pigmentation from sun damage. It is also used to reduce oil production from oil glands which help with acne breakouts. Most people obtain good results with one to three treatments but may require more treatments to obtain desired results.

SCLEROTHERAPY

We have had excellent success treating spider veins of the legs with the injection of sclerosing agents. We are able to treat small to medium sized veins in the office the day of your consult if you desire. There is minimal discomfort associated with the procedure, however, you will have swelling and redness over the treated areas that lasts about 24 hours.

There may be some bruising, and rarely blistering, that will resolve in a week to ten days. 3-4cc of the solution can be injected in a single session, which allows treatment of fairly extensive areas. We request that you wear a compression hose for the 48 hours after the treatment for the best results. Additional treatments can be performed at four to six week intervals. For further information, please call the office or complete our contact form.

MAKE UP SERVICES

Let our professional staff perform a make-up make-over with Jane Iredale cosmetics to enhance your natural beauty. Our make-up artists will provide personalized make-up prescriptions for daytime, evening, or special occasions creating the look you desire. We take all your stress away and let your beauty in to stay.

We also offer post operative make-up applications allowing you to return to your social life and regular routine promptly. Our make-up artists are also happy to provide new make-up ideas after surgery to go along with your new look.

Permanent makeup is also available in the office including: eyeliner, lip liner, full lip color, and eyebrows.

We utilize Premier Pigments which are carefully formulated without iron oxides, which, over a period of time can discolor and fade. The initial consultation is with our fully trained skin care nurse who will assist you with color selection and details of the procedure and recovery period. The application of permanent makeup is performed by your surgeon in our office facility with topical anesthesia or topical anesthesia with sedation. Temporary swelling, bruising and crusting may be experienced, but is very short lived. If you have any history of fever blisters and are undergoing any procedures involving the lips, you will be treated with medication to prevent and outbreak in the post-operative period.

Lite Chemical Peel

There is no recovery time, and patients return to their normal color by the next day. Some patients experience a slight amount of flaking two days after the chemical is applied, and this usually lasts about 2-3 days. These treatments will help reduce the depth for surface lines, smooth out rough skin texture, help fade brown spots, and assist in clearing acne/blemished skin.

PCA PEELS

A variety of light to medium depth peels are carefully curated to deliver multi-faceted benefits, improving texture, tone, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines.

VI Peel

VI Peel

This contains a synergistic blend of powerful ingredients suitable for all skin types, increases cell turnover, improves tone, texture, hyperpigmentation, melasma, and signs of aging.
