Cosmetic Medicine: Be Yourself, Only Better

What is cosmetic medicine?

Cosmetic Medicine or Appearance Medicine as its also known covers all of the cosmetic medical treatments that do not involve surgery. The non-surgical treatments are often regarded as “lunchtime “ procedures in that there is very little if any downtime.

As these are prescription medicines only a doctor or a registered nurse working under the doctor’s supervision can perform them.

What can Botox and Dermal Fillers do?

When the visible signs of aging are written on your face, Botox and Dermal Fillers offer ways to remove them temporarily. We are all born with a reserve of collagen and elastin in the skin that makes the face look smooth, plump, and wrinkle-free. As we age, these reserves deplete, which causes permanent reminders of aging on the face.

These injectable treatments can add volume or smooth and remove fine lines and wrinkles from these areas and more:

• Eye area
• Eyebrow region
• Cheeks
• Forehead
• Lips
• Mouth

Botox

Botox is the most famous non-surgical treatment for fine lines and wrinkles for a good reason—it works. This FDA-approved treatment is useful for both smoothing wrinkles and preventing new wrinkles from forming. During treatment, we isolate the wrinkle-causing muscle and encourage it to relax. When the muscle relaxes, it cannot contract to create a line or wrinkle.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid (a naturally occurring hydrating substance in your skin) and will provide a refreshed, and more youthful look. Unlike wrinkles (which require muscle relaxants to soften them), facial volume loss and folds require a dermal filler to help restore this volume loss and hydrate the area.

So, whether you’re looking to smooth away wrinkles, enhance facial contours, create fuller lips or rejuvenate your skin – this treatment can restore fullness and volume – targeted to address your problem area.

What Is CoolTech?

Sometimes fat is so stubborn that even diet and exercise can’t remove it. This isn’t your fault; many people have this problem, and the only solution is aesthetic medical treatment. CoolTech technology involves a process where fat cells are frozen by a controlled cooling system and then eliminated naturally, without damage to your skin or other cells.

The method is non-invasive, safe and very effective, almost painless and requires no time-out for recovery.

Cooltech treatment is NOT for everyone. If you are underweight or more than a little overweight, or have lost a great deal of weight and have loose rolls of skin, your practitioner will recommend an alternative treatment.

What is involved in the PRP Vampire Face Lift?

With a “vampire” in the name, you probably guessed that there is blood involved in this groundbreaking, non-surgical facelift treatment. The PRP Vampire Face Lift uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) found in your own blood to smooth, soften, and bring a more youthful appearance to the skin.

The process involved in the PRP Vampire Face Lift includes taking a sample of your blood and extracting the PRP. We combine the extracted PRP with highly concentrated platelets that stimulate the growth of new healthy skin cells. We inject this PRP mixture back into the treatment area, which encourages the body to heal cells and generate new, healthy cells and tissues. This treatment works with the body for a natural aesthetic enhancement with long-lasting results that last up to two years.

Laser Aesthetic Treatments

We offer our clients a variety of laser aesthetic treatments using only world-class technology. We offer laser treatments for anti-aging, fading discoloration, complexion revitalizing, and boosting feminine health.

Lotus Gyno Laser 

The Lotus Gyno Laser offers effective treatment for the symptoms of vaginal relaxation syndrome, vaginal atrophy (aging) and stress urinary incontinence (light bladder leakage). These conditions can affect women of all ages, causing physical discomfort, emotional stress and a loss of confidence. It stimulates the body’s own regenerative processes to improve blood circulation, regenerate healthy cells and in turn improve strength and elasticity of pelvic floor muscles and a tighter more lubricated vaginal wall.

CO2 Laser Treatment

The latest fractional carbon dioxide CO2 lasers are one of the most effective treatments on the market for the non-surgical revitalization of the skin. It uses laser microbeams to create tiny pin-point punctures in the surface of the skin and penetrates the deeper layers of the skin.

It can be used to safely improve the texture of all the skin types including all the areas of face, neck, arms, hands, chest, and legs. Great results are seen in patients in their late 40s-70s who have moderate to deep sun damage or wrinkles or severe scarring from acne.

Tattoo Removal

Some people get tattooed and regret the decision further on. Tattoo ink is made of tiny particles that sit under the skin. These ink particles are too big for your white blood cells to eliminate. Using a laser, we can break up these larger ink particles, allowing your body to absorb the pigment and remove it from your body naturally.

In many cases, there will be a 100% clearance of the tattoo. On average, 95% fading is considered a good result. The result depends upon the color and type of ink used as well as the depth of penetration of the ink in the skin.
