Facial Rejuvenation
Ultrasound Skin Rejuvenation
For the latest in anti-aging technology, try the highly effective Ultrasound skin rejuvenation treatment. Ultrasound therapy—applying ultrasonic waves externally to the skin—can reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles and blemishes, leaving your skin fresher and clearer. When treatment is followed with the application of a topical skin care product and ultrasound treatment is repeated, the effects can be dramatic. The ultrasonic waves go deep into the skin, carrying the product into the skin and enhancing its benefit.
Fotofacial Intense Pulse Light (IPL) Treatment
The Fotofacial intense pulsed light (IPL) system is a revolutionary new photo rejuvenation treatment that helps permanently eliminate or reduce sun or age spots, vascular lesions, rosacea, and other skin imperfections. The system works by emitting a special light to break up pigment in the lesions. In most cases, these lesions fade away after 10 to 14 days—leaving your skin flawless.
Thermage
Thermage is a non-invasive skin care procedure that delivers renewed facial contours and tighter skin while building healthier collagen. It employs a patented radio-frequency technology called ThermoCool™ that has been clinically proven to tighten and gently lift skin smoothing out wrinkles while renewing facial contours. It requires no downtime from normal activities and can be performed on patients of all skin types.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is an aesthetic skin rejuvenation procedure used since the early 1980s. The crystal-free system, which involves vacuum pressure through a diamond-tipped instrument polishes the skin. This process cleans the pores, smoothes the texture, stimulates collagen and fibrin formation, improves product penetration, and increases circulation and lymphatic drainage. It is used to treat conditions such as sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, acne, whiteheads, blackheads, oily skin, large pores, rough texture, superficial pigmentation, and superficial scars.
