botox cosmetic BOTOX® is a highly purified, naturally occurring protein which is injected into specific muscle with a very fine point needle. It has the ability to very precisely relax the muscles to which it is applied. This relaxation lasts for a number of months after which the treated muscles gradually return to their original condition. BOTOX® does not affect the sensory nerves in the skin, so there is no numbness in the treated areas.

BOTOX® treatments can be stopped at any time with no permanent effects on your appearance. If you have

BOTOX® treatments for several years, you may find that the muscles will take longer to return to their original condition, leading to some improvement in your fine lines and wrinkles, particularly if you are careful to protect your skin from sun exposure and smoke.
botox therapeutic A pleasant side effect of BOTOX® treatment to the forehead, eyebrows, and crow’s feet is the reduction or elimination of headaches & excessive sweating. BOTOX® used for headaches and excessive sweating is called Botox Therapeutic.

This is the same medication as BOTOX Cosmetic™, but because it is used for medical purposes, clients with specific drug plans can get this treatment at a discounted price or for free.
fillers Fillers like Restylane™, Perlane™, Juvederm & Teosyal, collagen (Zyplast™ and Zyderm™), Artecoll™ and other products fill creases, lips, cheekbones, and also defects like acne scars. Sometimes BOTOX® is used in combination with fillers when treating certain areas where permanent deep lines have resulted from over activity of the muscles e.g. some frown lines on the lower forehead or wrinkles around the lips.

acne treatment Acne is a common medical condition that affects upto 80 percent of adolescents & adults at some point in their lives. It is caused by a bacteria know as Corynaebactrium Acne. The bacterium grows in the blocked sebaceous glands of the skin and causes Acne. These bacteria release molecules called porphyrins. When these porphyrins are exposed to certain wavelength of light they produce free radicals that kill the bacteria.

Blu-U light therapy involves use of visible blue wavelength of light with Levulan. The Levulan (aminolevulinic acid) helps increase photosensivity & the Blu-light activates a toxic environment inside the pores and kills the acnecausing bacteria. Once the P.acne bacterium is removed, inflammation diminishes & acne clears up.
chemical peels Skin is a dynamic organ. Everyday cells divide at the basal layer of the epidermis & begin their journey upward to the uppermost layer, the stratum corneum. As new cells continue to grow, old cells from the stratum corneum slough off. This exfoliation of cells is a normal daily event. Chemical peeling is basically an accelerated form of exfoliation induced by the use of chemical peeling agents. The aim is to create as little tissue death as possible while inducing as much new tissue formation as possible.
microdermabrasion Men & women of all ages share a common desire to have healthy and youthful skin.

Sun exposure and the aging process take their toll on the skin, creating lines, wrinkles, and causing changes in texture and color of the skin. Not only is the face, but the neck, chest, cleavage, arms and hands may be affected as well. Microdermabrasion can reduce the effects of aging on our skin.

Diamondtome Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical, exfoliating treatment that improves wrinkles, skin color& texture by removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it more supple and vibrant. It stimulates the collagen tissue beneath the surface of the skin resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance.
photo rejuvenation Intensed Pulsed Light provides unparalleled performance & results for clients with photo damaged skin, unwanted fine lines & wrinkles, age spots (sun induced freckles), most benign brown pigments, broken capillaries & the redness or erythema of rosacea. It also improves skin laxity & skin texture virtually painlessly.

Photo rejuvenation uses energy from the Cutera Xeo IPL 560 laser. Laser energy penetrates without damaging the superficial layers of the skin. Cells containing excessive concentration of pigment absorb this energy. This absorbed energy stimulates your skin to disintegrate and eliminate the unwanted excessive pigment while having little or no effect on other tissues or on your normal skin color.
photo facials For a more even complexion, Advanced Foto facial skin rejuvenation treatment is a series of Intense Pulsed Light treatments that can be performed on the face, neck, hands or body. This treatment is used to improve the appearance of Rosacea, flushing skin, broken or raised capillaries, sun damaged skin, age spots, skin texture & photo-aging. This treatment also improves mild acne scars, redness, and large pores. It minimizes dark circles around the eyes & reduces fine lines.

Each of your hair follicles is in one of 3 stages of growth at any given time. The “active growth” (anagen) phase, “regressive” (catagen) phase, and “resting” (telogen) phase. The laser is most effective at destroying the hair in “anagen” phase. It is during anagen that the hair shaft contains the greatest abundance of melanin, the target of the laser light. Only 20-25% of our hair follicles are in anagen stage at any point in time. The length of growth cycle also varies slightly by body area. Your treatment plan will be customized to obtain best results.

How Laser works

Laser Hair reduction is a non-invasive light therapy specifically designed to eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body. The laser generates a pulse of intense, concentrated light which is gently applied to the treatment site through a small, cooled hand piece.

This laser energy passes through the skin to the hair follicle and is absorbed by pigment in the hair shaft and hair follicle. Because it is pigment-specific, it causes selective damage to the hair root without damaging delicate pores and structures of the skin. The laser is pulsed for only a fraction of a second hence, excessive heat is not transferred to the surrounding skin.

In just a few treatment sessions using the gentle power of lasers, you can greatly improve the appearance of the skin, which is disfigured by unwanted hair.

Areas treated
All parts of the body can be treated with Lasers with exception of area around the eyes.

Benefits
The primary benefits of laser hair treatment include:

Larger areas can be treated
Not as painful as electrolysis, waxing or tweezing.
Speed, comfort and long lasting results.
Works on any area of the body with exception of areas around the eye.

Hair colors that respond
Because lasers target the pigment in hair roots, lasers work best on black or brown hair. Very light coloured, natural red or blonde hair may require more treatment sessions, and may respond only partially. White hair does not respond to laser treatment - so get your treatments before your hair turns grey or white!

Treatment Day - HELLO LASER, GOODBYE RAZOR! Lasting hair removal has never been this easy! The areas you wish to have treated will be cleansed and pre-treatment photos may be taken. Everyone in the treatment room must wear protective eyewear when the laser is turned on. The Cutera Xeo & Syneron Lasers are high powered laser systems and can cause eye injury, if proper eye wear is not worn while the laser is used. The length of the procedure itself can range from a few minutes to an hour or more. Even more time can be saved if you come to your appointment shaved and ready to go.

Procedure

Cooling pads are applied to the skin for a few moments before the area is treated. Immediately before the laser is used on an area, the cooling pad is removed and a thin coat of clear, soothing gel is lightly applied over the skin. Then the laser pulses are quickly and evenly applied by our trained staff. You can return to work or resume normal activities immediately following your procedure. However, since some redness may occur, you may want to plan your work or social engagements accordingly. This may last from a few minutes to several days depending on the area and your individual skin’s sensitivity.

Results

Most clients experience a 70-90% reduction in the amount of hair in a given area and a reduction in the thickness and color of the remaining hair. It is not realistic to expect to be “100% hair free”. It has been suggested that a 6 month follow-up may be sufficient to assess final outcome after the final laser hair removal session, because once re-growth had stabilized (usually within 6 months), there is usually little or no change in hair counts at 6,12, and 24 months.

Safety
Our Lasers have been successfully used on many people who were not able to tolerate, or did not obtain satisfactory results with electrolysis or with older laser and “high intensity light” systems, including ruby laser, alexandrite laser, 800 nm lasers, diode lasers, and Epilight™ systems. In fact, depending on how much hair is left, people who have been partially treated with other lasers may need only one or two treatments with our laser to “finish the job”.

Laser Hair Removal is considered cosmetic and, therefore, is not covered by insurance. The client is responsible for payment. Just like fees paid to physicians, dentists and orthodontists for other medical services, fees to physicians for laser hair removal services may be tax deductible medical expenses, so save your receipts.
