As with similar fillers, the hylauronic acid (HA) in Juvederm products binds with water to create volume that temporarily corrects facial rhytides.

The appearance of wrinkles and facial folds can be smoothed by adding structure and volume underneath the skin and actually help reverse the signs of aging. This is a temporary effect and can be combined with many other treatments for Facial Rejuvenation.

Sculptra is composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic material. Sculptra is not made from human or animal sources and does not require a skin test. Sculptra is a biocompatible (does not harm the body) and biodegradable (able to be broken down by the body) material that has been widely used for many years in surgical products such as absorbable sutures.

The effects of Sculptra are long lasting. In several clinical studies, the effects lasted for two to three years after the first series of injections. The results from Sculptra are not immediate. Sculptra provides a gradual increase in the thickness of the skin and subcutaneous tissue.

Touch-up treatments will be needed to maintain the desired effect after the first two years. Three or four injections over two or three months are usually necessary when the treatment is started.

Permanent Hair Reduction
The Palomar hair removal hand pieces emit pulses of light into the hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicles and converted into heat. The heat then loosens the hair and disables the cells responsible for growing new hair. How is Pulsed Light different from Laser? Pulsed Light Systems and lasers are similar, but Palomar Pulsed Light Systems use a much larger treatment window which spreads light over a wider area of skin. This allows faster coverage and quicker treatments. Popular treatment areas include the face,(except around the eyes),upper lip, neck, under arms, bikini line, legs, chest, and back. Typically, several treatments will be necessary for permanent hair reduction.

Pulsed Light Photofacials
The Palomar RejuveLux hand pieces emit pulses into the skin. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the sunspots and the blood in the visible vessels, and is converted to heat. The heat dissolves the cells that creates the pigment and shrinks the vessels. All areas may be treated, except directly around the eyes. The process is able to clear sunspots, rosacea, telangiectasias, and other conditions in order to improve skin tone.

Spider Vein Removal
The Palomar Lux1064 offers a more comfortable and effective leg vein treatment. It's non invasive laser pulses cause unsightly vessels to fade from view in a few treatments or less. The treatment is ideal for targeting leg veins and may be used on the face and other body areas. The light pulses heat the blood within the leg vein. The heat of the blood affects the vessel lining, which causes the vessel to constrict and eventually fade from view.

Skin Tightening
The Palomar LuxIR Fractional hand piece delivers infrared light deep into the dermis. This light causes soft tissue coagulation which leads to remodeling of the collagen within the dermis. The remodeled collagen fills in wrinkles and sagging for overall skin tightening.

The Palomar LuxIR Fractional method delivers an array of small beams. Each beam creates a heated column in the dermis, which is surrounded by an unaffected area. The unaffected tissue stimulates quicker collagen remodeling and faster healing. Generally, you can receive a treatment and go back to work or other activities without any recovery time. A series of treatments at 4-6 week intervals may be required to achieve the desired result of smoother, tighter skin in the face, arms, hands, abdomen and other areas.

Our Laser Treatments require a consultation with our PA-C, Kay Case. This complimentary consultation includes a patch test and a full treatment plan will be discussed as well as special pricing packages made available.

The stress we face in daily life makes us move our facial muscles repetitively as a subconscious response to our emotions. Facial muscles begin to create permanent creases and wrinkles around, above and between our eyes, making us look older than we are.
