GLYCOLIC PEELS
  (FRUIT ACID or ALPHA HYDROXY PEELS)

Glycolic Acid is a naturally occurring substance, made from sugar cane. It is supposed to be the “secret weapon” giving Cleopatra her beautiful skin thousands of years ago. The treatments are typically performed on the face, neck or hands. Glycolic Acid is carefully applied to the skin, leaving it smoother and less wrinkled after the treatment. These peels are excellent not only for the improvement of sun damage, such as wrinkles and brown spots, but also for treatment of acne prone skin and large pores. Because of their gentle nature, there is no downtime involved.

 MICRODERMABRASION
  (PARISIAN PEEL or LUNCHTIME PEEL)

This is a non-invasive, gentle treatment, utilizing very fine crystals in getting you the smooth, evenly textured, evenly colored skin you have always desired. In a series of treatments, microdermabrasion leads to tighter and smaller pores, elimination of blotchiness and pigmentation marks as well as improvement of fine lines due to the formation of new, healthy collagen as a result of the treatment. This is another “crowd pleaser” that we often combine with Glycolic Acid Peels for anti-aging as well as acne treatment. It is remarkably helpful in the elimination of brown facial pigmentation from Melasma (a hormonal condition often following pregnancy, use of Birth Control Pills or just appearing for no good reasons). It also helps fade out dark marks remaining on the skin from traumas of various sorts.

 LIP ENHANCEMENT

This is a very popular option for the young and beautiful in order to achieve that very popular look of full, sensual “Angelina Jolie” lips. The most commonly used material is Collagen, which is a natural component of our skin. Collagen is injected into and around the lip to enhance and create the desired fullness. We recommend an over-the-counter anesthetic cream to make the treatment more pleasant. Currently, other substances are in the process of approval by the FDA and will provide additional options. Restylane and Artecoll are just two such examples.

 FACIAL WRINKLE and SCAR FILLERS

Collagen is the most commonly used therapy for smoothing out facial lines, wrinkles, and scars by restoring the surface of the skin to its previous natural state. The collagen is injected just beneath the skin’s surface, and produces an immediately visible difference in the appearance of your skin. The most commonly treated areas are the deep lines that run from the nose to the lips, as well as the vertical “smokers lines” above the lips. Periodic re-treatments are recommended to maintain the improvements achieved. This is a great way to jazz up your looks for that big event or blind date tonight!

 RESTYLANE®

This is a wonderful new alternative to collagen that can be used for lip enhancement and wrinkle and scar treatments. RESTYLANE, which has been used in the last years successfully in Europe, was recently  approved by the FDA as the newest filler for facial wrinkles. RESTYLANE, made of hyalouronic acid, is already a favorite over collagen, because it requires no skin tests and lasts much longer than collagen. Now we have a safe, long lasting material to make you look instantly younger! 

The FDA is currently in the process of approving two similar products by the same manufacturer: RESTYLANE FINE LINES for thin skin with shallow wrinkles and also PERLANE, which is a more concentrated version of Restylane so that it lasts longer in the lines on the lower face and the lips.
