Additional Information
How it is done
For unwanted wrinkles in the forehead, between the eyes and the crowsfeet beside the eyes, Botox® weakens the muscles that cause these wrinkles and can last for 4-6 months. It can take away the worried or angry look that these wrinkles can give us. Fine lines, pigment discoloration and some acne scars can be improved with chemical peels. Following a TCA peel, or Blue Peel® , your skin will be tighter, smoother and a bit lighter than before. Preconditioning your skin with Retin A or the Obagi® skin care line of products, will give a better result from the chemical peel. Dermabrasion smooths out raised scars and wrinkles around the mouth. This “sandpapering” procedure resurfaces the skin giving it a smoother appearance. Spider veins on the face and nose can be effectively treated by using a radio frequency machine making these small blood vessels disappear. Microdermabrasion is a gentle way to “polish” the skin, vacuuming away superficial skin cells . It is a way to maintain healthy, glowing skin. Quality skin care products such as Vivier® and Obagi® can reverse sun damage and improve the quality of your skin. Using a sun block daily will prevent further sun damage.
