Added Touch Services
Fraxel® Laser Treatment
Fraxel® Laser Treatment is a safe, non-invasive procedure that restores skin to a youthful and healthy look. The Fraxel® SR1500 Laser restores overall texture and tone to the skin, eliminating age spots and, smoothing wrinkles. The Fraxel® SR1500 Laser is also FDA approved for the treatment of melasma, acne and surgical scars. It is also expected to be FDA approved for stretch marks and the reduction of large pores by the end of the year.
ND:YAG technology. Candela’s GentleYAG laser. FDA approved, laser hair reduction has never been safer or more effective. The laser is perfectly suited for the more delicate facial skin, sensitive bikini areas, and legs of women as well as the rougher skin areas of a man like the back and under arms. The use of the Nd:YAG technology makes it possible to treat all skin types including really dark skin tones. Some lasers target the hair and the hair follicle. More sophisticated lasers target the hair bulb. The GentleYAG goes one step farther by targeting not only the shaft and the bulb but the blood supply feeding the bulb. The GentleYAG is one of few lasers approved by the FDA to claim “Permanent Hair Reduction.” Doctor on site at all times. Staff thoroughly trained.
A non-surgical, non-invasive process that offers safe and controlled skin abrasion. This procedure utilizes micro-crystals of a high medical grade, which are propelled at a high speed across the skin’s surface to abrade the skin’s tissue. Debris and used crystals are vacuumed away leaving the skin clean and refreshed. The stimulated blood flow to the surface of the skin increases the oxygenation, causing an enhancement of cell renewal and collagen regrowth. The massaging action of the microdermabrasion treatment creates a flushing and cleansing effect below the skin surface resulting in a vibrant healthy appearance and complexion. Indicated for fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, aging skin, sun-damaged skin, acne (clogged pores and scars), blemishes, dry skin, oily skin. Does not have the down time as laser resurfacing or chemical peels. Typically 7 treatments are needed for optimal results. Treatments take 30 minutes.
Therapeutic Massage:
Long, relaxing strokes soothe the nerves and reduce stress. This relaxing massage is designed to relieve tension and stress by combining long gliding strokes with muscle kneading. The result is pure relaxation. The perfect gift for yourself or someone you know.Post-
Operative Massage:
Concentrates on lymphatic drainage and helps speed up the recovery process after a surgical procedure.
Restylane®:
Restylane® is indicated for mid-to-deep dermal implantation for the correction of moderate to sever facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. RESTYLANE® is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance, called hyaluronic acid. The gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The result is instantaneous and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement, gentle and safe to your skin.
Radiesse®, like Restylane® is considered a cosmetic filler. If you are interested in lip augmentation and facial contouring, but you would like something that lasts longer than 6 months and less than forever, then Radiesse® may be for you. Radiesse® is a biocompatible product, which consists of calcium hydroxyapatate microspheres in a gel carrier. Radiesse® injections last anywhere from 2-5 years. Radiesse® does not require skin testing because it is the same mineral component as bone and teeth. Typically, the patient who has never had their lips augmented before might opt for something less permanent like Restylane® (hyaluronic acid). For those who are confident of the look they want, then Radiesse® may be just the ticket. The procedure is done in the office with local anesthesia and takes about 15 minutes. Down time is minimal and the patient can look good in 24 to 36 hours.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein, administered in a simple, non-surgical procedure, that will temporarily improve the appearance of some facial wrinkles. BOTOX® Cosmetic is also effective in stopping axillary hyperhidrosis (armpit sweating) in people 18 to 65 years of age. BOTOX® Cosmetic is administered only by physicians so you will need to make an appointment to see one of our surgeons for this procedure.
Chemical peels are acidic solutions applied to your face to smooth the surface of your skin, improve your skin tone and color, diminish wrinkles and shrink blood vessels and pore size. The effects can be as strong as some lasers. Peel solutions typically contain one of the following exfoliating agents, in order of potency: alpha hydroxyl acid (glycolic acid), beta hydroxyl acid (salicylic acid), tricholoracetic acid (TCA) or a phenol.
Although alpha hydroxy peels are offered over the counter they do not posses the same concentration levels as those available to plastic surgeons. This peel works by causing several of the top layers of skin to dry up and to peel off over a period of several days. When the old layer has peeled off, it exposes a new layer of undamaged skin which has a smoother texture and more even color.
ACPS offer the BioMedic MicroPeel® Plus which uses Salicylic acid, a beta hydroxyl acid, to slogh off dead cells and debris while stimulating the skin’s natural renewal processes. The BioMedic MicroPeel® was designed for patients who want to refine skin texture damaged by environmental factors and skin conditions such as acne.
TCA Peel:
The deepest peel and is only done by a doctor and is not part of ancillary. TCA = Trichloracetic Acid. Removes top layer of skin allowing healthier underlayer to come to the surface.
Added Touch services also include permanent makeup the perfect solution for the active woman, and the full line of Biomedic™, La Roche-Posay™, Obagi™ skin care and Colorscience™ products and services.
