What is BOTOX® Cosmetic? Treatment
with BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple nonsurgical procedure used to reduce lines and wrinkles in
the brow area, frown lines, and crow’s feet. One ten minute treatment--a few tiny injections--relaxes the muscles
that cause these deep lines.
How long does it last? In most individuals, BOTOX® Cosmetic will last three to
four months. Its effects may be seen as early as three days after injection. After receiving repeated treatments
of BOTOX® Cosmetic, the effects usually last longer--in some cases, six months and longer between repeated treatments.
What are the potential side effects? Side effects are rare, but the most
common include bruising and temporary headache. A very small percentage of individuals may develop a ptosis (eyelid
drooping), but this is temporary and amendable with prescription eye drops.
Is the treatment painful? Discomfort is minimal. Once the injection
is completed, there is usually no discomfort.
Are there any contraindications to receiving BOTOX® Cosmetic? The only true contraindications are current pregnancy, a history of neuromuscular disease (myasthenia gravis),
or active skin infection in the treatment area.
What areas are typically treated? The three most common areas are 1) frown lines, 2) forehead (brow)lines, and 3 ) Crow's feet. (pictures
below).

What is Restylane®? Restylane®
is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based called hyaluronic acid. The gel is injected into the skin in tiny
amounts. The result is instantaneous and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement, gentle and safe to your skin.
How does it work? Restylane®
is injected into the skin in order to add volume to lips and lift up wrinkles and folds.
Where is Restylane® injected? It is used to treat nasolabial folds, lip lines, lip boarders and used for lip augmentation.
How long does it last? Restylane® lasts twice as long as collagen. Its effects are immediate and usually
lasts 4-6 months with lip treatments and 6-12 months when treating nasolabial folds.
Are there any side effects? After the treatment some common injection-related reactions may occur, such as swelling, redness, pain, itching, discoloration
and tenderness at the injection site. These typically resolve spontaneously within a few days after injection into the
skin.
Is it safe? As Restylane®
is a totally non-animal product, there is no risk of eliciting allergic reactions and there is no risk of transmitting disease.
Unlike collagen injections, you do not need to have prior skin testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
 
What Areas Can Be Treated with the Laser?
Hair can be removed from all parts of the body including face, legs, arms, underarms
and back. The laser can also be used to treat sensitive areas like the chest and bikini line.
 
What Do the Laser Treatments Feel Like?
The handpiece cools and soothes as it glides over your skin. When the pulse of light
is delivered, some patients experience a mild stinging sensation. In addition, the licensed medical esthetician will use the
Zimmer in tandem with the laser. The Zimmer is a machine that blows refrigerated air onto your skin. This deep cooling effect
acts to numb the skin prior to the laser pulse. No anesthetic or pain medication is typically required.
How Many Treatments Do I Need?
Most areas require 3– 6 treatments, but the number of treatments you may need
to optimize long term benefits depends on your hair’s thickness, the area being treated, and your hair’s growth
cycle.
 
What Happens After the Treatment?
Immediately following your treatment the area may be a bit red and slightly swollen,
similar to a mild sunburn. Three to seven days after the treatment, you may experience what seems to be a regrowth of hair.
Actually, the hair is being shed. You should not wax or pluck hair in-between treatments, but you can shave with an electric
razor. You may return to normal activities immediately and should wear a sunscreen.
What Are Possible Side Effects?
Slight reddening and local swelling of the skin, similar to a sunburn. These effects
typically last for several hours or less. In rare circumstances, blistering may occur.
Laser Genesis
SKIN REJUVENATION
Laser Genesis is an innovative, technologically advanced way to promote vibrant and healthy looking skin in men
and women. Now you can have a youthful appearance by treating those conditions that are typically associated with premature
signs of aging and sun damage, such as excessive redness, large pores, uneven texture, and fine line wrinkles.
The Laser Genesis difference.
The Laser Genesis procedure utilizes laser technology to safely, discretely and effectively treat uneven
skin texture, scars, large pores, and diffuse and excessive redness. Laser Genesis is a comfortable, non-ablative, non-invasive
form of skin therapy. You can expect to see subtle yet consistent results after each treatment, without unwanted side effects
such as bruising or excessive skin irritation. Your therapy can be performed in a relaxed, comfortable manner without the
use of general or local anesthesia, gel or cream.
What areas can be treated?
Laser Genesis patients report excellent results over their entire faces and necks. Additionally, practitioners
may suggest this therapy to diminish recent scars on other parts of the body.
 
What is diffuse redness?
Diffuse redness is a general appearance of facial redness, such as rosy cheeks. This condition is caused
by dilated capillaries, resulting in an appearance of general redness, not discrete, well-defined vessels. The most commonly
affected areas are the nose, forehead and cheeks. Diffuse redness is often associated with a condition called rosacea and
it can be hereditary. Laser Genesis therapy will help your appearance by gently treating and reducing this condition.
 
What does the procedure feel like ?
Patients often describe the treatment as relaxing and therapeutic. You will experience a gentle warming
of your skin’s surface during the procedure as the laser handpiece is moved back and forth about 1/2 inch above your
skin. You can expect to immediately return to normal activities, utilizing sunscreen if participating in outdoor activities.
How does Laser Genesis work?
By gently heating the upper dermis well below your skin’s surface, Laser Genesis
stimulates collagen regrowth.
What can I expect before the treatment?
You will not need to apply any gel, anesthetic cream or ice prior to treatment. Before the actual Laser
Genesis treatment, you will be asked to remove your make-up or moisturizers and, in some cases, you may be asked
to shave the area to be treated so as not to interfere with the laser therapy. Your physician will review and assist with
all pre-treatment requirements.
How many treatments will I need?
The treatment results are often subtle. On average, you may require four to six treatments in order to
achieve the results you are looking for. Every patient’s condition and needs vary. For more information about your expected
results or the number of treatments necessary, consult your physician.
What are the possible side effects?
Although most patients report few if any side effects, the most common is a slight redness that disappears
within a few hours of treatment. Consult your medical professional for complete information about the benefits and risks of
treatment.
What kind of textural improvements can you expect with Laser Genesis?
Over the course of four to six treatments, Laser Genesis therapy can help restore your
skin’s youthful glow and appearance by smoothing out uneven textures caused by aging, sun damage or scars. You will
see a more creamy, healthy complexion as large pores are reduced in size, and minor imperfections are diminished. The individual
treatment results are subtle, but the overall effect of multiple treatments can be quite dramatic.
