Botox® Cosmetic Procedures

Botox® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical, nurse administered procedure. It is used safely, simply and effectively to improve the appearance of frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet and mouth radial lines, by relaxing the underlying muscles so they don’t contract. Botox reduces wrinkles. The effect takes 3-5 days to appear and usually lasts 3-4 months.  

LipoDissolve

LipoDissolve is a treatment utilizing a combination of naturally occurring compounds administered through a series of micro-injections for the purpose of subcutaneous fat reduction. LipoDissolve injections reduce the size of localized fat deposits and cause skin retraction in body regions where treated. It is an excellent non-surgical alternative for those seeking minimally invasive techniques to improve body contour. It is not a treatment for weight reduction but rather a procedure for improving shape and reducing targeted fat.  
LipoDissolve consists of phosphatidylcholine (PPC) a naturally occurring substance within the body that comprises up to 60% of cell membranes, facilitates cell membrane transport, and is a component in bile that is responsible for emulsifying the fat we consume in our diet for absorption.  

Several injections are delivered in the treated area using a small gauge needle.
Most people experience only mild discomfort that is very tolerable. Common side-effects are a burning or stinging sensation that frequently lasts for up to an hour after the injections. Taking Tylenol before treatment can help minimize this. Some patients will notice bruising or discoloration that fades with time. All patients experience mild to significant localized swelling and redness in the treated area. This is normal and expected. The majority of the swelling will subside after 2-3 days. Occasionally, an itching sensation is described as the inflammation resolves, taking Benadryl can help alleviate this. Patients will notice the formation of slightly tender lumps or nodules under the skin, which is expected as the fat is dissolved. This reaction is temporary.

LipoDissolve is ideal for treating the lower eye pads, chin, jowls, cheeks, abdomen, upper/lower back upper arms, hips, thighs, knees, buttocks, and love handles. The frequency of your treatments will depend on the body area and how much fat needs to be dissolved. Typically patients return every 2-4 weeks for 4-6 treatments.

One of the advantages of LipoDissolve versus surgical alternatives is that it is minimally invasive and patients can typically return to normal activity immediately. While some tenderness and discomfort is to be expected, overall the treatments are very well tolerated. On the average, patients begin to see noticeable improvement after 2-4 sessions.

While many experience results sooner, we cannot guarantee this.
Often, we inform patients that for the first several weeks while the body’s inflammatory response is prominent, they will feel “bloated” in the treated area. This is expected and only temporary. Once the body begins metabolizing the fat, contour improvement occurs.

LipoDissolve has been proven in clinical studies and in more than 50,000 documented cosmetic treatments to be a permanent solution to fat, especially fat that seems to be resistant to diet and exercise. LipoDissolve is not a weight-loss program, but a body sculpting/shaping program. You will notice a difference more in inches than in pounds.

Sclerotherapy (Spider Veins)

Each year, millions of people seek treatment for unsightly spider veins. Spider veins are those small, red, blue or purple blood vessels that appear most frequently on the face and thighs.  During Sclerotherapy, a sclerosing solution is injected into the vein through a micro-needle, which causes the lining of the vein to become irritated and collapse. The vein is then dissolved by the body. A typical treatment may last for 15–20 minutes and consists of multiple injections. Depending on the size of the spider vein, treatment may require one to several treatment sessions. Patients return to their normal activity with minimal restrictions.  

Dermal Fillers

Juvederm is a long-lasting gel that once injected into the skin adds volume to the areas being treated. Similar to one of the body’s own natural substances (hyaluronic acid), it is a completely safe treatment that can restore the sensuality of your lips and shaping smooth contours in your face.  The effects of Juvederm usually last six to nine months and longer depending on the skin type and the area being treated.

Lipo B “The Weight Loss Shot”

The vitamin cocktail included in the B-12 and lipotropic shots are compounds that enhance liver function and increase the flow of fats and bile from the liver and gallbladder.

By definition, a lipotropic substance decreases the deposit, or speeds up the removal of fat within the liver.  The key amino acids used to make these shots are Vitamin B-12, Choline, Methione, Inositol and Myoden (AMP).

Glycolic Chemical Facial Peel

Glycolic Acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid used to rejuvenate the skin and create a younger and firmer appearance. It is the most popular peel for anti-aging. Glycolic Acid thoroughly exfoliates and stimulates new skin cell & collagen production, leaving skin feeling firmer and looking younger.

Glycolic acid is isolated from natural sources, such as sugarcane and pineapple. It has an excellent ability to penetrate the skin’s surface, dissolving away dead skin and revealing healthy new skin from underneath.
