WRINKLE REDUCTION AND ACNE SCAR IMPROVEMENT

WRINKLE REDUCTION AND ACNE SCAR IMPROVEMENT

We are using the newest fractional technology to significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and acne scarring. The Palomar 1540 fractional technology produces thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatmens in your skin, known as microthermal treatment zones. This is done with limited discomfort to the patient as the Palomar 1540 utilizes patented cooling. Just as important as the treated areas are the areas of skin that are left untouched. The fractional treatment allows the skin to heal much faster than if the entire area was treated at once, using the body's natural healing process to create new, healthy tissue. For a limited time we are offering a special promotion utilizing the fractional technology!

We are now offering skin tightening with minimal discomfort. Introducing the LUXIR laser that sends infrared light pulses deep into the dermis, where it creates a carefully controlled area of elevated temperature. This technology has been shown to trigger a biological response which leads to collagen remodeling in the deep dermis. Remodeled collagen can smooth out fine wrinkles and tighten sagging skin.

Hyperhidrosis is a disorder characterized by excessive sweating that occurs in up to 1% of the population.  The excessive sweating can occur in the hands, in the armpits, or in the feet.  Although nobody understands the exact cause of this excessive sweating in specific individuals, it is known that the sweating is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system. 

Patients with hyperhidrosis have excessive sweating that hampers their activities of daily living.  It is sometimes brought on by stress, emotion, or exercise, but can also occur spontaneously. 

Can Botox Treatment Help Those With Hyperhidrosis?
Botox is FDA-approved for severe underarm sweating when topical agents don't work.  Botox helps control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands.  When the sweat glands don't receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops. 

What is Treatment with Botox Like?
The procedure is relatively straightforward.  A small volume of Botox solution is injected into the affected underarm area through a very fine needle.  The needle is placed just under the skin, so you may experience some injection-related discomfort.  You will receive multiple injections based on your doctor's assessment of the area that needs to be treated. 

What Should I Expect After I Have Received Botox?
You should notice a significant reduction in underarm sweating within four weeks of your first treatment.  There is a possibility that some sweat glands may be missed, and you may continue to experience some sweating from untreated areas.  If you do not see a significant reduction in sweating, you should follow up with the doctor. 

How Long Does a Botox Treatment Last?
In a recent clinical study, the median duration of response in Botox patients was 201 days or 6.7 months.  It is not a cure; your symptoms will return gradually, and you will know when the time is right for another treatment.
