Types of Skin Care Treatment
Hydroquinone Fade Cream
Hydroquinone cream is a skin bleaching agent that works by inhibiting an enzyme reaction in skin cells. It is used for lightening age spots and other skin discolorations. You can buy strengths of up to 2% hydroquinone over the counter. Our custom blend contains 7% hydroquinone, 0.0375% retinoid acid and 0.5% hydrocortisone cream. The doctor will be able to advise you on whether this cream is appropriate for your skin.
Latisse
Are your lashes thinning over time? Latisse (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution)0.03% grows lashes longer, darker, and fuller. Eyelashes grow in a cycle, over several months. Although researchers don’t know exactly how Latisse works, its believed to increase the percentage of hairs in the active growth phase, as well as make the active growth phase longer. While you may start seeing longer lashes after 4 weeks, you must use Latisse daily for 16 weeks for maximum results. Common side effects are itchy and red eyes.
Xeomin
Xeomin is another product used intramuscularly to temporarily improve the appearance of wrinkles such as frown lines. The active ingredient in Xeomin, botulinum toxin type A, acts on nerve endings in the muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. During treatment which usually takes 10-20 minutes, the doctor will inject Xeomin into the muscles of concern. No anesthesia is required. You may observe results in as little as 4 days although the median first onset of effect is about a week. The maximum effect occurs at 30 days with typical duration of effect to be up to 3 to 4 months.
Belotero
Belotero Balance Dermal Filler is a resorbable hyaluronic-acid-based dermal filler approved by the FDA for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as the nasolabial folds. Hyaluronic acid naturally exists as a component of the skin. By binding to water, it fills in wrinkles and folds, allowing immediate and smooth correction. BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler has unique properties that allow it to adapt within the skin for soft and even correction. The versatility of the product makes it strong enough to handle deep treatment areas such as nasolabial folds (smile lines around the mouth), yet soft enough to treat more delicate areas such as vertical lip lines(thin lines that appear above the lip line).
Voluma
Is volume loss in the cheeks making you look older? Volume loss in the cheeks is a major reason we lose that youthful profile over the years. Juvederm Voluma XC is injected under the skin with a small needle and works instantly to add volume and subtly lift the cheek area, temporarily reversing the signs of aging for up to 2 years. To reduce pain during the procedure Juvederm Voluma XC contains a numbing agent called lidocaine.
