Acne is a disorder of the
sebaceous gland that leads to chronic inflammatory disorder of the
pilosebaceous, characterized by the comedo, macules, papules,
pustules and (at times) cysts and scars.
There is no single cause for
acne-prone skin. Acne can be a genetic condition or can be caused by
many contributing factors:
hormonal fluctuations,
stress,
medications,
hot and humid climates,
cosmetic ingredients that
irritate skin and clog pores.
Acne is not a contagious disease.
Acne is a chronic skin disorder representing an abnormal process that
ends in a pathological condition.
Acne treatments should be done in
a series of 12 treatments minimum, each 1 week apart.
In
the treatment of acne, we adhere to the following principles:
remove,
rebuild,
protect,
maintain.
Hydradermaze,
Alkaline Wash,
The Ultrapeel II
microdermabrasion system,
Chemical peels,
Celluma Light Therapy.
The treatment is performed in an easy two step process. First, a topical photosensitizing agent called Levulan (5-aminolevulinic acid or ALA) is applied onto the skin and left on for about 30-60 minutes. Then, it is treated with Blu-U light for about 8-10 minutes in order to activate it. These treatments remove sun damaged pre-cancerous zones and actinic keratosis.

Nail fungus is a contagious
fungal infection caused by a microscopic organism.
In the majority of cases, the
first sign that something’s wrong is a small white or yellow spot
underneath your nail. As the infection progresses, additional nail
symptoms can arise, such as:
Distorted shape
Discoloration
Thickening
A bad smell
Discomfort or pain
The nails grow brittle, leaving
them more vulnerable to cracks where microscopic organisms can live.
The immune system also weakens, so it has a harder time fighting off
infections. These changes create a thriving environment for fungal
infections.
Once established, nail fungus is
notoriously difficult to treat because the organisms causing your
infection can penetrate deep inside your nail. Not only can they sit
on top of your nail or grow beneath it, but they can also get in
between the nail layers themselves.
Aerolase is a gentle yet
effective laser therapy system.
It penetrates deep into your nail
bed and matrix, where it administers targeted levels of heat to kill
your fungal infection. Unlike other nail fungus laser systems, this
advanced technology delivers 650-microsecond bursts of energy.
This innovative approach creates
a uniquely pain-free treatment session with fewer chances of
pigmentation changes in the treatment area. While Aerolase sessions
are comfortable, you may feel small amounts of heat or a slight
pinching sensation during your treatment.
To effectively eradicate nail
fungus, we often recommend three treatment sessions every 3-4 weeks.
But we evaluate each treatment plan on a case-by-case basis, given
the extent of your infection.
PRP (Platelets Rich Plasma) is a
highly concentrated sample of autologous platelets and growth factors
that may optimize the condition of healing.
The Bio Facial Skin Rejuvenation
treatment is an organic and minimally invasive procedure.
Blood is drawn and prepared using
the very unique Harvest System; the best process in the industry that
yields 4-6 times more platelets and growth factors. The concentrated
PRP is then injected into the face and naturally stimulates new blood
vessel formation, increases collagen production and restores lost
volume. After the injections, micro-needling and a cold collagen mask
are applied to the treatment area(s).
It is the system that quickly and
easily delivers the optimal concentration and composition of
Platelets Rich Plasma (PRP).
As a result, you receive a
beautiful glowing youthful appearance that lasts for months from a
process that takes only 1-2 hours to complete.
Body contouring is a type of cosmetic treatments that uses non-invasive methods to sculpt and shape your body. It´s a safe, comfortable, and convenient alternative to procedures like liposuction and tummy tucks.
Traditional cosmetic procedures like liposuction are highly invasive, expensive, and, worst of all, rather dangerous. Body contouring offers intelligent, non-invasive alternatives like laser lipo. It's safer, simpler, and far more affordable than going under the knife – and clinical studies have shown that it can be just as effective, too.
Botox is a neurotoxin drug
produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum that temporarily
paralyzes muscles. In aesthetic medicine is used to relax the facial
and neck muscles and to smooth out wrinkles.
Results can be typically seen
within the first few days but can take 1-2 weeks to fully develop.
Typical effects last
approximately 3-4 months. Injection of Botox causes temporary
weakness in the targeted muscles and can vary from person to person.
Yes, there are. Risks and side
effects may include, but are not limited to the following:
burning or stinging during
injection,
bruising,
redness,
swelling,
facial asymmetry,
droopy eyebrow, droopy eyelid.
Studies have shown that small injections of Botox do not circulate throughout the body and therefore do not impact an unborn baby. These studies, however, mostly focused on treatments done before pregnancy or during the very early stages. There is no research about the effects of Botox on a woman or her baby during the later part of pregnancy; therefore, in the name of caution, this procedure should be avoided while pregnant.
There is always a risk involved with any procedure. On the other hand, the techniques and the products we use at Vistoso Medical Spa have been chosen because of their negligible risk of complications. Because these products are temporary, we are able to tailor the treatments according to your preference in the short and long-term.
Yes. Both injections work great together, amplifying the results of the other as they actually work differently.
Botox relaxes the facial muscles to lessen the appearance of lines and wrinkles, while Fillers is injected in creases of the skin and give you a smooth plumping effect!
Botox® has been used for over 15 years to treat a variety of medical conditions. It is a purified protein that is administered via a few tiny injections into the muscles that cause those stubborn crow's feet, forehead lines, and "mad" lines between the eyebrows.
A person typically see results within 4 to 7 days. By one month, 90% of patients in a clinical study judged their wrinkles to show signifcant improvement.
Botox® treatments generally last 3 to 6 months. Just 2 to 3 treatments a year will help a person to maintain a more youthful, fresh, and well-rested appearance. With reapplication results tend to last longer.
Nearly 2.3 million people have had Botox, 14% are between the ages of 19 and 34 years old according to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. Some individuals in their twenties are incredibly expressive and have already developed deep frown or "mad" lines that can be softened or lessened with Botox® injections.
Cellulite is the skin with
dimpled surface and mattress-like appearance. Fat cells become much
more visible on the surface of the skin when the chambers, they are
situated in, become separated by vertical and horizontal fibers known
as Connective Tissue Septa.
The Septa are anchored rigid
fibers that do not stretch with skin. When the fat chamber expands
because of enlarged fat cells and retained intercellular fluid, it
protrudes beyond the length and width of the vertical &
horizontal septa, pushing up towards the surface of the skin,
resulting in a dimpled appearance.
Cellulite is found most commonly
on the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs. It is more common for
women to have cellulite rather than men because of the differences in
the way they develop and store muscle, fat, and connective tissue.
MBC's cellulite reduction program
is a combination of treatments performed over the course of eight
visits using the VelaShape™ Radio Frequency (RF) and Infrared (IR)
devices.
The VelaShape™ device is the
first FDA approved non-invasive device designed for the reduction of
cellulite. The VelaShape™ head is passed over the targeted area a
number of times, heating the area and disrupting the connective
tissue of the cellulitic area.
The results are minimization of
millions of fat cells, tightening, smoothing of the skin, and
slimming of the body. Ultimately, inches are shaved off the waist,
hips, and thighs.
Ideal candidates can be people
with cellulite who do not want to suffer the pain or go through risk
and recovery of liposuction. Additionally, post-liposuction patients
who wish to enhance or help catalyze the emergence of their new shape
would gain added benefits from the aforementioned procedures.
The cellulite reduction treatment
has very few risks (such as a slight chance of minor bruising),
complications or downtime. After your treatments are completed, you
can immediately resume your normal activities.
It is the only all-in-one
low-level light therapy device designed to manage a variety of pain
and skin conditions.
Cleared by the FDA for pain
management and skincare, Celluma uses light energy to improve
cellular health by accelerating the repair and replenishment of
compromised tissue cells.
While similar devices on the
market claim to do the same, they often require you to buy multiple
panels and accessories to treat specific conditions or accommodate
different parts of the body. Alternatively, Celluma offers a
convenient solution in a versatile, all-in-one system.

Celluma is designed to address a
multitude of skin and musculoskeletal conditions such as acne,
wrinkles, and pain conditions.
Treatment time varies depending on the type of treatment you are receiving and on the size of the area that will be treated. After assessing your skin, your skin therapist will be able to give you a detailed answer of your treatment plan.
There are several different types of peels to choose from, which is why an assessment will be done by your Skin Therapist during your FREE Skin Analysis. After assessing your skin your Skin Therapist will choose the right peel for you.
Almost any part of the body can be treated with a chemical peel. Clients often ask for peels on their face, neck, chest and hands.
The entire process lasts about 50 minutes, with very little discomfort. Most of the peels are very gentle, with no "downtime," and can even be scheduled during a lunch hour. There is minimal redness and mild flaking will occur 3-4 days after the procedure, depending upon the amount of sun exposure. These mild peels are based on natural acids derived from botanical and fruit sources in aloe-based formulas. Many patients state that even after just one treatment, there skin is glowing.A series of peels scheduled 2-3 weeks apart may be recommended if a patient is interested in:
• lightening hyperpigmented areas from sun exposure
• improving/smoothing texture of skin
• helping to clear-up acne prone skin
• maintaining an overall "glow" to complexion
This is a natural way of
eliminating waste products and toxins from the colon simply flushing
fecal matter out of the colon, using water, much like an enema but
much more effective, comfortable and purifying.
The colon becomes the repository
of accumulated waste and toxins, which disable the body’s
purification system. This autointoxication can create imbalances in
the body and may lead to weight gain and various health problems.
The colon is your “main drain”.
An unhealthy colon is thought to be the cause of 90% of all diseases,
which means proper care must be taken of it.
Take the test and find out how
toxic your body is. If you answered, “yes” to three or more of
these questions, it would be desirable for you to purify your system
of toxins.
Do you often feel tired or
fatigued?
Do you suffer from chronic yeast
infections and Candida?
Do you experience headaches?
Do you use coffee, cigarettes or
soda?
Do you eat fast, fatty,
processed or fried foods?
Do you experience intestinal gas
and bloating or constipation?
Do you experience general aches
and pains or arthritis?
Do you have food allergies or
skin problems?
Do you often crave sweets or
food?
Do you rarely exercise or feel
sluggish or overweight?
Do you experience poor memory or
loss of concentration?
Do you have a prostate problem?
Colon Hydrotherapy is not a cure,
but it is a valuable procedure to assist your body to remove toxic
materials, so it can no longer harm your body. Fecal debris built up
over a long period is gently removed over a series of irrigations.
Once this impacted material is removed, your colon can again begin
its normal elimination function.

It is a safe, natural cosmetic filler that is made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occuring substance present in body that provides volume and fullness to the skin.
Dermal Filler has been used by physicians worldwide since 1996 and was FDA approved in 2003. Dermal Filler is completely biocompatible and therefore allergy testing is not required; allergy testing is necessary for collagen injections. After your treatment you might have mild redness and swelling, lasting no more than 5 to 7 days.
Dermal Fillers has proven to deliver long-lasting results, ranging from 6 to 16 months. Having a touch-up treatment before the area has fully dissipated may enhance the duration of the Dermal Filler administered areas.
No. Hyaluronic acid Dermal Fillers gradually metabolize over the course of several months leaving the treated area looking as it did prior to being treated with Dermal Filler.
This is a concern for many women, as very few people want to look like Goldie Hawn's character in the movie, "First Wives Club." Most women just want to have the natural fullness of their lips that they had in their youth. With Dermal Filler, we can outline the border of the lips which tends to shrink over the years. Perioral lines (lipstick lines) are minimized or erased with this procedure and once again, it's fun to wear lipstick.
Dermal Filler is a natural, non-animal cosmetic filler, whereas Botox® is a drug that blocks nerve transmission and relaxes the underlying muscle. Many patients are very happy with the combination therapy of Botox® for the upper facial wrinkles (crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown/mad lines) and Dermal Filler to fill in the wrinkles/folds of the lower face, as well as lip enhancement.
Dysport
is a simple, effective, nonsurgical treatment that works by relaxing
facial muscles, thereby reducing and smoothing away frown lines and
wrinkles. Dysport, like Botox Cosmetic®, is a protein extracted from
the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum.
Dysport
is an FDA-approved; prescription injection used for the treatment of
moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows in adults under
65.
Both Botox and Dysport are the
type A Botulinum approved by the FDA that is used to treat facial and
neck wrinkles. The main difference is that different companies
produce them.
By destroying the hair follicle
at the root level, ELOS Hair Removal makes re-growth impossible.
The most problematic areas
including the upper lip, cheeks, chin, arms, shoulders, bikini area,
stomach, legs, back, chest, neck, and buttocks can be treated with
ELOS Hair Removal.
By utilizing radiofrequency and
laser energy while actively cooling the surface of the skin, Miami
Beauty Clinic (MBC) can achieve a hair removal process that is
virtually painless.
Normal hair growth occurs in 3
phases:
Anagen phase (active growth)
Catagen phase (transition)
Telogen phase (resting)
To guarantee the complete removal
of the hair, it must be treated in the Anagen phase. If the hair is
treated in one of the other phases there is a chance the hair will
continue coming back.
ELOS PhotoFacial is the leading
non-surgical procedure for treating aged, damaged and afflicted skin
and has been the most utilized method for well over a decade now.
The combined bipolar Radio
Frequency (RF) and Intensive Pulse Light (IPL) energies of ELOS
technology erase dark spots, sun damage, broken capillaries, and
other facial pigment issues, as well as stimulates collagen
production improving the texture of the skin, leaving it more
luminous and toned.
ELOS PhotoFacials are perfectly
safe for any part of the body but are most commonly applied to the
face, neck, and chest. Occasionally the process is applied to other
areas, such as the hands, arms, legs, and back.
ELOS PhotoFacial skin color
correction is a safe and effective procedure powered by intense
pulsed light and bipolar radio frequency energy.
ELOS PhotoFacial skin color
correction procedure can be used to treat a variety of skin
conditions. It is typically used on the face, neck, and chest to
treat facial redness and flushing. It also helps remedy the damage
caused by sun overexposure. ELOS PhotoFacial can also help eliminate
the redness and flushing of rosacea.
Our patients will first see a
gradual decrease in redness. The treated skin will feel softer and
vary less in tone. Fine lines and wrinkles will also improve, along
with fading of pigmentation and age spots as well as a reduction in
pore size.
There are no major side effects
from the typical ELOS PhotoFacial treatment. However, your skin may
appear slightly red or warm for a few hours after the treatment,
similar to mild sunburn. The procedure is non-invasive and there is
no downtime. Makeup can be applied to the face and you may return to
your regular activities immediately after treatment.
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation
Technology (EPAT®) is the most advanced and highly effective
non-invasive treatment method cleared by the FDA.
This proprietary technology is
based on a unique set of pressure waves that stimulate the
metabolism, enhance blood circulation and accelerate the healing
process.
Clinically proven
Non-invasive
No anesthesia required
No risk of infection
No scarring
No downtime
Over 80% patient satisfaction
Cost-effective
Faster and easier healing
Lessening the appearance of
dimples and bumps associated with cellulite
Diminishing skin imperfections
Improving blood circulation and
lymph flow
Improving muscle and skin tone
Restoring the skin's elasticity
Acute or chronic musculoskeletal
pain and/or pain that significantly impairs mobility or quality of
life as well as a broad range of common connective tissue disorders
and other degenerative problems can be treated with EPAT®.
EPAT, also known as
Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is an FDA approved, highly
effective, non-surgical treatment for acute and chronic
heel pain. It is typically used to treat the pain associated with
heel spurs, Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis and other
conditions.
The break-down of scar
tissue is the key to why shock wave therapy is so
effective. By increasing circulation and breaking down scar
tissue, shockwave therapy will stimulate cell regeneration
and promote normal healing and rapid reduction of pain. The normal
function can then be restored.
Yes, LipoSonix Ultrasound treatment/fat reduction treatment is very safe. The treatment has been studied for more than a decade with research and testing behind its development.
The LipoSonix system delivers high intensity focused ultrasound energy that can disrupt subcutaneous adipose tissue to provide a non-invasive approach to body contouring. The body naturally removes the treated fat, leaving you with a thinner, more contoured waistline.
Results come in about 12 weeks from the actual treatment. On average, it can be expected to lose one clothing size, waistline reduction one inch or two centimeters. LipoSonix's logo is: 1 treatment, 1 hour, 1 size smaller.
PRP Hair Restoration Therapy uses
the body's reparative abilities to stimulate and rejuvenate the hair
production and growth process.
The process is the following:
A small amount of blood is taken
from the patient to produce the hair follicle stimulating
platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
The scalp is prepped with a
thorough cleansing
Active PRP is injected via
syringe and applied topically by a derma roller that provides local
stimulation of the scalp
Derma roller creates microscopic
channels that allow the PRP to penetrate deep into the skin on the
scalp where it stimulates the growth of hair follicles and creates
new blood vessels
There are no negative side
effects associated with the treatment. Normal activities can be
resumed immediately.
Applied PRP treatments
significantly accelerate hair growth; hair grows thicker and taller
than hair in untreated areas.
It is a series of Intense Pulsed Light treatments that improve the texture, decrease redness and broken capillaries, and lighten dark spots on the skin. Patients have also noticed that their pores are tighter and fine lines dissipate after treatment.
Treatments usually range from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the size and number of the pigmented lesions.
Cutera IPL 560 laser produces energy that is absorbed by cells containing excessive concentration of pigment: browns, reds and deeper collagen tissue. Think of how black light absorbs heat very well and white light reflects it. This absorbed energy stimulates your body to eliminate the unwanted excessive pigment while having little or no effect on other tissues or on normal skin color. After treatment, the body's healing mechanisms take over and sloughs the browns, absorb the reds and thicken the collagen tissue.
The number of treatments depends on the size and severity of the condition, but the average is about five, with one treatment every 2-4 weeks. Patients with brown or pigmented skin will notice a significant change after two treatments. Patients with reds or flushing will notice a significant change after 3-4 treatments. The final 2-3 treatments will continue to improve the colour, texture and pore size of the skin.
Juvederm is an injectable dermal
filler that is used by dermatologists, cosmetologists and plastic
surgeons to fill wrinkles and lines in the face. It uses a substance,
which is already found in the human skin tissue, called hyaluronic
acid.
Juvederm is used in the deep
folds in the face and the laugh lines around the mouth and nose as
well as in cheek and lip areas.
Unlike Botox or Dysport, Juvederm
fills the wrinkles and lines at the dermis layer of the skin. The
skin cells are stretched out because of the Hyaluronic acid, which is
what creates new collagen and reduces the look of creases and
wrinkles.
Juvederm is free of any major
side effects, however, some side effects are normal to this
experience:
redness,
bruising,
soreness,
slight bleeding.
The procedure will need to be
repeated after a few months when the Hyaluronic acid is absorbed by
the body.
The amount of Juvederm injections
you may need will depend on the number of wrinkles being treated and
the depth of each wrinkle.
Yes, the procedure is safe when performed by skilled professionals and with the proper equipment. The laser emits light energy that specifically targets the hair follicle. It eliminates the hair while the surrounding skin remains unharmed. At Advanced Laser we only use lasers approved by Health Canada.
The most common sensation felt during the procedure is a small pinch, like a rubber band is being snapped against your skin. The feeling only lasts a few seconds and generally stops when the laser does. Our cooling equipment and lasers with large spot sizes help to minimize discomfort.
Lasers will permanently reduce the amount of hair growth. Some areas of the body will experience permanent removal of hair while other areas may need some maintenance from time to time. After each visit, hair growth will be further reduced and you will require fewer sessions.
The number of treatments you will require depends on area to be treated. Legs, bikini, under-arms could take 6 treatments. Other more hormonal areas could require 8 treatments. They are usually spaced 4-6 weeks apart to effectively reduce hair growth.
The most important thing to do before your first treatment is to stop waxing or plucking 3 weeks prior to your appointment. Also, for best results, you will want to make sure you are applying sunscreen throughout the course of the treatments to avoid any hypersensitivity to your skin.
Seriously, anywhere. Our machine can cover large places fast. Legs, back, underarms, bikini line, stomach, face…There is no limit to the places you can get laser hair removal.
There is no evidence that laser hair removal causes infertility. The lasers only penetrate the skin level to where the hair root lies and do not reach or affect any other organs. Laser hair removal is safe, even in sensitive areas such as the groin.
There has been little if any research done on the effect of Laser hair Removal procedures and the unborn baby. Because of this, doctors generally recommend that women stay away from the procedure for the nine months of their pregnancy, and instead opt to have the treatment performed at a later time.
Just about all areas, with the exception being near the eyes. Legs, underarms, backs, face, neck, bikini lines, etc. can all be treated with laser hair removal.
Patients describe it as quick and easy with the sensation of a warm rubberband "snapping" on the treated area.
Most people will see very satisfactory hair clearance after 3-6 sessions. These are generally spaced 4-6 weeks apart, or whenever new hair growth is first noticed by the patient.
Each treatment will result in less hair growing back, as well as the hair progressively becoming finer and lighter in color.
No, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you must wait until you are finished in order to start treatment.
No, unlike methods for tattoo removal of the past, such as surgery, we use a light-based technology treatment that only takes a few visits to visibly and painlessly remove your tattoo.
Laser-based cosmetic technology has been around for decades, but it has only recently been approved by the FDA for the purposes of fat reduction and cellulite removal.
Yes, Laser vein treatments can be done in the summer, however, there is a small chance of bruising in the leg area which may last for a week so. You may want to plan to do laser vein treatment after summer or during winter.
Genetic predisposition plays a big role as well as; lifestyle, long standing, high heels etc. Usually some maintenance with Laser vein treatment is needed and it can vary from one to a few years.
Face and leg laser vein treatment is different because most patients have small broken capillaries on the face that are much easier to treat, less discomfort, less down time and longer lasting results.
Lipodissolve treatment is an
innovative fat burning therapy based on lipolysis that is simple and
effective at diminishing cellulite and excess weight.
The effects of Lipodissolve
treatment are driven by lipolysis, a process that results in the
cleavage of one molecule of triglycerol (the substance that makes up
a fat cell) into three molecules of fatty acid and one molecule of
glycerol. This splitting occurs with the help of injections, which,
upon entering the fatty tissue, causes the release of fat from the
adipocytes.
After just one session of
lipolytic mesotherapy with Lipodissolve, you can get rid of
unwanted local fatty deposits, cellulite, and flabby skin. After the
third session, you will notice that the injection areas are
decreased, local accumulations of adipose tissue in problem areas
have disappeared and the skin in the treated areas has become
smoother and elastic.
no need for anesthesia,
simple, effective, and painless,
dissolves and destroys fat

removes fat deposits in parts of
the body that cannot be reduced with physical exercise or diet,
guarantees a safe treatment.
chin area,
fat deposits in the abdomen as
well as lateral folds,

knees.
This massage technique is
effective for the treatment of cellulite (“orange peel skin”),
reduction of edema pre/post liposuction surgery, digestive problems,
hormonal imbalances, relief of leg swelling and pain associated with
venous insufficiency, obesity, relief of muscular pain, and stress
reduction.
The process of the Lymphatic
Drainage employs
the use of a specially engineered garment/suit/trouser designed to
apply pressure to targeted areas of the body with the use of
compressed air.
It reduces swelling in the body,
pushing excess and unwanted fluid to the various lymphatic drainage
points in the body. Another great benefit of this pressure-controlled
massage is that it activates the body's natural receptor cells which
are responsible for the breakdown of fat.
This procedure is very effective
for varicose veins. Selecting this method at the initial stage of the
development of the varicose disease can prevent the appearance of the
disease and reduce the likelihood of the need for surgery in the
future.
The effects can last for years.
The more procedures a patient undergoes, the more noticeable the
result.
The Ballancer® is a highly
effective pneumatic lymphatic drainage massage device that operates
at pressures up to 80 mm Hg.
Use of the Ballancer is not
recommended in the presence of the following conditions:
Any pain or numbness
Severe arteriosclerosis or other
ischemic vascular diseases
Unbalanced cardiac insufficiency
Known or suspected deep vein
thrombosis or thrombophlebitis
Gangrene
Dermatitis
Untreated or infected wounds
Severe inflammation of the skin
Recent skin grafts
Fractional Rejuvenation with the
Matrix IR is a non-invasive treatment that eliminates the appearance
of wrinkles.
The device is built around a
fractional laser. When the laser and radio energy beams penetrate the
skin, they allow the technician to change and remodel existing
collagen fibers. The surrounding un-remodeled tissue becomes gently
heated which triggers heat reservoirs that accelerate the healing
process creating new collagen and smoothing out wrinkles and fine
lines.
Treatment of wrinkles
with the Matrix IR applicator can improve the texture of aging skin
reducing the appearance of deep wrinkles (especially above the lips
and chin area), pores, and scars. The treatment smoothens and
tightens the skin as a part of reducing the number of wrinkles.
Laser skin
rejuvenation using Matrix IR has a long-term effect. Results appear
gradually, instant effects of improvement can be observed after each
procedure; however, there has been a maximum duration of effect 3 - 6
months after treatment.
Although the system is suitable
for all skin types, it is recommended to use the Matrix IR applicator
for skin types I - V.
Our Diamond Peel Medical Microdermabrasion machine safely improves sun-damaged skin, fine wrinkles, mild acne, and provides healthy exfoliation. It is safe for all skin types and polishes away dead skin layers to expose healthier skin and promote new cell turnover.
The entire procedure takes about 30 minutes and has no recovery period. Patients can return to work immediately and can even schedule this during their lunch hour.
We do not use any Aluminum-Oxide, Sodium Bicarbonate or organic crystals that may potentially be inhaled or cause corneal abrasions. Our Diamond Wand tip is embedded with natural diamond chips and an adjustable vacuum allows for a controlled abrasion. Due to the fact there are no crystals being propelled onto the skin, this allow us to treat areas closer to the eyes, as well as the fine lines and wrinkles surrounding the lips.
It is a non-ablative,
non-surgical skin-tightening procedure. The deeper parts of the skin
are treated without removing the top layer of skin, creating
controlled injury underneath the skin's surface, thereby stimulating
the formation of new tissue layers of elastin and collagen fibers.
Skin microneedling is used for
treating various skin conditions such as fine lines and wrinkles,
light scarring from acne and photo damage, skin striae and others.
Anesthesia is generally not
needed for skin needling, but to reduce sensitivity before the
procedure we apply Ice Mask™ and once the skin needling procedure
is complete we apply a Purigenex Collagen mask to boost the skin's
own collagen integrity.
There is no downtime whatsoever
using our protocol of the skin needling. You may return to your
social activities right after the procedure looking plumper,
smoother, suppler, and more youthful.
Microneedling
is a cosmetic procedure, that primarily used to minimize the signs of aging.
During a standard session, your Nurse Practitioner or Medical Aesthetician uses
a special device with needles to prick the skin and stimulate new collagen
production. Because of this, Microneedling is also known as collagen induction
therapy. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections can be added to the session for
an additional cost. Microneedling with PRP is said to create more tightness in
the skin and speed the healing process alone.
Traditional
Microneedling is used to treat everything from age spots and wrinkles and other
forms of hyperpigmentation. PRP injections may boost these effects and achieve
your desired results faster. Although Microneedling can be used to treat scars
and stretch marks on other areas of the body.
Before –
Arrive 30 minutes prior to your appointment time, to fill out any paper work
and for numbing cream to be applied to area that is being treated.
During – Your Nurse Practitioner or
Medical Aesthetician will apply a professional-grade device to your face and
move it in sweeping or circular motions. A syringe of blood will be drawn,
usually from your arm while your face is numbing. The blood is then put into a centrifuge,
which separates the PRP from the blood. The PRP solution is then massaged into
the treatment area either during or after microneedling. The microneedling
treatment opens channels into the skin, allowing for good penetration of the
PRP. In the past, PRP has been injected into the skin, but it’s becoming more
of a common practice to use it along with microneedling. .
After – Once the Procedure is
finished, your Nurse or Medical Aesthetician will apply a Hyaluronic Acid Serum
to soothe any redness, dryness and irritation. They may also use a portion of
the blood drawn known as platelet-poor plasma.
Bruises
and inflammation are the most common side effects. They typically appear
immediately after the procedure, and clear within four to five days. You will
want to avoid sun exposure and harsh skin treatments during this time.
Using PRP alongside-traditional microneeding treatments results in smoother, firmer skin. But as with other microneedling procedures, these results won’t last forever. After you finish your course of treatment, you will need to follow up once a year for potential maintenance. You may able to extend your results of treatments by:
• avoiding direct sun exposure,
• wearing sunscreen everyday
• cleansing skin with a gentle cream (exfoliants may irritate your skin after receiving this procedure)
• moisturizing your skin properly
• avoiding picking or scratching your face
Micro-needling can be safely repeated every 6 weeks for a maximum of 3 sessions then your skin therapist will advise you on a maintenance plan. Collagen Induction Therapy requires at least 3 treatments, for visible acne scar reduction, pigmentation, wrinkle reduction, and trauma scar reduction. Micro-needling can be used on all parts of the body. Results begin to appear 4-5 weeks after the first treatment.
The known benefits of Medical Microneedling include: cell regeneration, increase growth factors in cells, increased cell to cell communication functions, high stimulation of fibroblast, greatly improves topical cream effectiveness and penetration, stimulates blood circulation, needles are non-allergenic, cost effective compared to other resurfacing procedures, works on all skin types, and can treat the scalp, face, and body, including skin around the eyes, mouth and neck.
Generally 3-4 laser treatments are needed to treat Onychomycosis/nail fungus. However, if the fungus has been present for a long time and the nail becomes very thick, it can take even more treatments.
Results for Onychomycosis/nail fungus are not permanent and patients need to stay on some kind of maintenance treatments depending on their initial results. Initial Laser treatments give about 70-90% improvement.
No, there is nothing better than YAG 1964 nm laser treatment that gives 70-90% results for Onychomycosis/nail fungus. Topical treatments over a period of time can improve the condition for about 10%, prescription oral medication Lamisil can improve it for about 50% but regular medical tests needs to be done while staying on Lamisil.
Growth factors stimulate tissue
generation and repair. They are responsible for soft tissue repair,
bone regeneration, development of new blood vessels, and stimulation
of the wound healing process.
Tapping into the natural healing
processes of the body, PRP Therapy extracts growth factors found in
your blood and applies them to poorly healing areas.
PRP Therapy is a quick
out-patient process that, from start to finish, does not take longer
than an hour.
Your blood is drawn, processed
and separated (using the Harvest System) at which point the
platelet-rich fraction is injected into the injured site. The
concentration of PRP goes naturally to work, doing what it was
designed to do; heal itself.
It is used to treat the following
conditions:
Osteoarthritis of the knee,
shoulder, hip, and spine
Rotator cuff tears
Chronic plantar fasciitis
Back and neck injuries
Tennis elbow
Ankle sprains
Tendinitis
Ligament sprains
Radiesse is one of the
longest-lasting, natural collagen-producing treatments on the market
used for filling in those unwanted deep wrinkles and fine lines on
the face.
Radiesse is most ideal for
treating the damage of deep facial creases and scarring. FDA
approved, Radiesse is also one of the most effective reparative
fillers for facial lipoatrophy - a side-effect of HIV - because of
its ability to effectively and naturally augment the cheeks, chin and
other afflicted areas of the face.
Radiesse is injected beneath the
surface of the skin with an ultrafine needle followed by a topical
anesthetic to alleviate any discomfort the patient may experience.
Results typically last about a
year before follow-up treatments are needed.
Results appear immediately after
treatment. However, over the next few days and weeks increased
improvements will be noticeable due to the natural stimulation and
production of collagen in the injected area.
Swelling or bruising at the site
of injection can sometimes occur as a result of using Radiesse, but
typically these side effects go away within a couple of days.
Restylane is a FDA approved
biodegradable hyaluronic acid. It has been used for more than a
decade and is the world's most studied cosmetic dermal filler.
Restylane is used for correcting
facial wrinkles and folds such as lines from the corners of your
mouth to your nose. Also, Restylane can be used for filling any
age-related facial hollows.
Restylane adds volume inside the
skin. The hyaluronic acid is a natural substance in your skin;
Restylane helps provide fullness and elasticity as the skin naturally
loses its hyaluronic acid creating wrinkles and folds.
Restylane injections have
long-lasting effects. For example, the Restylane lip enhancement
treatment can last 6 months or even more, giving your lips fuller and
fresher look for over 180 days.
Side effects you may experience
from Restylane are the following:
flu-like symptoms,
nausea,
headache,
redness,
pain in the area of injection.
You may experience some side
effects such as pain, bruising, swelling, redness, and tenderness
after your treatment is complete, but these side effects shouldn't
last for more than 7 days.
A Laser genesis treatment does not have any down time. The skin feels warm during treatment and can get slightly pink, however, by the time the treatment is over, the skin is back to normal.
Laser genesis is a great treatment for; Rosacea skin, help to diffused redness, improve large pore size and uneven texture of the skin. This treatment is often combined with Intense Pulsed Light laser (IPL) to get an even better result.
Rosacea is a very common skin condition and often is genetic. Rosacea is easily triggered by; cold, wind, hot, sun, food/drinks, some ingredients in skin care products etc. Since we do not know what causes Rosacea we can only keep it under control so it does not progress in a stage where the skin appears as an acne skin & with big change in texture and local swelling.
Absolutely. Since Rx Lipo is non-invasive, there´s none of the risks of surgery. Most people report feeling a gentle warmth where the treatment pads make contact with the skin.
A treatment with Rx Lipo generally takes just twenty minutes. And since the i-Lipo is entirely non-invasive, there´s no recovery time – so just twenty minutes and you can carry on as you normally would.
Not at all. As a matter of fact, it´s highly recommended that you partake in exercise after a treatment with Rx Lipo – this way your lymphatic system has an immediate opportunity to drain all the broken down fat cells resulting from your Rx Lipo treatment.
You can see results from the Rx Lipo immediately after your first treatment, with many patients reporting a loss of up to two inches off their waist. Results are especially pronounced after a full course of eight treatments.
Of course – provided that you maintain a stable diet and stay in regular physical activity.
The Rx Lipo uses low-level lasers to stimulate a natural response in the body that breaks down fat cells into a form that is readily available for energy consumption.
Sculptra progressively replaces your lost collagen; results appear naturally so your friends and family will probably be unaware that you are undergoing treatments. Sculptra's results are longer lasting, about 2 years. The result is a fuller, youthful and natural-looking face.
Poly-L-lactic acid naturally stimulates the body to produce its own collagen. It works within the deep layers of the skin and as collagen is built, it provides a foundation that gradually restores the look of fullness by correcting skin creases, wrinkles, folds, scars as well as large volume corrections.
Sculptra is an injectable facial material that is derived from fruit acid also known as poly-L- lactic acid. It is biocompatible (does not harm the body) and is biodegradable (metabolized by the body).
Sculptra is
an anti-aging facial injection treatment that replaces lost collagen
and creates subtle results over time.
Sculptra is injected below the
surface of the skin in the area of fat loss. It
adds volume to areas of the face, creating a natural, more youthful
appearance. Sculptra stimulates the natural production of your
collagen while it gradually disappears.
No, Sculptra takes time to
gradually correct the depression in your skin.
Your Certified Aesthetic
Consultant will decide the appropriate number of treatment sessions
and the amount of Sculptra you will need at each session. Typically,
patients with severe facial fat loss may require 3 to 6 treatment
sessions.
It will last up to 2 years.
However, one treatment a year is strongly recommended for maintaining
the results.
Each treatment costs
approximately $600-$2,000 depending on your age and amount of
correction needed. On average, the procedure includes 2-3 treatments
about 6-10 weeks apart for the initial “repair” series.
No,
it is not painful. There is little discomfort with the injections
because Sculptra is mixed with lidocaine, a local anesthetic. Most
clinics also apply a topical numbing cream about 45 minutes before
the treatment.
There is almost undetectable
fullness (from the water in the product) for about two days after the
treatment. A little bruising is normal, but it's usually minimal. You
may have mild to moderate swelling at the injection sites which could
last up to a week.
After the treatment, some common
injection-related reactions might occur, such as:
swelling,
bruising,
redness,
tenderness,
itching,
discoloration at the injection
site.
Occasionally,
treatment can trigger an acne flare.
These
side effects resolve naturally within 1 to 14 days after the
treatment.
The ST applicator combines energy of Infra Red light and bipolar RF. The
best part of this energy combination is that it’s blind to skin
color meaning that this treatment can be used on any skin color for
skin tightening. Also, it eliminates wrinkles by activating and
restoring the metabolic processes in all layers of skin and
connective tissue, reviving the natural production of collagen and
elastin creating fa acelift effect.
You will see unprecedented
lifting, anti-aging effects, and restoration of a youthful shape to
the face - all without surgery or rehabilitation.
Yes, there are some:
Allergies to the sun or light
sensitivity
Malignant tumors or a
precancerous skin condition
Receiving retinoids within six
months before the procedure
The presence of keloids in the
processing
Any infection that results in a
skin abnormality or abrasion (e.g., herpes)
Any bleeding disorders or
thromboembolic condition
Cardiovascular
issues/abnormalities
A pacemaker
Diabetes
Self-tanned skin (the
application of self-tanning creams)
The procedure is not recommended
during pregnancy
Nickel allergy, as the
electrodes of the device are nickel-plated
Side effects may include minor
discomfort, mild pain, slight burning sensation and reddening of the
skin. Usually, these feelings are tolerant and do not require
painkillers.
Yes, there are:
Avoid prolonged exposure to the
sun for about 2-3 weeks before the treatment
Avoid heating the skin - do not
visit a bath, sauna or solarium for 72 hours before the procedure
During the two weeks before and
after treatment, try to avoid any mechanical and chemical irritation
of the skin.
The people who are starting to
see some droopiness of the brow, cheeks, jowls, and neck are the
ideal candidates for this procedure. They would like to see a lifting
effect, but do not want the risk, scars, or recovery of a real
browlift, facelift, or neck lift operation.
Thread Facelift treatment may
show amazing results compared to what a real invasive surgical
procedure can deliver.
Yes, it can be combined with
other, more minor, surgical procedures such as Botox, Injectable
Fillers, etc.
The TRINITI laser facelift is a
three-step, non-surgical process that combines three of the most
effective treatments in the industry. By integrating FotoFacial,
Refirme, and Matrix IR we can target
color correction, skin tightening and wrinkle reduction all in one
visit.
TRINITI's Elōs™
(Electro Optical Synergy)
is the first and only technology that simultaneously harnesses the
power of bipolar radio frequency (RF) and optical energy. This
revolutionary technology platform effectively outperforms the safety
and procedural limitations of basic intense pulse light (IPL),
conventional lasers, and RF.
TRINITI's
unique Elōs™ technology stimulates the natural formation of
collagen, which then begins to rebuild skin structure resulting in
the rejuvenation and tightening of the skin. It is the only
non-surgical procedure, through which non-surgical facelift can be
achieved.
The effects
of TRINITI can last upwards of 3 or more years if results are
supported and maintained. For maximum results, we recommended a
program of at least 3 treatments, each separated with a resting
period of 3 weeks.
Non-Surgical Facial rejuvenation
can be performed at any age after 30 but the optimal age for this and
any other non-surgical procedures is 35-55 years. After
55 years the program should include more than 3 treatments depending
on the skin condition.
There´s no recovery period whatsoever given the non-invasive nature of the Venus. Just a quick thirty minute treatment and you´re on your way.
The Venus Freeze utilizes a combination of Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Magnetic Fields and brings them together into a single device. This causes a thermal reaction in the skin which in turn stimulates the body´s natural healing response, which leads to the formation of new collagen and elastin fibers. The contraction of this new collagen causes the skin to look and feel firmer, and the unraveling of elastin fibres leads to younger, more elastic appearing skin. This makes the Venus perfect for skin tightening, cellulite reduction, and wrinkle reduction.
Absolutely! The Venus is completely non-invasive, meaning no surgery and no going under the knife. The use of pulsed magnetic fields and radio frequency also eliminates the risk of laser burns, as well.
Not at all. On the contrary, many people report that they find treatments with the Venus Freeze to be very soothing and relaxing – comparable to something like a hot stone massage.
The Venus Freeze is a machine that uses pulsed magnetic fields and radio frequency to heat the skin without the risk of burns that one would associate with lasers. A treatment with the Venus heats collagen fibers in the body, which results in skin tightening.
The Vita-Life R-System is a
device for magnetic resonance stimulation.
It generates a low frequency
pulsating electromagnetic field. The intensity is kept low on
intention and thus similar to the intensity of the earth's natural
magnetic field. The applied magnetic fields can improve your cell
metabolism and therefore contribute to your vitality and well-being.
Dysfunctional cell metabolism
disturbs the bodily functions
The cell is no longer capable of
disposing of waste products
You start to feel tired, weak
and powerless
