There is no discomfort with our medical-grade microdermabrasion treatment. In fact, many clients find the treatment rather enjoyable! Learn more about our Medical-Grade Microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion is an intense exfoliation and cleansing of the skin. This process increases cell turnover which results in fresh glowing skin. It prepares the skin and enhances the penetration of skin care products into deeper layers of the skin. There is no discomfort with the ultrasound treatments. Our ultrasound treatments are actually more like the icing on the cake! These treatments follow all our microderm and AFT treatments to both relax, soothe and rehydrate the skin. It is the portion of the treatment experience most clients enjoy best! The ultrasound treatment heats and heals the tissue. Heat stimulates collagen growth which can soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The ultrasound waves penetrate our specially formulated ultrasound gel deeper into the skin where the cell functions, providing necessary nourishment that aids in repair/rejuvenation. Ultrasound waves stimulate skin activity levels, improves cellular renewal/repair, increases circulation and aids in lymph drainage. The treatment also includes electrical stimulation which enhances the beneficial effect of the ultrasound. It is referred to a mild fitness program for the face.

BOTOX Cosmetic is an FDA approved non-surgical injection that targets expression lines. It temporarily smoothes moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, forehead and around the eyes. BOTOX works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscles can no longer contract, which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften. It is most often used on forehead lines, crow's feet (lines around the eye) and frown lines. The results are apparent within several days and may last up to 4 months. However, results do vary with each individual and the severity of lines.
