Skin Tightening Smoother Firmer Skin with Proven Technologies

On Looking Older

"I've noticed lots of little changes, and a few bigger ones; my eyes are looking smaller, my jawline has gotten soft, and my skin in general is losing its bounce...

Do I worry about aging? No, I'm not really worried. Just wondering what's out there to help keep things in check.
Prevent and Protect

Become a sunscreen believer - UV light from the sun is the #1 skin-ager. Buy it. Use it.

  • Pay attention to diet, get sufficient sleep, and drink plenty of water
  • Support your skin with antioxidants, collagen-preserving serums and collagen-boosting retinol
  • Don't smoke
  • Don't wait for the house to fall down before you make repairs - earlier intervention is a big skin-saver and money-saver
Technology today creates skin possibilities never before even dreamed of!
Repair - with Technology

The foundation of skin repair begins with the creation of new collagen. Old collagen is weak and stretched out. You can spark new collagen production with precisely placed controlled heat. Skin responds by turning on the collagen switch. New collagen is firm and smooth.

THERMAGE - Bulk Heating (Fully Noninvasive)

How Does Thermage Work?

Heat Generation in your Skin = New Collagen Formation

For over 20 years, Thermage has provided a completely non surgical option for skin tightening. Radio frequency is precisely delivered into the skin which in turn causes your skin to produce new, smooth collagen! Who knew it could be this easy?

Why You'll Like Thermage

+ Non Surgical - Lie back and be done in about an hour (depending on treatment area size).

+ No Downtime - Other than a little redness or possibly a small amount of short-lived puffiness, you're good to go the same day.

+ No Looking "Done" - Thermage is subtle with tightening occurring over time. You'll simply look fresher, firmer and better.

+ Works Almost Everywhere - Sagging skin on your face, eyelids, arms, thighs, knees and buttocks.

+ Thermage is the only FDA-approved procedure that can be used to tighten eyelids - this is a huge strength of the technology.

+ Plays Well with Other Technology - A great partner to Thermage is Fraxel and/or Clear + Brilliant for smoothing skin and creating enviable luminosity.

ULTHERAPY -The Surprise Power of UltraSound

How Does Ultherapy Work?

Ultherapy is FDA-cleared to lift the skin on the brow, neck, and under the chin, and improve lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.

Micro-focused energy heats tissues to the optimal temperature for aggressive new collagen production.

The depth of the ultrasound target reaches the same level as a surgical procedure.

As part of body’s wound healing response, long-term collagen remodeling delivers a gradual, natural-looking lift. Results can last a year or more.

Why You'll Like Ultherapy

+ It's noninvasive with the only potential side effects of transient bruising or swelling.

+ Recovery requires nothing. There is no wound tending or special precautions following your treatment. if you wear makeup, you can use it immediately.

+ Because your provider can see the penetration depth of the ultrasound, you're assured it's reaching the levels that will give you the best results; no guesswork with this!

GENIUS - Internally Delivered Heat (Minimally Invasive)

How Does Genius Work?

Genius is a MicroNeedling device that delivers heat via tiny needles. The TIP of the needle is the pathway for radio frequency energy. This energy creates heat INSIDE the skin at a predetermined depth. (Smart, huh?)

RF-generated heat then causes a type of controlled wound that the body reacts to by creating new collagen. And as you know now, new collagen is springy, compact and makes your skin feel and look smoother and younger.

Why You'll Like Genius

+ Non Surgical - Minimally invasive because the needles do enter the skin.

+ Precise energy delivery is calculated in real time. This is important so you are not under-treated or over-treated. We love that!

+ Controllable downtime with fully customized treatment. Of course, the more extensive the existing skin problem, the more effort needed to correct.

+ Little worry about post-treatment pigmentation. Because the heat is delivered BELOW the pigment-making cell layer, the chance of pigmentation side effects is dramatically lower than with typical laser.

+ New collagen improves the skin over time, so you'll look better as the months go on. Repeat sessions (based on need) can continue improvements on an ongoing basis.

ELLACOR - Tissue Reduction - Minimally Invasive with NO Heat

How Does Ellacor Work?

Micro-coring is a new development and does not use heat to tighten the skin. Instead of tightening by using heat, the contraction of the treated area occurs by the actual removal of tiny columns of skin.

Super-thin hollow needles work like punch biopsy to define the tissue column - and a vacuum whisks it away. The procedure is quick with most treatments taking no more than 30 minutes after anesthetic is administered.

Why You May Like Ellacor

+ Micro-coring removes skin tissue mechanically, so the process is not the same as in tissue tightening from a heat source.

+ Even though there is no heat, because there are micro wounds, you get the double benefit of immediate tissue reduction AND a forthcoming additional collagen response.

+ Virtually no scar risk. The tiny column spaces left by the removed skin "collapse" on themselves immediately. Each column is a mere .41 mm in diameter.

+ No sutures, no cutting. Reduce skin surface area by up to 8% in a single treatment in the treated section (lower face). Multiple treatments may be required for optimal results.

Micro-coring is not a replacement for a surgical facelift. The goal is to provide a subtle but noticeable redefinition of skin draping offered in an office setting with no incisions or stitches.
