BOTOX® is extremely popular because it is simple to perform and consistently achieves good results. With just a few injections, the procedure can paralyze facial muscles and prevent them from wrinkling. These products typically reduces wrinkles by 80 percent. Patients are typically between the ages of 30 and 60.

The name alone, Botox® , is an implication of the true nature of the substance: Botulinum toxin type A. It is a non-surgical way to reduce or eliminate frown lines, forehead creases, crow's feet, neck bands and other wrinkles. A little bit of Botox® does a powerful job. The treatment is effective but temporary and has to be repeated every 3 to 6 months. BOTOX® weakens the facial muscles that create wrinkles and frowns when they contract. When it starts to wear off, muscle activity will gradually begin to reappear, so you will not wake up one morning to all of your pre-Botox® wrinkles lunging at you in the bathroom mirror. The goal is a subtle softening, but not necessary the complete elimination, of facial expression lines.

 

The Vampire FaceLift® stands alone from the other facelifts in the current market by not being an invasive surgery. Instead, it is a technique centered on using the platelets of the blood in tandem with an injectable medium to carefully fill in selected areas of skin. The goal is to return the face to a younger look while stimulating the natural healing powers of the body’s cells. A skilled injector will be able to smooth the wrinkles on your face and fill in the finer lines.

The Vampire Facelift is perfect for those thinking about correcting lines and sun damage to their face, without wanting to suffer through an extensive invasive surgery followed with a lengthy recovery. You are able to receive this treatment in one sitting, and be back on your feet doing the things you love with a new healthy glow to your skin the very same day.

The growth factors of the platelet-rich formula stimulate the natural cell production of the skin, causing a surge in development of blood cells in the area. This, combined with the filler, does a number of things; most notably returning a healthy rosy color to the flesh from increased blood flow under the skin surface. The filler component is used to fill the lines and wrinkles of the face, creating smoother surfaces for the skin and a radiant glow due to the platelets. The two working in tandem create a natural, healthy look and luster to your skin.

 

Ever notice how a juicy red apple looks shiny, lustrous and enticing, while a fuzzy skin makes peaches look dull? The secret behind Dermaplaning skin resurfacing is using an extremely fine, surgical-grade blade to gently exfoliate the epidermis, removing fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”) and dead skin cells to reveal a smooth, vibrant, red carpet ready complexion. Dermaplaning is a quick procedure that allows our skilled and experienced nurse to delicately abrade the skin’s surface, showing off your skin’s inner beauty.

Dermaplaning is perfect for:

• Deep exfoliation without harsh abrasives or peeling agents, making it perfect for pregnant women or those who prefer a non-chemical skin resurfacing technique
• Men and women with peach fuzz that creates a dull look due to buildup of dirt and oil
• Creating a smooth surface so anti-aging beauty products can penetrate more deeply and be more effective
• Preparing the skin for laser treatments and chemical peels

IS DERMAPLANING RIGHT FOR YOU?

Should you find yourself saying “YES!” to any of the following questions, Dermaplaning may be the perfect facial treatment to improve the look of your skin:

• Do acne scars cause you embarrassment, leaving you looking for a safe and effective way to enjoy smoother skin?
• Do you notice a dry, aged complexion looking back at you when you look in the mirror?
• Does a buildup of dead skin cells make imperfections and fine lines look more pronounced than they actually are?
• Are you looking for a way to gently and effectively remove the top layer of your skin to reveal the smooth, undamaged face beneath?

DERMAPLANING FAST FACTS

• Dermaplaning is a perfect skin resurfacing technique for patients with especially rough or dry skin, hyperpigmentation problems such as melasma or sun spots, mild acne scars or fine facial lines and wrinkles.
• You may have heard an “old wives’ tale” about vellus hair removed during Dermaplaning growing back heavier and darker, but don’t believe the myth! Any hair removed will grow back at the same rate and with the same texture as it had previously.
• It’s important to be especially conscientious about sun exposure after your Dermaplaning session to avoid hyperpigmentation.
• Dermaplaning can be performed as often as every two weeks, but you will likely only require repeat treatments when you begin to see the regrowth of vellus hair (generally after about one month).
• Dermaplaning can be used in conjunction with other med spa treatments, helping powerful anti-aging products to penetrate more deeply.

DOES IT HURT?

Dermaplaning is a quick and easy procedure resulting in almost no discomfort or down time. No recovery period is required, and your skin expert will apply a deeply hydrating moisturizer and sunscreen after your treatment in order to protect the skin so you can go about your day. It’s important to follow any special post-treatment instructions we provide in order to maximize your comfort and help you get the most from your Dermaplaning treatment.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Dermaplaning gently resurfaces the skin using a very fine, surgical-grade scalpel to delicately abrade the skin’s surface with light, feather-like strokes. Our skin experts are highly skilled in using this gentle technique to carefully remove dead surface skin cells for deep exfoliation. First, we will cleanse and dry your skin for maximum efficacy. Next, you’ll just relax and lie still as we use precision movements to reveal fresh, radiant skin.

After treatment, we will moisturize your skin for deep hydration and protect it with a professional-grade sunscreen. If you’re combining Dermaplaning with another procedure, we will prepare your skin for the next treatment, as your complexion will be perfectly primed for deep absorption of other products.

RESULTS

You should see a noticeable glow immediately after treatment as dead, dull layers of epidermal skin are removed. Without excess vellus hair trapping excess oil and skincare products, most patients see a marked improvement in the skin for a brightening, anti-aging effect. Repeat treatments will be necessary when you see your peach fuzz return, usually after approximately one month.
