Perhaps nothing is more gratifying for a more youthful beautifying look, than having an immediate correction of rhytides or scars as a result of the injection of dermal filler. Since 1981, many products for that purpose were FDA approved.    Some last 3 months and some 4-6 months, plus needs testing for allergy before treating.   derma’s choices are the newer generation of FDA cleared dermal fillers, long lasting 9-12 months and do not require allergy testing.

 By definition, dermal filler is a product that is injected or placed into the dermis.  The procedure takes 20 minutes or more depending on the area treated.  A post procedure instruction sheet is usually given to patients, emphasizing the important points. 

A free consultation session set initially allows enough time to discuss which type of fillers would give you the best results, as well as answer your questions and concerns.  The products mostly used at our clinic to restore a healthy youthful appearance, enhancing the existing features are:

Juvederm injectable gel – a hyaluronic acid proven safe and effective augmentation for all skin types and color lasting up to a year.  Results are immediate with minimal recovery / downtime towards a more youthful look enhancing your features.

Aging – intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic due to age and genetic. Facial wrinkling, expression lines and drier, more sensitive skin may be a result of intrinsic aging. The extrinsic or more controllable factors of aging refer to exposure to the sun and/or pollutants which cause a breakdown of the skin’s structure, leading to discoloration, wrinkles, skin growths and even cancer.

Hyperpigmentation (skin discoloration) –due to sun damage, or hormone fluctuations due to pregnancy or menopause, and skin injuries such as acne scarring. Certain skin types can also be more susceptible to hyperpigmentation.

IPL is categorized with Lasers though there are some differences in the delivery of light if you study the physics behind it.

IPL/Laser for hair removal:

IPL / laser remove hair and impair the hair follicles ability to re-grow. Not all hairs are actively growing at the same time. There are three distinct phases: Growth, regression, and resting. The IPL system works by disabling the hair while in the active growth phase at the time treated. Our staff will help you develop the best program that helps meet your hair treatment goals. Treatments have been proven to work best at around 4 week intervals.

The ideal candidate has dark hair and a fair to medium skin type. However, at our consultation session, we will determine if you are a good candidate for IPL hair removal, and it can be used on most skin types. Expect to need at least 6 treatments, depending on the area being treated, while strong thick hair requires more treatments to achieve results.

At derma, a medical grade system is applied -Regenique system for the treatment; the process consists of stages and takes up to an hour on the treatment table. 

The Regenique system includes the very best way to smooth and polish your skin. The medical microdermabrasion system treats the skin by removing the resistive stratum corneum layer (top most layers) skin with no-pain and a lot to gain. In addition, ultrasound and electrical stimulation device increases circulation and promotes improved elasticity in your skin. The medical ultrasound treatment deep heats the layers of the skin, while the electrical stimulation creates a deep therapeutic massage to the tissue. This step is essential to the maximum absorption of the skin specific topical products for the next step.

You relax to a treatment of skin care products and a mask that produces deep results. This process forces toxins in the dermis to rise to the epidermis in the form of perspiration. The toxins burn off, the remaining water grabs the skin care nutrients and drives them into the dermal layer, creating super hydration to the layers of the skin and treating the skin condition where damage begins — and where the effects of new collagen production begin.

 In a few short weeks with no down time you will experience:

Comfortable treatment with no downtime! Our experience is that almost everyone has visible positive effects or receives some compliments on their skin beauty, after one treatment.

Regenique is safe for all skin colors, conditions and types and you’ll see immediate results after your first treatment – because after only one treatment Régenique increases collagen production. This unique system - will help you recapture your youthful glow in only a few weeks.

Spiders veins are classified into 2 categories:  Cosmetic and medical; cosmetic ones can be on the face especially by the nose, while spider veins on the legs can be sporadic, with no significant signs and symptoms.  The medical varicose veins are usually more apparent, may be larger in diameter and can be caused by underlying reasons with some signs and symptoms or accompanying some complaints by the patient. 

Treatment at derma is done on cosmetic spider veins as a combination of injections and laser.  Lasers can help vanish visible spider veins alone and or with Sclerotherapy injections in different treatment sessions.

Treatment can vary from 1-3 sessions depending on the case.
