Aquagold is a microinjector device used in cosmetic dermatology and aesthetic medicine. It is designed to deliver a customized mixture of skincare products, such as vitamins, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid, directly into the skin. The device has small needles that are finer than a human hair, making the procedure relatively painless. Aquagold is often used for facial rejuvenation, skin hydration, and improvement of overall skin texture. The treatment aims to enhance skin appearance and address specific concerns by delivering the chosen skincare ingredients directly to the targeted areas.

Chemical peels use a variety of chemical solutions to remove damaged surface layers of skin and reveal new, younger and healthier looking skin. Chemical peels vary in strengths depending on the patient’s skin type and concerns.

* Superficial Peels – target the very outer layers of skin for the mildest peels. The outer layers are gently exfoliated to improve surface level blemishes like skin discoloration and rough texture.

* Medium Peels – glycolic acid is applied to the skin, penetrating the outer and middle layers to remove damaged cells. This type of peel can improve age spots, sun damage, freckles, discoloration, and fine lines. The treatment can smooth the skin for a younger appearance and glow.

Candidates for a chemical peel are those who experience facial blemishes such as sun damage, age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, and discoloration. Chemical peels are compatible with many different skin types and colors and can be customized to meet the patient’s unique skin concerns. Those who want to look younger, improve their skin’s texture, or just want an overall rejuvenated appearance can benefit from a chemical peel.

Prior to the chemical peel, the skin will be cleansed and prepped. The chemical solution will then be applied to the skin and left on for a few minutes. Patients might feel some tingling and stinging depending on the strength of the peel. Superficial peels cause minimal discomfort, while deeper peels are a little harsher. The chemical solution is then neutralized. The procedure takes an average of 30 minutes to complete.

After a chemical peel, your skin will be sensitive and you might experience some redness and a feeling of tightness. Side effects will depend on the strength of the peel. In the days and weeks after treatment, some degree of peeling and flaking will occur to reveal fresh, new skin. This new skin will be extra sensitive, so sun exposure should be avoided. Some mild peels can be repeated to optimize results, however, a deeper peel may only need to be done once.

The procedure is done on an outpatient basis. Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation procedure that utilizes a sterile, surgical scalpel to gently remove the top-most layer of dead skin along with fine, vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz.

Unlike terminal hairs, vellus hair does not grow back thicker or darker. The procedure is safe and can be performed in under an hour. It can be done monthly as a stand alone treatment or in conjunction with other procedures such as microneedling and chemical peels.

Dermaplaning is a painless procedure and can be compared to the sensation of shaving your legs, but in this case, it’s on your face.

INTENDED RESULTS

Dermaplaning reveals a smoother, brighter complexion, eliminates the peach fuzz that cakes up in makeup, and makes skin appear dull. Dermaplaning also allows for greater penetration of skincare products and creates a flawless canvas for makeup to glide on smoothly.

The procedure is done on an outpatient basis. Microdermabrasion treatments use a diamond-tipped wand or crystals to gently sand your skin, removing the top layer (epidermis) of your skin and stimulate new skin growth. The procedure is safe and can be performed in under an hour. You may feel a mild scratching as the procedure removes the superficial skin cells. There is also a suction mechanism to lift off the dead skin. It can be done monthly as a stand alone treatment or in conjunction with other procedures such as microneedling and chemical peels.

INTENDED RESULTS

❖ Improve age spots and blackheads.

❖ Improve hyperpigmentation (patches of darkened skin).

❖ Exfoliate your skin, resulting in a refreshed appearance.

❖ Lessen the appearance of stretch marks.

❖ Reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

❖ Reduce or eliminate enlarged pores.

❖ Treat acne and the scars left by acne.

❖ A more positive self image.

❖ Microdermabrasion helps to thicken your collagen, which results in a younger looking complexion. Collagen is a protein in your skin which is abundant when you're a child and makes skin appear taut and smooth. Collagen production declines as we age, resulting in looser, uneven skin.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a minimally invasive anti-aging treatment that can be used to help repair damaged tissues in the body. Doctors have been using PRP for some time now for a variety of orthopedic applications, but it is now being used to address aesthetic issues as well as hair rejuvenation.

Many individuals who are looking for a natural alternative to facial and hair rejuvenation can benefit from PRP. Patients who are experiencing facial skin issues such as volume loss, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin texture, and scarring often see great results with PRP. However, a consultation is needed to help determine if this procedure is a good match for you.

During the PRP procedure, a small amount of blood is taken just like it would be during a blood draw at the doctor’s office. Then, the blood is spun in a centrifuge which separates the plasma from the rest of the blood. The PRP is then transferred to a syringe and injected into the areas of concern. This PRP will begin the regeneration process in the skin to address signs of aging for a more youthful appearance. Some patients can see results after just one treatment, though most require 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart to see best results.

PRP is very versatile and can be injected into many areas of the body, including around and under the eyes, cheeks, neck, jawline, chest and décolletage, breasts, back of hands and arms, lips, nasolabial groove, scalp, and eyebrows.

Following a PRP treatment, patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the treatment area, though this should resolve with time. It is not recommended that patients massage the area afterward. Smoking, alcohol, and exercise should be avoided for at least three days.

The ripples and dimples of cellulite can appear on anyone. Even a super-toned physique may be prone to patches of cellulite no matter what adjustments are made to diet and exercise. Cellulite results from the way the body holds certain fat deposits, not necessarily from the overall amount of fat present.

Underneath the skin, fibrous cords of connective tissue (septae) secure the dermis to the muscle. In some areas, these cords align in a vertical pattern with uneven sections between them, creating small pockets in which adipose tissue (fat) collects. The fat cells push up toward the surface producing that characteristic lumpiness associated with cellulite. Profound RF, by Syneron Candela, presents a non-surgical solution to reduce or remove cellulite by treating it at the source—recalibrating the fibrous cords that support the skin and breaking down the adipose tissue trapped between those cords.
