Radiesse dermal filler is made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, and is injected into the skin through a simple and minimally invasive procedure. RADIESSE dermal filler is the ideal choice for total facial contouring. It can restore a healthy, youthful appearance, enhance your existing features, help you defy age and gravity, and increase your confidence – all without invasive surgery or scarring.

The only difference between Surgiderm and Restylane is that it contains a more concentrated form of hyaluronic acid. Due to this, correction of even the most deep set wrinkles, frown lines, the contour and volume of the lips poses no problems . The Surgiderm 3-D Matric product contains a highly concentrated hyaluronic acid and the molecule structure is different. Because of this difference the time period it takes the hyaluronic acid to disslove greatly increases and the rejuvenating and correcting effect lasts for much longer.

What is Restylane?

Restylane is the smart and easy way to add volume and smoothness to your skin. Restylane is based on a hyaluronic acid gel that closely resembles the body's own hyaluronic acid. It is long lasting, but not permanent.

Restylane is an injectable gel which should always administered by a trained, medically qualified practitioner. Restylane enhances your natural looks by restoring your skin's volume, creating softness and revitalizing your appearance.

It produces its effect by freezing (reversibly paralyzing) the target muscles, therefore, preventing them from contracting and producing skin wrinkles.

How does Restylane work?

Youthful skin is rich in hyaluronic acid. As we age, the distribution and function of hyaluronic acid in our skin gradually change, leading to the characteristic signs of aging. Restylane gels work by enhancing your skin's own stocks of hyaluronic acid, directly adding volume to either soften the signs of aging or enhance your features. The procedure is quick. It usually takes less than 30 minutes. The benefits can be seen immediately.

5 reasons to have Restylane

RESTYLANE is safe. Restylane safety and efficacy is proven beyond a doubt, with robust clinical data spanning a decade. Adverse reactions to Restylane are rare.

RESTYLANE is natural. The uniquely produced hyaluronic acid gel of Restylane closely resembles natural hyaluronic acid. This reduces the risk of an inflammatory reaction or other side effects.

RESTYLANE is long lasting but not permanent. Restylane gives you flexibility and control over your looks. Because your face changes shape as you age, you want to avoid a permanent look you might regret in years to come.

RESTYLANE is non-animal. In contrast to some other hyaluronic acid-based products, the hyaluronic acid in Restylane is not extracted from animals. This means there is no risk of transmitting disease or eliciting allergic reactions if you are sensitive to common foods, such as chicken and eggs.

RESTYLANE is quick and easy. Restylane treatment usually fits in well with busy lifestyles, with minimal downtime, and gives results that can be seen instantly.

How is Restylane produced?

Q-Med is a rapidly growing biotechnology/medical device company. Q-Med develops, produces, markets and sells implants for esthetic and medical use. All products are based on the company's patented NASHAT technology.

Patented technology. If you injected hyaluronic acid in its natural form into the body, it would break down in just a few days, and any treatment benefit would be very short-lived. The unique stabilization process patented by Q-Med and used in the manufacture of Restylane results in a hyaluronic acid gel that closely resembles the body's own hyaluronic acid. This provides long-lasting treatment benefits and minimizes the risk of a skin reaction.

Palomar's Medilux Intense Pulsed Light System

This system was chosen for our procedures because of its effectiveness, safety and comfort to the 
patient. You will be impressed with how comfortable it is and with 
the results you’ll see!

How it works:

IPL and laser work in similar ways to target the "root" of the hair. The "root" picks up the light as it 
penetrates the skin and turns it to heat. The heat destroys the "root" and thus, no further hair growth 
occurs at that follicle.
It gets tricky though... hair goes through stages of actively growing and resting. Resting hairs do not have a very large "root".  And what "root" is present does not have much color to it.  The light is picked up by the color - so a larger "root" that has deeper color will be a more effective target.  At any one time, a section of skin may have anywhere from 20-80% of the hair in the resting phase.  It may take 4-20 weeks for all of 
those resting hairs, to resume actively growing.  When we treat an area one time, we are able to achieve disabling" up to 80% of the actively growing hairs.  So you can see, we would need to do multiple treatments over time to be successful in reducing the hair effectively.

Why we use the term reduction rather than removal:

No system can totally remove all hair from an area.  And, in some areas, new hair will start to grow over time if hormones stimulate new growth.

Is it permanent?

The FDA closely controls what one can claim about each specific device.  The Palomar Medilux has been approved to market as a permanent method of hair reduction.  Palomar has data showing up to 7 years of significant reduction in hair.

How do I set up an appointment?

You can schedule online using the appointments link on the home page. Schedule a 1/2 hour visit for a free IPL consult. Just type in free IPL consult as the reason for the visit when asked.  At that visit, we review the procedure and expected results and finalize the price.  Since there can be a wide range of how dense the hair is, how much area it covers for a given body site etc, we finalize the fee during the free consult.  If you are choosing to do more than one body area, discounts are offered for additional site packages.
