Core Fractionated CO2 Laser Resurfacing

Restorative lasers can be amazingly beneficial with superb results and minimal downtime. Achieve superior results with the fewest treatments by enhancing skin tone and texture, reducing the effects of the sun and aging on the skin, smoothing lines and wrinkles, skin tightening and improving acne scars. Treatments range from mild to aggressive based on the extent of the rejuvenation you are looking for. The downtime is approximately two weeks. Right now, the Core Fractionated CO2 Laser treatment is $1,200 (regularly $1,500).

The Perfect Derma Peel
A beautiful complexion can be made possible with the help of The Perfect Derma Peel. As one of the most powerful peels on the market, patients who receive this treatment benefit from noticeable, long-lasting results after just one session. The Perfect Derma Peel significantly reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne, acne scars and hyperpigmentation in as little as one treatment. The peel can be applied to the face, neck, chest and even hands. Patients can experience a drastic improvement in the appearance, tone, texture and elasticity of their skin. The entire process takes about 15 minutes and patients can return to their usual activities immediately after. In about a week, the peeling process is usually complete and patients can see and feel a dramatic difference.

Fraxel Re:store Dual Laser
This dual laser treats a number of different conditions ranging from wrinkles to freckles, pre-cancerous actinic keratoses, enlarged pores and acne scarring. Fraxel Re:store Dual is safe to treat all skin types and is non-invasive with only minimal discomfort. Most patients see at least 60- to 80-percent improvement after their series of four treatments is completed. Fine lines and wrinkles are reduced while tone and quality of the skin is improved tremendously. Pigmentation can seem to disappear while scarring appears "blended away." Most patients only experience up to a week of pinkness and/or puffiness to the treated area. Makeup can be applied immediately after the treatment. Healing time and results are accelerated with the addition of PRP (platelet rich plasma). PRP is derived from processing the patient's own blood, drawn during the visit, to concentrate the platelets. The PRP, full of stem-cell enriching growth factors, is applied during the laser treatment. During the month of October, Fraxel packages are $3,000, $500 off the regular price, and include one PRP addition for free.

Beauty News to Use
The "Brazilian Butt Lift" Raises Hopes for a Higher, Rounder Derriere

In 2015, nearly 15,000 American women and men enhanced their rears with the help of a surgeon; that's about one buttock procedure every 30 minutes, all day, every day. Most of those patients opted for fat grafting, though buttock implant use also soared in 2015, up by 36 percent from the previous year.
Why are buttock enhancements increasing in popularity? The answer, in part, reads like an A-list party roster. Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj, Iggy Azalea, Jessica Biel and Sofia Vergara, just to name a few, have become famous for their ample, round rears and substantial projection.
What once was a coveted celebrity trend has trickled down to the masses; procedures like Brazilian Butt Lifts are now routinely scheduled by soccer moms and school teachers, as well as men who hope to obtain a youthful "football"-shaped tight end. And, while the procedure first gained traction with younger patients seeking often-dramatic augmentation, now the older generation wants "in," too. This demographic is traditionally seeking to only-moderately enhance a "dropped behind" that can benefit from improved fullness and lift.
Today's Brazilian Butt Lift patient is most often a female liposculpture client who desires a more-narrow waist and heart-shaped or round derriere with noticeably-improved projection. The procedure usually involves a combination of liposuction around the lower back and waist - as well as an aesthetically-sound fat graft to the rear. These augmentations are more subtle than implants, allowing patients to, if they choose, attribute their improved shape to great genes or "great jeans." Thanks to the natural look of fat grafting, many patients also confidently attribute their new rear to an old excuse: their workout regimen.
