Now you can have smoother, healthier, younger-looking skin without pain or surgery, and with no downtime for recovery. Microdermabrasion treatments do not interfere with those who enjoy outdoor activities. Microdermabrasion treatments are also beneficial for those who have acne due to oily skin. Microdermabrasion takes about 15-20 minutes and there is no discomfort or down time. The treatment leaves your skin a rosy-pink color for about 20-30 minutes and you can return to normal activities immediately.

Sculptra Aesthetic is a new facial injectable treatment. It works gradually to replace collagen and provides structure that lets your new look emerge more discreetly. An average number of treatment sessions of Sculptra is 3 injection sessions over a few months. The sessions are spread out this way because Sculptra gradually replaces lost collagen to restore a natural-looking appearance that can last up to 2 years.

Chemical peels are one of the most effective methods for achieving smoother, younger-looking skin. They work by gently removing the outer layer of skin to reveal a brighter, clearer complexion. There are three levels of chemical peels:
- Light chemical peels include glycolic, lactic, and fruit acid peels which improve the texture of sun-damaged skin, diminish fine lines, and balance out skin pigmentation. Because these types of chemical peels are the mildest available, they can be repeated on a regular basis to achieve the desired results with as little down time as possible.
- Medium depth chemical peels use trichloroacetic acids (TCA) to treat surface wrinkles, moderate sun damage, and uneven pigment changes. Medium depth chemical peels require about a week of recovery time before patients can resume using makeup.
- Deep chemical peels (phenol peels), go to the deepest level of the skin to treat coarse wrinkles and blotchiness and deep vertical lip lines. Because it can cause permanent lightening of the skin, this type of chemical peel is not recommended for those with dark skin tones.

Clean, radiant skin is definitely in this winter. But how do you get your skin to look luminous, even when the weather is cold, dry and unforgiving? Try these effective treatments:
1. Chemical peels are quick “lunchtime” procedures that are great for smoothing acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles. Peels work by removing layers of damaged skin to reveal a smoother complexion and a younger appearance.
2. Microdermabrasion with the DiamondTome™ Resurfacing system is a gentle, yet effective skin resurfacing tool that restores your skin’s radiance. Instead of using abrasive particles to treat the skin, the aesthetician uses a special DiamondTome that uses a diamond tipped wand to resurface skin so you look younger and more refreshed without the irritation of exfoliating particle treatments.
For more information about chemical peels or microdermabrasion, schedule your consultation today by calling 417-887-FACE.

Hyaluronic fillers use the body’s own moisture to maintain their shape, providing long-lasting, natural-looking results. As the acid in hyaluronic fillers begin to degrade over time, each molecule binds to more and more water in order to produce a similar amount of volume, even as the amount of dermal filler is reduced. The result? The effects of these fillers may last up to six months, sometimes even longer.
