Learn About Microdermabrasion

Monday, March 15th, 2010

BlogIntroNow 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.

TOP 5 Anti-Aging Skin Treatments

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

TopFiveTreatmentsFrom wrinkle fillers to hair removal, here are the top five non-surgical treatments*:

  1. BOTOX®Reduces facial lines and wrinkles, and is a safe and effective way to diminish the appearance of facial wrinkles with minimal side effects.
  2. Hyalauronic acidsRestylane, Perlane and Juvederm are non-animal based hyaluronic dermal fillers which provide patients with restored skin volume and fullness while correcting moderate to deep facial wrinkles and folds.
  3. Chemical PeelsRestores a more youthful appearance to wrinkled, unevenly pigmented, sun-damaged, and blotchy skin.
  4. Laser Hair RemovalThe laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to travel down the hair shaft to the end of the hair follicle. This process will eliminate or greatly impede hair growth.
  5. MicrodermabrasionBy exfoliating dead skin cells, microdermabrasion creates smoother, healthier skin in about 30 minutes.

Fractional Laser Treatments

Monday, October 26th, 2009

FractionalLaserFractional laser treatments are a new twist to traditional laser resurfacing. Traditional laser procedures treat the entire surface of the face and are used to smooth away deep wrinkles, but may require extended downtime. Fractional laser resurfacing is a less invasive treatment series that eliminates wrinkles, fine lines and other skin imperfections, while requiring less healing time.

Laser fractional therapy uses gentle pulses that treat only a small portion of the surface of the face at one time. These pulses are effective in treating many skin conditions including wrinkles, acne scars, and sun-damaged skin. Depending on the depth of the chosen treatment, it can involve one session, or a series of treatments that significantly improve skin’s texture, elasticity and clarity, with final results occurring 8-10 weeks after the first treatment.

For more information about fractional laser resurfacing, or to schedule your consultation, call us today at 417-887-FACE.

A New Type of BOTOX?

Monday, October 12th, 2009

SmoothSkinHave you heard about the new alternative to BOTOX®? Made from the same active ingredient as BOTOX, Dysport® is now available from LaFerriere and Kienstra Facial Plastic surgery. Like BOTOX, Dysport works by freezing the muscles used when you frown. This new wrinkle treatment is made from the same protein as BOTOX but results are reported to last longer. Because the Dysport treatment spreads further than BOTOX, it is useful for treating larger areas and requires fewer injections. For more information about Dysport or to schedule your consultation, call us at 417-887-FACE.
