Botox Dysport Xeomin
Info
Botox and Dysport provides a wonderful way to roll back the clock and restore that youthful look.
Botulinum Toxin Type A – BOTOX, DYSPORT and XEOMIN.
As a result of facial muscle contractions over time, deep expression lines or wrinkles appear at the forehead, “crows feet” around the eyes and brow, among other places.
Botulinum toxin type A
when strategically injected into to the muscles responsible for the wrinkle or expression line, causes its temporary relaxation and gives the face a more relaxed, rejuvenated and pleasant appearance.
After the treatment with Botox, Dysport and XEOMIN, the effects are noticeable within 48-72 hrs. and they are complete in 7 to 10 days.
The total duration of the effect varies from around 4 to 5 months.
The procedure is performed at the doctor’s office in a few minutes. It requires neither anesthesia nor recovery time.
Botox, Dysport and Xeomin are a Purified Neurotoxin Complex which when injected into a muscle causes sustained relaxation of that specific muscle.
Injecting into the muscles of the forehead wrinkles causes sustained relaxation of these muscles thus smoothing out the area. These produxts are very useful in the forehead, between the eyes, the crows feet area and in the “crunch lines” across the nasal bridge between the eyes. The results normally last 4 to 6 months. The injection normally takes 5 minutes or less. There is no down time associated with these injections, such that you can return to work or your social activities immediately. Botox, Dysport, Xeomin are safe, proven, and exciting ways to improve certain areas of the face without the time and inconvenience related to surgery and laser skin resurfacing.
Almost 3.3 million procedures were performed in 2005 alone
a 16% increase over 2004. Not just models and movie stars, but people from all types of professions have tried it.
In fact, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) ranked BOTOX® Cosmetic
as the most popular physician-administered aesthetic procedure in the United States for the fourth year in a row (surgical and nonsurgical combined).
What’s more, the ASAPS surveys ranked BOTOX® Cosmetic as one of the low-entry-cost facial aesthetic procedures in the United States.
Maybe you heard a friend talk about her experience with BOTOX® Cosmetic
and you think your friend looks great—but before you get treated, you’d like to know more about it first.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a non-surgical, physician-administered aesthetic treatment for moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people ages 18 to 65.
BOTOX® Cosmetic works by reducing the contractions of the muscles that cause those persistent frown lines that have developed over time.

Cutera Excel V Laser for Telangectasias and Skin Discoloration
There is a safe and effective treatment for telangectasias (small facial veins) and other benign pigmented lesions (brown spots) on the skin.
Excel V Laser provides the most advanced technology to lighten, even erase these spots. This laser can also lighten, diffuse redness to the face and neck, as well as red surgical scars.
This laser system treats tissue by gently sealing vessels with the administration of a unique green laser that heats the abnormal vessels, causing the vein walls to collapse.
This is done with the patient only feeling a warm sting for a fraction of a second. It is so gentle that local anesthesia is unnecessary. Brown spots are treated by heating the surface of the lesion and causing a slight crusting that will peel the abnormal discoloration from the skin.
Treatment with the laser varies from patient to patient depending on the type of lesion
size of the affected area, the color of the skin around the lesion and the depth to which the lesion extends beneath the skin’s surface. These various parameters affect the number of treatments required and can be determined based on the patient’s specific condition.
Before
No self-tanners or prolonged sun exposure causing tan at least 2 weeks prior to treatement
Avoid treatments such as waxing, depilatories, facials or peels 1-2 weeks prior to treatment
History of herpes or cold sores may require an anti-viral prescription prior to treatment. Inform the office
Men need to shave the day of treatment to avoid any stubble to areas of treatment
After
Expect redness in the treatment sites for 24 hours and swelling may occur for 1-2 days
Use ice packs as needed to the treatment sites until this clears. If blistering or prolonged swelling occurs, please phone the office at 261-2255.
A “bug bite”, welt or hive like appearance may occur and will resolve within 1-2 days
Bruising may occur but will resolve with time
Treated pigment will turn darker (brown to black) within 24-48 hours
Do not pick at treated areas and those on face will exfoliate off in approximately 1 week and off body in approximately 2-3 weeks.
Avoid heat including exercise, hot tubs/saunas and direct sun exposure for 48 hours
Avoid skin irritants such as skin care products with vitamin C, tretinoin, retinol, glycolic/salicylic acids, benzoyl peroxide, astringents etc. until redness/swelling clears
Wash treatment sites with gentle cleanser and use gentle moisturizer until redness/swelling clears
Continue to apply a broad-spectrum SPF #30 suncscreen daily and avoid excessive sun exposure to prevent further sun damage
Make up may be worn unless crusting develops
After first treatment, expect the need for a second treatment in one month
Some treatment areas such as the neck and chest may require additional treatments (3-5).

Sculptra-Aesthetic
Newly FDA Approved
Sculptra-Aesthetic is a cosmetic facial injectable that works gradually, resulting in a more youthful looking appearance that can last up to two years!
I am very pleased to now offer Sculptra®Aesthetic (injectable poly-L-lactic acid)
a cosmetic facial injectable that works gradually, resulting in a more youthful looking appearance that can last up to two years. SculptraAesthetic is now approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a treatment indicated for the correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold (smile lines) contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles which are treated with the appropriate injection technique in healthy people.
I am very excited to offer SculptraAesthetic to patients who want to achieve natural-looking results from a cosmetic injectable that is long-lasting.
“SculptraAesthetic works gradually to achieve results over time, so no one will notice you had work done.”
Wrinkles and folds associated with aging become apparent
primarily through the breakdown of collagen. SculptraAesthetic helps the body replace lost collagen to provide a more youthful looking appearance.
A treatment regimen of SculptraAesthetic
an average of three injection sessions over a few months, has been shown to help correct facial lines and wrinkles by replacing lost collagen over time to provide noticeable results that can last up to two years. SculptraAesthetic is made from poly-L-lactic acid, which has been safely used for the past 25 years in resorbable stitches. It is biocompatible (a material that does not harm the body) and biodegradable (able to be broken down by the body). Injectable poly-L-lactic acid has also been widely used in Europe for close to a decade for cosmetic treatment.
In a pivotal trial with SculptraAesthetic
swelling and tenderness were the most common adverse events reported (81%). Results from a recent study conducted for the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) and sanofi-aventis U.S. showed that both injectable users and women considering a medical anti-aging treatment prefer gradual results that last two years (75 percent) as opposed to immediate results that last one year (25 percent).
Beauty Conversations
What do patients want?
Today, patients who are looking for treatment for the signs of facial aging want a gradual, natural-looking appearance and long-lasting results.
Sculptra Aesthetic FAQs
What is Sculptra Aesthetic?
Sculptra Aesthetic is the first facial injectable that can give you noticeable results that emerge subtly. It replaces lost collagen to give you a more natural looking appearance without giving you away. A full treatment of Sculptra Aesthetic, on average, three injection sessions over a few months, can last up to two years.
How long has Sculptra Aesthetic been on the market?
Sculptra Aesthetic has been safely used worldwide since 1999, in over 150,000 patients, under the trade names New-Fill™ and Sculptra. In 2009, the FDA granted approval in the U.S. for the correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold (smile lines) contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles which are treated with the appropriate injection technique in healthy patients.
How does Sculptra Aesthetic work?
Sculptra Aesthetic works to target the underlying causes of the signs of aging such as collagen loss. Sculptra Aesthetic is a facial injectable that works gradually in a series of treatments — an average of 3 injection sessions over a period of a few months months — to produce a refined, more youthful-looking appearance. During the course of your Sculptra Aesthetic treatments, collagen is replaced. Over time, you’ll notice changes to your face that can last up to 2 years.
What is Sculptra Aesthetic made of?
Sculptra Aesthetic is made of a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which works to replace lost collagen. Poly-L-lactic acid is safe – absorbed naturally by the body – and has been used for years in dissolvable stitches.
What parts of the face does Sculptra Aesthetic treat?
Sculptra Aesthetic corrects shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds which are treated with appropriate injection techniques for a smoother overall appearance that can last up to 2 years.
How long does Sculptra Aesthetic last?
Sculptra Aesthetic is the first facial injectable with results that can last up to 2 years after your last treatment.
Are the results from Sculptra Aesthetic immediate?
No. Because Sculptra Aesthetic targets the underlying causes of the signs of facial aging, it can give you noticeable results that emerge subtly and can last for up to 2 years. Some visible improvements can be seen within the first few weeks of treatment, but the Sculptra Aesthetic regimen is designed to deliver its unique effects over the course of a few months. Typically, an average of 3 treatment sessions over a period of a few months – and because results happen gradually, you’ll see subtle yet noticeable results in the appearance of facial wrinkles and folds.
Restylane (including Perlane)
Restylane is an injectable gel which should be administered by a trained, medically qualified practitioner. Restylane enhances your natural looks by restoring your skin’s volume, creating softness and revitalizing your appearance.
How it works
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. Millions of people have used Restylane with confidence. It is the world’s most widely used product based on hyaluronic acid for esthetic enhancement.
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 nonanimal
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?
Restylane is produced by Q-Med AB in Sweden under strict laboratory conditions to obtain a high degree of product purity. 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 NASHA™ 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.
What Is JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel?
As we age, our skin changes.
Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvéderm™ injectable gel, you don’t have to just sit back and let it happen!
Juvéderm™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid
a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvéderm™ injectable gel under the skin to instantly restore your skin’s volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).
Juvéderm™ provides a smooth, natural look and feel
so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm™ compared to a collagen-based dermal filler.
Almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both Juvéderm™ injectable gel and another dermal filler† preferred Juvéderm™!
Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.
Immediate Results
With Juvéderm™ the injection process takes only about 15 minutes and results are immediate.
Plus, there’s minimal recovery or downtime. So you can step into your doctor’s office for treatment and step right back into your life.*
Juvéderm™ is indicated for injection into the mid to deep dermis for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds).
The other dermal filler used in this study was ZYPLAST® dermal filler (bovine-based collagen).
Important JUVÉDERM™ Treatment Considerations
Juvéderm™ Ultra and Juvéderm™ Ultra Plus are indicated for injection into the mid to deep dermis for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds).
Side effects were usually mild to moderate lasting 7 days or less and included temporary injection site reactions like redness, pain, firmness, swelling and bumps. For more information, please click on the “About Safety” link, or call the Allergan Product Support line at 1-877-345-5372.

Non-surgical
Contains a modified hyaluronic acid (HA), derived from a naturally occuring complex sugar
Sculptra-Aesthetic (Liquid FaceLift)
Injectable poly-L-lactic acid Sculptra (formally known as New-Fill) was approved for use in the U.S. in 2006.I has beenused in estimated 150,000 patients and in more than 30 countries with such great success that it has been called the “liquid face lift”. This non-invasive treatment corrects the deepest of creases and wrinkles with long-term results using a biodegradable material called “poly-L- lactic acid”. Studies have shown that Sculptra’s potency can even correct lipoatrophy, a condition that causes facial fat loss. Using numbing medication to minimize discomfort, Sculptra is injected using a fine needle. It works by stimulating collagen production in the skin and fills in what has been lost with age. Results are gradual, and depending on the level of improvement desired and the severity of the problem, anywhere between 3 to 5 monthly treaments may be needed. Once the desired look is achieved, this semi-permanent treatment appears to last greater than two years.
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is often called the “liquid facelift” or “facelift in a bottle”.
Sculptra is the only product that stimulates collagen growth providing a more natural appearance than temporary fillers.
Sculptra is great for the patient who doesn’t want to look like they’ve had “work done”.
Sculptra is the only product with a duration of up to two to five years.
Sculptra is a more holistic approach to combating facial aging because it is the body’s natural collagen that is stimulated.
Sculptra can be used proactively to slow down the aging process. By restoring lost collagen at an earlier age can keep aging too quickly at bay.
Temporary fillers allow a patient to “rent” facial volume.
Sculptra allows the patient to “own” their facial volume because of the stimulation of the body’s own natural collagen. Unlike temporary fillers, the effect of Sculptra remains after the product degrades.
Sculptra provides very high patient satisfaction.
Who Is a Typical Sculptra Candidate?
If your skin appears “tired”, sunken, delflated or hollowed, then you are likely a Sculptra candidate.
The nasolabial folds are derived from the downward migration of facial fat pads in the cheek area. If you have nasolabial folds, you are a Sculptra candidate.
If your cheeks used to be more robust, you are a Sculptra candidate.
If you have Hollow temples, you are a Sculptra candidate.
If you have lost weight and your face appears too thin, you are a Sculptra candidate.
If you have begun to see the initial sign of facial aging, ie: slight nasolabial folds, some hollowiness around the eyes, you are a Sculptra candidate.
How It Works
Because Sculptra stimulates the body’s own natural collagen
it gives the physician an opportunity to truly sculpt the face, giving the patient the opportunity to have a say in the final restoration. Because it is a natural process, it takes a little time for the body to stimulate collagen. The physician will inject the first session and then wait four to six weeks to see just how you as an individual patient has responded. This ‘Treat, Wait, and Assess’ process helps you and your physician determine the exact amount of correction/restoration that is right for you.
Typical Treatment
Two to five years of facial restoration is derived from a series of injection sessions depending on the progression of facial aging. Again, by injecting over a number of sessions, it gives your physician the opportunity to give you just the result you want, and provide a more natural look. A point of reference in how many injection sessions are as follows:
A mild patient will need an average of two injection sessions, four to six weeks apart.
A moderate patient will need an average of 3 to 4 injection sessions four to six weeks apart.
A severe patient may need an average of 4 to 6 injection sessions four to six weeks apart.
Below is a good rule of thumb in understanding how many injection sessions are needed based on whether a patient is determined as mild, moderate or severe.
Patients
Mild Patient
Initial signs of aging such as nasolabial folds, sunken eyes, beginning to see loss of robust/high cheeks/cheekbones.
Moderate Patient
Deepening nasolabial folds, wrinkling in the skin, loss of robust cheeks, lines around chin and above lips, hollowing in the lower cheeks, hollowing around the temples, may be ready for a mid-face lift but isn’t ready for a surgical procedure.
Severe Patient
Deep hollows in lower cheeks, wrinkling, very thin face, loss of robust cheeks, hollowing around the temples giving a skeletonized appearance, may be a candidate for a full facelift but isn’t yet ready for a surgical procedure. Sculptra is not very painful. The soft tissue is numbed with local anesthesia prior to the procedure and the needles are passed through only the frozen skin. Lidocaine is also added to the product before injection. There is no downtime and makeup can be worn on the way home from the injection. There is an unpredictable degree of bruising so one should also discontinue any medically unnecessary aspirin, NSAIDS and blood thinners prior to injection. *Once the injection sessions are finished, patients will have two to five years of facial restoration. Once a patient begins to see signs of facial deterioration again, the entire session of injections will not be needed. A touch up with one or two vials may be all that’s needed.
Belotero Balance® Dermal Filler
BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler is injected into the skin using a very fine needle
filling in your wrinkles right before your very eyes. BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler works instantaneously to plump your skin, filling out your wrinkles and folds so you’ll leave your healthcare provider’s office knowing BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler is working for you.
BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler is made of a material called hyaluronic acid or HA.
HA naturally exists as a component of your skin. By binding to water, it fills in wrinkles and folds, allowing immediate and smooth correction.
TCA Chemical Peels
TCA peels can effectively improve many conditions, including:
Dull, weathered skin
Freckling
Blotchy pigmentation
including the mask of pregnancy.
Sun damage
including precancerous lesions.
Fine wrinkles
Shallow acne scars
Info
Skin is a living organ made up of millions of cells.
Every day thousands of cells die, fall off and are replaced by new cells from below.
Unfortunately, as we age, this becomes a slower and more haphazard process, making your skin unable to shed dark blotches, sun damage or a dull, lifeless complexion.
The function of a skin peel is to create an even controlled shedding of several layers of damaged cells.
This exposes a new fresh layer of skin with a more even color and a smoother texture. In addition, the peel stimulates new cells to grow, thereby tightening the skin, which decreases wrinkling.
There are several types of peels, each using a different chemical to create this peeling effect.
Light and medium depth peels use the chemical TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) to create their peel.
TCA is a non-toxic chemical which has been used to perform skin peels for over 40 years.
Unlike some other types of peels, TCA has the additional advantage of creating a fresh natural appearing complexion while preserving the normal skin color. For this reason, they are often referred to as “freshening peels”.
Although one peel can significantly improve the appearance of the skin, it is possible that you may require more than one peel to achieve your best results.
Levulan Blu-U Light
What are Levulan + Blue Light PDT?
Levulan Aminolevulinic Acid (20%) is a naturally occurring photosynthesizing agent, which has been designed to treat pre-cancerous lesions called actinic keratoses. If untreated AK’s may develop into skin cancer. Levulan is applied to the skin and then “activated” by blue light. This process is known as Photodynamic Therapy.
What are Actinic Keratoses?
Actinic Keratoses (AKs) are rough-textured, dry, scaly patches on the skin caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, such as sunlight. They are often referred to as “sun spots” and they occur most frequently on sun exposed areas such as the face, scalp, ears, neck, hands and arms. They form on the outermost layer of skin and they can range in color from skin toned to reddish brown. They can also range in size from as small as a pinhead to larger than a quarter. More than 10 million Americans have AK lesions, with the majority occurring primarily in fair skinned individuals.
What do AK’s look like?
Approximately 90% of the outermost layer of skin (epidermis) is made up of tough walled cells called keratinocytes. It is these cells that give the skin its texture. When keratinocytes are exposed to years of sunlight, cell damage can occur. These cells then change in size, shape, as well as the way they are organized. AKs may range in appearance. They can be light or dark, the same color as one’s skin, tan, pink, red, or even a combination of these. They can also range in size and texture.
Why treat AKs?
AKs are considered to be the first step in the development of skin cancer. They have the potential to progress to squamous cell carcinoma which is generally not life threatening if detected and treated early. In most cases, when AKs and all types of skin cancers are caught in the early stages, they are treatable and curable. That is why it is so important for individuals with AKs to be under a dermatologist’s care. Frequent skin examinations are the key to early detection.
Who gets AKs?
AKs develop as the result of years of sun exposure. Because it accumulates over time, it is your lifetime exposure that increases your risk. Even if you didn’t sun-tan much, years of just doing simple tasks outside (e.g. going out to the mailbox, sports, etc.) all add up to a significant amount of sun exposure. Because AKs take a long time to develop, they generally appear after the age of 40. Your risk of developing AKs increases if you have one or more of the risk factors. These risk factors include:
A history of cumulative sun exposure
Fair skin
Blonde or red hair, in particular if combined with blue, hazel or green eyes
A tendency to freckle or burn after sun exposure
A weakened immune system
BLU-U Blue Light Frequently Asked Questions
Is the BLU-U® a laser?
The BLU-U is not a laser. Lasers deliver light as coherent beams, while the BLU-U delivers incoherent light scattered over a larger area.
How long is a BLU-U light therapy session?
The doctor will prescribe the most appropriate time frame for your acne, but typical sessions last roughly 16 minutes.
Who performs the BLU-U light therapy procedure?
A physician or registered clinician is required to perform the procedure.
Is it possible to stop the therapy midway through a session?
Yes, if a patient needs to remove himself from the unit, or asks for it to be turned off, he can do so at any time. Once the light treatment is stopped, it is not to be resumed during the session.
A New Way to Control Moderate Acne
Not exclusive to teenagers, many young adults, people in their 20's and 30's, have trouble with acne that is hard to control. The BLU-U® Treatment – using light without drugs or antibiotics – may be something for you to try. Ask your doctor. The BLU-U blue light is available in the offices of doctors who specialize in skin treatments. You can ask your doctor if your case of moderate acne is right for BLU-U Blue Light Treatment. If you are looking for an alternative to medications or antibiotics, it might be just what you need.
What is acne, and why is it so hard to control?
There are many types of acne. The most common is called acne vulgaris. Almost everyone goes through a period of acne at one time or another. Just beneath the surface of the skin lie hundreds of tiny glands called sebaceous glands. Their function is to collect and excrete the oily substance called sebum, to keep the skin healthy. However, the tiny pathway for the sebum to escape often becomes clogged, and a bacterium called P. acnes grows inside. In a short time, the area swells up, and forms a pimple on the skin. At certain times of life, this process becomes very active, troublesome and hard to control.
Is there a new way to control moderate acne?
There are many treatments for moderate acne – creams, washes, medications – mild ones and very strong ones. However, you doctor may decide that certain medications, such as antibiotics, aren’t right for you. Your case of moderate acne may not be responding to medications or other conventional treatments. It may be hard for you to keep up with complicated routines of skin care. Maybe it’s time to consider something new.
Latisse
What to Expect – Set Your Sights on Growth
Great eyelashes don’t just happen overnight. That’s why it’s important to note that LATISSE (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% works gradually and remarkably – starting at 4 weeks with full results after 16 weeks. Once you begin treatment, you could start to see results in as little as 4 weeks, but you must continue applying the topical treatment each night and follow the directions for best results. Remember results are gradual over time.
Your eyelashes will experience real measurable growth.
LATISSE works from the inside out. As the treatment progresses, you’ll begin to see changes in length, thickness and darkness gradually. After week 16, you’ll see the full effect of LATISSE – and so will others.
There are possible side effects
Throughout clinical trials, some users did experience itchy eyes and eye redness. However, some users found that these irritations went away once they became accustomed to the product or began applying it properly. As with any prescription treatment, always consult with your doctor for information and proper usage of LATISSE solution.
Patient Comments about Latisse
Jeannie
“While pregnant with my second child at 23, I went through a lot of stress, and as a result, I began to lose my eyelashes … to the point where I literally had none! My eyes looked weird. It was embarrassing. I never realized the value of my eyelashes until they were gone. To make up for the loss, I started wearing false eyelashes all the time, which wasn’t always convenient. But I kept wearing them … for decades! I’d pretty much given up hope of ever having eyelashes again. Then, at age 61, I was asked to participate in a clinical study for eyelash growth by my doctor. He didn’t make any promises, but I was hopeful. The results were amazing! Finally, my lashes grew back thick and long! I was so excited. Now I have beautiful long eyelashes.”
Hope
“I’ve always had thin, short lashes. They were barely noticeable. Within the first month, my lashes started to grow and, within two months, they looked even better. My favorite part is that the product is so easy to use.”
Lisa
“After using the product, my eyelashes really stand out. I get compliments all the time and it feels great! Everyone wants to know my secret … People even ask if I am wearing false eyelashes. I feel more confident knowing this product, unlike other lash growth products on the market, is FDA-approved, and comes from Allergan, a name I trust. I will absolutely tell all of my friends (and anyone who asks) about this new lash growth product.”

Sunscreens for Skin Cancer Prevention
Dr. Strohmeyer recommends both a Broad Spectrum sunscreen and daily use of topical Antioxidants.
Even the Best Broad Spectrum Sunscreen can only block up to 55% of the damaging free radicals from UV exposure. When applying a daily topical antioxidant, such as one from SkinCeuticals, with a broad spectrum sunscreen provide ULTIMATE PROTECTION – preventing the visible signs of photo-aging, and promoting optimal sun health.
You wouldn’t leave flowers out in the direct sun!
In addition to the obvious things like seeking shade and sun-protective clothing, it’s absolutely essential to wear highly effective sunscreen protection, especially in Florida. Ultra-violet light damage to skins cells can lead directly to cancerous cells over time, even deadly Melanoma. We constantly review the most important medical journals to bring you products we trust for their clinically proven ingredients.
Balance required
Even though sunscreens are an essential first line of defense, they still only block 55% of damaging free radicals! For a complete solution we combine the most advanced skin nutrients, antioxidants and sunscreens. This forms the complete protection you need to combat environmental skin damage that leads to fine lines, wrinkles and even skin cancer.
Photoaging
By definition photoaging, or solar elastosis, is the combined effect of chronological aging and long term sun damage on habitually exposed parts of the body. Features include fine and coarse wrinkling, roughness, irregular pigmentation, and a sallow skin tone. Changes are most noticeable on the face. Telangiectasia (dilated capillaries) comedones (clogged pores) purpura (easy bruising) actinic keratosis (rough red patches that may be forerunners of invasive skin cancer) also occur. Most Caucasians have mild to moderate photogaing by their fifties, and these changes, not aging itself, are responsible for the overwhelming majority of cosmetic skin problems experienced by middle-aged and older adults. We have found great success in reversing some of the photoaging skin changes by using the following products; sunscreens, retinoids, hydroxy acids, topical antioxidants, topical growth factors, and multivitamin supplements. Be sure to see the products we recommend for effective skin protection from the sun and other environmental damage.
