1. Botox

Botox is the most popular cosmetic treatment in the world. The leader of anti-aging skin care relaxes the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkling (also known as expression lines.) Botox is primarily used to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles that form around the eyes (crow’s feet) the brow (frown lines) and forehead wrinkles. Results typically last between 3 to 4 months.

2. Soft Tissue Fillers

Soft Tissue Fillers consist of volumizing substances that fill in fine lines and wrinkles (especially those around the mouth and nose,) plump up areas with age-related volume loss, and augment facial features such as lip injections. The most popular substance for soft tissue fillers is Hyaluronic Acid, such as those from the Juvederm collection line. The result can last from 6 months to 24 months, depending on the filler.

3. Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels resurface the skin by exfoliating the top layer of dead skin cells. This reveals the younger, more vibrant layer of skin that lies below and triggers cellular renewal. Chemical peels consist of various formulas, each designed for a specific cosmetic concern. Popular main ingredients include Hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and retinol (a powerful anti-aging treatment for wrinkles.)

4. Laser Hair Removal

Smooth, bare skin is associated with youth. That’s why men and women reduce unwanted body hair with Laser Hair Removal. The gold standard in permanent hair reduction, Laser Hair Removal destroys the hair follicle to disable further hair growth. Popular treatment areas include the legs, arms, chest, back, shoulders, and bikini area.

5. Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion uses the same mechanism of action to stimulate cellular renewal as chemical peels, however this anti-aging treatment sprays tiny crystals onto the skin to exfoliate the top layer of skin.

6. IPL Photofacials

IPL Photofacials are popular anti-aging treatments used to diminish brown spots that appear after a lifetime of UV exposure. Photofacials work by using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to break up the melanin that accumulates from sun damage. By fracturing the melanin into smaller pieces, the body can absorb the particles, allowing the brown spot to gradually disappear. Typically, several treatments are needed for optimal results.

7. Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing uses thermal energy to heat the deeper layers of tissue below the skin’s surface. This triggers a natural healing response and the body creates more collagen and elastin. Laser skin resurfacing is ideal for diminishing the signs of aging and improving skin tone and texture.

8. Vein Removal

Non-surgical Vein Removal can be performed in two ways. Laser vein removal uses thermal energy to coagulate the blood vessel responsible for causing an unsightly spider vein. This stops the vessels blood supply, causing it to collapse and disintegrate. Sclerotherapy also causes unsightly varicose veins to clot, collapse, and disintegrate, but instead of a laser, it uses a chemical solution injected into the vessel.

9. Body Contouring

Skin is not the only indicator of age. Fat deposits that resist diet and exercise also make us look older. CoolSculpting is the #1 non-invasive fat reduction treatment in the world. It uses precisely controlled cooling to freeze fat cells. Once frozen, fat cells are collected and processed out of the body for long-lasting reductions in fat.

10. Skin Tightening

Loose and lax skin is a common indicator of age. Non-invasive skin tightening employs various energies (such as lasers, radiofrequency, ultrasound, or a combination of these) to heat up the deep layers of dermal tissue. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, the structural proteins that keep our skin firm and in place.
