Fraxel Laser
This laser will improve skin tone and texture, and give the skin a more youthful appearance. It will reduce wrinkles around eyes, age spots, melasma, acne and surgical scars. It is a less aggressive form of skin resurfacing.
Patients use a topical anesthetic on the skin before the treatment and cold air is used on the treatment area during the procedure to minimize discomfort. After the treatment most patients report feeling similar to having too much sun. Downtime is minimal.
Redness and mild swelling should be expected following this treatment. Typically this laser is done in a series of 4 treatments, for optimal results.
Brown Spot Removal
Brown spots (also called sun spots, age spots, and liver spots) are common to encounter as we age. The laser removal of these spots is a simple cosmetic procedure that allows unwanted spots to be removed through a series of laser treatments. Extremely short pulses of highly-focused light energy are directed at the darkened area of the skin. When the correct wavelength of light and sufficient fluence (energy) is used, the dark cells will rapidly heat up, and then later they dry out and flake off.
Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis is a noninvasive, restorative treatment, designed to eliminate wrinkles, large pores, and splotchy redness; all while improving the skin’s texture and tone. All areas of the face, neck, and body can see dramatic results from a Genesis treatment. There is little to NO downtime. Immediately following the treatment you may return to work and resume all normal activity. This procedure is indicated for all skin types.
Laser Hair Removal
Excel HR offers the most advanced premium hair removal solution for all skin types.
Because hair grows in cycles, a series of treatments is necessary to reduce hair growth 80% or more. It is important that you do NOT wax or pluck the hairs before treatment however it is ok to shave the area.
You may have some redness on the treated areas following the treatment. This can be done quickly at our office with no downtime.
ThermiTight
ThermiTight is the name of a peer-reviewed protocol described as “thermistor-controlled subdermal skin tightening.” The ThermiRF system is used along with a tiny thermistor probe, which is inserted under the skin using local anesthesia, to heat subdermal tissues to a user-selected specific temperature. During the ThermiTight procedure, internal temperatures are monitored and regulated by the system computer.
In addition, advanced thermal image guidance provides the physician with real time external skin temperature monitoring to ensure presicion of the heating effect while maintaining safety. ThermiTight treatment areas include: neck, breasts, arms, abdomen, thighs and knees. This is a painless, single treatment solution. There is little to no downtime.
ThermiSmooth Face
ThermiSmooth Face is performed using a specially designed thermistor-regulated hand piece, which delivers precise heating to the skin’s surface. There are a series of treatments over 6-8 weeks that are gentle and patients often say it feels like receiving a warming massage. This is gentle heating using temperature controlled radiofrequency energy, to stimulate collagen remodeling.
This procedure is non-invasive and has no downtime. A series of 3-6 treatments are often needed for maximum results. ThermiSmooth Face treatment areas include: forehead, cheeks, eyes and mouth.
ThermiVa
Childbirth and the natural aging process cause changes which may affect feminine wellness. A particularly strenuous vaginal childbirth, or multiple births, can cause stretching of the vagina. The effects of menopause can also cause physical and functional changes, such as excessive dryness. Both situations can rob women (and their partners) of their sense of well-being and happiness.
ThermiVa treatments use radiofrequency energy to gently heat tissue to rejuvenate collagen, without discomfort or downtime. A recent study documented multiple benefits for patients who complained about vaginal laxity and other issues associated with vulvovaginal youthfulness and well-being.
Botox®/Dysport®
Botox and Dysport work by temporarily relaxing the muscles which cause frowning and undesired facial lines. Botox and Dysport are great for treating frown lines between the brows.
They are FDA approved for the treatment of glabellar frown lines and are also commonly used around the eyes and forehead. The treatment is quickly performed in the office with no downtime and usually lasts 3-6 months. Patients often notice that they appear more youthful and rested once their frown lines are gone.
Botox is also used for the symptoms of severe underarm sweating when medicines used on the skin (topical) do not work well enough in people 18 and older. Botox injections are expected to temporarily stop the production of excessive sweat in the treated areas only. Sweat continues to be produced elsewhere. This treatment typically lasts 6-9 months.
Both Botox and Dysport are derived from botulinum toxin Type A and are administered by a healthcare professional as a simple, nonsurgical treatment. Individually, they are injected directly into the muscles and work by blocking nerve impulses to the injected areas. Dr. Grevey and his staff can help you determine which product is right for you.
ALMI
ALMI (Autologous Lipocyte Micronized Injection) is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation procedure using your own tissues to restore volume, texture and tone. The all-natural procedure is a simple outpatient treatment that can turn back the clock in less than 45 minutes with minimal to no downtime for Face, Hands and Hair. When people get older and lose collagen, or even experience weight loss, volume is depleted and the structural support to your skin in lost. Your body slows collagen production in your mid-to late-20’s. By age 40, most people have up to 20% collagen loss and by age 50 30% collagen loss. In order to restore the volume to a younger state, the volume and structure must be rebuilt to have a more youthful appearance. Using a combination of the body’s regenerative cells and fat tissue, the ALMI offers complete rejuvenation and natural looking results without going under the knife. The ALMI Procedure is a nonsurgical treatment program that uses your own regenerative cells and fat tissue to address everything that happens to our skin with aging.
NovaThreads
NovaThreads is a synthetic absorbable surgical suture composed of polydioxanone. PDO sutures are used to perform cardiothoracic surgery (such as open-heart surgery). It’s one of the safest materials to be implanted in the body. Your skin fully absorbs it within 4 to 6 months and won’t leave you with any scar tissue. The NovaThreads are needles that are pre-loaded with a PDO threads. We simply insert the needle parallel to the surface of the skin and pull the needle out. The thread will remain under the skin. Our skin is very good at repairing itself, and by inserting PDO threads we make it ‘heal’ itself by creating new collagen, naturally. Although PDO threads can be inserted anywhere, one area they are especially effective is the neck and jawline. Call our office today for more information on this non-invasive, natural result treatment to treat loose and sagging skin.
Fillers
Restylane®, Perlane®, Juvéderm®, and Belotero® are used to treat unwanted lines and restore volume in the cheeks, lips and around the mouth. As we age, fat is lost and bone is resorbed, producing sagging skin and unwanted lines. Filling agents placed in the proper places can help restore your natural youthful volume. Fillers can be done quickly and there is no downtime.
Restylane and Perlane are both a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid that are specifically formulated to act like your body’s own hyaluronic acid. Used individually, they add volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth. Both Restylane and Perlane can also add fullness and definition to lips, providing natural-looking and lasting results with just one treatment. Restylane and Perlane can last up to 9-12 months and work immediately.
Juvéderm diminishes wrinkles around your mouth and nose with just one treatment, you’ll get smooth and natural-looking results that can last up to a year.
Belotero Dermal Filler has unique properties that allow it to adapt within the skin for soft and even correction. Belotero is versitile and is soft enough to treat delicate areas such as the thin lines that appear above the lip line and strong enough to handle deep treatment areas such as smile lines around the mouth. Belotero works instantly and can last up to 6 months.
Microneedling
Collagen P.I.N. is a Percutaneous Induction Therapeutic Micro-Needling Device that opens up a whole new horizon to skin treatments. It scientifically delivers the “flawless” results that were previously only attained from painful laser treatments or extensive surgery in many cases. Collagen P.I.N. is the next step in the scientific evolution of aesthetics. This evolutionary device has three times more needles than any other device on the market. New collagen and elastin production results in younger, healthier, plumper, and firmer skin, effectively reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars for an overall better tone and texture. This procedure can be done on the face, neck, decolletage, hands, arms, legs, abdomen, back, scars, stretch marks and much more!
Chemical Peels
Chemical peeling is a process whereby a chemical solution is applied to the surface of the skin to peel away the top cell layers which will be replaced during the healing process with a fresh, new skin surface.
Chemical peels can help with facial wrinkles, acne, acne scarring, excessive pigmentation, melasma, sun damaged skin, or for those who just want to achieve a more beautiful, glowing complexion. We offer many different types of chemical peels to better help meet your needs.
Call our office today to schedule a consultation to find out which peel would benefit you.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a technique that has been around for decades to treat spider veins and some smaller varicose veins. This procedure involves injecting a sclerosing solution directly into the small veins.
This irritates the blood vessel, causing it to seal off so blood can no longer pass through the vein. This procedure is very effective with minimal discomfort and essentially no downtime.
We recommend wearing a pressure bandage, such as pressure stockings, for 48 hours following the procedure. A series of treatments is often necessary to obtain maximum results.
Fractionated CO2 Laser
The Fractionated carbon dioxide laser removes layers of skin tissue in a fractionated method (columns of skin are removed, leaving the skin surrounding each column in tact to aid in healing) to treat the skin tone and texture, sun damaged skin, and age spots.
This procedure is performed in our office using topical and local anesthesia. Often the use of pain and or relaxation medications are utilized during the procedure. Typically one laser treatment will achieve the desired outcome.
Excel V Laser
Excel V is a new, state-of-the-art laser technology for treating vascular skin conditions such as Rosacea, spider veins, telangiectasias, leg veins, and pigmented lesions including sunspots. Excel V has the flexibility to treat superficial and deep vascular conditions as well as benign pigmented lesions. The Excel V Laser System uses a high power green laser to target abnormal blood vessels and pigment in the skin. As these vessels or pigment cells are targeted, they are eliminated and skin is returned to it’s natural color and tone. Excel V uses new cooling technologies which produce continuous cooling before, during and after the laser pulse. You can expect some redness and swelling following the procedure. This may last a few days, however you may cover the areas treated with make-up if you wish. This procedure is indicated for all skin types.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin from the upper and/or lower eyelids. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty improves puffy lower eyelid “bags” and reduces wrinkling of the skin.
When an advanced amount of upper eyelid skin is present, the skin may protrude over the eyelashes and cause a loss of peripheral vision. The outer and upper parts of the visual field are most commonly affected and the condition may cause difficulty with activities such as driving or reading.
In this circumstance, upper eyelid blepharoplasty is performed to improve peripheral vision. Both of these procedures can be done in our office utilizing local anesthetic.
After the procedure, patients can expect some bruising and/or swelling that will gradually improve the next week.
Brow Lift
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, minimizes the wrinkle lines that develop across the forehead, as well as those that occur on the bridge of the nose and between the eyes. This procedure improves what are commonly referred to as frown lines, and re-positions a low and sagging brow.
The brow lift procedure will also open the eyes for a more youthful appearance. This procedure is performed in our office using local anesthesia.
