The New Face of Aesthetic Medicine Today's minimally invasive, office-based procedures offer appearance enhancement minus the downtime linked with surgery. Overworked, aging baby boomers have bolstered this trend in their quest to delay or reverse the hands of time. Those at the forefront of aesthetic medicine are familiar with the promises and pitfalls of any new technology. Ultimately, the most impressive improvements in aging skin stem from the blended use of various modalities. Aging prompts unwelcome changes. Over time, skin texture is adversely affected due to stimulation of pigment from sun exposure and thickening of the stratus corneum (outermost layer of skin). Chemical peels, microdermabrasion, photo rejuvenation, laser peels, and physician-grade cosmeceuticals are optimal solutions. Wrinkles, depending upon depth, respond to topical creams, Botox, facial fillers, or laser resurfacing. Eventually, skin that loses elasticity and accumulates facial fat can be renewed with Thermage for firming, facial fillers for volume restoration, and threads for elevation of saggy skin. The integration of different therapies works best to reverse age-related changes and rejuvenate appearance with minimal to no downtime. By themselves, each treatment yields focused enhancement. In combination, they produce dramatic results comparable to those seen with expensive surgical procedures. Get Head-to-Toe Enhancement with Thermage Thermage, sometimes referred to as the "nonsurgical lift," tightens loose facial skin. But it is also increasingly utilized to firm lax skin on the arms, legs and abdomen. Astounding results have led many investigators to believe Thermage's future extends far beyond facial contouring to body shaping and skin tightening procedures. The Contour Thread: A Lift Without Surgery Contour Threads™, soon to join our rejuvenation lineup, lift and realign the brow, mid face and neck, to reduce mild laxity of facial skin. Performed under local anesthesia, the Contour Thread offers dramatic, enduring enhancement with minimal downtime. This procedure may be done in conjunction with volume augmentation of the mid and lower face for even more spectacular results. Mesotherapy: A Custom Solution for a Multitude of Problems Mesotherapy, developed in Paris, dates back to the 1950s. Today, this natural-medicine treatment for face and body has evolved into a more mainstream solution for excess body fat and cellulite. The exciting mesolift tightens facial skin and mesoglow refines skin texture. The Meso-gun, an advanced delivery system, has significantly increased levels of comfort and efficacy over previous manual methods.
