Mechanism of Action:
Onabotulinumtoxin A is much more than a wrinkle cure, it allows the individual to age gracefully while looking their best and can treat conditions that in the past not even plastic surgery could remedy. As research and experiences expand we are sure to see its use in new applications.
How does it work?
In simplistic terms, the toxin blocks the nerve impulse that controls muscle movement by restricting the patient’s ability to contract the facial muscles. No contractions of the muscles = No movement of the skin lying over the muscle and no movement = No wrinkles. Onabotulinumtoxin A only works on “Dynamic Wrinkles” or “Wrinkles in Motion” (wrinkles caused by contraction of muscle).
Myths of Botox:
Onabotulinumtoxin A is a new drug – Not so, Onabotulinumtoxin A has been used for over 30 years.
Onabotulinumtoxin A is a poison – There is no live bacteria; it is a purified protein.
I will lose sensation and will have numbness where injected – Not so, it does not affect sensory nerves.
I will have a frozen look and loss of expression – with proper treatment the muscle will be relaxed and not frozen.
Hyaluronic acid is commonly used in moisturizers and cosmetics because of its efficiency at holding on to water. Some feel this is what makes it an ideal filler material. Even while a hyaluronic acid filler is being naturally degraded, what remains of the filler attracts water from the body. That function allows it to hold its shape even longer and able to maintain its volume until it is almost fully degraded. Because the body has its own system for absorbing hyaluronic acid, it disappears over time without a trace.
Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment that works to even skin tones, treat fine lines and wrinkles, scars, large pores and active acne. This heat-based laser uses the body’s natural processes to stimulate collagen growth to heal and replenish healthy skin tone and texture. This treatment is especially effective in treating rosacea and both acne and other scars. The treatment usually requires about 3-6 treatments, depending on the desired effects, but requires zero downtime or recovery.
What can be treated?
Acne, redness, Rosacea, large pores, scars, uneven skin textures, Angiomas, Port Wine Stains (PWS), Venous Lakes, facial veins, Poikiloderma, inflammatory acne, Lentigines, freckles, age/brown/sun spots, DPNs (Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra), skin tags, reduction of scars by cause of acne/surgery/burns, wrinkles, leg veins and hair removal.
How does Laser Genesis work?
Laser Genesis is a form of a non-ablative Nd:YAG laser that uses heat to kill bacteria on and under the skin, preventing future acne outbreaks. The heat also penetrates deep enough into the skin, to stimulate the natural production of collagen, which shrinks pores, evens skin tones, and increases the speed of cell turn over.
