Exfoliating and Feeding Your Skin

What's one of the most basic ways to achieve bright smooth skin? Actually, it's as simple as exfoliation. By removing dead surface skin cells, skin breathes better, stays healthier, maintains hydration at a higher level and accepts topically applied nourishment up to 10X more efficiently.

The skin needs to be fed just as the body is fed. Amino acids, peptides and hyaluronic acid are very effective tissue nourishment factors and can make some fairly dramatic improvements in how your skin looks. Dr. Sikorski's patients routinely rave about theBioSerum
BioSerum Restorative 7-Day Program. To facilitate the best absorption and response of this unique blend of "skin food" we're including (at no cost to you) a full microdermabrasion treatment valued at $150.


This preparatory microdermabrasion treatment (we use the crystal free diamond tip Ellipse system) sets the stage for ultra absorption of active ingredients that will plump, protect and help restore skin's healthy appearance. Microdermabrasion unclogs pores, decongests your skin, stimulates blood flow and seriously smoothes the skin.

Diamond Microdermabrasion  - Priceless (included at no cost with purchase of BioSerum - value $150)

Artefill is the only FDA approved multi-year filler on the market. A suspension of microscopic spheres immediately fills deep folds and lines and can be used for acne scars as well. Bovine Collagen is the carrier gel for the spheres so you'll need to have a sensitivity test (included in the costs) 3 weeks prior to your injection.

Artefill is known to last for 5 years or more and is, for all practical purposes, a permanent filler. The tiny beads are referred to as "nonresorbable" which means that they are not broken down by the body and remain permanently in the skin. Your own natural collagen replaces the injected bovine collagen so much of the effect is actually your own new support tissue that keeps the folds and lines from reappearing.

Collagen for Lips
Fine Line and Lip Collagen Filler

Why Collagen is still one of the best


Over 20 years ago bovine collagen came on the market. Women were thrilled with an instant and virtually painless way to alleviate lines and wrinkles and add a little pout to their lips. They were willing to put up with sensitivity tests, waiting periods and short-lasting effects. Now we have test-free collagens that still "thrills" and lasts about twice as long.

Collagen is unique. It's an actual structural product which instantly fills fine lines and is very well adapted for restoring the lip border. Because collagen does not rely on water absorption like the hyaluronic acids, post-injection swelling is practically nonexistent. Cosmoplast and Cosmoderm are considered "camera-ready" fillers because of this advantage.

This Summer until Labor Day, our patients can enjoy this wonderful dermal filler at half off the regular price. Now just $300 per syringe. Collagen doesn't last forever - 6 months is the average - but having sexy lips or less wrinkles is a nice way to spend those months.

Laser Hair Removal
Hair Laser

 
Summer's the time when dealing with body hair is a much more time-consuming job. Shorts, halter tops, swimsuits...when you skip a dew days' shaving, it shows.

Laser hair removal is one good way to permanently reduce hair growth and thickness. However, because hair lasers target pigment, it's really important that the laser used on your skin is a laser that won't burn or leaves scars. Ethnic skin is particularly sensitive to laser energy and is more susceptible to adverse effects during hair laser treatments. The right laser and the right energy settings are mandatory to get the best results and get them safely.

We use a dual wavelength, multi-skin type laser, the GentleMax laser by one of the major aesthetic companies, Candela Laser. The GentleMax is a top of the line, fast laser that can be used for hair removal, veins and even pigmentation. Super short laser bursts cushioned by super-cooling help prevent overheating or bruising. The dual wavelengths of the GentleMax mean anyone can safely have laser hair removal - even those with a tan!
