For some women and men, the 30s and 40s are almost
more distressing than the years beyond- at least
where their complexions are concerned.
They see themselves in an alarming decline. Their
facial features and skin type happen to be
particularly sensitive to the early signs of aging.
For this population, there is a combination of
treatments that taken together – restore a rested
appearance. This combination therapy can ease lines
and wrinkles, restore volume, improve skin texture
and bring back that inner glow. The best part is
that there is no need for surgery.
The Problem is Threefold:
- Loss of collagen and elasticity
- Early deep wrinkles
- Exaggerated muscle tension
Since the condition has 3 identifiable sources, it
requires the use of 3 different modalities. The
following trio of treatments is showing extremely
positive results on these skin rejuvenation candidates.
FIRST--ActiveFX- Deep Tissue Remodeling
ActiveFX is the most sophisticated Skin Resurfacing
System (unique to Laser Cliniqúe), and the only
device to have FDA approval for stimulation of new
collagen.
Collagen adds volume and fullness to the
upper layers of the skin to provide better
elasticity and support for the skin. With
fractional facial resurfacing, a high-energy beam of
CO2 light is used to vaporize lines, wrinkles,
scars, dark spots and other irregularities, layer by
layer.
THEN -- Restylane- Filling Deep Lines and
Wrinkles
Now that the supporting layers of the skin has
replenished the collagen, the focus is on the
surface of the skin.
The target is the deeper lip lines, thinning lips,
nasolabial folds and other interruptions in the
smooth surface of the epidermis. Restylane has
become the gold standard for treating these
imperfections. This non-animal filler made up of
hyaluronic acid (a substance that naturally occurs
in the human body) can erase folds around the mouth,
plump furrows, frown lines and even soften hollows
under the eyes.
NEXT -- Botox- Muscle Relaxer
The deep wrinkles have been filled in, and
underlying volume is growing everyday.
But what about the muscles that have created all
these wrinkles in the first place? What about the
tension that subtly pulls the eyes toward the middle
of the face and results in that worried, pinched
look? Botox, the 'miracle injectable', adds the
final touch. This product relaxes the underlying
facial muscle, restoring tired facial features and
evening out the small, subtle wrinkles that take
away from an open, untroubled look.
"The 2 Step Approach"

Step 2: Botox, Restylane & LaserBrite Teeth
Whitening (can all be performed in 2nd office visit,
