The skin is the largest organ in the body.
It also is our primary source of protection from our environment.
Many new technologies are now available to reverse and prevent
the effects of skin aging. Innovations MedSpa is on the
leading of edge of providing these technologies for our
patients. Trends in skin care are moving away from invasive treatments like skin ablation toward gentler, aesthetic treatments that are painless and involve minimal side effects. These new technologies allow us to offer a nonsurgical face lift technique, noninvasive cellulite treatment, and more. |

Nonsurgical options to look younger

June 20th, 2007
Skin aging produces the following
effects:
Thickening of the epidermis. The
epidermis is the outer layer of the skin. It is composed of dead
skin cells. When we are 18 years old, this layer is 0.3 millimeters
thick. By the time we are 50-60 years old, it is 0.9 mm thick.
This results in our skin appearing dull and scaly.
Thinning of the dermis.
This is the inner supporting layer of the skin. The dermis is
composed primarily of collagen. Collagen gives skin its elasticity
and texture. Loss of collagen results in loose skin and wrinkles.
Uneven pigmentation.
The pigment in our skin develops brown and dark spots. Sun damage
is the primary cause. This can be seen as the brown spots commonly
known as age spots. We can also see it as uneven skin color.
Changes in blood vessel size.
This results in skin redness and “spider veins.”
Innovations MedSpa provides technologies to address
these skin aging issues. Innovations MedSpa’s skin care
services also provide other important treatments. These include:
 |
Laser Aging Prevention and Wrinkle Reduction
Aramis laser treatments stimulate collagen renewal and remodeling in the living layer of the skin called the dermis. Loss of collagen is one of the primary causes of wrinkles and aging skin. Aramis laser treatments therefore provide a nonsurgical "face lift" to improve the appearance of your skin.
Reversal – 4 treatments
Maintenance – every 6-12 months
(Repeated maintenance helps prevent further effects of aging
skin.) |
Laser-Active Acne Treatment
Aramis laser treatments shrink sebaceous glands
and reduce skin oiliness. Mild and moderate acne can be effectively
treated without the side effects of drugs such as Accutane.
Reversal – 6 treatments
Maintenance – every 3-12 months
Acne
Scar Reduction
(Includes Laser & Medical Microdermabrasion)
Aramis laser treatments combined with microdermabrasion can improve
the appearance of acne scars. Building collagen at the base of
the scars improves their appearance. Even old scars respond well.
Chemical peels are often added to enhance the effect. Many other
scars also respond well to this treatment.
Reversal – 4-6 treatments
Maintenance – usually not necessary

Photofacial – Spots
& Spider Vein Removal
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) evens out the color
and tone of skin. By targeting hemoglobin and melanin, IPL removes
brown and red spots. Small spider veins and flat “age spots”
also respond well. The procedure provides the best results when
followed up with microdermabrasion after about a week.
Reversal – 4 treatments
Maintenance – 12-36 months
Youth-Capturing
Injections
Injections contain safe and proven medical
products to enhance the appearance of skin and reduce wrinkles.
They can also greatly reverse the appearance of aging on
skin. Wrinkles on the forehead and eye areas respond well
to BOTOX® Cosmetic injections. The effects last 3-6
months. Deeper wrinkles and those on the lower face and
mouth respond well to filler injections such as Restylane,
which lasts 9-12 months. |

Complete Skin Fitness Package

BOTOX® Cosmetic injections can enhance the effect. The skin
fitness package does for the skin what exercise, weight and cholesterol

Stretch
Mark Reduction
Aramis laser combined with microdermabrasion builds collagen at
the base of stretch marks and improves their appearance. Even
old stretch marks respond well.
Reversal – 4 treatments
Maintenance – usually not necessary
 |
Medical
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion
utilizes small particles to smooth the skin’s surface
and equalize skin tone. Medical-grade skin peels are often
added to enhance the effects. Innovations MedSpa uses well-trained
skin care professionals for the best results.
Reversal package – 4 treatments
Acne scars – 4-6 treatments
Maintenance – every 2-3 months |
Medical-Grade
Facial Peels
Facial peels remove the outer, “dead”
layers of the skin or epidermis. This allows the epidermis to
become more permeable to nutrients. In addition, peels help reduce
fine lines, smooth the skin, reduce the appearance of scars, and
give a softer, suppler appearance to skin. They also reduce uneven
pigmentation. Medical peels are only available under physician
supervision.
Reversal – 4 treatments;
Maintenance – every 6 months
Laser
Hair Reduction
The MeDioStar
laser can perform permanent hair reduction on all skin types
and body areas. Darker hairs respond better. Since each hair
follicle contains 3-7 hairs, multiple treatments are necessary
for optimal results. Medical evaluation is important for unusual
hair growth patterns.
Removal – 6 treatments
Maintenance – not necessary |

Moisturizers,
cleansers, facial peels and sunscreens available from physicians
