<p><strong>Chemical Peels</strong> are a chemical solution, usually TCA (trichloroacetic acid) which is applied to the skin,causing the skin to blister and peel off over a period of 5-10 days. As the treated skin peels off, new more fresh skin replaces it.Chemical peels are a suitable procedure for facial rejuvenation and diminishing the effects of sun damage.Works best on fair , thin skin with superficial wrinkles.</p>
<p><strong>Dermabrasion</strong> is a scraping of the top layers of the skin.This procedure softens edges of surface irregularities,including fine wrinkles and acne scars,especially around the mouth.The results are permanent, however new wrinkles may form as skin ages.</p>
<p><strong>Restylane and Juvederm Utra </strong>are injectable gels used as soft tissue fillers to treat wrinkles and fill lips. Both are composed of hyaluronic acid a substance found in all living organisms. No allergy skin tests are required.<br />These dermal fillers are often used in conjunction with <strong>Botox</strong> for optimum results, especially for rejuvenation of the upper face, and diminshing the appearance of frown lines. Both products last between 4-6 months.</p>
<p><strong>Juv&eacute;derm Ultra</strong> injectable gel is a gel consisting of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Therfore no allergy test is necessary before treatment. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or nasolabial folds-the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth. It is also used with much success for lip augmentation A Juv&eacute;derm treatment takes about 20-30 minutes and results are immediate. Plus, there's minimal recovery or downtime.</p>

Perlane is the newest member of the Restylane family of products and is made of stabilized hyaluronic acid gel particles. The primary difference between Restylane and Perlane is the larger hyaluronic acid gel particles are designed to provide volume and lifting power for effective deeper wrinkle correction.</p>
<p><strong>Radiesse</strong> fills acne scars and wrinkles,including frown lines and smile lines. It is composed of a synthetic compound. It is does not require allergy testing and can be injected in a simple office procedure.</p>
<p><strong>Sculptra</strong> is a long lasting filler used to fill sunken areas of the face,as well stimulate new collagen growth.It is made from Poly-L-lactic acid.</p>
