    Microdermabrasion:

    What is Skin Resurfacing? Resurfacing is a technique for removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it supple and vibrant.

    The DiamondTome Wand removes a thin layer of skin by gently exfoliating the skin with natural diamond chips, while at the same time vacuuming the dead skin cells away in a sterile and controlled manner. Removing this outer layer of dead skin cells leaves a smoother texture and promotes the growth of healthy new skin cells.

    Resurfacing using a DiamondTome Wand is similar to particle microdermabrasion and chemical peels in its results but without the adverse effects of loose particles, irritation and skin reaction. Unlike other exfoliation treatments, the DiamondTome Skin Resurfacing System uses no loose abrasives to contaminate you or the environment.

    The Advantages of DiamondTome Wands

    Resurfacing is a wonderful alternative to laser or chemical peels because it is non-invasive, non-surgical and requires no down time after treatment. Normal activities may be resumed immediately. Microderm sucessfully targets photo-damaged areas, fine lines, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. Your skin will have a radiant glow, free of irritation and loose particles. Patients experience softer, smoother and cleaner skin after the first treatment. Treatment series vary from four to ten sessions depending on the condition being treated and the type of skin.

    • Approx. 1 hour
    • $120.00 Packages Available

     

    Rejuventation Treatment:

    Over time, damage from sun, life-styles, and habits accumulate and can make our skin look older than it is. Skin Rejuvenation is a wonderful option for treating the signs of aging. With a laser rejuvenation package, we're able to give you noticeably improved skin tone, texture and tightness. It is an innovative way to promote vibrant and healthy looking skin in men and women. Redness, brown spots, uneven texture, fine lines, wrinkles, premature signs of aging and sun damage are targeted by the lasers. You can have a more youthful appearance, and healthy complexion, as those minor imperfections are diminished. The individual treatments are subtle, but the overall effect of multiple treatments can be quite dramatic.

    VBeam

     Targets red facial discoloration, fine red vessels and blemishes at the skin's surface and below.

    GentleLASE

     Targets brown, sun, and age spots, improves pore size, texture and increases cell regeneration that stimulates new collagen for wrinkle reduction. Come in to review your options during a free consultation.

     

     

     

    Injection Treatments:

    Botox

    BOTOX ® is a medication that relaxes the muscles underneath the skin to create a smooth and refreshed appearance.

    How long does the procedure take?

    Generally, after the consultation, the procedure takes 15 minutes or less.

    How quickly does it work?

    It lasts 3-4 months on average but everyone is different. If you have your first three treatments promptly every three months (without waiting in between!), we expect that your next few treatments will start to last longer than three months. Patients who stay on a regular schedule can stabilize their treatments at approximately two times per year.

    How is it done?

    After the skin is cleaned, Botox ® is injected with a very tiny needle - much smaller than those used to take your blood, etc. A delicate insulin-type needle is used. The amount of Botox® injected varies with the area being treated.

    Does it hurt?

    Most patients say the injections feel similar to a little pinch, although everyone is different.

    Is it going to be worse when it wears off?

    No! Your face will not look worse if you stop using BOTOX ® or when it wears off. BOTOX ® "stops / slows" the clock of aging. When you stop getting treatments, the "aging clock" resumes and you will simply return to where you started. If you use BOTOX ® for a number of years and then stop - your muscles learn to relax. Therefore, you may end up looking a little better than when you originally started.

    How much does it cost?

    The cost of treatment varies with each patient. At Amherst Laser and Skin Care Center, we charge per unit of Botox®. A unit is a very tiny measurement of the drug. The number of units that YOU will need can be estimated during a consultation. FOR EXAMPLE, for a typical female who is interested in having her glaballer area treated (the area between the eyebrows); the cost is approximately $350-$400 per treatment.

     

    Juvederm Treatment 

         As we age, our skin produces less of a naturally hydrating substance called hyaluronic acid. The loss of hyaluronic acid in our skin results in facial wrinkles and folds.
         JUVÉDERM™ is a dermal filler for temporarily correcting moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. It is also commonly used to improve the volume and appearance of the lips. JUVÉDERM™ is a “next generation“ smooth gel, non-animal dermal filler offering a natural look/feel and long lasting results for up to six months or longer. JUVÉDERM™ dermal filler lasts long because it’s the only dermal filler currently available with the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid. This creates a smooth gel that flows easily into the skin, creating smooth, natural looks. Juvederm is the only hyaluronic acid that is FDA approved to last for up to a year.
         All other currently approved hyaluronic acid dermal fillers use a gel particle suspension formulation. These gel particles can be visibly seen as opposed to the smoother formulation used in JUVÉDERM™. The smooth consistency of JUVÉDERM™ dermal filler also may help to minimize the discomfort that can sometimes occur during the injection procedure.

    Before your Juvederm treatment:


    • Avoid using aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John's Wort, or high dose of Vitamin E supplements for one week prior to your treatment, because these may increase bruising or bleeding at the injection site.

    After your Juvederm treatment:


    • You may experience redness, swelling and bruising after your treatment, which is normal and will usually resolve within a few days.
    • You may apply 100% mineral makeup immediately after treatment.
    • The use of Arnica and Bromelain tablets is recommended following your treatment to minimize bruising and swelling.
    • You may experience tenderness in the treated area. Apply cold compresses to ease pain and minimize swelling.
    • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours after treatment
    • Avoid sun exposure and exposure to intense heat until redness or swelling is completely resolved.
    • Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas.

     

     

     

    LATISSE® Lashes:

     

    LATISSE® solution is a prescription treatment to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker.

     

    What is LATISSE®?

    LATISSE® solution is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker.

    How does LATISSE® work?

    LATISSE® is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase; and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase. The exact way it works is unknown.

    How do I apply LATISSE®?

    LATISSE® solution is a once-a-day treatment you apply yourself each evening to the base of the upper eyelashes. DO NOT APPLY in your eye or to the lower lid because excess hair growth outside the treatment area may occur. See the full instructions in How to Apply, and apply as instructed by your doctor.

    How soon will I see results?

    LATISSE® users may see results at 8 weeks with full results at 12 to 16 weeks. The growth is gradual overnight, over time.

    Is LATISSE® a replacement for mascara?

    It is not, though, lashes often appear as if you had mascara on.  You can also use mascara in addition to LATISSE®.

    What are the ingredients in LATISSE®?

    Active ingredient: bimatoprost
    Inactive ingredients: benzalkonium chloride; sodium chloride; sodium phosphate, dibasic; citric acid; and purified water. Sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid may be added to adjust pH. The pH during its shelf life ranges from 6.8 — 7.8.
