How It WorksDuring the procedure, a sclerosing solution is injected into the vein through a micro-needle. The tiny needle generally causes very little pain.
The sclerosing solution causes the vein to blanch (turn white), then gradually disappear. A typical treatment may last for 15 to 20 minutes and consist of multiple injections. Injection sclerotherapy may eliminate the need for an invasive surgical procedure.
Botox® Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that temporarily reduces moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. During treatment, very low doses of BOTOX Cosmetic are administered via tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause the lines. The treatment is usually done in about 10 minutes, and no recovery time is needed.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is the latest scientific method of treatment for damaged skin. Micronized (very fine) crystals derived from minerals are used to remove dead and flaking skin cells. In the hands of an experienced technician, an instrument directs this stream of crystals onto the skin and as the skin cells are abraded, a small vacuum removes the crystals along with the upper, outermost layer of the skin. This results in the production of collagen and new skin cells.
Microdermabrasion has been found to improve many unsightly surface conditions that have previously required several different treatments. As a result, microdermabrasion requires less time and less discomfort. Recovery time is rapid and any normal activities can be resumed immediately. Microdermabrasion is safe and effective on most parts of the body and if desired can be used in conjunction with other procedures as well. Some skin improvements include the removal and reduction of age spots, diminishing of wrinkles and fine lines removal of blackheads and whiteheads, reduction of acne scars, improvement of dull and rough skin, and fresher, younger looking skin.

Chemical Peels
Chemical peels have been used for over 100 years to create an even and controlled shedding of damaged skin cells. Each year thousands of these treatments are performed in the United States, including Beverly Hills and Los Angeles. A chemical peel is applied to the skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new skin cells. It tightens the skin, reduces wrinkling, and restores a more youthful appearance. Chemical peels are applied to the skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new ones. They can effectively improve a wide variety of skin conditions including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven pigmentation
- Shallow acne scars
- Sun-damaged skin
- Age spots
- Freckling
A chemical peel is not a substitute for a face lift or a brow lift. It cannot correct excessively wrinkled or sagging skin. But, in many cases a chemical peel is performed in conjunction with these procedures. Ask your skin care consultant about a VISIA Complexion Analysis, which enables us to design rejuvenation and skin care programs for your specific complexion.
