Look Refreshed with RADIESSE®

Leave a reply

RADIESSE® Volumizing Filler is FDA-approved for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.  Patients can experience immediate results after a treatment, but also enjoy long-lasting benefits as RADIESSE® stimulates natural collagen production.

RADIESSE® Volumizing Filler is often used to target Five Key Areas of the face where many people experience aging concerns.

  1. Smile Lines
    Also called nasolabial folds, these creases run from each side of the nose to the outer corners of the mouth.  RADIESSE® Volumizing Filler can reduce the appearance of these lines for a more youthful looking smile.
  2. Corners of the Mouth
    Medically referred to as the oral commissures, this area of the face can begin to turn downward and sag with age.  RADIESSE® Volumizing Filler can plump this area and reduce the frowning effect caused by volume loss.
  3. Marionette Lines
    Facial lines that run from the outer corners of the mouth straight down to the chin often form when facial volume is depleted.  These lines can make you look unhappy or tired.  RADIESSE® Volumizing Filler replenishes collagen to this area for a more refreshed and vibrant appearance.
  4. Chin Wrinkles
    A horizontal line that forms across the chin is a facial characteristic that may be undesirable to some individuals as it can distract from the beauty of a great smile.  RADIESSE® Volumizing Filler can easily correct this wrinkle for a more confident glow.
  5. Pre-jowl
    The area on either side of the chin is called the pre-jowl sulcus. Aging-related facial volume loss can create sagging in other facial areas and causes hollowing of the pre-jowl area. RADIESSE® Volumizing Filler replenishes volume and lift in the pre-jowl area for a more youthful appearance.

DOT Therapy: Revolutionary Skin Resurfacing

Leave a reply

An innovative CO2 laser known as the SmartXide DOT by DEKA has created a skin renewal revolution.  With advanced fractional laser technology, DOT therapy delivers amazing results with significantly less downtime than other CO2 laser treatments.

Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing
The DOT fractional CO2 laser uses broken beams to make millions of tiny perforations in the skin.  This leaves some skin between the perforations that can act as a natural band-aid and help the treated skin heal more quickly than with traditional CO2 laser treatments.  Fresh, shiny new skin emerges after just a few days.

Stimulate Collagen Production to Reverse the Signs of Aging
DOT therapy improves the appearance of the skin by inducing a re-epithelisation process that stimulates the dermis to produce new collagen.  The result is skin that is incredibly smooth and elastic.  Heat delivered by the DOT laser causes some of the collagen bundles in the dermis to straighten for an immediate tightening effect.  Then 3-4 weeks after the procedure, skin cells will start to make new collagen for even greater skin tightening effects.

Precise and Selective Application
SmartXide DOT can be used to safely treat a wide variety of dermatological and aesthetic skin conditions.  Even the most delicate skin lesions and areas of concern, such as the neck and eyelids, can be successfully rejuvenated.  DOT therapy is the ideal solution for:

  • Wrinkles
  • Fine Lines
  • Acne Scars
  • Skin Lesions & Scars
  • Sun Damage
  • Sun Spots
  • Brown Spots
  • Skin Laxity
  • Texture

The Importance of Proper Facial Cleansing

The Importance of Proper Facial Cleansing

Midwest Vein Care offers a variety of aesthetic services in our office.  Patients are always thrilled with their results after a facial or anti-aging treatment and rightfully want their results to last. 

One of the best ways to preserve a beautiful glow is to maintain a consistent skincare regimen at home.

No matter your skin type, we always recommend that you wash your face EVERY morning and EVERY night!   You can consult one of our experienced aestheticians about the best products for your individual skincare concerns, but the twice-a-day cleansing routine is vital for everyone.

Why?
Twice daily facial cleansing is important for several reasons…

Cleansing in the morning sloughs away nighttime oil and debris. While you sleep, dead skin cells and excess oil or sebum accumulate on the surface of your skin.  Gentle morning cleansing with a quality product will dislodge the dead skin and oil so that you can start your day with a smooth, fresh face.

Regular cleansing promotes product effectiveness.  Products developed for various skincare concerns often need to be applied twice daily.  In order for these products to be most effective, they should be applied to a clean face so that the active ingredients can be properly absorbed into the skin.

Cleansing minimizes the appearance of pores. One of the most important reasons to wash your face is to remove the makeup, dead skin cells, oil, and pollution that have built up on your skin’s surface throughout the day.  Without proper cleansing, pores will become enlarged and clogged. 

Clean skin is able to breathe. Skin needs oxygen in order to repair itself.  This vital nutrient promotes the natural exfoliation process of the skin that occurs while you sleep.  Removing makeup and other buildup from the day allows more oxygen to reach the surface of the skin for optimum cell turnover.

Midwest Vein Care can help you maximize the effectiveness of your cleansing routine with excellent products and tools designed for your specific skincare needs.  Our product lines include SkinCeuticals®, JANMARINI Skin Research®, SkinMedica®, and Clarisonic®.
