Aesthetic Services
Aesthetic Medicine comprises all medical procedures that are aimed at improving the physical appearance and satisfaction of the patient, using non-invasive to minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. The Aesthetic Medicine specialty is not confined to dermatologists and plastic surgeons as doctors of all specialties seek to offer services to address their patient's aesthetic needs and desires. Some Aesthetic Medicine procedures are performed under local anesthesia while some procedures don't require anesthetics at all.
The exciting field of Aesthetic Medicine is a new trend in modern medicine. Patients not only want to be in good health, they also want to enjoy life to the fullest, be fit and minimize the effects of normal aging. Indeed, patients are now requesting quick, non-invasive procedures with minor downtime and very little risk. As a general rule, the needle is increasingly replacing the scalpel.

Botulinum Toxin Injections
Botulinum Toxin (Botox) injections are shots that use a toxin to prevent a muscle from moving for a limited time. These shots are often used to smooth wrinkles on the face. They're also used to treat neck spasms, sweating, overactive bladder, lazy eye and other conditions. Botox shots also may help prevent migraine attacks. Botox injections work by weakening or paralyzing certain muscles or by blocking certain nerves. The effects last about three to twelve months, depending on what you are treating.
The medicine in Botox injections is made from the same toxin that causes a type of food poisoning called botulism. But the forms of purified botulinum toxin used by licensed health care providers meet medical control standards. These standards were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. As a rule, the bacteria toxins used for medical purposes are not harmful if used correctly. The most common use of these injections is to relax the facial muscles that cause frown lines and other facial wrinkles. Botox injections also are used to ease symptoms of some health conditions such as neck spasms, cerebral palsy, overactive bladder, lazy eye, sweating, and migraines.
It’s important to note that Botox injections are usually safe when you’re under the care of a licensed and skilled health care provider. The procedure can result in unwanted results or even cause harm if it’s given incorrectly. Possible side effects and unwanted results include pain, swelling or bruising at the injection site, headache or flu-like symptoms, droopy eyelids or crooked eyebrows, a crooked smile or drooling, watery or dry eyes, infection at the injection site. Rarely, the medicine may spread to parts of the body where it isn’t supposed to go.
Dermal Fillers
Injectable filler is a soft tissue filler injected into the skin at different depths to help fill in facial wrinkles, provide facial volume, and augment facial features: restoring a smoother appearance. Most of these wrinkle fillers are temporary because they are eventually absorbed by the body. Dermal filler injections are a type of nonsurgical cosmetic procedure. Dermal fillers plump up wrinkles, smooth lines and restore volume in your face. Your healthcare provider injects these substances just under your skin.
People choose to get dermal fillers to enhance their facial features or gain a more youthful appearance. This elective treatment usually takes less than half an hour, and recovery time is minimal. Results are seen right away and last months to years depending on the type of filler and the location.
There are several kinds of dermal fillers. We use Hyaluronic Acid which is a naturally occurring acid in your skin. It gives your skin volume and keeps it hydrated. With age, your body stops making hyaluronic acid. Results from HA injections usually last six months to a year. As with any cosmetic procedure, there are risks, including infection, bleeding and bruising. Health insurance plans generally don’t cover elective cosmetic procedures such as filler injections.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
Acoustic wave therapy (AWT), also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment method that uses mechanical stimulation to encourage natural healing processes in the body. It is gaining popularity in the field of aesthetic medicine for its ability to help with facial tightening, provide a facial lift, and to help with wrinkles and fine lines. It has also been shown to benefit the body, such as for sculpting, tightening, and improving cellulite.
Shockwave therapy is used in aesthetics to treat cellulite. It is specifically used to reduce the orange peel effect of the skin. Shockwave therapy is one of the new, non-invasive treatments that are increasingly being used in the aesthetics field. In aesthetic medicine, shockwave therapy is also used for accelerating healing processes, scars, improving skin elasticity, firming muscle and connective tissue, wrinkles, and stretch marks after pregnancy.

EMSlim Body Sculpting
EMSlim BodySculpting is a non-surgical procedure that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to trigger supramaximal contractions in the muscles of the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. This procedure is FDA-cleared to treat and improve the appearance of different parts of the body, mostly abdomen, thighs, buttocks and arms.
The procedure has been scientifically proven to build muscle, improve diastasis recti, and reduce inches of unwanted fat. In fact, a recent study reported that a 20% increase in abdominal muscle thickness was observed on average in treated clients, as well as a 25% reduction of subcutaneous fat 1-2 months after four to six HI-EMT body sculpting treatments.
EMSlim is like doing 20,000 sit-ups or squats in just 30 minutes. The treatment is extremely effective for fat reduction and muscle toning, making it ideal for clients who want to redefine their bodies with maximum results. It’s advanced ability to burn through fat makes EMSlim a perfect choice for clients with a little more fat to shift . EMSlim is suitable for both men and women.
Bio-Identical Hormone Restoration
Hormone response is as unique to each person as their own fingerprints. We age because our hormones decline. Hormonal decline is a normal result of years of aging. Normal laboratory values do not necessarily mean that hormone levels are optimal. Our goal is to restore hormone levels to the normal physiological level of a younger individual. We need to provide the protective benefits hormones induce to the entire body. Once we correct imbalance, symptoms will usually resolve; “autoregulation” of our bodies. We dose our patient’s symptoms not the laboratory results. If laboratory values are “optimal” and symptoms persist then there is something out of balance.
Restoring more youthful levels of all hormones will result in:
Bio-Identical Hormone Restoration Therapy (BHRT) is a medical treatment that is gaining popularity in the aesthetic industry. According to Dr. David Eccleston, a renowned aesthetic practitioner, BHRT is a great way for aesthetic clinics to add more value to existing patients. BHRT is a customized hormone replacement therapy that uses plant-based hormones to return hormone levels to the optimal range for patients. BHRT has been shown to be effective in treating various symptoms of aging, including skin aging. However, it is important to note that BHRT should only be administered by licensed medical professionals and after thorough consultation with the patient.
