FRAXEL® DUAL LASER

Never before has laser skin resurfacing been so safe, effective and easily tailored to your skin type and aesthetic needs. The latest technology in skin resurfacing, the Fraxel® dual laser, combines deep and superficial wavelengths of light to address multiple concerns in one treatment

The 1550 setting targets fine lines and wrinkles, while tightening skin to leave a younger appearance. It is also capable of minimizing scarring from acne, trauma or surgical procedures.

The more superficial, 1927 setting gives skin a brilliant glow by removing age spots and sun damage. This unique, dual technology, enables customization of treatments, based on our patient’s specific needs.

  • Vertical furrows between the eyes
  • Horizontal forehead lines
  • Crows feet
  • Vertical lines around the mouth
  • Wrinkle on the nose
  • Wrinkles around the mouth
  • Masseter muscles
  • Chin
  • Platysmal bands
  • Lip flip

DERMAL FILLERS

JUVEDERM® | VOLUMA® |VOLBELLA® |VOLLURE® | VOLUX® |BELLAFILL® | SKINVIVE®

Fillers are injectable gels that temporarily add volume and contour to the skin. We offer a wide range of both Hyaluronic acid and PMMA/Collagen fillers that are specifically tailored to our patient’s needs.

Common areas to inject are:

  • Prominent nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Sunken cheek bones
  • Thinning lips
  • Scars
  • Tear troughs
  • Temporal hollows
  • Chin
  • Jawline

Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers include Juvederm Ultra XC®, Juvederm Ultra Plus XC®, Voluma®, Volbella®, Vollure®, Volux® and Skinvive®. These are temporary fillers that commonly last 9 to 12 months. Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin and does not require prior allergy testing.

Bellafill® is a semi-permanent filler using a combination of collagen gel and biocompatible PMMA microspheres. The collagen works by adding immediate volume while the PMMA creates a matrix to stimulate your body’s own collagen production. Lasting five years, it is one of the longest lasting fillers available. Bellafill® requires a skin test to identify patients who may be allergic to bovine collagen.

Only board certified dermatologists with extensive training in administering dermal fillers provide this service to our patients, offering a combined 25+ years of experience.

KYBELLA®

Many patients are frustrated by the appearance of fullness under the chin, which is often referred to as “double chin." This is a difficult area to improve with weight loss alone.

Kybella® is a safe, effective treatment to reduce unwanted fat under the chin. It is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the digestion and absorption of unwanted fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, it causes destruction of fat cells. The destroyed cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. Most patients experience visible results within two to four treatments

Each treatment is administered 6-8 weeks apart, and the results are permanent. Mild swelling, bruising, discomfort, numbness and redness are common.

ACNE SCARRING

Acne scarring can be an emotionally distressing condition for patients. Our board certified dermatologists understand this and will start by addressing and treating any active outbreaks. Acne scarring is complex and often needs combined therapies such as laser resurfacing with our Fraxel® dual laser system, filler agents such as Bellafill +/- subscisions, Secret RF® microneedling, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments. Let our experienced physicians choose the best treatments for you.

TRAUMATIC AND SURGICAL SCAR REVISION

While most scars become less visible over time, some scars can be problematic. The appearance and sensation of scars can be improved through a variety of methods including topical agents, therapeutic injections, laser therapy and surgical scar revision.

SPIDER VEIN TREATMENTS

The Cutera Excel V™ laser is a safe and effective treatment for unwanted veins. This fast and easy procedure uses cutting edge technology to comfortably fade the unwanted vessels after 1-3 treatments. The laser uses specific wavelengths of light to target oxyhemoglobin in your vessels. This transfer of heat ultimately causes destruction and resolution of the unwanted vessels yielding maximal results with minimal down time.

Laser treatments are often combined with sclerotherapy to improve results. Asclera® is a sclerosant solution that is injected in small leg veins. After injection, the solution displaces the blood and irritates the inside of the blood vessel.

The body creates an inflammatory response that destroys the damaged vessel. Blood flow is redirected to healthy vessels.

Mild swelling and bruising can occur with the treatment, and patients are encouraged to wear compression stockings for a short period of time following treatment

A consultation with your board certified dermatologist will determine which treatment or combination of treatments is best for you.

FACIAL REDNESS TREATMENT

Whether you suffer from rosacea or have diffuse redness from sun damage, facial redness can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. Topical creams and oral medications often fall short of targeting redness, flushing and dilated facial vessels. Fortunately, the cosmetic dermatologists at ASCS can help you to find the best combination of therapies

Lasers deliver energy to the skin which is absorbed by blood vessels, scars, port wine stains, and other vascular lesions. Multiple treatments are required for optimal results. The physicians at ASCS use cutting edge laser technology including the Cutera Excel V™ laser. Schedule a consultation to learn more about treating facial redness.

DIAMONDGLOW FACIAL®

DiamondGlow is a skin treatment that combines microdermabrasion and a customized serum infusion to improve the appearance of the skin. The treatment begins with a consultation to determine the best serum infusions and level of exfoliation for the patient. Using precise strokes on the skin, the DiamondGlow handpiece allows for simultaneous exfoliation of the top layer of skin, extraction of debris in pores, and infusion of nourishing serums. This triple process removes dead skin cells, unclogs and cleans pores, and plumps skin.

The serums chosen are based on the specific skin concerns of the individual and may contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants to help nourish and hydrate the skin. Overall, DiamondGlow is designed to improve the texture, tone, and overall appearance of the skin. It is a non-invasive treatment that can be done in about 30 minutes and requires no downtime.

3. DERMAPLANING Add On

Dermaplaning is a manual, physical exfoliation technique that safely and efficiently removes surface debris with a dermaplaning blade. The dermaplaning blade is held against taut skin at a 45-degree angle and stroked in a manner similar to shaving. The primary benefit of dermaplaning is exfoliating dead skin cells and the secondary benefit includes the removal of fine facial hair (peach fuzz.) This treatment has many benefits and is quick, safe and effective with no downtime. For optimal smooth skin results, repeat treatments are recommended every three-four weeks.

 

 

 

LASER HAIR REMOVAL

The Aesthetic Collaborative is proud to offer cutting-edge laser technology using the CUTERA EXCEL HR SYSTEM for removal of unwanted hair anywhere on your body. Typical areas include around the mouth, lower face, armpits, backs, bikini areas, and legs. We can better define hairlines, give you a clean bikini line and even go for a full Brazilian if you dare. Men are welcome too.

We have the safest technology to treat all skin types and color. We only ask that you come in for treatment without any recent tanning as this pigmentation is very superficial in the skin and difficult to treat through, thus creating the risk of a burn or blister. No fake tans either! We can truly treat the fairest skin and the darkest skin all with great safety and effectiveness.

The usual range is 6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The reason for this is that laser energy only treats hairs that are in the active growth phase and all of those treated in a single visit are not destroyed. In general, you will see a 50% reduction of hairs with each treatment. We then need 4-6 weeks to allow the hairs that recover to begin regrowing and join with those dormant hairs returning to active growth phase in order to be available for the next treatment.

These systems are FDA approved for hair reduction. Over the years we have found very good clearing and control for years after the treatment series. Over a lifetime there are actually new hair follicles appearing in hair-bearing areas, but ones that have been treated are gone for good. Repeat treatments are usually only for those new stragglers that appear over time. Individual results may vary so please schedule a consultation with our team today.
