hello spring makeover

• April 1, 2019

Hello flowers! Hello sunshine! Hello sweet orange blossom! Hello bees buzzing! Hello beautiful skin!
No more hiding and no more worrying about harsh weather conditions that could make our skin red, dry or grey.
Time to dust off our winter skin and renew in the glory of rebirth! For a spring makeover, just step into the clinic where a variety of non-invasive procedures are waiting to transform you from a caterpillar into a butterfly.
Here are some of the latest and most popular dermatologic procedures that Dr. Costi recommends to rejoice in the new season.

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers (Restylane and Juvéderm)
While some wrinkles can be treated by relaxing the underlying muscles, other wrinkles (like those around the mouth and nose) are best treated with facial fillers. Hyaluronic acid is the most common material used for these fillers, and when injected into an area, the liquid filler “fills in” the wrinkles and creates a more youthful look. Some hyaluronic acid facial fillers can also be used to restore youthful volume under the eyes, in the tear troughs, and in the cheeks.
Ask also about our Jawline filler to enhance the volume in your face.

Non-Surgical Fat Reduction
As a non-surgical alternative to liposuction (not an alternative to weight loss), non-surgical fat reduction reduces fat in targeted, specific areas to give the body a slimmer, more defined contour. Dr. Costi offers a variety of fat reduction choices including CoolSculpting, Kybella and Ultrasound.

Laser Hair Removal
While shaving, waxing, sugaring, and plucking can remove unwanted hair, the temporary results make for a time-consuming (and sometimes expensive) upkeep regimen. That’s why long-term hair removal with laser treatments or electrolysis is so high up on the list of popular procedures.
We periodically have discounts on this procedure, so check out our monthly special offers.

Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is a versatile treatment that reduces fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven pigmentation, and more. The procedure uses a customized solution that penetrates the skin and helps your body exfoliate away damaged surface skin, revealing brighter, younger skin beneath.
This is also used to help with scars, acne as well as stretch marks.

Microdermabrasion
Probably the most popular dermatologic procedure at the clinic.
This minimally invasive treatment “buffs” away dead skin cells and damaged surface skin to reduce acne, scarring, age spots, fine lines, and uneven skin texture.

Fractionated Laser Skin Resurfacing
Skin resurfacing is primarily done with this minimally invasive yet still highly successful alternative, fractionated laser resurfacing. This treatment uses small laser columns to create tiny treatment zones that spread their rejuvenating effects over the entire area.

Micro-Botox
According to Dr. Costi, micro-Botox is the new trend in dermatologist offices next year.
It is injected more superficially, in the dermal layer of skin, and in smaller quantities than a normal Botox treatment. This works to decrease pore size, smooth skin and decrease oil production. Dr. Costi says that micro injections are done in areas where skin wrinkles have been shown to stimulate the body’s production of collagen for a longer-lasting effect.

PRP
PRP is all about stimulating our own cells to naturally reverse some of the signs of aging.
This can be done with injections (small amounts of fillers are injected into and under the skin), or with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for an kick in collagen building, cell growth as well as better hair health when injected into the scalp.

Nonsurgical rhinoplasty
Non-surgical nose jobs are increasing.
Fillers can be used to subtly improve the shape of the nose—and although not permanent, it is a less-expensive option than a traditional rhinoplasty.
When compared to rhinoplasty, Dr. Costi says that nonsurgical nose jobs can’t make a nose smaller, but they can be very successful to correct imperfections and camouflage areas that are concerning to patients.
You must check with the Doc to see if it would be suitable for your personal case.

Threads
“The practice of lifting the face and body with threads is new and improved and here to stay,” says Dr. Day. “Threads work well because they stimulate collagen. The material of the thread itself can be made of a material that acts as a foreign substance to the body in order to stimulate collagen growth, or the thread may have changes in the surface of the thread (barbs cones or knots) that will catch onto the skin. When the doctor places the thread and positions the skin over it, it looks great immediately and over time (there is a lifting effect that continues to improve).”

Vaginal rejuvenation
Yes it’s true! There’s no point in hiding that many women require this procedure.
It’s accomplished through the use of lasers that help to tighten skin by stimulating collagen. These in-office procedures are providing some patients with both medical and cosmetic benefits.

Whatever the case, a little bit of time invested in your self can avoid a lot of time trying to repair the signs of aging. So why not go ahead and get your spring makeover!

The treatments above are all options that have given thousands of patients great results. However, to find out the best way to treat your specific cosmetic needs, just schedule an appointment with Dr. Costi through his app, his website or by calling the clinic.
