Latisse

 LATISSE® solution is a growth treatment for hypotrichosis (inadequate or not enough eyelashes). In fact, it’s the only FDA-approved treatment clinically proven to grow lashes. And it’s the only lash growth product of its kind available by prescription. So you’ll need to talk to your doctor to see if it’s right for you.

LATISSE® makes lash growth possible because of its active ingredient: bimatoprost. Although the precise mechanism of action is unknown, LATISSE® is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase, and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase.

LATISSE® was created by Allergan. In 2001, Allergan developed a medicated eye drop to treat elevated intraocular pressure. Many patients using this medication also began to grow longer, fuller and darker lashes as a side effect. This led Allergan to study the medication’s active ingredient, bimatoprost, specifically for growing lashes. After a clinical trial, LATISSE® was approved by the FDA in December of 2008.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is an excellent treatment for freshening and vitalizing our skin, and may also be used to enhance the absorption of a number of plant/chemical peels.

Dermaplaning can be performed anywhere on the body. It is recommended that the procedure be done every 3 to 4 weeks (or once a month), which coincides with a normal skin cycle of approximately 30 days. Along with sloughing away dead skin cells, dermaplaning can help reduce the visibility of acne scarring and slight wrinkling, as well as do away with extraneous vellous (translucent) hairs on the face.

 – How it Works

The your technician is trained to carefully exfoliate the top layer of the skin with a specialized surgical tool. The process removes dead skin cells, peach fuzz, and stimulates new skin development. This procedure takes place in the medical center and time allotted is typically 60 minutes. There is 1 day of “down time” involved but you may return to your office or your busy schedule afterwards. Patients who routinely receive Dermaplane treatments comment on the smoothness of their complexion and its “baby skin like quality” and see an immediate improvement to the radiance of their skin tone.

 – Additional Benefits

There are several benefits to dermapaning  that may make it the ideal method of skin exfoliation for you. First of all, no chemicals are involved, which means less irritation for your newly sensitive skin. Secondly, a session will generally last no more than 60 minutes. Results can be noticed immediately. Furthermore, because the tool being used is small, dermaplaning can target specific problem areas such as around the lips and eye area more easily and skillfully than other procedures that use larger instruments and focus on the face as a whole. To top that off, dermaplaning is relatively inexpensive when compared to similar procedures such as VI chemical peels and dermabrasion.
