Non-Surgical Anti-Aging and Beauty Procedures

COSMED’s Signature Facials & Peels: These are one of the most affordable skin treatments available. A chemical solution or series of solutions is applied to the skin, causing the top layers to peel off. The peel improves your skin’s appearance, refreshing its texture and color by reducing wrinkles, minimizing skin discoloration, and diminishing certain types of acne or dark spots. Most peels can be completed in the space of a normal office visit and cause only minimal discomfort with little to no downtime (depending on the strength of the peel). An evaluation is needed to determine if a very superficial, superficial or medium depth peel would best fit your skin condition.

Get rid of the tired angry look and restore the youthful, refreshed look that your face once had with a brow lift. Our medical doctors use a technique that can improve the horizontal lines and furrows in your forehead. By removing these forehead muscles, a brow lift can raise the eyebrows and remove frown lines. CosMed’s medical doctors use a conventional surgical method that hides the incision behind the hairline, resulting in smoother forehead skin and a refreshed more youthful appearance.

A prescription medicine used to improve the look of frown lines in the forehead and the proverbial “crow’s feet”. BOTOX is a safe and easy procedure that works by paralyzing the local facial muscles. Typical BOTOX injections will last 4-6 months. BOTOX can also be used to reduce extreme sweating in the underarms, hands, or feet. Injections for excessive sweating (or hyperhidrosis) generally last from 9 months to a year.

How it works
With Fraxel re:store treatment, you get dramatic results without going under the knife. Instead, Fraxel re:store laser treatment uses points of light to precisely treat thousands of microscopic areas of your skin. The treatment penetrates deep into the skin to remove old, damaged skin cells, stimulates your body’s own natural healing process, and replaces the cells with fresh, glowing, healthy skin. Because the technology is so precise, Fraxel restore treatment works not only on the face, but also on delicate skin areas like the neck, chest and hands. Fraxel restoretreatment delivers dramatic results, fast healing and maximum safety.

From the pioneers of Radiofrequency technology, get tighter and smoother skin with little to no downtime. Thermage is the premier solution for skin tightening and contouring. It delivers natural looking results with no downtime. Thermage is a non-invasive procedure that helps tighten and contour your skin in a single treatment. This is a non surgical procedure and no injections are needed. It will result in:

1. Tighter, smoother skin
2. Softened wrinkles and lines
3. Younger looking appearance.

Thermage uses a pioneer unique radiofrequency (RF) technology to safely heat the deep layers of your skin, while cooling the surface of your skin to keep it intact during the procedure. This deep heating stimulates your body’s natural skin renewal process, which helps tighten existing collagen and form new collagen. Over time, sagging or wrinkled skin is replaced with smoother, tighter skin; improved tone and texture; and an overall younger looking appearance. It is also indicated for treating cellulite. Not ready for a facelift but want to look younger and natural? This treatment is your solution.

Injectable cosmetic fillers—including Restylane® and Juvederm®—are non-toxic and used to restore a smoother appearance to your face, “filling in” laugh lines, acne scars, or any imperfections in the skin. Filler treatments can last anywhere from several months to near-permanent effect, but most last for 6 months to a year. Some patients may need a topical anesthetic or a nerve block for accurate placement of the filler material.

This non-surgical face lift procedure combines BOTOX and Juvederm to dramatically freshen your look and erase the signs of aging by reducing lines in the face while enhancing lips, cheeks and contouring the jawline.

Laser hair removal is a safe, effective way to decrease hair growth in unwanted areas. Common areas treated in women include the face, underarm, or bikini area. Men commonly have treatment for their chest and/or back. While individuals with fair skin and dark hair respond the best to laser hair removal treatment, all patients can have positive results.

While undergoing laser hair removal, no anesthesia is necessary as with other laser modalities. The number of treatments depends on a multitude of factors, including skin tone, hair color and what phase of hair growth the hair is in when treated.

Laser resurfacing is commonly performed to remove layers of damaged or wrinkled skin, usually to minimize the appearance of fine lines around the mouth and eyes. Laser treatment has also been proven to effectively treat facial scars and areas of uneven pigmentation. You can receive laser resurfacing alone or in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures to achieve dramatic results.

Also known as the Broadband Light Therapy or “cold laser”, the photofacial uses an intense pulse light to rejuvenate the skin, giving it a more youthful appearance by reducing the pore size, evening the skin tone, fading sunspots, darkspots and also decreasing fine lines. It is also used to treat facial redness due to veins and capillaries produced specially by rosacea. For best results, several treatments are required. During your evaluation, we can prescribe a treatment plan tailored to your particular needs.

The long pulsed 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser is used for the treatment of telangiectasia, small-to-medium vessels of leg veins (up to 4 mm in diameter), reticular veins below lower eyelids and other benign vascular tumors. This laser is the best suited for treating bluish-purple blood vessels. Usually 1-3 sessions are needed for optimal results. Afraid of needles? During your evaluation, we can tell you if this treatment is appropriate for you.

To completely remove a tattoo, new treatments using lasers, which are more effective and cause less scarring than older surgical excision or dermabrasion procedures, can eliminate your tattoo with minimal side effects. Usually multiple laser sessions are needed to achieve the best results. At COSMED we will make an evaluation to determine the approximate number of sessions that you will require.

This evaluation involves taking pictures of your face, that we can then analyze for spots, redness, pores, wrinkles and texture. The professional evaluation also includes an aging simulator, where we can predict your face’s future condition if we don’t make a medical intervention. In addition to identifying and helping to prevent skin cancer and other skin disorders, the digital evaluation provides important information customized to your skin type, so that you can develop an individual skin care program that is appropiate for you. A professional digital evaluation will also help enhance the long term results of cosmetic treatments.

Offers the most advanced non-invasive body sliming solution by the integrated technology of cryo, vacuum and LED light therapy. The system delivers cryo-energy during the treatment with vacuum and LED technologies which enhances the treatment effects. As compared to other cryolipolysis systems, this is the only system that includes red LED 630 nm which also promotes collagen production, so the skin texture appears smoother and tighter, and also stimulates the micro-circulation.

How CoolShaping works?
CoolShaping employs selective cryolipolisis (Fat freezing) using a set of plates to reach temperature up to -10 Celsius. An anti-freeze pad is placed over the skin fold so that the skin exposed to the freezing plates will not be damaged. The fat cells disappear after apoptosis (programmed cell death) and are removed completely by macrophages in a slow, gradual and progressive way during the next 2-3 months after the initial treatment.

Sclerotherapy effectively treats varicose and spider veins. It’s often considered the treatment of choice for small varicose veins (4 mm or less). Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the vein, which causes the vein to scar and collapse, forcing blood to reroute through healthier veins. The collapsed vein is reabsorbed into local tissue and eventually fades.

After sclerotherapy, treated veins tend to fade within a few weeks, although occasionally it may take up to a month to see the full results. In some instances, several sclerotherapy treatments may be needed 4-6 weeks apart.
