As we age we lose volume and elasticity in the skin. A surgical face-lift won't replace that volume and it won't improve the fabric of the skin. We can replace that volume and correct the skin's fabric to give healthier more natural results. Using your own fat placed strategically and deeper than tissue fillers, we are able to get better and longer lasting results. Because it is your own fat your body won't reject it or have an allergic reaction to it. On average, the amount of fat we can harvest will be much greater than artificial tissue fillers to fill in even deep creases and furrows around the mouth, cheeks, forehead and eyes. We can even correct defects from previous surgeries or injuries and augment areas of the body such as the buttocks and breasts. It's done in the office and there is very little downtime with excellent results.
Laser resurfacing, commonly called a laser peel, removes the outer, damaged layer of skin to reveal a smoother, younger look. At ALWC, we feature the Erbium/YAG and CO2 Lasers to remove serious skin defects like scars, moles, deep wrinkles, age spots that "will not go away", and can give the ultimate in collagen stimulation. A laser beam of precisely focused light vaporizes the surface skin and reveals the undamaged layer beneath. Procedure time varies depending on the size and condition of the area being treated. But the results are always extraordinary.
Don't hide your skin -- show it off! At ALWC, we believe that healthy skin is beautiful skin and no better way to prove it is with the The MediPelle Programme by Dr. Galiano. The The MediPelle Programme transforms damaged, dry and wrinkled areas into healthy, moisturized and smooth skin. The The MediPelle Programme also strengthens your skin against day-to-day damage, reduces the appearance of blemishes and other discoloration, improves circulation, and rebuilds collagen for a fuller, younger look. Acne and acne scars can also be addressed with this daily program for skin rejuvenation. Photorejuvenation The natural consequences of aging on our skin include sun damage, freckles, age spots, acne scarring, enlarged pores, sagging wrinkles, and redness caused by broken capillaries and rosacea. Photorejuvenation reduces these signs of aging using non-invasive, painless pulses of non-ablative lasers and intense pulsed light. Treatments can also improve the appearance of birthmarks and uneven pigmentation and stimulate the production of collagen. There is no recovery time and low risk of complications. Multiple sessions of about 20-60 minutes each are performed every few weeks until the desired result has been achieved. Ultrasound Facials Ultrasonic skin rejuvenation combines ultrasound and electrical therapy to stimulate blood flow and increase collagen production. This helps reverse some of the signs of aging, such as improving the appearance of fine wrinkles and softening and firming up the skin. Treatments take about 20-40 minutes and entail no downtime or recovery. Improvements in skin texture and appearance are noticeable immediately. A series of treatments is recommended for maximum benefit. Chemical Peels At ALWC, we offer several chemical peels to rejuvenate and correct your skin depending on what your skin needs. Most notably the Blue Peel by Obagi is a medium depth peel for clearer, smoother, healthier skin. During the peeling process, the damaged skin is removed, and replaced with a fresh layer that is smoother, more even-toned, and has a healthier glow. The Blue Peel offers benefits over other chemical peels because it allows the physician to control the depth of penetration, so treatments can be tailored to the individual patient and the results more predictable. We also offer other chemical peels for the face or other areas of the body.
Microdermabrasion Microdermabrasion improves mild to moderate sun damage, scarring, wrinkles and other superficial skin problems. A gentle stream of tiny particles exfoliates the outer layer of skin and provides a fresh, glowing, younger appearance. The particles scrape away the surface layer of aging or damaged skin, which is then brushed off with the microdermabrasion vacuum tool with no need for anesthesia. Only a small amount of skin is removed, so sensitive areas such as the face, chest, neck, arms and hands can be treated. Results are comparable to a light chemical peel and should be immediately visible. Microdermabrasion is often performed in conjunction with other skin renewal procedures, such as laser treatment and chemical peels. Multiple treatments are recommended for full effect. Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) Blepharoplasty can rejuvenate puffy, sagging or tired-looking eyes by removing excess fat, skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. It may be performed for cosmetic reasons or to improve sight by lifting droopy eyelids out of the patient's field of vision. The procedure is performed in our office under local anesthesia in as little as 45 minutes. Blepharoplasty can be combined with other procedures such as BOTOX®, tissue fillers, facial suspension or lift, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, to raise the eyebrows or reduce the appearance of wrinkles, crow's feet or dark circles under the eyes. |
