First came fillers, then lasers, then Botox — all still very effective and frequently used. And there’s always been surgery. Now there’s Ultherapy^® – a face and neck treatment that creates a brand new category in medical aesthetics; non-invasive tissue lifting. We are proud to be able to offer our clients here at la chelé this cutting edge treatment.

For the first time ever, Ultherapy enables practitioners to direct sound waves not only into the skin but deep under the skin to the same tissue addressed in surgery. This gently heats the tissue to lift and tighten loose skin without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin. Besides the visible effects of lifting and tightening, there is also an invisible result from Ultherapy with the creation of new collagen, which helps the skin maintain its youthfulness.

Ultherapy lifts, tightens, and tones loose skin to counteract the effects of time and gravity. One of the first effects of gravity is that the brows descend, and the eyes start to appear smaller. Ultherapy will lift the brow, which in turn reduces the excess skin on the lids, opens up the eyes and gives a more refreshed appearance.

The beauty of Ultherapy is that it is a 30 to 60 minute procedure that uses the body’s own subtle healing response to gently, gradually-and reliably-restore memory to the skin and its underlying tissue. Ultherapy requires no special recuperation or preparation and typically only takes one treatment to get a meaningful response. Patients enjoy some initial effect immediately following the procedure, but the ultimate lifting will take 2 – 3 months, as tired collagen is rejuvenated and supplemented with new, stronger collagen.

Ultherapy offers a natural, ‘no downtime’ approach to noticeably improving lax skin.

Sculptra®-Dermal Filler Sculptra Aesthetic is a facial injectable treatment that gradually replaces collagen lost during the aging process. It corrects shallow to deep nasolabial fold contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles over a series of 3-4 treatments.

Restylane® and Perlane®

Restylane® is a natural, cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to smooth out facial wrinkles and enhance lips. It is made of natural hyaluronic acid which already exists in the human body, therefore not requiring allergy testing prior to use.  Restylane® is injected in small amounts underneath the skin with a small needle to fill in creases, lines, wrinkles and folds. Once Restylane® is injected into the skin it works with the body’s own hyaluronic acid to create volume.  Lasting 5 to 9 months, it then dissolves into water and departs your body without leaving a trace. Perlane® is the newest FDA approved item of the Restylane® family.  As the same hyaluronic acid of Restylane®, but with a larger particle size, it is designed for correcting deeper lines and folds. Restylane® and Perlane® are safe, long-lasting fillers that provide immediate dramatic results for improving folds, wrinkles, scars, and lips.  They restore volume and fullness, resulting in a healthy and vital appearance.

Juvéderm™

Juvéderm™ is a “new generation” injectable filler made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body.  It is approved by the FDA to provide a smooth long-lasting correction of facial wrinkles and folds often lasting up to a year. Juvéderm™ adds volume and restores a smoother appearance to the skin by supplementing you body’s own hyaluronic acid with the highest concentration of non-animal, cross-linked hyaluronic acid of any dermal filler currently available. This has made it feel smoother than many other hyaluronic acid fillers. It is natural, biodegradable, and currently the only hyaluronic dermal filler that has demonstrated safety and effectiveness in patients of all skin types and colors.  Juvéderm™ Ultra and Juvéderm™ Ultra Plus are indicated for injection into the mid to deep dermis for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds).

Radiesse

RADIESSE® dermal filler is an FDA-approved, next-generation filler that is setting a new standard for the correction of deep facial lines and wrinkles such as nasolabial folds. Made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, RADIESSE® dermal filler is injected into the skin through a simple and minimally invasive procedure giving you immediate, visible improvement of folds and wrinkles, and providing long-lasting and beautiful results. In many patients, the effects of RADIESSE® treatment may last a year or more. Offering clinically proven safety and longevity, RADIESSE® offers several advantages over other fillers. Not only does it stimulate your body to produce new collagen, but it also encourages collagen to grow specifically around the injection area, in a process called collagenesis. This leaves your skin always building volume – and never reverting back to what it used to look like, so long as you continue to pursue preventative wrinkle care – which explains why it is also the preferred choice for total facial contouring, such as the replumping of cheekbones, the fatpad under the eyes, mandibles and jowls. In addition, RADIESSE® results are instantaneous – and typically last up to a year.

Traditional hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, electrolysis, and plucking are effective hair removal techniques, however, only laser hair removal is permanent. Using the latest technology available, Dr. Lisa Espinoza can remove unwanted hair from virtually any part of your body with unparalleled speed, safety, and efficacy. Each of our lasers is specific to certain skin types and colors of hair, allowing us to treat the full spectrum of skin types more effectively than other laser centers.  An innovative cooling system is built within it, therefore, allowing us to cool the skin during the treatment, making your experience a more comfortable one!  It is important to note, that hair grows in cycles, and only about one-third of a patient’s hair is visible above the skin at any time. Therefore, it is recommended that patients undergo five to eight treatments, spaced several weeks apart for optimal hair clearance.

What is VelaShape™?

VelaShape™ is the first and only non-surgical FDA-cleared medical device for the Body Reshaping market and the first FDA class II cleared platform for Cellulite Treatment. VelaShape™ is the only proven device with breakthrough results as it treats both the deeper tissue and the upper layers of the skin. This results in a measurable reduction in fat layers, circumference and the appearance of cellulite. VelaShape™ offers a non-surgical, no downtime and virtually painless treatment for the Body Reshaping and Cellulite Treatment market, with proven results in as few as 4 treatment sessions.

How VelaShape™ Works

Using the revolutionary elõs™ technology combination of Bi-Polar Radiofrequency (RF), Infrared Light Energy, plus Vacuum and Mechanical Massage. The combination of infrared and conducted RF energies precisely heats the dermal and the hypodermal tissue within the target treatment area. The precise heating ensures a safe, effective, fast treatment with no downtime. Vacuum and specially designed rollers for the Mechanical Massage smooth out the skin to facilitate safe and efficient heat energy delivery. The net result increases the metabolism of stored energy, increases lymphatic drainage and reduces or shrinks the size of the actual fat cells and fat chambers.

In a clinical multi-center study, 85% of the treated areas have reported Circumferential Reduction of thighs of at least 1cm; ranging up to 7.2cm in reduction.

Most patients see gradual and cumulative results throughout the treatment regime. You can look forward to:

• Gradual smoothening of skin’s surface with a noticeable reduction in cellulite and
• Circumferential Reduction, with noticeable reshaping of the treated area

On the cutting edge of technology, we are proud to be using the newest of fractional technology to significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and acne scarring. The fractional laser smoothes fine lines and wrinkles, offers skin tightening, reduces acne scarring, and improves skin discoloration without the downtime or redness associated with other skin resurfacing technologies. Unlike old technology, this is non-ablative skin resurfacing with high efficacy and little to no downtime. Light is delivered in deep columns to penetrate deep into the skin, while leaving the outer skin layer and the tissue surrounding the columns intact. By penetrating deeper than other devices, these columns initiate a natural healing process that accelerates the formation of a new healthy tissue to have visible results in skin color, texture, tone, fine lines, and wrinkles. These skin resurfacing treatments are most effective when performed in a series of sessions because each session treats only 20 to 25% of the skin. By treating only a percentage of the skin at a time, the surrounding untreated skin drives the healing process of filling in new healthier and more youthful looking skin.

The Fractional laser Lux1540 delivers light in an array of high precision microbeams. These microbeams create narrow, deepislands of tissue coagulation, leaving patients with little to no downtime. These columns of coagulation initiate a natural healing process that accelerates the formation of new, healthy tissue to fill in the coagulated columns; the deeper the columns, the greater the volume of new tissue. That’s why Lux1540 microbeams penetrate deeper (up to 1.5 mm) than other devices.

The mechanism of pigmented lesion removal is based upon selective destruction of melanocytes and melanosome-containing epidermal keratinocytes. The lesion darkens and crusts after treatment, and is naturally sloughed off the skin within two weeks.

Unwanted blood vessels known as spider veins can appear on the legs, face and other parts of the body.  A popular non-invasive method of eliminating spider veins in men and women is through the use of laser vein removal.  Using a specific wavelength of optical energy targeted at the spider vein, the laser delivers light to the vein allowing it to heat up, collapse and then close.  This is a gentle procedure with virtually no down time, usually requiring 15 to 30 minutes. The number of sessions depends on the condition of your skin and the treatment you require.  Call to discuss whether you are a better candidate for Sclerotherapy, laser vein removal or both.

Nu-Derm System= Treats pigmentation, laxity, fine wrinkles, acne, freckles

LATISSE™ (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is the first and only prescription treatment approved by the FDA for inadequate or not having enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker.

LATISSE™ makes lash growth possible because of its active ingredient: bimatoprost. Although the precise mechanism of action is not known, research suggests that the growth of eyelashes occurs by increasing the percent of hairs in, and the duration of, the anagen (or growth) phase. Lashes can grow longer, thicker and darker because bimatoprost can also prolong this growth phase.

LATISSE™ is easy to use, FDA approved and effective. It’s a once-a-day treatment you apply topically to the base of your upper eyelashes. Patients in a clinical trial saw results gradually over time (starting at 4 weeks with full results after 16 weeks).

While LATISSE™ is a new treatment in eyelash growth, it was developed through years of research by Allergan, a pharmaceutical leader with over 60 years of expertise in prescription eye care products.
