Four Reasons Botox Is a Time-Tested Favorite

Nov 20, 2018 Ultimate Image Posted in Dermal Fillers

Botox has been used to fight wrinkles for years, and it still reigns as one of the top non-surgical cosmetic procedures. This simple treatment manages to minimize unwanted wrinkles and create skin that looks years younger. Let’s take a look at the four top reasons that men and women alike can’t get enough of Botox.

No Anesthesia Needed

Botox is not a high maintenance treatment by any means. The needles used are small and thin, and are only injected into the areas of your face where you want to relax muscles. For most people this means around the eyes, lips, and forehead. The injections are minor enough that you can handle it without anesthesia.

No Inconvenient Downtime

Since Botox is non-surgical and minimally-invasive, there’s no real downtime to contend with. There’s no need for your mother-in-law to stay over for two days to cook your dinners and wash your clothes, and you don’t need to take any time off work. Any slight bruising that occurs around the injection site doesn’t last long, and you can apply makeup right away! Read More →

Nov 10, 2018 Ultimate Image Posted in Cosmetic Medical Center

Having trouble thinking of a unique and useful gift for your husband, father, or brother this holiday season? Why not pamper him? Forget the standard tie or coffee table book. Cosmetic procedures for men are actually booming right now.

More and more male patients are approaching cosmetic medical spas looking for solutions to their aesthetic problems. Give your favorite man the gift that keeps on giving with one of the following procedures.

CoolSculpting

This non-invasive procedure only takes about an hour, is the equivalent of one intense workout, and in that time freezes and naturally eliminates unwanted fat from the body. It’s essentially controlled cell death that only impacts troublesome fat cells, so it’s the perfect treatment to deal with the trouble spots that exercise can’t address. Though CoolSculpting isn’t for general weight loss, it’s an excellent way for already in-shape men to contour those stubborn pockets of fat. Read More →

Skin Pigmentation: What Causes Changes and How to Treat It

Oct 20, 2018 Ultimate Image Posted in Beauty Tips

Wrinkles aren’t the only imperfection that will give away your age.  Pigmentation is also a significant concern, especially after a long, hot Florida summer. What exactly is skin pigmentation, and how can you treat it effectively to rejuvenate your complexion? Here’s everything you need to know.

What Is Skin Pigmentation?

Skin pigmentation develops when the sun’s harmful rays, especially UVA rays, stimulate your skin’s pigment cells to manufacture pigment called melanin. While melanin can help your skin look glowing and tan after a week-long vacation, it can also accumulate into unwanted dark patches along your skin.

Some signs of skin pigmentation develop quickly, but others take years – or even decades – to become visible. The best ways to prevent skin pigmentation include using a full-spectrum sunblock, nourishing your skin and body with antioxidant-rich foods, and avoiding prolonged periods in the sun. If it’s too late for prevention, the following treatments can reverse your existing skin pigmentation blotches. Read More →

Are You Ready For the Holidays? Let’s Talk About Permanent Makeup

Sep 20, 2018 Ultimate Image Posted in Beauty Tips

You apply your makeup in the morning and clean it off at night, day after day, year after year. Most women accept this repetitive routine as the norm, but it doesn’t have to be! If you want to enjoy the flawless appearance of your favorite makeup without any maintenance, permanent makeup is the solution you’ve been waiting for.

As the holiday season rolls around, it’s the perfect time to use permanent makeup to enhance your appearance and impress your friends and family.

What Is Permanent Makeup?

Permanent makeup is cosmetic tattooing. Your choice of pigment is applied to add definition to your face. You can choose permanent makeup in the form of lip liner, eyeliner, hair strokes, and much more.

Unlike regular makeup, permanent makeup does not wear away over the day or with water. The ink used in permanent makeup remains in the skin for up to 9 years at a time. Since ink can be applied in such a wide variety of colors, shades, and hues, there is virtually no limit to the ways that permanent makeup can help you look like the best version of yourself.

Restore Your Radiance: Exploring ThermiTight For Skin Laxity

Sep 10, 2018 Ultimate Image Posted in Aging

Some signs of aging are impossible to ignore, but others like skin laxity develop subtly over time. You may not even realize your skin has become loose and saggy until you look in the mirror and wonder how your youthful, radiant appearance disappeared. You don’t want lax skin to define your age or confidence, but you also don’t want to undergo a face lift to reverse the damage.

Fortunately, ThermiTight provides the perfect non-surgical solution. ThermiTight is a revolutionary procedure that reverses laxity using controlled radiofrequency heating. Just a few treatments will help your skin look taut and more youthful.

Radiofrequency Energy Triggers Deep Healing

ThermiTight uses precise subdermal tissue heating to tighten loose, sagging skin. A probe delivers radiofrequency energy below the surface of your skin, where it creates controlled damage to skin tissue. Every carefully controlled injury immediately stimulates your body to produce extra collagen and elastin. Read More →

The combined effects of childbirth and aging are known to result in vaginal laxity (looseness), dryness, stress incontinence, and orgasmic dysfunction. ThermiVa uses radiofrequency energy to improve elasticity, lubrication and sensation as well as improve stress urinary incontinence.

The ThermiVa treatment uses a wand to deliver radiofrequency energy along the vaginal walls, vulvar tissue, and external labia which results in the tissue’s rejuvenation. Read More →

Body Contouring with EndyMed

EndyMed Uses Radiofrequency To Improve Skin

EndyMed treatments use radiofrequency technology to reduce wrinkles, tighten skin, and contour the body. EndyMed is useful for contouring of the lower face/jowls and neck, arms, legs, buttocks, and abdomen. EndyMed utilizes a proprietary 3DEEP radiofrequency technology that penetrates deep into the skin while protecting the outer layer of skin. As the radiofrequency energy penetrates the tissue, it stimulates the body’s existing collagen to contract which improves texture, tone and laxity of the skin and also encourages new collagen production within the skin.

ThermiSmooth is a procedure that improves the appearance of aging skin using radiofrequency energy to deliver gentle, controlled heating of the skin and underlying tissue.
