NEW
IN OFFICE FACELIFT
As
the aging process begins, the skins connective tissue thins and
collagen and elastic fibers begin to break down.
As
a result, these changes in underlying support structures appear
as sagging, deep creases, folds and wrinkles in the skin as early
as your thirties. Now there is a simple new technique that makes
it possible to rejuvenate and beautify your appearance.
A
lift procedure performed with Contour Threads is a safe, conservative
and effective one that offers subtle, natural looking results.
Specially designed sutures are fashioned from clear polypropylene,
a material that has been safely used in the body for many years
in other medical products. By gently, shifting sagging tissues
in an upward direction, this technique allows the surgeon to produce
a relaxed, fresh appearance while preserving and enhancing the
natural contours of your face. This procedure does not replace
a conventional face-lift; rather it offers patients an innovative,
minimally invasive approach with immediate results.
In
general, the best candidates for this procedure include both women
and men in their thirties through their sixties who want a more
youthful appearance, but do not want a conventional full facelift,
browlift or neck procedure.
This
procedure is ideal for repositioning sagging cheeks, jowels, and
neck, lifting sagging eyebrows, adjusting asymmetric brows or
face.

ADVANCES
IN TREATMENT OF HAIR LOSS
our latest treatment program for hair loss is offered to patients
who have had appropriate work up:
·
Approximately 40 million women or one in four, experience hereditary
hair thinning.
·
50% of woman will experience hair loss by middle age
·
No one has the same hair as they get older that they had in their
youth. Your hair is at its thickest by age 20. But once you pass
20, your hair gradually begins to thin, shedding more than the
normal 50 to 100 hairs a day.
Nearly
2 of every 3 men experience some form of hair loss. Male pattern
baldness affects over 40% of the adult male population.
The
HLC Comprehensive Treatment Program brings together all the best
FDA approved products with the latest research from the US, Europe
and Canada. The goals of this program are: improve scalp and hair
environment, significantly block DHT, complete nutrition for your
hair, and enhance the appearance of thin looking hair by minimizing
hair loss and stimulating hair growth.
The
HLC Comprehensive Treatment Program consists of:
The most powerful herbal DHT blockers and hair nutritional HairScripts™
Complete was clinically developed to help grow your hair stronger,
fuller, faster and to arrest pattern hair loss in both men and
women of all ethnicities. This product was developed as a one
step oral solution to block DHT and give your hair the nutrients
it needs to grow optimally. HairScripts CompleteTM harmlessly
binds to Androgen Receptors on your hair and stops DHT from binding
to hair follicles and shrinking/killing your hair. With less DHT
binding to your Androgen Receptors, your hair starts to grow and
resumes the normal cycle of hair growth. As less and less DHT
binds to your hair, it has the chance to grow into a strong healthy
hair. Small hairs can grow bigger and your dormant hair can start
to grow again.
Significantly
improved delivery system of Minoxidil (FDA approved)
· A Proven Scalp Therapy
· A Proven Nutrient “Hair Growth” Delivery
System
· A specially formulated hair loss shampoo without sodium
laurel sulfate and DEA (chemicals used commonly in shampoos that
are harmful to hair)
Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) or photo biotherapy (Clinic Laser
or Handheld Laser/Laser Comb at home.)
Q:
How does laser work?
Laser
light uses the scientific principle of photo biotherapy. This
process occurs when cells absorb light and repair themselves.
Laser light penetrates deep into the tissues of the scalp, stimulating
micro-circulation of blood supply, cell metabolism and protein
synthesizes. Clinical studies suggest that this cellular and sub-cellular
activity breaks down the collection of DHT helping to stop hair
loss. Many long-term international clinical research programs
have shown that bio-stimulation of ‘cold-beam’ low-level
laser gives numerous positive effects to the skin and hair.
Research
suggests that laser works by three mechanisms:
Energization
--Transforming laser energy into cellular energy. Laser light
increases the energy available to cells so they take in nutrients
faster and get rid of waste products. Circulation – Increasing
blood and lymph circulation through vasodilatation. Microscopic
studies have shown laser increases circulation and oxygenation
of the blood to the scalp and hair bulb. Laser also removes calcification
and blockages around the hair bulb; as well as increases cell
replacement or regenerative activity. Laser helps hair to improve
in fullness, shine, body and elasticity; therefore problems such
as excessively oily or dry scalp, dandruff and itchiness can also
be reduced.
Vibration
– Bringing cells into harmonious oscillation patterns. The
soft tissue and fluids in our bodies actually vibrate! They do
this within a frequency range similar to that of cold-beam, red-light
laser. When its vibrations become irregular or out-of-step, it
can be brought back into “synchronization” by being
irradiated with low level laser working at quantum level.
NEW
LASER TREATMENT FOR PSORIASIS & VITILIGO
The
newest laser system is light-years ahead of other psoriasis treatments.
Most people can expect excellent results in about 5 weeks.
Vitiligo
(loss of pigment of skin) can be very devastating to a person’s
self-image; the new laser treatment offers an excellent long term
remission.
A number of other dermatological disorders, i.e.: HYPOPIGMENTED
SCARS, ALOPECIA AREATA, LICHEN PLANUS, MYCOSIS FUNGOIDES (CUTANEOUS
T-CELL LYMPHOMA), PITYRIASIS ROSEA, UREMIC (OR INTRACTABLE) PRURITUS
& ECZEMA are also responsive to this new laser treatment..
We
look forward to hearing from you, any questions or comments are
welcome.
