Customized Skin Care Programs

 

Specialty Add On Treatments

Depending on skin condition and patient desired skin goals, a series of 6 to 10 treatments is highly recommended, but not always necessary. *Especially for all types of Acne Conditions.             

LED Light Treatment: Treats a variety of skin problems, including Acne, Hyperpigmentation, Rosacea, Broken Capillaries, and Stretch Marks by using different color and wave frequencies stimulating collagen production and jump-starting skin repair. Specific light frequencies are absorbed by the skin and serve as an energy source to stimulate cellular regeneration. It increases the production of collagen and elastin (two proteins responsible for skin’s tone and elasticity.) Studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in; tightening the skin, smoothing fine wrinkles and improving texture, and shrinking pore size.

High Frequency Treatment: Excellent for Acne that is severely inflamed and persistent; high frequency electrical current is very effective in relieving inflammation and controlling the bacteria. Also enhances blood circulation, cell renewal and increases collagen and elastin production, Helps for deeper penetration of skin care products during mask therapies and corrective facials.

Oxygen Skin Therapy: Oxygen is an important part of any treatment, can aid in the support of the growth of healthy skin cells, and is often used in the arena of rejuvenation, regeneration and revitalization. In addition, since germs cannot live in an oxygen rich environment, it is known as an antibacterial agent and can be incorporated into most treatments. This treatment is very effective, and will make all types of skin healthier, fresher, and firmer.

 

Post Care for Injections/Laser Skin Rejuvenation

The search for the fountain of youth continues every day, but instead of combing the swamps of Florida like Ponce de Leon, we scan ads for Laser Skin Rejuvenation, injectables like Botox and ArteFill.  All these techniques remove years from our appearance, but they also create downtime in order to heal from the procedure.  Follow-up post care can reduce the time it takes to heal and extend the benefits of the procedure.  Rhonda Allison Skin Care products offer several options. 

After an injection:

• Post Balm and Growth Factor
• Calming Skin Gel and ice if the injection site swells or itches
• Hyaluronic Serum/ Peptide Formulas/Super C/Growth Factor increase longevity of the filler
• Growth Factor and Peptide Formulas help increase longevity of Botox as will any other rejuvenating topical.  Botox does not require as much healing support.  Wait to do any skin peels 24-48 hours after a fresh injection.

 After Laser Skin Rejuvenation:

• Pro Salve mixed with Sea Gems and Daytime Defense for day.  (If skin is open and raw, wait 24 hours before adding Sea Gems) If Sea Gems is too active, some clients prefer Drop of Essence. 
• Calming Skin Gel for itching
• Growth Factor 1-2 weeks after procedure depending on the depth of the laser

All Purpose Cleansing Pads remove surface residue from skin gently while providing antiseptic, antibacterial, and antioxidant support
Calming Skin Gel is a hydrocortisone balm that helps reduce itching and irritation
Daily Defense SPF 30 is a broad-spectrum sunscreen that uses zinc oxide as a natural sun barrier
Drop of Essence Hydration Drops is an Omega 6 essential fatty acid that calms burning sensations and hydrates and heals

Botox/ Dermal Fillers

Botox/Dysport

The American Society of Plastic Surgery has released statistics that state Botulinum Toxin was ranked the most often requested non-surgical cosmetic procedure in 2001, with over 1.5 million Americans treated, and the numbers have steadily grown since that time, by 2003 it’s use increased over 3000%. It has been used for cosmetic procedures since the late 80’s with no significant side effects and very short, if any, recovery or down time. The effects of Botulinum Toxin last, on average, 4 months, and some clients that have been treated for several years report it lasting longer, often up to twice as long.

Some myths associated with Botulinum Toxin are:

Botulinum Toxin A is a poison: False, it is not a live bacteria, but a purified protein.
Botulinum Toxin A will cause me to loose sensation or feel numbness where injected: Botulinum Toxin does not affect the sensory nerves. The proteins saturate the receptors on the muscle that it is injected into and prevents the chemical message from the brain to the muscle from occurring, thereby preventing the muscle contraction. When the muscle does not contract, the skin does not wrinkle, and the lines smooth out over time.

Dermal Fillers

The aging process reduces approximately 1% of our dermal (under the skin) collagen per year and with it hyaluronans, or Hyaluronic acid (HA), this phenomenon increases after the age of 50. Hyaluronic acid exists naturally in all living organisms and its primary function is to provide volume and pliability to skin and is crucial for new cell growth. As we age, the skin cells ability to produce HA is lost and the size of the molecules also decreases so it does not hold water as well, hence the sagging or drooping of the skin, namely around the nose and mouth (also known as nasolabial folds) and jowls. A primary characteristic of HA is its ability to hold up to a thousand times its weight in water. This characteristic makes it an ideal filler because as the body breaks down the HA over time, the remaining product continues to attract water from the body, which in turn allows the shape and volume to be maintained until it is completely gone.

Restylane®, Perlane®, Juvaderm Ultra® and Juvaderm Ultra Plus® are clear, injectable gel based HAs that are fully biodegradable, natural and safe with no skin testing required. Down time is minimal, with 2-4 days of swelling, possible bruising and slight tenderness to the injected sites being the most common side effects reported. In addition to reducing lines around the nasolabial folds and jowls, these products are excellent for lip enhancement, with the recovery time being a bit longer than in other areas. These products last, on average, 5-8 months.

Artefill® is n EXCELLENT filler choice than has been on the market in the US since 2007, but has been used in Canada and Europe for over 20 years with beautiful results for the treatment of nasolabial folds, check augmentations, brow lifts and jowl lines. This product is a non-synthetic collagen that, when injected, replaces collagen that has been lost over time. Results are immediate, there is little to no down time, no reported swelling, as it does not attract water like HA, and minimal bruising, if any.  Artefill lasts 5 to 10 years!  Visit www.artefill.com for more info.
