The American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery has once again ranked Botox® as the most popular of all medically administered cosmetic procedures. The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin often referred to as Botox®, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces the activity of the muscles that cause the frown lines between the brows, forehead creases, and crow's feet near the eyes. One ten minute treatment of a few tiny injections will result in noticeable improvements, which can last up to 4 months.

If underarm sweating is significantly interfering with your daily activities and topical agents haven’t worked, you may be a candidate for BOTOX® treatment. First, understand how this condition may affect you. Then, schedule a visit to a dermatologist to discuss products and treatment options that are right for you.

Microdermabrasion is a non-chemical, non-invasive procedure that uses a spray of microcrystals to remove the outermost layer of dry, dead skin cells and reveal younger, healthier-looking skin. Microdermabrasion also encourages the production of a new underlying layer of skin cells with higher levels of collagen and elastin, which further improves your skin’s appearance. Microdermabrasion is much gentler than dermabrasion. Dermabrasion is a more intensive procedure used to treat deeper facial lines, extreme sun damage, and scars.

Patients who have never heard of this treatment before will want to know, what are chemical peels? A chemical peel is a treatment in which an acid solution is used to remove the damaged outer layers of the skin. Typically administered as a facial peel, a chemical peel enhances and smoothes the texture of the skin. It is an effective treatment for facial blemishes, wrinkles, and uneven skin pigmentation.

IPL PhotoFacials are designed to target skin cells at a deeper level than conventional facials, encouraging skin cell turnover and increasing the rate of collagen production - the necessary compound for keeping skin strong and healthy. IPL PhotoFacial systems make use of light energy to calm and heal the skin, and can also help to increase collagen production deep within the skin’s surface. The pulses of light penetrate deep into the epidermis where collagen and blood vessels expand and contract from the energy waves. The ongoing light energy stimulates the production of collagen which in turn helps to keep skin looking youthful and fresh.

Medical Facials provide the key to beautiful skin and a radiant complexion. During a medical facial, your Certified Licensed Medical Esthetician will revitalize and rejuvenate your skin.

The skilled staff at NouveauDerm Medspa offer a variety of medical facial treatments to meet your individual needs.

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses laser light — an intense, pulsating beam of light — to remove unwanted hair. Laser hair removal works by passing a light beam through the skin. The laser targets dark pigment, called melanin, in hair. When the light beam hits the hair follicle (where hair growth originates), the intense heat destroys the hair follicle instantly.

Spider veins (telangiectasia or venulectasias) are enlarged veins near the skin surface that appear purple, red, or blue. Commonly found on the legs, spider veins can occur on the face and other parts of the body. These enlarged veins are usually short unconnected lines or arranged in a sunburst pattern resembling a spider's web. Unsightly spider veins occur in a small, unnoticable area, or they can cover a large area of skin.

Rosacea (pronounced roh-ZAY-sha) is a relatively common, chronic skin disorder. Most people have no knowledge of this disease, including how to recognize it and what to do about it.

Sunlight, the elements and the natural aging process all contribute to the development of dark spots and freckles. Your face, hands and chest are the first parts of the body to show signs of aging because they receive so much sun exposure. Age spots and freckles are forms of pigmented lesions. They are caused by excess production of melanin in the skin by cells called melanocytes. Most of the lesions are just a cosmetic problem. Things that would make some one suspicious about pigmented lesions being precancerous or cancerous are irregular borders, scaling, bleeding, itching, multiple colors or large (or increasing) size. Any suspicious lesion must be biopsied before it is removed. If ever questionable, err on the side of caution.

While cleansing is the first step in any skin care routine, it is often overlooked and undervalued. With typical manual cleansing, dirt and oil are not as effectively removed and may become trapped in your pores and fine lines. Whether it is sun damage, drying detergents, harsh pollutants, or oil and bacteria, they are all doing their part to wreak havoc on your skin.
