Look Your Best for the Holiday with Sculptra Aesthetic and Intense Pulsed Light IPL

Sep 1, 2015 Dermatologist Blog, Events

Autumn is a wonderful time of year to harvest your options to refresh and rejuvenate. That’s why we’re pleased to bring you this very special offer for Sculptra Aesthetic and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). Sculptra Aethetic is the facial injectable that has shown remarkable results in patients and lasts at least 25 months. IPL therapy is a non-invasive treatment that gently, safely, and effectively treats sun damage and the signs of aging. Learn how you can look your best for the holidays!

Reserve your seat . . .

Here’s what may make Sculptra Aesthetic the perfect choice for you:

It works gradually to replace lost collagen – a key cause of wrinkles, lines and folds.
It can give subtle yet noticeable results that can last up to 25 months
Treatment sessions are, on the average, just 3 injections over a few months

IPL Intense Pulsed Light photo rejuvenation treatment produces smoother, even-toned, more youthful looking skin. Associates in Dermatology uses it to treat a variety of conditions including:

Sun damage and photo aging
Brown spots such as freckles and lentigos
Skin discoloration, mottled pigmentation, and hyperpigmentation
Vascular changes or red blood vessels
Telangectasia
Redness from rosacea and flushing
Redness after CO2 laser resurfacing
Melasma

Treatments also minimizes red and brown spots while it evens out skin color and texture, and decreases that red flushed appearance from the skin.

Get the Body You Want Without Surgery

Join us on Thursday, August 13, 2015 from 5:30 – 7:00 PM at our offices in Hampton, VA for an introduction to two of our newest non-invasive cosmetic treatments. We are featuring Vanquish Fat Removal Treatments and Ultherapy. Both treatments require no downtime and no surgery to achieve results.

Ultherapy: Uplifting Ultrasound

Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared non-invasive treatment for lifting the skin on the neck, chin and brow; and now it’s also the only non-invasive treatment specifically FDA-cleared to improve lines and wrinkles on the decolletage!

Looking for a lift for sagging skin on your neck, chin or brow? Ultherapy may be just the solution!

Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen deep within the skin, with no downtime required. The result? Tighter, better-fitting, skin, from the brow to the chest!

Natural. Non-invasive. No downtime.

Learn more about Ultherapy.

Vanquish: Fat Removal System

Vanquish Fat Removal is a new state of the art, non-invasive Fat Removal and Fat Reduction procedure that eliminates unwanted belly fat. Using safe RF Technology to destroy the fat cells, Vanquish can eliminate fat without the side effects associated with Liposuction, Gastric Bypass or cryotherapy.

Since this new procedure is non-invasive and doesn’t require anesthesia, there is no risk of infection or downtime.
