Microdermabrasion
There are many benefits from resurfacing with microdermabrasion, including a thorough cleansing of your pores, a deep exfoliation that also stimulates cell turnover, blood flow and collagen production. Microdermabrasion is effective for treating sun damage, fine lines, rough uneven texture, hyper pigmentation, acne and the effects of aging. As with other skin rejuvenation techniques, more than one treatment may be needed to improve or reduce fine wrinkles and unwanted pigment.
For optimal results we recommend a series.

Dysport™
Dysport™ Photo Gallery
Everyone's talking about Dysport, the newest available botulinum toxin type A, a prescription injection used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines and wrinkles. Dysport has been used for aesthetic treatments in 34 countries. What's the difference between Botox and Dysport? Both are botulinum toxin type A, a derived protein that works by relaxing targeted muscles. The Dysport protein is slightly smaller so the onset can be a bit faster than Botox. The dosing for Botox and Dysport is different. A Botox unit is not equivalent to a Dysport unit. The conversion is approximately 2.5 Dysport units to 1 Botox unit. Dr. Nichols or our staff will determine which product is right for you. We offer Botox, Dysport and Filler discounts on Fridays!
Sculptra® Wrinkle Treatment
Sculptra® Aesthetic is FDA approved for the correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold (smile lines) contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles which are treated with the appropriate injection technique in healthy people. Sculptra is an injectable poly-L-lactic acid that is biocompatible, biodegradable and has been used as suture material for more than 40 years. It is injected below the surface of the skin in the area of fat loss and provides a gradual increase in skin thickness. Visible results appear within the first few treatment sessions and most patients require 3-4 treatments over a period of several months. Sculptra promotes production of collagen, therefore the results are longer lasting than other dermal fillers, however results are not seen immediately.

Q: What is SculptraAesthetic? A: The main ingredient in SculptraAesthetic is poly-L-lactic acid, or PLLA. PLLA has been used safely for decades in dissolvable stitches, and as a facial injectable in Europe since 1999. It's been in use in the United States since 2004. The body gradually and naturally absorbs poly-L-lactic acid as it works to replace lost collagen.
Q: Is SculptraAesthetic FDA approved? A: Yes. The FDA has approved SculptraAesthetic for the correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold (smile lines) and other facial wrinkles, which are treated with the appropriate injection technique in healthy people.
Q: Is SculptraAesthetic natural? Will getting the injections harm my body? A: The main ingredient in SculptraAesthetic is poly-L-lactic acid, or PLLA, a synthetic material. It's not made from human or animal sources. It is biocompatible, which means it will not harm your body. It's also biodegradable, meaning the body can easily break it down. PLLA has been used in dissolvable stitches and medical implants for more than 25 years.
Q: Do I need an allergy or skin test? A: No skin testing is required prior to using SculptraAesthetic.
Q: How does SculptraAesthetic work? A: SculptraAesthetic targets the underlying causes of the signs of facial aging. It can give you noticeable results that emerge subtly and can last for up to 2 years. It begins to work within the deep dermis, where your skin's structure is reinforced as SculptraAesthetic helps to replace lost collagen. This reinforced collagen structure provides a foundation that gradually restores the look of fullness of your shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds that have depleted over time. The result? SculptraAesthetic is different because it gradually and subtly corrects these facial wrinkles and folds. This can provide a refined, more youthful-looking appearance that can last up to two years. Of course, individual results may vary.
Q: How does facial collagen loss affect my appearance? A: Collagen loss is a key factor in aging. Collagen acts as a support structure for your skin. As time goes on, collagen isn't replaced as readily as it once was. SculptraAesthetic works by gradually replacing lost collagen to help correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds. And it gives you long-lasting results that can last up to two years. Of course, individual results may vary.
Q: How much do the treatments cost? A: SculptraAesthetic treatment regimens vary according to individual needs. So the cost will depend in part on the number of visits needed and the amount of SculptraAesthetic required. During your consultation, our physician will give you a facial assessment and we can provide you with an estimate. When considering cost, it's also useful to consider how long specific treatments last. With SculptraAesthetic, the results can last up to two years. Of course, results and treatment sessions vary per patient. But, while considering your options, the length of time you'll enjoy the results can be weighed against the cost of treatment.
Q: Who sells SculptraAesthetic? A: SculptraAesthetic is distributed by Dermik Laboratories, a business of sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC, a leading global pharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, produces, and markets innovative therapies that enhance people's lives.
Q: I heard Sculptra is used for HIV patients. Can you tell me more about that? A: Sculptra is approved by the FDA for restoration and correction of the signs of facial fat loss in people with HIV. It is the first FDA-approved product of its kind for this condition.

Obagi Medical Skin Care
Obagi Blue Peel Photo Gallery
Obagi Medical consists of three physician-prescribed skin care systems, created to dramatically improve your skin's tone, hydration and overall health and appearance. The Nu-Derm System penetrates deep to improve damage in layers of the skin. It boosts functions of the skin at the cellular level to improve wrinkles, reduce mottled pigmentation, even tone, increase firmness and hydrate. The Obagi-C Rx System was created to address all of the needs of young skin, which includes evening the tone, promoting cell turnover to expose healthy, glowing skin and by protecting the skin to prevent cell damage. The Obagi Blue Peel System was created to accelerate your skin's transformation, used with the Nu-Derm System, and after just one peel your skin should become visibly firmer, clearer, healthier and more youthful looking in only four to six weeks.
Clarisonic Pro Skin Brush
Clarisonic is the essential first step in an ultra-clean skin care ritual. The creators of Sonicare® are now redefining clean, healthy skin with Clarisonic! While cleansing is the first step in any skin care routine, it is often not given much thought. Often manual cleansing leaves dirt and oil that may become trapped in pores and fine lines. Sun damage, drying detergents, harsh pollutants, or oil and bacteria all do their part to wreak havoc on your skin. In addition to cleaner skin with the Clarisonic, as it provides 6x more makeup removal, you'll notice a reduced pore size, improved skin tone, a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improved absorption of skin care products. Clarisonic is the patented sonic revolution that gives soft, smooth and younger-looking skin. In short, you'll flaunt skin that's clean, healthy, clear and beautiful!
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® & Fillers Photo Gallery
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical procedure that can dramatically reduce, and sometimes eliminate, wrinkles caused by muscle activity of the face and therefore creates a smooth and improved appearance between the brows. One short treatment of a few tiny injections relaxes the muscles that cause the wrinkles for up to four months and no recovery time is needed. Ask Dr. Nichols or our staff how you may benefit from BOTOX® Cosmetics.

It can also be used to plump up the lips, giving a more supple, youthful appearance to the mouth. Both are available in two formulas to optimize the area being treated. Juvederm® is clinically proven to last up to one year. Restylane can last up to 18 months if The Restylane Regimen is strictly followed. Ask Dr. Nichols or our staff what results you can expect with Juvederm or Restylane.

Spider Vein Therapy
Sclerotherapy is an effective way to diminish unsightly "spider veins." It's estimated that more than half of adult females is plagued with this common cosmetic problem- those small, unsightly clusters of red, blue or purple veins that most commonly appear on the legs. In this rather simple procedure, veins are injected with a chemical, usually salt water or saline, which causes them to collapse and fade from view. The procedure may also improve the other symptoms associated with spider veins, including aching, burning, swelling and night cramps. Sclerotherapy can enhance your appearance and your self confidence, however every affected vein may not disappear completely. Two or more sessions are usually required to achieve optimal results. The skin of your legs will appear younger, clearer and more healthy-looking.
