Major
Facial Rejuvenation
Major Facial Rejuvenation addresses the major components of aging
for the 35 to 65 year old woman or man.
It addresses wrinkles around the eyes, blotchy skin discoloration,
and the aging texture changes of the skin that make pores larger and
acne scars more pronounced.
Its the number one impressive, yet simple rejuvenation service
that works great on both women and men. Performed on afternoons or
Saturday mornings for your convenience at the Dermatology and Dermatologic
Surgery Center (DDSC), its safe, no downtime technology keeps you
working and looking vital and energetic.
At DDSC, we offer the most complete facelift alternative services
in Iowa because Dr. Harlan performs Ultrapulse CO2 laser to tighten
loose eyelids, remove bags and dark circles under the eyes. We also
maintain the highest standards for results with no gimmicks. While
other similar rejuvenation services do exist, many without
the input and supervision of a board certified dermatologist, their
results do not measure up to that of the DDSC.
When you start Major Facial Rejuvenation with us, gentle microdermabrasion
is first performed to remove superficial dead skin cells, clear the
pores, and begin the rejuvenation process. Anesthetic cream is then
applied to the facial areas in preparation for Botox and IPL therapy
(Intense Pulse Light).
After fifteen minutes of anesthetic cream, Botox is placed in the
three major groups of muscles that over time begin to pull down and
age the face. The prolonged sustained relaxation from Botox to these
problem muscle groups raises the brows and treats the crowsfeet wrinkles
to make the eyes look more open, younger and full of vitality. A bit
of Botox at the lateral chin improves drooping jowls and the deepening
creases at the corners of the mouth.
IPL Fotofacial is then performed to improve the texture and collagen
of the entire face. Age spots and sun damage freckles flake off, and
red blotchy skin becomes more even and clear. Laser strength broad
spectrum light is pulsed over small sections at a time until the entire
face is treated. IPL usually takes about 20 minutes.
Patients return at three week intervals for a total of five IPL Fotofacials.
This produces the lasting changes in dermal collagen that improves
scars and pore size and returns the skin texture and color to what
it was many years ago.
The result is an improvement that everyone will notice. A complimentary
follow-up consultation is also provided two and one half months following
the first procedure.
The cost of this total package is $2300. However, the results for
this investment are the most impressive of any non-surgical, no downtime,
face rejuvenation procedure.
