Testimonials:

“I am a 45 year old who gets the Non-ablative Fractional Laser a few times a year to help with my fine lines and wrinkles. I have seen a great improvement in my post laser care and healing process with the Alastin Nectar! The amount of time I was red and inflamed was cut in half with the help of the Alastin Nectar. I also saw better results and improvement in my skin texture and tone with the combination of the laser and nectar!”

“I am 61 and have been looking for a neck cream that works for many years. After using the Alastin Restorative Neck Complex, I am blow away with the results. My skin is tighter and smoother than it has been in a very long time. The color of my neck also improved and I feel great!”

“I am a 41 year old female who underwent liposuction of my hips and flanks along with an abdominoplasty and I could not be happier with my results. When undergoing my consultation, Dr. Casas had told me about the Alastin TransFORM Body Treatment and how it would improve my results. After my procedures, I started using the TransFORM Body Treatment and I am absolutely amazed by the accelerated healing and overall improvement of my skin quality. I did not expect to have the results I have at such a early stage of my recovery. I am so happy with my results thus far and cannot wait to see how much more I improve with Alastin TransFORM Body Treatment!”
