Ultherapy results for neck, forehead and lower face improved with pre and post treatment with Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar!
Ultherapy is an ultrasound guided treatment that is used to treat mild to moderate skin laxity and wrinkles around the jowls, under the chin, around the eyes, crow’s feet and above the forehead for a brow lift. Ulthreapy works by administering ultrasound energy to specific depths of the skin with precise ultrasound guidance, which causes tissue tightening and collagen production. The Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar also works at the specific depths that Ultheapy’s energy is administered for an even better result.
The Alastin […]
There are many reasons to use the Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar before and after the 1540 Non-Ablative Fractional Laser. By using the Regenerating Skin Nectar two weeks before a laser procedure, you can precondition and pretreat your skin to clear old damaged collagen and elastin due to sun exposure and aging. By clearing out the old damaged collagen and elastin your cells can better communicate and produce more new healthy collagen and elastin.
After the procedure, Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar can optimize healing and decrease downtime by reducing the appearance of redness and decrease inflammation. The active ingredients help soothe the […]
Ultherapy is an ultrasound guided treatment that is used to treat mild to moderate skin laxity and wrinkles around the jowls, under the chin, around the eyes, crow’s feet and above the forehead for a brow lift. Ultherapy works by administering ultrasound energy to specific depths of skin with precise ultrasound guidance, which causes tissue tightening and collagen production. Unlike Lasers, non-surgical Ultherapy can bypass the superficial skin to deliver ultrasound energy at the right depths at the right temperature so it is safe to have during the summer when sun exposure is difficult to avoid. There is no downtime […]

Restylane Lyft is an injectable hyaluronic acid gel used to correct volume loss and treat wrinkles in the face. Due to its larger particle size, it is injected along the periosteum and deep dermis to lift sagging tissue. As we age, sagging occurs (naturally) due to gravity and genetic disposition.
Restylane Lyft formally known as Perlane is the first and only FDA-approved filler indicated to provide fullness to cheeks and add volume to correct and smooth smile lines (nasolabial folds).
As we get older, we experience bone loss and decreased collagen production and elasticity. The malar fat pads which are referred to […]
