Sclerotherapy is a treatment for spider veins. These tiny visible veins are injected with a very fine needle, using a sclerosing agent. This instantaneously makes the veins obliterate and become invisible.

SculpSure is a device that can provide noninvasive fat burning and body contouring. It works by using 1060nm laser that targets fat cells to cause lipolysis, or destruction of the fat cells. It is the first FDA-cleared device for noninvasive body contouring.

Accufit is a muscle toning system that uses external electrical pulses to stimulate muscle contraction. It has the same effect of doing a strenuous workout, all without leaving the chair. The benefits are that the electrical signals can provide stronger muscle contraction than what is typical in a traditional workout. Results can be seen in as few as 4 treatments, but many patients make it a regular treatment.

Using our Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) technology, we offer scalp injections that aim to initiate growth of hair. By using the growth factors provided by PRFM, inactive hair follicles can be reactivated and stimulated to grow hair again. This has been shown to give great results. This is a key portion of nonsurgical hair restoration offered at Youthful Images. PRFM can also be used in conjunction with our hair transplantation procedures. For more information about hair transplantation procedures that we offer.

Using our Clarity II laser, we are able to perform hair removal where ever a patient may desire. We guarantee results. We also have the ability to adjust our setting, allowing this treatment to work on any skin type, which is something that is not always possible with certain lasers.

Nonablative laser treatments can have many targets. Whether it is small wrinkles, pigmented spots, vascular lesions, or scars, these lasers can helps improve it all. Our device, the Clarity II laser, has the ability to be adjusted based on the treatment type and skin type. We are able to treat any skin type by adjusting settings, allowing use to be completely inclusive of treatments.

The CO2 laser is one of the best lasers to help reverse aging. It works by targeting water, inducing just enough damage to the skin to allow your body to rejuvenate the skin by enhancing collagen production, softening and smoothing skin. It provides excellent results in treating fine lines that no surgery can improve. It works very well when done independently, but can be even more beneficial when combined with surgical treatments. Depending on the goals, the CO2 laser can be used with a few different intensities to target different issues.

Microneedling is a treatment that uses a series of extremely fine needles to make numerous micropunctures in the skin. Our device, the Dermafrac, provides a gentle suctioning force to rid the skin of the imperfections, while simultaneously providing microinjections of either selected serums or platelet rich fibrin matrix (PRFM). This allows your skin to build more collagen and improve skin quality. By using selected serums or PRFM, growth factors or directed vitamins can help enhance these results.

Microdermabrasion is a treatment that uses a very fine abrasive surface to “scrub” off the very superficial layer of cells of the skin. This helps take away the most superficial blemishes and skin irregularities, allowing the skin to initiate a rejuvenating process. This can be done on it’s own or in combination with microneedling.

Jawline contouring is a board category of treatments. In addition to using fillers to contour by adding volume, Botox can be used to inject the masseter muscle, a large muscle at the angle of the jaw that can be very large in some people. By injecting this with Botox, it can inactivate the muscle and help it decrease in bulk, allowing a slimmer facial width. This can provide additional relief in people that have issues with teeth clenching, as relaxing this muscle relieves that pressure.

Excessive Sweating can be treated using simple Botox injections. Botox, unlike its use in facial injections, works to paralyze the sweat glands rather than muscles. By injecting certain areas, the sweat glands become inactivated temporarily. These results can typically last around 6 months but can be shorter or longer depending on multiple factors. Areas of use can vary based on the patient, but typical locations include axilla (armpits) and the palms.

Sculptra is an injectable treatment that stimulates your own body to locally increase volume. It contains a compound called poly-L-lactic acid, which essentially forms a framework for your body to lay more collagen fibers. Studies have shown an increase in type I collagen, the main type that exists in our body. This fills out volume, smooths skin, and provides an overall more youthful appearance.

Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix is a unique treatment with multiple modalities. It all begins with a simple blood draw. From there, your own blood is spun at a high speed in a centrifuge to separate the blood cells from the plasma, or fluid portion of the blood. In this fluid, there are many platelets, which release powerful growth factors. This plasma is then isolated and then the fibrin cross-linking that naturally happens during clotting is activated. This PRFM can then be used in multiple techniques, including volumizing injections, hair restoration injections, microneedling applications, and more. The benefit of PRFM over traditional Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections is that by utilizing the naturally occurring fibrin matrix reaction, it allows the platelets to remain in the tissue for 5-7 days. Typical PRP is only present for about 24 hours before the body washes it away. This additional times means multiple additional days of growth factor release. Research has shown this, along with much improved results.

Fillers are injectables that are used to restore volume. The most frequently used are based with a compound called hyaluronic acid. This can be formulated with various “stiffness” for the various uses. Based on the location to be injected, it can be used to fill in deep lines or creases, volumize areas of loss, balance out asymmetries, and much more. The compounds are naturally broken down by your body over time, typically lasting between 1-2 years, depending on multiple factors.

Botox is a neuromodulator, meaning it works by paralyzing muscles. The purpose of these injections are to paralyze specific areas of muscles, frequently in the face, in order to eliminate unwanted lines and creases. These typically last 3-6 months and are one of the most common treatments done in any medspa.
