Instantly Rejuvenate Your Skin with Botox Injections

by

BOTOX® can rejuvenate your skin in a very unique way. Unfortunately, part of the aging process involves getting dynamic wrinkles. The reason why these wrinkles appear on your face as you get older is because your muscles contract again and again as you make facial expressions throughout your lifetime. BOTOX® rejuvenates your skin because it helps to relax those muscles. As a result, the deep creases and lines that you had on your face are smoothed away because of this amazing product.

Something else that contributes to having deep wrinkles on your face is the fact that your skin changes as well. Our skin loses its fullness and elasticity as we grow older, so it is much easier for lines to appear in our face. Your skin the loses collagen and elastin, so it is not as firm and does not bounce back as easily after making facial expressions as it did when you were younger.

We encourage all our clients to take time to learn as much as they can about BOTOX® injections. Take some time to watch videos about this treatment online and look at before and after pictures. You are likely going to be amazed at the rejuvenating effect this product has. It takes an individual who once had a lot of fine lines and wrinkles and leaves their skin looking smooth and soft. In addition to noticing skin rejuvenation and a refreshed appearance, you are likely to notice that others start to treat you better. Why do we say this?

It is very common for people to have frown lines that appear between their eyebrows and on their forehead as a result of the aging process. Besides the fact that these lines just make a person look older, they also make a person look grumpy. As a result, the affected person may not look as approachable or happy as they did when they were younger. When those frown lines are smoothed out, other people feel happier to approach you and be your friend.

You may also notice that you experience benefits in the workplace. In addition to having a younger appearance that will make competing with younger individuals easier, you will look more refreshed. When you look fresh and well rested, it is more likely that your boss will give you more responsibility. However, if you look tired, grumpy and worn out, you may not be the next person up for a promotion.

In order to qualify for BOTOX® treatments, you must be free of serious illnesses that affect your muscular and nervous system. During your consultation, our specialist can help you find out if this treatment is right for you.

The experts at About Face Medical Aesthetics in Stratham are pleased to provide BOTOX® injections among our many personalized cosmetic services. Contact us today to learn more about how BOTOX® can benefit you.

Freeze Your Fat Away with CoolSculpting

by

It is not necessary for you to live with a body that you do not like. This is especially the case if you are dealing with excess fat on your body. There are many treatments that can help people who are at a healthier weight but can’t seem to get rid of certain areas of fat. If you are struggling with stubborn pockets of fat despite regular diet and exercise, CoolSculpting® can help you say goodbye to it for good.

Treatment with CoolSculpting® is completely non-surgical and non-invasive. This fact alone is what draws many people to this unique treatment. While they do not want to have excess weight on their body, not everyone is necessarily interested in undergoing surgery to get rid of it. For many, the downtime that it requires is simply not available for them. Fortunately, you don’t have to rely on surgery to get rid of your trouble areas.

CoolSculpting® allows you to come in for treatment, relax while it is performed and go back to your usual activities immediately afterward. Since no incisions are made and no anesthesia is needed, you don’t have to face the same risks as you would with surgery to get rid of unwanted fat on the body.

So how does CoolSculpting® work? The idea is very simple. When the fat cells on the body are frozen, they die. Since they die, your body naturally flushes them out. In the weeks that follow, the fat cells that were frozen during treatment will be gradually and permanently eliminated from the body. As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, you will never have to deal with those pockets of fat again. For example, if you have your abdominal area treated, you will always be able to enjoy a much slimmer abdomen. If you work out, you will always be able to enjoy visibly toned abs.

Treatment with CoolSculpting® is convenient and comfortable. Most patients feel nothing more than a sensation of intense cold in the treated areas, which quickly become numb. Because of this, you won’t need any anesthesia. Treatment typically does not take long, but it will vary depending on which areas you are targeting. We can help you learn more about what to expect during your consultation with us.

In the weeks that follow your treatment, you will notice the treated areas becoming slimmer and slimmer as the destroyed fat cells are flushed out by the body. Each person responds differently to treatment. When you visit us for your consultation, we will help you to get a realistic idea of what CoolSculpting® can do for you.

CoolSculpting® treatments with the experts at About Face Medical Aesthetics can help you get the body you’ve been working so hard to achieve without the need for surgery or downtime. Contact our office in Stratham to schedule your consultation and learn more!

What is Ultherapy?

by

Ultherapy® is a treatment that is used to tighten the skin and help patients regain a more youthful look that resembles what it was in the past. It makes use of the same ultrasound energy that is used for imaging purposes. In fact, the images that are captured during the process can help our medical professional deliver it more precisely. Understanding how Ultherapy® is beneficial becomes a little easier with some fundamental knowledge of what creates the need for skin tightening in the first place.

The Role of Collagen

There is a substance in the skin called collagen that helps keep it full. This protein is produced in the deeper layers of the skin. In addition to providing fullness, collagen helps keep the skin tight and hold tissue together. The way the body produces collagen changes over time. As you age, less of it will be present than before.

When collagen levels decrease, the skin will not be able to maintain the same level of tightness it once had. The looseness of the skin that results will cause it to sag. This is why sagging of the jowls is a common sign of aging. Loose skin will also cause lines and wrinkles to form, especially around the eyes and mouth and across the forehead.

How Ultherapy® Helps

Since many of the signs of aging can be attributed to a drop in the production rate of collagen in the skin, it is reasonable to assume that finding a way to increase the level of collagen will return the skin to a former level of tightness. This is the purpose of Ultherapy®.

The ultrasound energy that is emitted during the administration of an Ultherapy® treatment causes the tissue to become warmer. The warmth then stimulates the dermis to produce collagen at a higher level than it would have without treatment. Following the treatment, additional collagen will begin to grow until it reaches its peak a few months later. During this time, the skin will gradually become tighter and fuller thanks to the increased collagen. The tighter skin will be free from those unwanted lines and wrinkles that prompted you to seek treatment in the first place.

Because Ultherapy® makes use of ultrasound, it offers advantages that are difficult to obtain with other treatment methods. The images that are produced by the ultrasound are displayed on a computer screen as the treatment is delivered. This allows our specialist to see what is happening as it happens. As a result, the settings can be changed as necessary to make sure optimum results are attained. The right amount of energy can be more easily directed at the proper depths.

Ultherapy® comes with little to no discomfort and is performed as an outpatient procedure. You can immediately return to your normal activities. We can provide you with more information about this treatment during your consultation with us at About Face Medical Aesthetics.

Treating Wrinkles with Sublative Rejuvenation

by

You have made the decision that you must do something about your wrinkles. However, you are not sure which treatment to use. Thankfully, you do have a lot of options. We offer many effective methods of skin rejuvenation at our clinic. One great way to revitalize your skin is with Elos® sublative rejuvenation.

So what is sublative rejuvenation? This is an amazing technique that rejuvenates your skin. In addition to improving the overall texture of your skin, it reduces wrinkles and promotes collagen production. It can even be used to treat scars and superficial skin lesions. So if you have acne scars, this treatment may be right for you.

Elos Sublative® utilizes bipolar radiofrequency to reach the deeper layers of your skin. Any time you are trying to address skin imperfections using energy, it has to be delivered to the lower levels of the skin without damaging or overheating the top layer of skin. Thankfully, sublative rejuvenation allows you to reach the lower layers of skin and still keep the top layers intact. It maximizes collagen production when it reaches those lower layers.

After treatment, you are going to see that the condition of your skin improves. More and more new healthy skin cells and collagen will be produced in response to the radiofrequency energy. So if you are dealing with skin lesions, moderate wrinkles, and even dark circles under the eyes, you can enjoy as your skin grows smoother and healthier by the day. The elasticity of your skin will improve, which will lead to younger looking skin.

While many clients see results after a single treatment, best results are usually seen after three to five treatments. These treatments are going to be spaced about a month or so apart in order to give you the best results. You may be wondering how many treatments you will need in order to see your skin improve and to see fewer wrinkles on your face. This will depend on factors such as your specific skin issues and personal goals. During your consultation, one of our medical professionals will be happy to answer all of your questions about sublative rejuvenation and what it can do for you.

Because sublative rejuvenation with Elos® does no damage to the outer layer of skin, you won’t have to worry about setting aside a significant time to recover. In fact, it comes with little to no downtime at all. This makes it a great choice for those with busy lifestyles. Wrinkles, acne scarring, dark circles, and sagging skin can all be effectively treated with just a few short treatments.

The medical professionals at About Face Medical Aesthetics are proud to offer Elos Sublative® for easy and effective sublative rejuvenation. To learn more about this innovative treatment, contact our office in Stratham today.

Reduce Acne Scarring with Chemical Peels

by

Having a face full of acne can be disheartening. Very few people who have acne feel confident meeting new people or being in a situation where they feel like they are on display. It is hard for a person to feel confident when they know that their skin is plagued with pimples and that deep red color that is associated with acne. One of the things that a lot of people will talk about as they get older is that dealing with acne scarring is in some ways worse than dealing with acne. Eventually, acne breakouts will clear up. However, when a person has acne scarring, they are never able to forget their acne breakouts. Their skin has an uneven texture and color. Acne scars can be very difficult to hide.

One effective way that individuals have been able to treat acne scarring is with chemical peels. These are effective and beneficial for many reasons. Chemical peels are designed to exfoliate the skin. In addition to getting rid of the top layers of skin, they affect the skin just enough in order to trick the skin to produce more beneficial substances that will improve acne scarring.

Some individuals have been able to reduce acne scarring using a light chemical peel on a regular basis. Some find that they are able to get fantastic results by scheduling a facial each month that includes a light chemical peel. In addition to getting the benefits of the chemical peel, other methods are used during the facial that encourage the skin to look healthy, clear and smooth.

Depending on the severity of your acne scarring, a deeper strength chemical peel may be needed. When you use a deeper chemical peel, you are going to need to plan to spend a little bit of time after the procedure recovering. Depending on the brand and strength that is used, you may have peeling on your skin for a couple of days or weeks after the initial peel was given. However, as soon as you fully heal, you are going to notice a marked difference in your skin. The acne scars will be less visible. Your skin will be smoother and the texture will be more even.

The best way for you to find out if you are a good candidate for chemical peels is to come to About Face Medical Aesthetics for a consultation. During this appointment at our office in Stratham, we are going to look at the severity of your acne scarring and also see if you have any current acne breakouts. Then we will recommend a treatment that will not only have you looking your best, but also have you feeling your best. Contact us today to schedule an appointment to learn more!
