You've probably heard a lot about BOTOX^® Cosmetic. It's been in the news, in fashion, health, and beauty magazines, and on TV. Your friends may even be talking about how it works.

Could this be what you’ve been looking for—a procedure that can temporarily smooth those moderate to severe frown lines between your brows with no surgery and no recovery time? An improvement can be seen within days, lasting for up to 4 months. Results may vary.

Why would you get treated with BOTOX^® Cosmetic?

Almost 3.3 million procedures were performed in 2005 alone—a 16% increase over 2004. Not just models and movie stars, but people from all types of professions have tried it.

In fact, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) ranked BOTOX^® Cosmetic as the most popular physician-administered aesthetic procedure in the United States for the fourth year in a row (surgical and nonsurgical combined).

What's more, the ASAPS surveys ranked BOTOX^® Cosmetic as one of the low-entry-cost facial aesthetic procedures in the United States.

BOTOX^® Cosmetic is approved for the temporary treatment of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people ages 18–65.

Juvéderm™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvéderm™ injectable gel under the skin to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).

Juvéderm™ provides a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm™ compared to a collagen-based dermal filler.^†

• Almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both Juvéderm™ injectable gel and another dermal filler^† preferred Juvéderm™!
• Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.

 After the Procedure
You may experience slight reddening. This is perfectly normal and should subside within a 24 hours. You may apply cosmetics immediately after the procedure.

Physician's Choice of Arizona (PCA) offers a wide variety of AHA (alphahydroxy acid) or natural "fruit acid" peels specifically tailored to your skin's type and individual needs. PCA® even offers peels for sensitive skin types. PCA® peels are light to medium peels which effectively help reduce the depth of surface lines, smooth out rough skin texture, help fade brown spots and assist in drying out acne/blemished skin. They are excellent for patients with active, cystic acne and asphyxiated skin (dry on the surface, oil underneath). PCA® peels are safe and non-toxic and can be used to treat skin on the hands, neck, and chest as well as the face. All PCA® peels are in-office procedures that can be done alone or in conjunction with other procedures.

Peel :The PCA® peel typically takes 20 minutes and may be performed on the neck, chest, hands, arms, and face. The procedure is fast and highly tolerable.

After the Peel : There is no downtime whatsoever with PCA® peels. Within two days your skin will start peeling and flaking like a sunburn. This is perfectly normal and should subside within a one week. You should not apply cosmetics until after the skin heals.

Depending on the depth of the procedure, skin can heal in anywhere from 3 to 7 days. The dramatic results appear as soon as the skin finishes peeling. In conjunction with any of our home care skin regimens like Obagi Nu-Derm restorative system, Skin will continue to improve over the next 4 to 6 weeks becoming firmer, clearer, smoother, and healthier..
