Frequently Asked Questions

Surgery is not always necessary to achieve youthful, rejuvenated skin. Autologous Conditioned Plasma therapy is a groundbreaking non-surgical treatment that can be used for cosmetic and regenerative purposes.

What is Autologous Conditioned Plasma?

• Autologous Conditioned Plasma is an important rejuvenation and regenerative component found in our blood. Blood is comprised of two main elements: plasma and red blood cells. Within plasma, there are white blood cells and Autologous Conditioned Plasma with nutrients, growth factors, and much more. Autologous Conditioned Plasma consists of all the following:

1. Transforming growth factor beta
2. Platelet-derived growth factor
3. Keratinocyte growth factor
4. Fibroblast growth factor
5. Vascular endothelial growth factor
6. Connective tissue growth factor
7. Epidermal growth factor
8. Insulin-like growth factor 1
9. Insulin-like growth factor 2

How Do You Get Autologous Conditioned Plasma?

About 1 vial of blood (possibly more depending on the treatment and treatment area size) is drawn from the patient and the sample is then placed in a centrifuge. This is a special device the spins the sample at an extremely high velocity to separate the plasma from the red blood cells.

Once separated, the specialist can then retrieve just the fibrin and autologous conditioned plasma from the top layer with a special syringe. It is then ready to inject.

Autologous Conditioned Plasma Services We Offer

• Standard Autologous Conditioned Plasma Injections

One skin rejuvenation treatment we offer at Skin Perfect Medical Aesthetics is pure Autologous Conditioned Plasma injections. This is used to provide a 'pick me up' to the skin as it works to induce collagen production in the treatment area.

• Dermal fillers with Autologous Conditioned Plasma

Dermal fillers like Juvederm and Sculptra are used to add youthful volume to the cheeks, lips, and templates as well as fill in deep wrinkles to smooth the skin. This particular Autologous Conditioned Plasma treatment is a combination of traditional dermal filler injections, but in addition, Autologous Conditioned Plasma is injected on top of the filler. By injecting the two together, the face will have more volume and better contour from the dermal fillers and the Autologous Conditioned Plasma on top will revitalize the skin from the inside out.

• Microneedling with Autologous Conditioned Plasma

1. Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation treatment that creates little micro channels in the skin with tiny needles to induce the skin's healing response. The micro channels themselves heal within a couple of hours, but they are perceived to be 'wounds' by the skin which then causes skin to produce an influx in collagen and elastin to repair the wounds. At Skin Perfect Medical Aesthetics, we use the Dermapen, an automated pen-shaped microneedling device that can reach varying depths for different treatment levels.

• Stretch Marks

1. Autologous Conditioned Plasma treatment for stretch marks is all the rage. While Autologous Conditioned Plasma can be injected on its own to treat stretch marks, we prefer to perform microneedling with Autologous Conditioned Plasma because the Autologous Conditioned Plasma produces more growth factors when the healing process is initiated, in turn, better overall results. Autologous Conditioned Plasma stretch mark treatment can be performed anywhere on the body, including the more common areas like the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and breasts.

• Autologous Conditioned Plasma hair Restoration

1. There is no real downtime needed after Autologous Conditioned Plasma hair restoration treatments. Patients may experience slight swelling and redness; however, this will dissipate rapidly. For the first days after the treatment, patients are advised to take it easy and do not perform any vigorous activities. The ingredients found in Autologous Conditioned Plasma will speed up the recovery time as well.

Cellfina

• Summer is approaching, which means it's time for shorts, bathing suits, and showing some skin! However, many women may feel self-conscious during this time due to the appearance of cellulite on their thighs and buttocks. This is a common concern for women, which is the reasoning behind the creation of Cellfina. This treatment helps to remove the look of cellulite on the body quickly and easily.*

Before learning the Cellfina treatment, it is important that patients understand what cellulite is and how it affects the body. Cellulite, clinically known as adiposis edematosa, is a condition in which the skin has a lumpy, dimpled appearance due to fat deposits pushing through the connective tissues that are just beneath the skin. This condition develops mainly on the thighs and buttocks and can be a source of embarrassment for women and men, although women are most commonly affected.

Causes

There are many causes for cellulite, such as lack of physical activity, slow metabolism, and genetics. Age is also a significant cause for this condition because, through the natural aging process, the body's production of collagen and elastin will decrease. This can lead to weakened connective tissues and make the skin more prone to being pulled by subcutaneous fat. It is important to remove active and avoid eating too many carbohydrates and sugars to help prevent the appearance of cellulite.

Levels

Everyone's body is different and will be affected by cellulite to various degrees. There are different levels of cellulite that a patient may have. These cellulite levels are listed in detail below.

Level 1

Level 1 on the cellulite scale indicates that there is no visible dimpling to the skin. However, at a microscopic level, patients will be able to see that the connective tissues are experiencing slight tension and undergoing structural changes. This will be noticeable when pinching the skin together, revealing mild dimpling.

Level 2

In Level 2, there will be visible bumps in the skin when standing. This is because the skin's elasticity has decreased and there is growing tension in the connective tissues. At a microscopic level, there will be even further anatomical changes.

Level 3

Ripples and bumps in the skin are visible when standing, as well as when sitting. The skin begins to have noticeable changes to its texture, resembling the look of an orange peel, as well as experiencing the signs from the other levels, one and two.

What is Cellfina?

• Cellfina is minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that reduces the look of cellulite on the thighs and buttocks*. Cleared by the FDA, Cellfina has become the leading cellulite reduction treatment on the market. The procedure is quick, efficient, and completely safe while also providing long-lasting results*.

The Cellfina device uses a pocket-sized applicator to target a specific area and cuts the connective tissues that are responsible for the appearance of cellulite. When these are cut, it stops the connective tissues from pulling on the skin and allows for a smoother, more youthful skin surface*.

Cellfina Treatment Process

• Before beginning the Cellfina procedure, the patient's cellulite areas will be marked to ensure accurate and precise treatment. The physician will then place the Cellfina applicator on top of the treatment area, which will pull the skin into it using vacuum suction.

Results

Studies have shown that Cellfina has an 85% patient satisfaction rate after three months and jumps to 93% after one year*. Once the body has fully healed, the results are very noticeable*. This treatment allows patients to attained smoother thighs and buttocks without ever needing a surgical procedure*.

Coolsculpting

• It's called stubborn fat for a reason. No matter how much effort and pain we put into eating healthy and exercising, there's no gain. It's virtually impossible to lose that muffin top and those love handles. It seems we're forced to just live with them or think surgery.

• Here's the skinny: developed by Harvard scientists, CoolSculpting is a unique, patented, clinically proven procedure* that freezes fat cells without damaging the skin. There's no knife. No suction hoses. No needles. No lasers, even. After the treatment, patients get on with their busy day.

Benefits of CoolSculpting

• Patients can lose even more weight with additional appointments, if the patient and the doctor deem necessary. What does that mean? Simply put, clothes fit better. The patient looks better. The fat cells are naturally reduced from the body over the following few months, leaving patients feeling more like themselves again*.

CoolSculpting is totally non-surgical, FDA-cleared, and there's usually no downtime whatsoever - besides reading a book or checking emails during the appointment. How cool is that? And what's more, there are no pills or supplemtns. As long as the patient maintains their weight with normal diet and exercise, the long-term results should remain stable*. Freezing fat ... what a cool idea!

This healing response stimulates collagen production and the development of new healthy skin, effectively taking years off the face for a younger, invigorated appeal.

How Does the Dermapen Work?

• The Dermapen is an electric hand piece that commands tiny needles. When powered up, the needles will start to vacillate at a rate of almost 110 rotations per second. When placed on the skin this creates tiny perforations in the skin's surface and triggers a healing response which produces collagen - a key ingredient in keeping the skin looking young and healthy.

• The Dermapen can work at various depths in order to correct different skin problems. The needles can penetrate the skin from anywhere between .25mm to 2.5mm.

• Treatment Areas: Most frequently used on the face, it can also be used to treat skin related issues on other parts of the body. One popular treatment spot is the midsection in order to diminish the appearance of stretch marks. However, Dermapen microneedling can be used in most places where there is scarring, stretch marks, or other skin imperfections.

In the United States, nearly twenty percent of the poplation have tattoos, and the number is continuing to trend upward. Professionally made tattoos are permanent markings on the body made with inks injected into the skin. For many people, their feelings about their tattoos change over time. In these cases, there is laser tattoo removal.

• Our PicoCare 450 Laser treatment utilizes the fastest laser wavelength technology available. The PicoCare 450 is the ultimate laser tattoo removal system, employing a 4-wavelength picosecond laser.

How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

Previously, tattoo removal was achieved using methods like dermabrasion or surgical excision. These techniques have ultimately proven limited and were often painful. In the 1960s, lasers were first applied to tattoo removal wit limited success.

Is Tattoo Removal For Me?

As tattoos age, the ink particles can fade or migrate, which results in a blurry image. Another common reason for wanting a tattoo removed is due to professional appearance. Tattoos in prominent areas can present problems if clothing cannot easily cover them.

The Treatment

The treatment session can take as little as fifteen minutes, and you will be back on your feet, returning to normal activities. Some people experience redness and swelling of the treatment area, but this will disappear after a few days. Antibacterial ointment and gauze are applied to prevent infection.

Lumenis Laser Hair Removal

• The Lumenis laser, Skin Perfect Medical Aesthetics laser hair removal system of choice, has a cooling mechansim that keeps the skin cold for increased patient comfort. Although laser hair treatments are safe and comfortable, patients often state they experience a feeling like a snapping rubber band. The cooling technology lessens any unpleasant sensation patients might experience while undergoing treatment. Laser hair removal provides long-lasting results after completing a series of treatments.

Both men and women deal with the inconvenience, irritation, and embarrassment caused by having excess hair on the body. It normally takes multiple treatments in order to destroy the majority of the hair follicles in a given area. Laser hair removal treatments not only remove hair but it also helps smooth out the skin that has become irritated and bumpy due to constant shaving.

• How Does it Work?

The Lumenis laser works to remove hair through a heating process that will work to destroy the hair entirely and help prevent new hair from growing. Lumensis uses a CHILLTIP on the handheld laser piece in order to provide comfort while undergoing the heated treatment. This cooling method is sustained throughout the entire procedure, keeping the skin cold before and during the laser treatment. The HIT feature consists of the vacuuming method used to remove the hair. The vacuum pulls the skin closer to the heat, treats the target area and then releases the skin, leaving it unharmed and the underlying hair damaged, as intended.

• Benefits

Laser hair removal is an efficient, long-lasting method for reducing unwanted hair growth. From the very treatment, hair growth will begin to slow and unwanted hairs will begin to then. After completion of a recommended series of treatments, patients can expect to see a 70%-90% reduction in hair growth and results are long-lasting. It should be noted that this treatment is not a permanent solution for hair removal but will provide lasting and very satisfying results for each and every patient once finished with the allotted treatments.

Are there Any Restrictions On My Activity After Treatment?

You can return to your normal activities right away, but some redness may occur*. The use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated areas exposed to the sun.

What do Laser Hair Removal Treatments Feel Like?

The Lumenis handpiece cools and soothes as it glides along your skin. When the pulse of light is delivered, some patients experience a mild pinching or stinging sensation.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Most areas require a minimum of 6 treatments. However, the number of Lumenis treatments required for optimal long-term benefits depends on multiple factors - hair thickness, the area treated and your hair's growth cycle.

What Happens After the Treatment?

Immediately following your Lumenis treatment, the area may appear a bit red and swollen, usually resolving within a few hours. Three to seven days after treatment you may experience what seems to be regrowth of hair. Actually, most of these hairs are being shed as a result of your treatment and are not regrowing. Between treatments, you should not wax or pluck your hair, but it is permissible to shave 4 days after treatment.

IPL Photofacial Treatment

• The power of light has been harnessed to achieve brilliant, non-surgical facial rejuvenation. With the IPL treatment, you can clear away unsightly skin blemishes like age spots, fine lines, redness and large pores. IPL treatments penetrate into the skin layer and erase blemishes without the need for a single incision or uncomfortable topical chemicals. Known to be both safe and effective, IPL treatments have transformed the world of skincare.

High-energy light waves are used to reduce or eliminate many common effects of aging, including skin discoloration, fine lines, and facial wrinkles. IPL treatments are effective due to a process called photorejuvenation where a computer controlled flash gun pulsed light in the special range of 400 to 1200 nm to heat chromophores in the skin. Chromophores are structures in the skin that contribute to the color of a cell.

Skin Type

When IPL therapy is used to treat conditions from acne to rosacea, a huge side benefit is a general improvement to the quality of the texture of the skin. Over multiple treatments, blood flow to the skin's surface is improved, leading to a healthier, looking, smoother skin.

• Pore Size

Yet another benefit of IPL photofacials is that they minimize enlarged pores by tightening them.

Broken Capillaries

• The light from the Lumenis M22 IPL penetrates into the epidermis layer to target chromophore structures where blood vessels, pigment, and collagen can be found. The broadband energy of the IPL pulse also triggers blood flow and stimulates collagen growth. And this, in turn, erases broken capillaries, along with reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

Areas on the Body That Can Be Treated

• IPL can be used to treat any area of the body, although the most common treatment areas are the face, chest, neck, and hands.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

• Virtually any part of your body with uneven skin tone, diffuse redness, or sun and age spots can be safely treated.

Spectra Laser Peel

Spectra Laser Toning

• Spectra Laser Toning is a safe, gentle and effective treatment ideal for certain types of pigmented lesions. Certain commonly acquired pigmented lesion disorders have been difficult to treat in the past with lasers and other light sources that target melanin. Spectra Laser Toning is highly safe and effective in the treatment of the symptoms melasma and colasma.

• Is a simple, effective treatment with high patient satisfaction levels and can take as little as fifteen minutes per session. It is the ideal treatment for epidermal and dermal melasma. There is virtually no downtime, however, some patients will darken up in certain spots, but the spots should flake off within 2 weeks. In addition, a series of Laser Tonings can help to even skin tone and texture.

Vein Therapy

The vascular therapy laser system delivers pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the blood vessel which is then reabsorbed by your body. Blood flow will then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin's surface.

How does coolglide vein therapy work?

The Cutera CoolGlide systems deliver pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel which is later reabsorbed by your body.

What Types of Veins can be treated?

The Cutera CoolGlide can remove unsightly veins from all parts of the body. Small, facial veins (or "telangiectasia") can be treated quickly without bruising or complication.

What do patients feel during the treatment?

Most patients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the handpiece. Following the treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent.

Radiofrequency treatments have forms where tightening and firming skin is concerned. Like laser and LED treatments, radiofrequency uses energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production, but the heat is electrical rather than light based.

Exilis Ultra Femme

• Is a vaginal rejuvenation treatment that effectively and conveniently improves vaginal tightness, lubrication, and appearance. The treatment uses radiofrequency energy and heating to rehabilitate youthful vaginal function and appearance gently.

• Due to aging, the experience of childbirth, or a natural degeneration in vaginal tissue, many women experience discomfort during physical activities or a loss of sensation during sex.

• Clinical studies have demonstrated that Exilis Ultra Femme delivers consistent, measurable improvements for the majority of patients. Studies report as much as 89% of patients experience improvements during intercourse. No patients in the study report unsatisfactory results. 

The Treatment

• The Exilis Ultra Femme treatment is an internal, non-surgical, radio frequency based treatment. On the day of the procedure, patients will be awake and resting comfortably in a discreet, private treatment room. A specialized, one-time use Exilis treatment head is attached to the handpiece, which is then inserted into the vaginal canal. The lubricated treatment head is designed to project radiofrequency energy in 360-degree volumetric heating, which ensures total coverage.

Thermage

• Skin Perfect Medical offers the advanced skin treatment Thermage, which is the only non-invasive procedure that helps tighten and contour your skin in a single treatment with no surgery, no injections, and little to no downtime.

• Thermage uses unique radiofrequency (RF) technology to safely heat the deep layers of your skin, while cooling the surface of your skin to keep it intact during the procedure. This deep heating stimulates your body's natural skin renewal process, which tightens existing collagen and forms new collagen. Overtime, sagging or wrinkled skin is replaced with smoother, tighter skin; improved tone and texture; and an overall younger looking appearance.

How is thermage technology different from other tightening procedures?

• Unlink some other procedures, Thermage involves no surgery, no injections and little to no downtime, and Thermage works on all skin colors - on and off the face. While laser treatments and other radiofrequency procedures also tighten skin, no other treatment heats as deeply as Thermage.

What do the results appear, and how long do they last?

• Visible results may be immediate, and they can appear over time in the course of your body's natural collagen rebuilding process. For most patients, measurable tightening and contouring appear gradually in the two to six months following a single treatment session. Results can last years depending on your skin condition and aging process.

What conditions does thermage treat?

• On the face, Thermage can treat sagging skin, losse jowls, lack of definition in the jaw line, sagging neck skin ("turkey neck"), wrinkles and fine lines, and lack of definition in the lips. Around the eyes, Thermage can treat under eye bags, hooding, rough texure on the eyelids, wrinkles and fine lines, and other contributors to tired looking eyes. Elsewhere on the body, Thermage can treat wrinkled, crepey, sagging or bulging skin as well as the appearance of cellulite.

Thermiva Vaginal Rejuvenation

• As women age, their inner and outer genitalia can change in appearance and sensation. ThermiVa is a nonsurgical, painless treatment that uses thermal energy to tighten the labia for a more attractive and youthful appearance, and tighten the vaginal canal for enhanced intimate sensitivity. But the benefits of vaginal rejuvenation with ThermiVa don't stop there! The treatment can also address issues such as stress incontinence and labia atrophy.

What is Thermiva?

• ThermiVa is the leader in non-ablative vaginal rejuvenation technology. ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation uses radiofrequency technology to tighten and improve the apperance of the labia and vagina for a more feminine and youthful appearance. This treatment has the added benefit of reducing the side benefits of stress incontinence, improving laxity and dryness of the labia and vagina, and increasing sensitivity and orgasmic functionality. Many of these side effects occur due to vulvovaginal atrophy and laxity, which can occur as a result of childbirth, aging, premenopausal and menopausal tissue degeneration.

Good Candidates for Thermiva

• Vaginal rejuvenation procedures, such as labiraplasty and ThermiVa, are somewhat controversial. However, at Skin Perfect Medical Aesthetics, we don't believe there are "right" or "wrong" reasons for choosing a vaginal treatment, as long as the patient is doing it for their own happiness.

Recent mothers can undergo ThermiVa treatment just six weeks following childbirth. In fact, ThermiVa may help the body recover from childbirth even faster.

Results

• Patients will able to see, and feel, results from ThermiVa right away. Prior to the procedure, we will take before pictures. These photographs will only include the labia and a small portion of the patient's leg, so the patient will not be identifiable in any way.

• Results from ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation are noticable immediately but will continue to improve. Over the course of the next two to three weeks, the patient will notice that their vaginal tissue is starting to get softer and tighter. Futhermore, they will notice increased nerve sensitivity in the G-spot area, clitoral area, and around the vagina in general, as there is increased blood flow to these regions.

Coolsculpting

• CoolSculpting for men has been gaining more popularity as a non-invasive treatment that reduces stubborn fat stores. Many otherwise healthy adult men have problem areas that are resistant to exercise and dieting.
• A simple CoolSculpting treatment provides you with a nonsurgical option to remove that fat and obtain your ideal six-pack, slim waist or defined jawline.

The treatment has alot of versatile panels that are placed all over the body. These include:

• CoolCore Advantage and Advantage Plus. These two applicators are the most commonly used because they are the larger of the CoolSculpting applicators. These applicators are commonly applied to the abdomen, waist, hips and make chest. This treatment can improve your appearance and define your masculine physique.
• CoolMini. As the name indicates, this applicator is small and is commonly used for improving the jawline. If you struggle with a double chin, this treatment may be your ideal solution.
• CoolPetite. This is another small CoolSculpting device that can be used to improve definition along the arms, thighs, and back.

Many men are perfect for CoolSculpting. This procedure is for active men who have a busy life, do not want to undergo surgery or cannot take the time for a lengthy recovery.

CoolSculpting is not meant to be a weight loss alternative but rather aims to slim, tone and define areas of the body that have difficult fat deposits. If you are struggling with reducing your fact, schedule a consultation with one of our experts today!

The CoolSculpting treatment process will be discussed along with its potential risks. There are no known side effects other than symptoms such as bruising and discoloration.

Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser hair removal for men is a modern solution that gets rid of unwanted hair with long-term results. Whether your goal is to reduce a dense eyebrow patch or achieve smoother, hair-free skin, laser hair removal can achieve the results you are looking for.

Multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal, long-lasting results.

Botox for Men

Botox is a highly popular treatment among both men and women. A healthy face spells success: more and more men are deciding that they would like to maintain a youthful, healthy appearance through their 20s, 30s, and 40s. It is important to receive your Botox from skilled professionals like the team at Skin Perfect Medical, who understand the unique needs of the male facial structure.

In addition to its cosmetic uses, Botox can reduce the symptoms of hyperhidrosis and migraines.

Ultherapy is a non-surgical procedure that tightens and lifts facial skin to restore a youthful, rejuvenated appearance. Similarly to a facelift, this treatment lifts and tightens the skin around the neck and face. Ultherapy is non-surgical procedure which penetrates the skin with ultrasound energy, effectively targeting deep tissues to reinvigorate your localized collagen production.

Ultherapy is a less-intensive, non-surgical facelift alternative for treating sagging and skin laxity around the face, neck, and decolletage. Utherapy is an FDA-approved, high-focus ultrasound device that stimulates deep layers of skin to tighten and life the treated areas, but doesn't disturb the surface of the skin.

How Does It Work?

Once the procedure is in progress, the ultrasound waves target the deeper layers of the skin and trigger the body's natural healing response. The waves stimulate collagen and elastin creation. As the skin regenerates from within, the surface skin will slowly become more smooth and youthful. Boosting growth of new collagen helps reduce the look of aging by promoting healthy volume within the skin, which in turn fills in and smooths fine lines and wrinkles.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Good candidates for this procedure are dissatisfied with sagging or lax skin around the face, neck or under the chin. Candidates may have considered a surgical facelift to attain a more youthful aesthetic, but would rather avoid an invasive surgical procedure.

Recovery

Once the Ultherapy treatment is complete, patients are imediately back on their feet and able to continue their daily routine. Some redness may occur and the treated area may be warm to the touch, but this will dissipate within a few hours.

With Ultherapy, there is no downtime.

Results

The results of Ultherapy are not instantaneous and require some time to become apparent. Over the two to three months following the treatment session, lifting and tightening will continue on the cellular level. Deep in the skin of the treated areas, the body's natural healing process is kicked into action by ultrasound heating.
