We offer a variety of very safe, effective peels for every skin type. Jessners peels are especially good for skin types 3 or higher. This specific peel is recommended for darker skin and will help to minimize pore size, help to even out skin tone and texture, and also help to clear up acne. Feel free to come in for a free consultation and I can provide a more customized recommendation.

While prior collagen fillers have historically been associated with a short duration of results, the new collagen, Evolence, provides a natural and long-lasting collagen solution. Information from a U.S. clinical trial has proven that 97% of the patients maintained the effects through 6 months. Data gained from animal studies, foreign clinical studies and usage of Evolence in other countries has demonstrated duration for up to 12 months. Collagen should not be confused with hyaluronic acids, such as Restylane and Juvederm, which are non collagen dermal fillers and also long lasting.

Hi everyone. This is Gina, an esthetician here at the center. I’m really excited because I had my first DOT treatment a few weeks ago and I’m starting to see a beautiful texture change in my skin. The main reason for choosing the DOT was to minimize acne scarring that I’ve had on my cheeks for about 10 years. It was pretty easy. It took about 30 minutes and surprisingly, was not painful at all. I would definitely do this again. My skin will continue to change within the next few months so I’ll keep you all posted on my continued improvement.

Botox and fillers help maintain a youthful appearance 2 different ways. Fillers are natural, gel-like substances that correct wrinkles by adding volume around the muscle with injections. Botox is a solution that blocks the chemicals that cause facial muscles to contract, thereby relaxing them. While fillers instantly “fill” the wrinkle, Botox will help prevent existing wrinkles from becoming more pronounced and help prevent new wrinkles from developing.
If you are considering Botox or a facial filler for the correction of fine lines and wrinkles but are unsure which is right for you, call 847-367-8815 today to schedule your free professional consultation with me or one of our nurses. We will make customized recommendations based on your skin type and the results you are looking for.

In November of 2008, Artes Medical, the manufacturer of Artefill, filed bankruptcy. While there may have been corporate reasons for this, the ArteFill product (despite its long-lasting or permanent effects) had some disadvantages compared to other dermal injectable fillers. For example, cosmetic treatments are a budget issue for many and the high initial cost, even if it lasts longer, eliminated much of the market potential. In addition, because it was not recommended for use in the lips, one of the most common uses for injectable fillers, another segment of the patient market was eliminated. These two factors narrowed the market potential for this ArteFill considerably. We were, however, very happy with the results of ArteFill and did not see any complications with use.
Artefill was the first permanent dermal filler FDA approved in the last decade, but for now, ArteFill remains unavailable for the foreseeable future. With similar outcomes, we also offer Silikon 1000 as a permanent dermal filler. Silikon 1000 has not been FDA approved for cosmetic purposes but in our hands has been shown to be safe and effective. Other FDA approved injectable dermal filler options are Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Evolence, Collagen, and Radiesse.
