Anti-Aging Treatments
Getting older is inevitable. Looking older is optional. An aging appearance is the result of normal aging and the effects of the sun (medically called photo aging). At Bellissima, we have a full suite of FDA-approved medical aesthetic treatments designed to help you acheive and maintain that 10-years-younger look. FDA approval means the FDA has deemed the medical treatments to be both safe and effective. Our treatments, detailed below, include medical grade chemical peels, microdermabrasions, intense pulsed light (IPL) photorejuvenation, collagen remodeling, and OmniluxTM light treatments. CHEMICAL PEELS
Chemical peels are used to improve the skin's appearance by applying a chemical solution to the skin, causing the top layers of skin to separate and peel off. The new skin is smoother, less wrinkled, and may be more even in color. We may enhance the results of a chemical peel with laser/light-based rejuvenation techniques, or combine with another procedure, such as dermal fillers or Botox. A thorough evaluation at a free anti-aging consultation will help determine what best meets your needs. To learn more about chemical peels, click here.MICRODERMABRASIONS
A microdermabrasion is a process that offers safe and controlled exfoliation of the skin. This procedure utilizes medical grade micro-crystals, which are propelled at a high speed across the skin's surface to remove the outer layer of skin. At the same time, debris and used crystals are vacuumed into a sealed waste container. This technique is fast, relatively painless, and results can be seen immediately.Microdermabrasion creates blood flow to the surface of the skin, increasing oxygenation which encourages cell renewal. Recent studies have proven that it also stimulates the growth of new collagen. The treatment creates a flushing and cleansing effect below the skin's surface resulting in a vibrant, healthy appearance and complexion. To learn more about microdermabrasions, click here.
INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL) PHOTOREJUVENATION
IPL photorejuvenation erases skin damage without disrupting the skin's surface and simutaneously treats a wide range of facial problems to improve the texture and complexion of the skin. A gradual decrease in overall redness and flushing can be expected. Smoother skin, smaller pore size and fading of sun spots will be seen. Rosacea, a common vascular problem, will show significant improvement. IPL photorejuvenation is based on light absorption in melanin and haemoglobin, so treatments are most efficient in patients who are not dark-skinned or sun-tanned.

Collagen remodeling is a revolutionary treatment for wrinkles. The laser process involves heating the dermis while cooling the overlying epidermis which stimulates the natural production of neo-collagen. This neo-collagen gradually reduces and softens wrinkles and gives the skin a younger and fresher look. To learn more about collagen remodeling, click here.OMNILUXTM LIGHT TREATMENTS
OmniluxTM delivers a totally natural method of light-only skin rejuvenation which uses the body's own natural processes to help counteract the effects of aging. Unlike some anti-aging treatments that work as a result of the body's response to damage, OmniluxTM stimulates natural processes to rejuvenate the skin. Because OmniluxTM stimulates cells involved in repair of the skin and increases blood flow, it can be used successfully to enhance and improve other skin treatments. We typically recommend OmniluxTM treatments to augment chemical peels, microdermabrasions, IPL photorejuvenation, collagen remodeling, and other skin treatments.

ANTI-AGING PACKAGES
The most effective anti-aging treatment is a package of micropeels (microdermabrasion plus chemical peel), IPL photorejuvenation, collagen remodeling, and OmniluxTM light treatments. We have packaged these treatments into a six-month facial rejuvenation package (for those who are just starting facial rejuvenation) and a twelve-month facial maintenance package (for those who have completed the facial rejuvenation package). These anti-aging treatment packages are priced at signficant discount to the prices of the individual treatments.
