BOTOX®

Botulinum toxin, otherwise known as Botox, is a popular non-surgical injection that can temporarily reduce or eliminate frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet, and other unwanted facial lines. Botox is effective because the toxin blocks nerve impulses, which temporarily paralyzes the muscles that cause wrinkles. The result is a refreshed and youthful appearance. The effects of Botox have also been proven to relieve migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes. Cosmed’s board-certified plastic surgeons and medical staff have years of experience with successful Botox injection and hundreds of satisfied patients. Contact Cosmed to schedule your consultation today. (Back to Top)

Fillers
>>Before and After Photos of this procedure

The combination of gravity, sun exposure, and years of smiling, chewing and squinting, can take a toll on our faces. As we age, underlying tissues in our faces break down and leave laugh lines, smile lines, crow’s feet or facial creases anywhere when muscle movement has occurred.

Soft-tissue fillers can fill these lines and creases, and temporarily restore your youthful appearance. These fillers are typically composed of collagen or fat, which is injected beneath the skin to plump up sunken areas of the face, lips, and cheeks.

Injectable fillers may be used alone or in conjunction with a resurfacing procedure, such as a laser treatment, or a recontouring procedure, such as a facelift. At Cosmed we offer a wide selection of facial fillers from your own FAT TRANSPLANTED to semi permanent and permanent materials such as Hyaluronic Acid (Restylane®, Perlane®), Polycrilamida (Aquamid®) that wonderfully work for lip enhancement and correction of facial expression lines. Contact Cosmed to schedule your consultation today and discover the best solution for your face.

Soft Lift

Now we are offering the Soft Lift, a non-surgical face lift procedure that combines BOTOX and Juvederm to dramatically freshen your look and erase the signs of aging by reducing lines in the face while enhancing lips, cheeks and contouring the jawline. The combination of BOTOX and Juvederm helps not only relax and smooth crow's feet, forehead and frown lines, but fills out the volume in your face giving you a younger, natural look.Contact Cosmed to schedule your consultation today and discover the best solution for your face.

CO2 Laser

Laser resurfacing is commonly performed to remove layers of damaged or wrinkled skin, usually to minimize the appearance of fine lines around the mouth and eyes. Laser treatment has also been proven to effectively treat facial scars and areas of uneven pigmentation. You can receive laser resurfacing alone or in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures to achieve dramatic results. (Back to Top)

Photo Rejuvenation 

This procedure uses the Intense Pulse Light (IPL) in order to diminish the effects of skin damage like spots, freckles, wrinkles, frown lines, and potentially cancerous lesions. This procedure is safe and completely non-invasive and is also effective in eliminating varicose veins and other benign vascular lesions. (Back to Top)

Foto Facial Rejuvenation

More and more people are refusing to accept the harsh effects aging has on their skin. This procedure is gently designed to do just that as well as reduce the appearance of redness commonly caused by rosacea by 80-90%. Try Foto Facial Rejuvenation for your face, neck, chest, and even hands. (Back to Top)

Foto Facial Rejuvenation works by employing the advanced Vasculight SR system. This uses tiny amounts of light energy through the skin’s surface to treat specific areas. This stimulates the production of collagen, which eventually softens the appearance of aging skin. Enjoy added benefits like decreased fine lines and wrinkles and redness caused by rosacea. Treatments are generally spaced between three-week intervals. (Back to Top)

Hair Removal

The Photoderm Vasculight Laser TM is able to effectively eliminate hair from all parts of the body regardless of the area or follicle size. Cosmed’s patients use our hair removal treatments on areas like lip, under arm, bikini like, and also larger areas like the back, chest, or legs. (Back to Top)

Mesotherapy

This new therepy is being implemented for overall weight loss, spot weight reduction, cellulite reduction, hair loss, scar revision and wrinkle elimination. The technique of Mesotherapy uses a tiny needle to inject medication into the mesoderm layer of the skin to warrant specific results. Patients have reported that Mesotherapy treatments cause less pain than a quick pinch. Mesotherapy is also a corrective measure for lumps, unevenness, and divots that develop after liposuction.

This procedure was internationally recognized in 1987 at the French Academy of Medicine. The medications that are used in Mesotherapy melt the fat beneath the skin and shrink the fat cells in the Scarpa's fascia layer. The fat dissolves and is excreted by the kidneys and the bowel without any changes in your bowel habits.

Mesotherapy is also a measure used to reduce or eliminate cellulite, which is caused by connective tissue bands that hold down the skin and trap the fat. The medications used in Mesotherapy destroy the connective tissue bands and melt the trapped fat, resulting in a dimple-free appearance.

For cellulite, weight loss, and spot weight reduction, Cosmed’s board-certified plastic surgeons directed inject the medications into the specified areas. After around 5 or more treatments, patients can notice a significant change in size, an improved and smoother skin tone. The fat is melted, dissolved, and is excreted through the kidneys and bowel.

Thermage® 

Get tighter and smoother skin with little to no downtime.

Thermage is a non-invasive procedure that helps tighten and contour your skin in a single treatment. This is a non surgical procedure and no injections are needed.

1. Tighter, smoother skin …
2. Softened wrinkles and lines …
3. Younger looking appearance.

How it works
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 helps tighten existing collagen and form new collagen. Over time, sagging or wrinkled skin is replaced with smoother, tighter skin; improved tone and texture; and an overall younger looking appearance. (Back to Top)
