ACTIVE FX
Active FX is the latest advancement in the treatment of aging skin. Active FX dramatically reduces wrinkles and fine lines and tightens and plumps the skin. There is noticeable improvement in skin tone and texture. The results of ActiveFX laser treatment are long-term and, with proper sun protection, can persist for many years. Most effects of treatment become visible right away, whereas others – such as new collagen formation, which leads to continued inner tightening – build up gradually and become more evident over time. Therefore, most people look even better 3-5 months after the procedure.
Active FX is a fractional laser procedure performed in a single treatment with downtime of 3-5 days. The treatment takes less than an hour and requires the use of a topical numbing cream applied one hour prior to the treatment. A mild oral sedative is also offered to reduce anxiety and help you relax during the procedure. A complimentary consultation (contact us) is required prior to your treatment.

NEW ArteFill® is the First FDA-Approved Non-Resorbable Aesthetic Injectable Implant for the Correction of Nasolabial Folds
ArteFill is a unique dual-acting injectable wrinkle filler. First, ArteFill visibly corrects the wrinkle. Then the microspheres provide the permanent support your
skin needs for long-term wrinkle correction.
How does ArteFill work?
ArteFill is a unique dual-acting permanent aesthetic injectable implant that provides both immediate and enduring cosmetic benefits. First, ArteFill visibly
corrects the smile line by providing volume beneath the wrinkle, similar to other dermal fillers. Unlike temporary dermal fillers, ArteFill contains microspheres
that provide the permanent support structure required to sustain the wrinkle correction. The microspheres are made of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), one of the most
widely used synthetic implant materials in medicine. Studies have shown that PMMA microspheres are both biocompatible and safe for use as soft tissue fillers. Since
macrophages and human enzymes are unable to break down PMMA, the microspheres are not degraded or absorbed by the body. The microspheres are 30 to 50 microns in
diameter, barely visible to the naked eye, and are suspended in a purified bovine collagen carrier gel. Once injected, the microspheres reside permanently at the
injection site for persistent wrinkle correction.
How is ArteFill different from BOTOX® Cosmetic and temporary dermal fillers?
BOTOX Cosmetic (e.g., botulinum toxin) is a temporary muscle-paralyzing drug, not a dermal filler. Botox Cosmetic is injected directly into the target muscle to
block the nerve signals from the brain to the muscles so that they cannot contract. Wrinkles then gradually become smoother due to disuse. The effects last for
approximately three to four months. Temporary dermal fillers are made of different kinds of natural or synthetic materials that have been developed over the years
for injection into the skin. The materials in these products are completely metabolized and absorbed by the body over time. As a result, the aesthetic benefits of
these temporary dermal fillers decrease over time, and generally last up to six months. Unlike Botox and existing temporary dermal fillers, ArteFill contains
microspheres made of PMMA. These microspheres are not absorbed or degraded by the human body. Following injection, the PMMA microspheres in ArteFill remain intact
at the injection site and provide a permanent structure to support the wrinkle and help prevent further wrinkling. As a result, we believe that ArteFill will
provide patients with aesthetic benefits that may last for years. This innovative technology platform has created a new category of aesthetic injectable product
known as Permanent Aesthetic Injectable Implant™.
