Smoother, Younger Skin With Fraxel

What if you could literally - grow new skin? With Fraxel laser therapy - you can have fresh, new skin. Fraxel treatment is a safe, non-invasive laser skin treatment that promotes dramatic results through collagen remodeling. This means - the process uses your body's own natural ability to heal itself - to simulate collagen production. This treatment promotes younger-looking skin without the side effects, risks or long downtime of other procedures.

Fraxel Laser therapy treats sun damage, pigmentation problems, melasma, wrinkles - and other signs of aging. The laser effects tiny fractions of skin tissue at a time, with thousands of microscopic laser columns — each just one-tenth the diameter of a hair follicle. Then, your body's natural healing abilities take care of the rest, working from the inside out, replacing damaged tissue with brand new, healthier skin.

Fraxel treatment is unique - as the first non-invasive treatment of its kind and a safe and effective solution for someone with a busy lifestyle.

Healthy Beautiful Lips

Having soft, supple and kissable lips is all about keeping the skin on your lips healthy.

Start with a regular regimen of cleansing and exfoliating your skin - and lips. After cleansing - prevent chapping by using a non-petroleum lip balm that offers true moisturization and hydration of the lips. Petroleum based products can actually dry your lips - while only making them 'feel' moist. Here's another tip - there are great products out there that also an SPF which further protects your lips from the damaging rays of the sun.

Another preventative measure is to include antioxidant protection for your lips. We're huge fans of Antioxidant Lip Repair by SkinCeuticals. Use of antioxidants helps reduce signs of aging and protects your skin from damaging free radicals.

Looking to 'plump things up'? There are several options to make your lips appear more full. You could opt to inject a dermal filler into your lips to enhance their appearance and create fullness. A less-expensive and non-injectible option would be to use a lip plumper product. We offer a few options in lip plump systems, such as Skin Medica TNS Lip Plump System.

There are always treatments and products to help you keep your lips and lip skin their healthiest - protected from the Summer sun - and looking their best.
