Botox is a powerful new tool that cosmetic specialists can use in the fight against undue signs of aging, and Artsthetik has a wealth of experience with this treatment option.
Our technicians administer Botox through an injection that goes directly into the tissue of the affected muscles (intramuscular injection), allowing much faster and more noticeable results than with other options.. These treatments are used to relax the muscles that control facial movement by blocking the release of a specific chemical compound known as acetylcholine.
Botox can be used to decrease the visible appearance of wrinkles at key points in the facial structure as well as to treat some common eye related condition such as “crossed eyes” (strabismus) and compulsive blinking (blepharospasm). Botox can even be used to alleviate the symptoms of other disorders like muscular stiffness and spasms, or decrease the frequency and severity of regularly occurring migraine headaches.
Although Botox is not a permanent cure, with symptoms gradually returning as your body processes the injection, it can provide much needed relief from the worst aspects of many ailments. Many individuals see the desired results within just a few days, and the effects of a Botox treatment can last for up to 6 months.
For those whose lives it has improved, Botox is more than cosmetic...it’s an investment in everyday happiness. Talk to the customer care team at Artsthetik today to learn more about our selection of Botox treatment options or to schedule your first appointment with us.
Excessive wrinkles in the hands, neck, and facial areas can arise seemingly overnight make you appear much older. Used as a filler for cosmetic treatments for years, hyaluronic acid is one of the most versatile and effective compounds on the market, and the professionals at Artsthetik specializes in bringing its benefits to our clients.
Many people who consult with us about fillers are surprised to discover that hyaluronic acid is a substance that naturally occurs in the human body. The highest concentrations of this compound are found in eye and joint fluid, reflecting its ability to cushion, lubricate, and protect. This makes hyaluronic acid invaluable to treating unsightly facial wrinkles, and each injection provides continuous protection for up to one year.
Our technicians can use hyaluronic injection to provide a smooth even look to skin in the areas of the nose, lips, chin, cheekbone, jaw, temple, neck, hands, and other points of high visibility. The result after treatment is an attractive, natural look that shows you at your best, regardless of your age. Speak with the customer service staff at Artsthetik today to learn more about turning back the clock on your professional and personal with hyaluronic acid filler treatment.
The “Vampire Facial” has been the subject of many Hollywood headlines in recent years, and now Artsthetik brings this exclusive treatment of the stars to you. If you’ve seen the celebrity photos on social media, you know that the treatment may seem a bit strange at first, but the results are well worth it.
A Platelet Rich Plasma procedure is a combination of microdermabrasion treatment to remove dead skin cells before the application of platelet-rich plasma derived from the serum portion of your own blood, which is characterized by an abundance of platelets designed to supercharge the tissue healing and recovery process. Platelet rich plasma therapy can also be combined with conventional facial treatments such as microneedling to permit deeper penetration of the platelets and their characteristic compounds into deeper layers of skin. These platelets, when applied to the skin, greatly stimulate cell turnover and the development of healthier cell structures.
Platelet rich plasma treatment helps our skin to reach its peak protective performance, increasing the concentration of essential compounds from collagen to elastin while stimulating the organ’s natural antioxidant and hydrating properties. The procedure itself begins with a drawing of blood from a vein near the surface of the skin. The blood is then run through a centrifuge to isolate the platelets from the other material. When the enriched platelets have been processed, the resulting plasma is then slathered across the face and allowed to take effect. Other than the slight pinch from the initial draw, the PRP procedure is completely painless and no more invasive than giving blood.
After the therapy is complete, we recommend that our clients take a day or two away from their normal daily routine in order to protect the sensitive skin from sun and environmental damage. The only common side effect from PRP treatment is slight temporary redness at the treated surface and increased susceptibility to sunburn, which can be counteracted with over the counter sunscreen. We also recommend our clients avoid makeup in order to ensure the microdermabrasion heals properly.
Practically everyone is a candidate for platelet rich plasma therapy, including individuals with premature signs of aging, high levels of sun damage to the skin, and those who just want a more smooth and even tone to maximize their aesthetic appeal. Multiple treatments can take even more dramatic effect, but Artsthetik recommends our clients receive no more than two PRP treatments in a month. Platelet rich plasma therapy offers an accessible way to maintain a youthful, vibrant glow for years to come. Talk to Artsthetik today to learn more about PRP.
