Light Therapy
LED Photofacial Therapy is an alternative for those looking for a less expensive, milder and more natural way to increase collagen production, treat acne, and even out their complexion. NASA published the first clinical study that showed cell turnover at 150-200 times the normal rate than cells not stimulated by the light. LED LightStim provides three different colors or wavelengths of light to treat different skin issues/abnormalities:

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a procedure that uses mechanical exfoliation to remove the Stratum Corneum, the outer layer of dead skin. The skin is exfoliated with natural diamond chips and slightly suctioned by a negative pressure allowing different levels of exfoliation. When you remove this outer layer, the body interprets it as an injury, quickly replacing the lost skin cells with new, healthy ones. This procedure is non invasive and can be used on any part of the body and all skin types and colors. After a series of treatments, your complexion can appear smoother, brighter, and more even in color. The treatment may also boost collagen production and help firm up wrinkles over time. Hand treatments give your hands a more youthful appearance. Microdermabrasion is one of the most requested skin care treatments and can be added to any facial or customized to meet your skin care needs. Expect microdermabrasion to help with the following:
– Skin aging wrinkles and furrows
– Hypochromia stretch marks
– Deep and superficial skin cleaning

Ultherapy
Science has engineered it, the FDA has approved it and Life Choice Esthetics has it! Ultherapy is a non-invasive solution using ultrasound to visibly and gradually improve the collagen in your face, neck and chest. What does that mean for you?
Collagen decreases as we age which makes us lose skin strength and elasticity. As time goes by, most of us notice things like:
– Turkey Neck
– Sagging Jowls
– Wrinkled skin on face, neck or chest
– Crow’s Feet
– Baggy Eyelids or brows
Now with Ultherapy, you can receive a 30-90 minute treatments and go back to work or continue your day without anyone even knowing!
…and for up to the next 180 days your body is building collagen naturally, tightening your skin and improving your appearance.

What To Expect
Your Ultherapy practitioner will cleanse your skin and evaluate the areas to be treated. Then, just like with any other ultrasound, she will apply ultrasound gel and begin to use the smooth treatment applicator on your skin while monitoring the areas via computer imaging. This way she can see what areas will be most beneficial for you. You may feel the sensation of heat and/or tingling as your collagen building process is initiated.
An expert panel of physicians considers Ultherapy the Gold Standard for nonsurgical lifting and tightening of the face, brow, neck and upper chest. After treatment, your skin may be flushed, but will return to normal within a few hours. Some patients do experience a slight tenderness or tingling, but this is temporary as well.
…and the majority of people need just ONE treatment!
(*however, yearly follow-up treatments may help maintain results)
