Most of us want to maintain or enhance our appearance as time passes. There is no rule that says we have to look our age. And in today’s economy,  a youthful, healthy appearance might be just the ticket to land that job or close that big deal.

Several things happen to the face as we age. These include development of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, discoloration, large pores and loss of volume which causes sagging skin. These changes of aging are aggravated by sun exposure,  smoking, change in nutritional status and hormone deficiency among others.

There are many things you can do to slow the aging process. These treatments involve office procedures with little or no down time so you can maintain your schedule.

Botox Cosmetic relaxes the small muscles of the face. It is great for vertical lines between the eyes, forehead lines, crow’s feet and fine lines on the upper lip. Botox Cosmetic can also be used to slightly lift the corners of the mouth and will give you a small brow lift. The injections are virtually painless.

Fillers smooth out deeper lines such as those on the forehead, nasolabial folds and lines at the corners of the mouth. They can also be used to restore lost volume of lips, over the cheek bones, eye brows and underneath the eyes. Among the fillers, we offer Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus.

Microneedling  is very popular in Asia and Australia.  Treatments consist of rolling a small wheel with microscopic needles over the treated area which is infused with  specific healing serum. An initial deep series of MicroNeedling is followed by maintenance treatments which can be done at home

Laser Facial Rejuvenation includes combinations of various wavelengths to improve the texture and tone of our skin. We usually use a series of treatments tailored to your needs and time line. Various procedures include microlaser peel, laser rejuvenation treatments and Profractional by Sciton.  These procedures reduce wrinkles and discoloration and stimulate collagen formation to smooth and tighten the skin.

Chemical peels help smooth and tighten the skin and improve your complexion. Peels are done in a series until desired effect is reached then maintenance peels are done as needed. We offer botanical, TCA, and Obagi Blue peels.

Hormone and nutritional balance are important parts of any skin care plan. What we take into our bodies is reflected in our skin so we offer medical evaluation and treatment of nutritional problems and hormone deficiencies.

We offer all these treatments and more to our patients at Essential Balance Medspa-a part of Daws Wellness Center in Anderson, SC and Hartwell, GA. Call for a consultation. Give us six months and your skin will be in the best shape it has ever been.
