Conditions Treated

Skin Rejuvenation

Why suffer with unwanted blemishes, fine lines and wrinkles? Choices Anti-Aging Centers™ specialize in light-based treatments that help restore skin to a more healthy and beautiful condition. Science has proven that the skin responds positively to the application of specific types of light and that the cells of the skin can be stimulated to assume a more normal function during the aging process.

Choices Anti-Aging Centers™ offers the latest medical technology and cosmeceuticals available to rejuvenate, restore, and nourish your skin so that you can look and feel your absolute best.

All of these remarkable therapies are non-invasive and do not create any "downtime" as recovery is immediate.

The Problem: Our skin is bombarded over a lifetime by the damaging effects of sunlight - a process known as photoaging. Photoaging is characterized by dull, sallow, blotchy skin with brown "age" spots, dilated capillaries, and facial redness. Collagen is the substance that gives skin its soft, bulky, youthful appearance. From the moment we are born, our bodies produce less collagen until, usually in our mid to late forties, collagen production essentially stops. Our bodies also produce a natural enzyme called collagenase which breaks down collagen. Even after collagen production ceases, collagenase production continues unabated to further eat away at our remaining collagen until eventually we have relatively little left. This deterioration of collagen produces the fine lines, wrinkles, and generally tired looking skin typical of aging. Additionally, smoking and alcohol consumption can accelerate photoaging damage to our skin.

 

Our Solution: To optimize and maintain the condition of your skin Choices Anti-Aging Centers™ feature the Skin Rejuvenation Plan. It is very much like going to the gym and getting into shape and then maintaining it with exercise and good nutrition. With the Skin Rejuvenation Plan, your skin will be brought to a better condition through an initial set of treatments with a variety of light based therapies. You will then use good skin nutrition (cosmeceuticals) at home, reduce sun exposure and eat a healthy diet. To keep your skin in its best looking condition, follow up treatments are suggested.

 

Piqment & Vascular Reduction

DISCOLORED SPOTS AND AREAS
Annoying pigment spots, freckles, brown spots, aging spots or flat areas of discoloration can be removed or reduced. The treatment is essentially painless and recovery is immediate. It often requires more than one treatment.

BLOOD VESSELS 
Small blue, purple or red blood vessels (veins) can be obliterated on the face or other parts of the body. It is essentially painless and quite effective. Several treatments may be required depending on the number of veins. It cannot be used for large vessels (e.g. leg varicosities). Immediately after the treatment the vessels are essentially gone but there may be faint red streaking where the veins were and therefore there is additional improvement with time (two - four weeks).

 

Hair Removal

Treatments are available for long-lasting hair removal. You no longer have to shave, tweeze, pluck, wax, or suffer from ingrown hair. Unlike many other treatment methods, our light-based therapy leaves your skin looking and feeling smoother and softer. It requires multiple treatments to get the maximum effect because of the nature of hair growth. Men, women, and children may be treated. Treatments can be customized according to your hair color, texture, and body location. Hair of any color - black, brown, and red - can be treated. Treatment is effective on all skin types, including dark-skinned individuals of all ethnic origins. To find out if you are a candidate, ask to schedule a consultation.
