AesthetiSpa Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles and more. One 10-minute treatment-a few tiny injections-and within days there’s a noticeable improvement in wrinkles, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary. BOTOX Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those lines to form over time. Since 2002, 11 million procedures have been performed with FDA-approved BOTOX Cosmetic.

AesthetiSpa uses the latest in laser hair removal technology. We can effectively treat pigmented hair on any skin color or type, including tanned skin. Patients can resume their normal daily activity within minutes of treatment. Many women feel uncomfortable with facial hair or hair on other areas of the body. Imagine a laser so fast, affordable and effective that it eliminates shaving, plucking, waxing, and even razor bumps! Laser hair removal can remedy the discomfort of razor bumps and ingrown hair that many men experience. A growing number of athletes shave their entire bodies for competition or just because they like the appearance. You do not have to be an athlete to feel uncomfortable with back and shoulder hair. AesthetiSpa offers treatment anywhere on the body with lasting results.

Over time, your skin loses its full, firm, youthful appearance. This is the result of a natural aging process when your skin becomes thinner and loses its natural elasticity. As a result, it becomes loose and starts to wrinkle. Fat tissue, which also helps to fill out your face, is lost, causing skin to sag and further wrinkle. This reduction in skin volume can make your face look thin and narrow, possibly making you appear older than you are. Fortunately, RADIESSE may smooth lines and wrinkles and help your skin regain a firm and youthful appearance by restoring volume you may have naturally lost. With RADIESSE, you can restore facial contour as well as correct smile lines, nasolabial folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. RADIESSE is a safe, FDA-approved dermal filler that is made of unique calcium-based microspheres suspended in a natural gel that is injected into the skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure.

Millions of women are bothered by spider veins – those small yet unsightly clusters of red, blue or purple veins that most commonly appear on the thighs, calves and ankles. In fact, it’s estimated that at least half of the adult female population is plagued with this common cosmetic problem. AesthetiSpa is excited to offer sclerotherapy in addition to laser therapy for treatment of spider veins. In sclerotherapy, veins are injected with a sclerosing solution, which causes them to collapse and fade from view. The procedure may also remedy the bothersome symptoms associated with spider veins, including aching, burning, swelling and night cramps.

Automated Micro-Needling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT) is a new innovation in aesthetic medicine for treating the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and improvement of overall appearance. The Eclipse MicroPen™ is used to perform micro-needling in our office. In this procedure, tiny needles are used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to stimulate collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in improvement of the appearance of wrinkles and scars. Automated micro-needling also creates superficial micro-channels which can be used with topical creams and serums to help improve the appearance of the skin.

Nothing is quite as attractive as great-looking skin! AesthetiSpa uses the latest, most advanced techniques in microdermabrasion. This procedure helps diminish imperfections of the skin such as fine lines, sun damage, and acne scarring. Our microdermabrasion is a medical technique for removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it supple and vibrant. The wand removes this layer of skin by gently abrading the skin with natural diamond chips while at the same time vacuuming the dead skin cells away in a sterile and controlled manner. Removing this outer layer of skin leaves a smoother texture and promotes new cell growth.

After a lifetime of laughing, smiling, furrowing brows or lighting up in surprise, the skin on your face can really show the signs of aging. Your face is also the area of your skin most exposed to the elements, bearing the brunt of environmental factors like sun damage. Over time, the smooth, sleek look you once had breaks down, becoming saggy, and lined with wrinkles. Your features lose definition – especially in the jawline, lips and neck. Thermage is a non-invasive radiofrequency therapy that can address the look and feel of aging skin on many areas of your body. On the face and neck, it can help smooth and tighten sagging skin, smooth fine lines and wrinkles and help define the jawline and lip. It also addresses jowls and the “turkey neck”. Thermage treatments are customized to your needs, and typically require minimal recovery time. It’s a great solution if you want your skin to look sleeker, smoother and younger, but can’t afford a lot of time away from work or your social life.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology delivers a broad spectrum of light onto the skin’s surface to correct a variety of benign skin conditions, such as facial skin imperfections, the signs of sun damage, birthmarks, unwanted hair, small veins, and other blemishes. The wavelengths of light penetrate deep into the skin tissue to stimulate the cells beneath the skin’s surface, rejuvenating the skin and removing sun damage. It offers a safe, non-invasive solution that can be tailored to your individual condition and skin type, providing superior cosmetic results and outstanding satisfaction.

Liposonix is a revolutionary treatment using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to treat and eliminate stubborn fat. It is a non-invasive, safe, non-surgical option for people who are close to their ideal shape, but have stubborn areas of fat that just won’t go away no matter how much they exercise or diet. The procedure takes about one hour and, while individual results can vary, patients typically achieve a waistline reduction of approximately one inch (equivalent to one pant or dress size) within 8-12 weeks after receiving a single treatment.

Fraxel is the original fractional laser treatment that works below the skin’s surface from the top down addressing imperfections like fine lines, visible photo aging, wrinkles, scarring, and age spots. Fraxel light energy stimulates your skin’s natural collagen, rejuvenating skin cells below the surface to help smooth the creases and pockets that cause wrinkles and scars. Fraxel is proven laser technology that can help reverse the visible effects of aging, naturally helping you look as young as you feel.

KYBELLA® (deoxycholic acid) injection is the first and only FDA approved injectable treatment that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness, sometimes referred to as “double chin”. When injected into the fat beneath your chin, KYBELLA® causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.

BELOTERO BALANCE® Dermal Filler is a hyaluronic acid filler that is unique as you are. It is specifically designed to integrate into your skin and mold to your distinct facial contours. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of your skin and by binding to water, BELOTERO BALANCE fills in wrinkles and folds, allowing immediate and smooth correction.

Restylane Defyne and Refyne are clear gel formulations of hyaluronic acid that is specifically formulated to act like your body’s own naturally produced hyaluronic acid, helping to instantly, visibly reduce moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.

Almost all spider veins respond well to laser vein treatments, but a free no-obligation consultation with one of our physicians allows us to most effectively evaluate and assess your veins prior to beginning any treatments. If during the consultation we determine that you are eligible for treatment, we will discuss all of the benefits and risks of the procedure. Any prior surgery or treatment (e.g. sclerotherapy) on your veins could affect the treatment outcome. In some cases, further testing may be recommended to determine if there are underlying venous problems.

INFINI RF is high intensity focused radiofrequency (RF) delivered to the skin through microneedling. It uses your own body’s reaction to firm the skin by delivering energy directly to the dermis through gold-plated microneedles. This unique and innovative technology protects the top layer of the skin therefore, allowing treatments on all skin types, even tanned skin. When the energy is delivered, it stimulates the natural growth of collagen and elastin to rejuvenate and tighten the skin.

Laser Hair Removal Laser hair removal is one of the most common cosmetic procedures performed in the United States. This laser treatment can remedy the discomfort of razor bumps and ingrown hair that many men experience. The lasers concentrate beams of light directly into the hair follicles, destroying the hair. This is a great solution for people who are not happy with shaving, plucking, or waxing their body or facial hair. Laser Vein Removal AesthetiSpa uses the latest laser technology to treat unwanted veins. Laser vein removal is noninvasive, fast, safe, and effective.

Hair Loss Hair loss of 50 – 100 hairs per day is normal, however, many women and men experience excessive hair loss. Excessive hair loss is more common problem as we age and can lead to lower self-esteem and loss of confidence. There are many potential causes for excessive hair loss including heredity, medical conditions, medications, hormonal changes, poor nutrition, rapid weight loss, stress or vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Once these potential causes have been investigated, AesthetiSpa offers the oral supplement Viviscal PRO as possible treatment options. Treatment Options Include: ACell+PRFM For Hair Restoration Nutrafol Excessive Sweating Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating of the extremities, underarms, and face. Excessive underarm sweating is an issue for many people and is worse in warmer climates such as the South Carolina Lowcountry. Chronic hyperhidrosis can interfere with daily activities, but it can also be brought on by stressful situations or events such as wedding and parties. It is embarrassing, stinky, and can ruin clothing! If antiperspirants aren’t working well and you want longer relief, Botox is an FDA approved treatment option and can effectively decrease sweating in the underarm area. In one clinical trial involving 322 people with severe underarm sweating, 81% of those who received Botox injections had over 50% reduction in sweating. And 50% had their excessive sweating relieved for up to 7 months. At AesthetiSpa, we offer Botox injections in the underarm area for treatment of excessive sweating and have found it highly effective, typical dosing is 100 -150 units.

With every passing year after our 20th birthday, our body produces one additional percentage point less collagen than the prior year. That means at 45, your skin has one quarter less collagen under it. Since collagen provides the structural latticework under our skin that keeps it firm and young looking, this decline is serious bad news. That declining collagen and elastin, along with sun damage and personal habits, gang up to make our skin sag and loosen. This allows the formation of lines, creases, and areas of volume loss such as the cheeks. Fortunately, at AesthetiSpa we can help tighten up your loosening skin on the face and areas of your body. We call it Facial and Body Contouring, and we specialize in four treatments that each provide different benefits. We’ll give a brief description of each treatment, and you can click on the title to jump to the dedicated page further into our site. Kybella® Thermage® truSculpt® iD Genius™ RF Microneedling CONTACT US TODAY FOR A CONSULTATION What Is Kybella? Kybella® isn’t an elaborate design; it’s basically deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid occurs naturally in the human body. Its job is to help the body break down and absorb dietary fat. The great thing about deoxycholic acid is it doesn’t differentiate — fat is fat. So, the premise behind Kybella is to inject it into unwanted fat that has accumulated under the jaw creating the dreaded double chin. There the deoxycholic acid gets to work, attacking and breaking down the fat and dramatically slimming the profile. The FDA approval allows up to six injection sessions of Kybella®, depending on the amount of fat that the patient has accumulated under his or her jaw. Each session, we use from one to three vials of Kybella®. What Is Thermage? Thermage® delivers radiofrequency energy into the dermis layer of the skin. There the RF energy converts to heat and triggers a wound response in the body. The body responds by contracting existing collagen across the treatment areas, and then it initiates new collagen production. The result is firmer, younger-looking skin. What Is TruSculpt ID? truSculpt® iD provides a non-invasive option for fat reduction and tightening skin. The mechanism used by truSculpt® iD is radiofrequency energy, which is delivered painlessly down through the epidermis into the dermis and fat layers of the skin through a variety of different handpieces. This RF energy converts to heat and destroys fat cells, which are then removed by the body’s lymphatic system. In addition to reducing about 24 percent of the fat in the treatment areas, truSculpt® iD’s RF energy also provides a secondary benefit of initiating new collagen production, which tightens the skin across the treatment areas. What Is Genius RF Microneedling? Microneedling has long been used to improve the skin through hundreds of microscopic punctures across the treatment areas. But the procedure took a huge step forward when the micro needling tips were equipped to deliver radiofrequency energy beneath the skin with the needle penetration. This combination of micro needling and RF energy is the basis of Genius™ RF. What Are The Benefits Of Facial And Body Sculpting? The goal of these AesthetiSpa treatments is to reverse, or at least stem the tide somewhat, of that collagen and elastin decline we mentioned in the introduction. Each of these treatments — Kybella®, Thermage®, truSculpt® iD, and Genius™ RF — work in different ways to attack fat and trigger a wound healing response in the skin that creates new collagen production and tightens and improves the skin. Kybella® decreases your double chin by removing fat that has accumulated under your jawline. Thermage® delivers RF energy into the dermis layer of the skin, which triggers increased collagen and elastin production to firm and improve the skin. truSculpt® iD uses RF energy to destroy about 24 percent of the fat in the treatment area, heating the skin at the same time to tighten it down. And Genius™ RF takes popular micro needling and adds RF energy to deliver that energy directly into the dermis layer on the facial skin. Who Is A Good Candidate For These Face And Body Contouring Treatments? These are all non-invasive treatments. There aren’t any incisions or scarring. There isn’t any downtime or recovery. By using mechanisms such as deoxycholic acid (Kybella®) or radiofrequency energy (truSculpt® iD) to break down fat or delivering RF energy into the dermis to trigger new collagen production, these are innovative, effective treatments to reduce fat, firm loose skin, and improve skin quality. Who isn’t a good candidate for that? If you’re over 40, you’re a good candidate for these easy-to-take treatments at AesthetiSpa.

What Aesthetics Services Does AesthetiSpa Offer? Chemical Peels Dermaplaning Hydrafacial Celluma Light Therapy Microdermabrasion Microneedling PERK Eyes and Lips SCHEDULE YOUR CONSULTATION What Are Chemical Peels? Chemical peels are simply giving our skin’s exfoliation process a boost. In a chemical peel, a peeling agent is applied to your skin and left on a predetermined amount of time. The peeling agent breaks down some of the bonds of the skin, encouraging the skin to shed dead, old skin cells and to replace them with new, more vibrant skin cells. At AesthetiSpa, we provide light/superficial peels that use alpha-hydroxy acids (naturally occurring acids, such as lactic acid, glycolic acid, and others) as the peeling agents and medium peels that use trichloroacetic acid. Superficial peels don’t require any recovery and will only cause light flaking for a few days. Medium peels penetrate more deeply, so they will require a little downtime as you will have some crusting and redness. What Is Dermaplaning? Although shaving your face every day is tedious business, some women envy men being able to do this because it exfoliates the shaved areas every day. This removes hair (of course), dirt, oils, and some skin cells. Dermaplaning is similar. In dermaplaning, your AesthetiSpa aesthetician slides a sterile blade across your skin. The single edge blade is held at a 45-degree angle. Think of it as akin to an old barbershop razor. The blade removes dead skin cells, sun-damaged skin cells, dirt, oil, and those pesky peach fuzz (vellus) hairs. Woman after microneedling What Is A HydraFacial MD? The HydraFacial MD® treatment is a “hydradermabrasion” of sorts. It combines deep cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection simultaneously in a patented four-step process that takes just 30 minutes. The four steps involved in these patented treatments are Vortex Exfoliation, Vortex Peel, Vortex Extraction, and Vortex Fusion. The treatment is delivered through a proprietary wand that combines a gentle rotating brush with suction pressure. Afterwards, a serum is applied that is customized depending upon your specific skin type. The treatment results in clearer, healthier skin without any discomfort, downtime, or recovery. What Is Microdermabrasion? Microdermabrasion is a very popular procedure that exfoliates the outermost layer of the epidermis. At AesthetiSpa we utilize the DiamondTome Skin Resurfacing System. This microdermabrasion system is crystal-free and uses diamonds to remove the superficial layer of the epidermis. With natural diamond chips embedded in the tip, the DiamondTome wand polishes the skin and at the same time provides suction to remove dirt, dead skin cells, and other impurities. Microdermabrasion improves sun damage, fine lines, age spots, acne, and superficial scarring. It is completely non-ablative, and it can be used on all skin colors and skin types. What Is Microneedling? Microneedling involves the creation of thousands of microscopic punctures across the treatment area to trigger the body’s wound-healing response. At AesthetiSpa, we use the SkinPen whose handpiece features a sterile, disposable cartridge that houses 14 microneedles. As the handpiece is moved across the skin, the 14 needles oscillate up and down to the designated penetration depth (up to 2.5 cm). The needles create thousands of microscopic punctures through the epidermis down into the skin’s second layer, the dermis. Despite the fact that the microscopic punctures fully heal in just a couple of hours, the body thinks it has been wounded. It responds with a healing mechanism where it first remodels the existing collagen in the treatment area, and then it begins the production of new collagen to “heal” the perceived wounds. This improves the skin from within, and the increased collagen production lasts for weeks. SCHEDULE YOUR CONSULTATION What Is PERK Eyes And Lips? PERK is an add-on treatment (or it can be standalone) to enhance your HydraFacial by focusing solely on the delicate skin of the eyes and the lips. PERK Eyes and Lips combines in-office exfoliation with take-home products. HydraFacial PERK uses patented roller-flex technology to loosen dirt, oil, and dead skin cells; gently cleanse and hydrate the delicate eye and lip areas; deliver antioxidants and nutrients; lightly plump the lips; and brighten and refresh the eyes. Following the exfoliation, the HydraFacial PERK system applies to replenish serum to the eye area and revitalizing serum to the lips. What Is Celluma Light Therapy? Celluma Light Therapy is the newest form of light therapy to improve your skin. Rather than laser or IPL, Celluma uses light emitting diode (LED) energy. The LED energy, also called red light therapy, is applied at specific wavelengths to the skin.

What Are Injectables? A beautiful young woman holding an injectable dermal filler for wrinkle treatment or anti aging benefits. As we age, the major structural aspects of the face change. The foundations of bone, muscle, fat, and skin all lose volume over time, which contributes to the visible signs of aging. Over time, the loss of bone volume can lead to jawline retraction and dark circles under the eyes. The cheekbones seem to descend, as well, due to the loss of bone and fatty tissue. These underlying changes coincide with the decline of collagen and elastin in the skin, which leads to looseness and sagging. Injectable treatments can help these concerns and other familiar signs of aging. CONTACT US TODAY FOR A CONSULTATION Neurotoxins BOTOX Dysport Xeomin Dermal Fillers Belotero Juvederm Radiesse Restylane Sculptra RHA Dermal Fillers Kybella Platelet Rich Plasma Injectable treatments have become a popular approach for facial rejuvenation and enhancement. Wrinkle-reducing products are classified as neuromodulators and dermal fillers. Wrinkle-reducers smooth dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines and crow’s feet. Dermal fillers are also used to soften the appearance of lines. However, these products can also: Add volume and definition to thin lips Enhance shallow facial contours Decrease or remove dark circles and bags under the eyes Reshape the nose Improve the appearance of recessed scars Other injectables smooth lines while also stimulating collagen remodeling for longer-lasting effects. We offer a wide range of injectable treatments in our Mount Pleasant facility, including: Neuromodulators including Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin Dermal Fillers including Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, Sculptra, and Belotero Kybella, an injectable developed for the correction of submental fullness Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix, an injectable created with cells from the patient’s blood for placement in the subdermal tissue. What Are The Benefits Of Injectables? Adults of all ages appreciate the many benefits of injectable treatments. Primarily, injectable products are appealing because they are nonsurgical and minimally invasive. Treatments are conducted in the office, usually with the need of only a topical anesthetic. In most cases, only one treatment session is needed to achieve noticeable results. Because treatment consists solely of a series of injections, there is also little downtime associated with this cosmetic service. In the case of dermal fillers, an additional benefit is that patients see the results of their injections immediately. Neuromodulators work more gradually to smooth wrinkles. Results of Botox and other wrinkle-reducers appear over 5 to 7 days. Aging. Mature woman-young woman. Face with skin problem. Prime candidate for injectable dermal fillers Am I A Candidate For Injectables? Adults who are in good physical health and have realistic expectations of what injectables can achieve are typically excellent candidates for treatment. The purpose of treatment is to rejuvenate or enhance parts of the face to improve symmetry, smoothness, and the natural appearance of youthfulness. In some cases, such as a lack of optimal skin elasticity or a desire to improve skin texture, a patient may be a better candidate for surgery or other cosmetic modalities. How Are Injectables Performed? Injectable treatment may be performed in less than half an hour. The appointment begins with a brief consultation in which we become familiar with the patient and their desired outcome. The provider then examines the skin and tissue to discern the quality of elasticity and volume. Treatment details are discussed, including the location of injections and the amount of product deemed necessary to achieve optimal results. Most patients do not require the application of a local anesthetic prior to injections. The doctor cosmetologist makes the Rejuvenating facial injections procedure for tightening and smoothing wrinkles on the face skin of a beautiful, young woman in a beauty salon.Cosmetology skin care. The administration of injections typically takes 15 – 20 minutes or less. When treatment is complete, patients may return to their normal activities within a short amount of time. Are Injectables Safe? The injectable treatments that are commonly performed today have all been approved by the FDA following years of ongoing testing. Many of the products that are used in the U.S. had been used for many years in other countries before gaining FDA approval here. We can identify the safety of these products based on their long-term use with few reportable cases. In general, the risks associated with injectable treatments are limited to transient bruising, swelling, and redness. Some patients experience temporary tenderness at injection sites.
