Body works is our aesthetic side of the practice. Currently we offer non-invasive body contouring, professional skin care and consultation by our esthetician, Erica, and aesthetic injections.
Venus Legacy
If you are looking for a non-surgical method for body contouring, cellulite reduction, skin tightening and wrinkle reduction that is pain free and offers long term results, your search is over. Venus Legacy treatments are painless, safe and can feel like a warm stone massage. Areas that can be treated include face, neck and body Additionally there is no recovery time. You can continue to live life without interruption.
All areas can be treated, except for breast tissue. A series of treatments is necessary for optimum outcomes. Face and neck is usually 6 to 8 treatments. The remainder of the body is typically 8 to 10 treatments. Treatments are performed weekly until full effect is achieved. Maintenance treatments are then done at 3 month intervals to maintain your outcome. All of our staff have been trained and certified by Venus Concepts, so you can be assured of a safe and reliable outcome.
Venus Legacy can also be used to treat pain from arthritis or soreness and injury/overuse from athletic training.
Not everyone is appropriate for treatment. Those who can not be treated include people with pacemaker/defibrillators or auto-immune skin diseases. Additionally, people with metal implants, such as joint replacement, can not have that particular area treated.
Botox & Dermal Fillers
We have also begun offering botulinum toxin injections, hyaluronic acid fillers,PDO threads, Sculptra, Radiesse and Kybella. Botulinum(Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau) is a neuromodulator that is injected into muscles to soften and reduce wrinkles. Common areas of injection are forehead lines and crows feet.Botulinum toxin is priced by the unit. Botox, Xeomin and Jeuveau are $10 per unit for the first visit and $13 per unit on repeat visits. Dysport is $10 per 2.5 units on the first visit and $13 per 2.5 units on return visits.
Hyaluronic acid fillers(Juvederm, Restylane, Versa) are skin fillers that are used in nasolabial folds, cheek, and chin to augment or enhance those area that may have lost volume over time. HA fillers are priced per syringe, ranging from $550-$625 per syringe. The difference in price depends upon the product. Some fillers are lighter and more flexible, perfect for lips, while some are more firm, for something like augmenting cheeks. Some fillers also last longer that others. Together we will choose the best product for your needs.
PDO threads are dissolvable polydiaxonone threads that can be used to lift or fill areas of the face, neck, and body. They are placed under the skin into the areas of concern where they stimulate collagen & elastin production. They can be used to lift or fill cheeks, forehead, outline lips and are very good at addressing areas of scarring. Best results with filling threads usually require 2-3 treatments, generally 4-6 weeks apart. Effects can last from 1-2 years.
Sculptra(Poly-L-lactic acid) and Radiesse(calcium hydroxyapatite) are also dermal fillers, but with different materials than hyaluronic acids(Juvederm, Restylane). They, too can be used to lift and restore volume to areas such as cheeks, hands(Radiesse) and nasolabial folds. Hyperdilute Radiesse can be injected to tighten skin in the face, neck, décolleté, arms, thighs and knees. Sculptra & Radiesse are also priced by syringe or vial. Full effect also usually requires 2-3 treatments, spaced anywhere from 4-8 weeks apart, depending on product used.
