Complexion Analysis and Facial Consultation for Beautiful Skin
Achieving beautiful, healthy skin is possible using the science that is available to you at our skin care center, Phases. A VISIAT Complexion Analysis and Facial Consultation is the first step to achieving beautiful, younger looking skin. At this visit one of our licensed medical aestheticians will perform a computerized complexion analysis that will reveal the severity of various conditions such as:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation (age/dark spots)
- Large pores
- Skin tone unevenness
- Porphyrins (bacterial growth)
- Sun damage (UV spots)
Once your computerized analysis is complete, the aesthetician will give you a detailed printed report that shows your problem areas and compares your results to those of others your same age. The results of this analysis, as well as a detailed examination of your facial skin including skin typing, will form the basis for creating a personalized facial rejuvenation road map of treatment recommendations designed to give you beautiful, healthy skin.
Your personal road map will take into account your goals as well as the time and monetary investment you are prepared to make. If you add up what you are now spending on all the lotions, potions and products you buy across the counter, you will see you already invest a lot of time and money in your skin. Beautiful skin can be yours by using a combination of products, treatments and maintenance options available to you at Phases. Call 317-848-8101 to schedule your private consultation.

ArteFill® Is Here! FDA Approves Permanent Filler
ArteFill, the only non-reabsorbable injectable filler approved by the FDA, is now available at Turkle & Associates. It has been used successfully for many years in Europe. ArteFill has been approved for the permanent correction of nasolabial folds, the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. ArteFill visibly corrects the wrinkles and then serves as a scaffold for the new collagen produced by your own body. For most patients ArteFill is given in two injections, one to two months apart. Because the product contains bovine collagen, a skin test is required before treatment. Call our office today to schedule a consultation and skin test.

JUVÉDERM Filler for Facial Wrinkles & Folds
JUVÉDERMT is the "next-generation" hyaluronic acid filler from the makers of BOTOX® Cosmetic. The gel has been recently approved by the FDA for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
JUVÉDERM ULTRA is a formulation for more versatility in contouring and volumizing facial wrinkles and folds. JUVÉDERM ULTRA PLUS is used for deeper folds and wrinkles.
According to the maker of JUVÉDERM, both products provide a smooth, long-lasting correction of facial wrinkles and folds and will provide optimal results with a single treatment in the majority of patients and deliver sustained results for up to six months or longer.
Here are the results of one of our patients who had her nasolabial folds (the lines from the nose to the mouth) treated with JUVÉDERM.

Palomar Fractional Resurfacing
Palomar Laser Light treatment is the newest evolution in skin resurfacing. This new technology uses fractional resurfacing to reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth and for treating acne scarring. Patients can expect a series of three to five treatments over a period of weeks to resolve most problems. Results are immediate and progressive. Over time, new collagen begins to form, creating younger and healthier looking skin. Fractional resurfacing is designed to zero in on damaged tissue. The treatment delivers an array of laser microbeams to the skin that penetrate into the dermis and start the formation of new tissue.
No topical anesthetic is required for treatment. The fractional resurfacing treatment involves minimal discomfort and downtime without the redness associated with other skin resurfacing technologies. Following treatment the use of sunscreen is important. Call today to Phases today to schedule a consultation at 317-848-8101.

Dr. Turkle in the News
Dr. Janet K. Turkle was recently interviewed by health reporter Stacia Matthews of WRTV-6 about JUVÉDERM, the newest injectable filler for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Stacia and her cameraman taped Dr. Turkle in the office injecting a patient's lips with JUVÉDERM.
Dr. Turkle was also featured recently in Indianapolis Monthly Magazine. She was quoted extensively in the January 2007 issue for a special feature section on Body & Style. Dr. Turkle was asked to comment on non-invasive cosmetic procedures, including injectables.

Permanent Make-up Makes Life Easier
Do you have trouble seeing to put your make-up on? Do you have allergies that cause your eyes to water and ruin your make-up? Do you hate the hassle of applying make-up every morning and retouching it throughout the day? If so, micropigmentation, or permanent make-up, for your eyebrows and eyeliner may be for you. Permanent make-up is ideal for the woman on the go.
Our aesthetician applies a local anesthetic before the procedure. Then she uses a tattoo pen to inject permanent ink into your skin. Call Phases today at 317-848-8101 for a consultation and test patch for just $25.

Get Ready for Spring & Summer
No matter how cold and wintry it is now, spring and summer are just around the corner. When warm weather comes, our thoughts naturally turn to improving our appearance. Here are several things to consider:
Body procedures such as tummy tuck, liposuction and breast augmentation can help you achieve the appearance you want. If you are considering surgery now is the time to schedule a consultation for those procedures so that you can have healing well underway by summer.
Summer means more time in the sun. Anthelios SX, a daily moisturizing cream with sunscreen, is the first sunscreen approved by the FDA in 18 years. This is the only moisturizer on the market with sunscreen that protects against UVA rays, the #1 cause of skin aging, as well as UVB rays! Most sunscreen products provide protection against UVB rays only. Get ready for the sun and stop by Phases today to pick-up Anthelios SX.
You can get rid of unwanted hair before bathing suit season. Now is the time for laser hair removal. Our state-of-the-art system can be used on most body areas and has proven to be quick and reliable with almost no discomfort. Call Phases today to schedule.
We all like the look of summer tan but sun damage really accelerates aging and can result in skin cancer. Our mineral powder face bronzer will give you the look of a glowing tan without the danger. Stock up now for spring and summer.
