Pearl Laser Skin Resurfacing Study Results

In January we began treatment of twelve patients with the Pearl laser. Each patient in the study received two treatments. Many of you have asked how the study turned out, so here are actual before and after photos of three of the patients in the study that you can view.

Pearl treats fine lines on the face and neck, uneven skin texture and light & dark spots caused by sun damage. During a Pearl treatment, the top layer of the skin is treated with pulses of light. A portion of the epidermis (skin surface) is gently removed and a natural protective dressing is formed on the skin's surface. Most patients feel a series of brief pinches during the treatments. After 3-4 days, the protective dressing peels off revealing new, healthy, vibrant skin underneath.

The Pearl laser replaces the entire top sun-damaged layer of skin with new healthy skin. Simultaneously, it sends heat to deeper layers of the skin stimulating new collagen growth, filling out and decreasing fine lines and wrinkles. New collagen growth continues for 4 to 6 weeks post-treatment. The combination of new skin and decreased wrinkles results in a healthier, more youthful appearance.

Unlike some other treatments, Pearl treats the entire face, minimizing the number of required treatments. Typically, only 1-2 treatments are necessary to renew your skin. As you will see when you look at the photos, the results were excellent. Every participant saw significant improvement in their skin.

If you are interested in learning more about how Pearl can help you, call Phases today at 317-848-8101 to arrange a consultation.

Last BOTOX® Beauty Party Until Fall

If you have not yet reserved your spot, there are limited spaces still available for our BOTOX Beauty Party on May 15th. This is the last party scheduled until fall. The May party will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and includes 25% off BOTOX injections, a BOTOX Benefits card good for $25 off your next BOTOX treatment, refreshments and more. A reservation is required to attend. However, in order to serve you most efficiently, you will be seen on a first come first serve basis. When you call you will be given a check-in time, but not a specific appointment time. We will serve you in the order you check-in but you could encounter a wait so come prepared to sit back, relax, and enjoy the refreshments. Please remember that we are not equipped to accommodate children in our waiting area or treatment rooms. Call 317-848-0001 today for your check-in time. BOTOX Beauty Party reservations cannot be made online.

Breast Cancer Survivor Makeover

Our four breast cancer survivors have begun their complimentary makeovers at Phases. This month we'll bring you up-to-date on Linda Cardé. Linda had lots of sun damage on her face, as well as some skin laxity. The staff at Phases has begun working with her to remove those visible signs of aging. Linda first received Vibradermabrasion to exfoliate her skin. She has had one Thermage treatment to her face and neck and one IPL. In the photos below, look at the difference in her skin, especially the decrease in brown spots under her eyes and on her brow after only beginning treatment. You can also see the dark patches, called hyperpigmentation, have visibly diminished. The skin around her eyes has tightened and lifted her eyelids. Phases will continue to treat Linda with Thermage and IPL as well as permanent eyeliner and more. Watch for next month's E-Group update on another of these four lucky women.

A Treatment for Troublesome Leg & Facial Veins

Now women and men have an effective treatment available for unsightly leg or facial veins with the Cutera CoolGlide®. This laser safely and effectively treats both tiny superficial face veins and deeper blue leg veins on women and men of all skin tones without painful injections. The CoolGlide delivers pulses of light energy, which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel. Most patients see significant improvement within two to six weeks of treatment. The number of treatments necessary depends on the number, color and size of the vessels being treated but most patients will require four or five treatments. For more information about treating troublesome leg and face veins, call Phases today at 317-848-8101.

Special $150 Offer from ArteFill®

ArteFill is an FDA approved injectable wrinkle filler that offers immediate, visible correction of smile lines results with no downtime. The results improve over several months and stand the test of time because the substance does not get absorbed into the body. You can look younger, longer with a filler that lasts.

All it requires is a simple, in-office procedure for immediate wrinkle correction. If you have used temporary dermal fillers in the past, which require repeat injections, ArteFill is different. The unique microsphere technology with ArteFill is not absorbed by the body and therefore provides the permanent support your skin needs for long-lasting results by providing a scaffold for the development of the body's own collagen.

Call 317-848-0001 today to schedule your appointment for ArteFill and receive a complimentary skin test and a $150 American Express Gift Card from ArteFill after your first treatment.
