Injectable FaceLift…Top Age Reversing Option Today

Much is written about Instant Facial Makeovers or Liquid Facelifts using injectable fillers because they are among the top nonsurgical, anti aging treatments in demand today.

Injectable fillers really do work and can provide immediate results with little to no downtime. Radiesse, for example, works immediately by replacing volume and stimulating your own collagen renewal. Other fillers, such as Restylane and Juvederm, are hyaluronic acid products that attract water to the body cells causing the area to be “plumped up” and youthful contours to be restored. Botox is used to inhibit muscle action allowing forehead furrows to relax and smooth out, while preventing future forehead lines and wrinkles.

Temples, brows, upper eyelids, under eye areas, cheeks, mouth corners and jowls can be treated and “magically” lifted to take years off an aging face.

OLD INJECTABLES vs NEW INJECTABLES…When first introduced, injectables were used primarily to remove wrinkles by volume replacement. Today’s advanced products are used more widely to achieve more natural looking results.

INSTANT AGE DEFYING FACIAL MAKEOVERS

Here’s how we do them:

  • Define, lift, shape the cheeks with Juvederm Voluma
  • Erase Forehead lines with Botox or Dysport (Brotox) for men)
  • Balance the Chin by augmenting with Radiesse
  • Lift the Mouth…restore a youthful smile
  • Open up the Eyes…revolumize to restore a fresh look
  • Elevate the Brows…restore volume to minimize sagging
  • Redefine the Eyes…restore structure to under eye area to compensate for bone loss, fat loss and thinning skin

At some point, we all become troubled by lines, wrinkles, folds, sagging skin and the tired worn out look it creates. Liquid FaceLifts, using injectable dermal fillers, literally plump up lines, erase wrinkles and rejuvenate an aging face…before your very eyes.

THE GOAL of INSTANT INJECTABLE FACELIFTS

As we age, the different facial compartments shift and fat pads migrate downward. The cheeks are the best example of this facial aging. Constant volume loss from lifestyle, aging, illness etc, causes facial contours to change and become visible as lines, wrinkles, grooves, sagging mouth, downturned lips, nasolabial folds and more. The goal of using fillers is to reconstruct the facial framework by restoring the natural, youthful facial contours.

EXPERT INJECTORS…I cannot overstate the importance of using a Qualified Expert Injector. We are highly trained in the facial anatomy and today’s sophisticated injectable fillers. It is critical that your injector tailor your treatment plan to your individual needs and concerns. Don’t trust your face to just anyone!

SURGERY vs INJECTABLE FACELIFT

People who start doing anti aging cosmetic treatments while still young enough often delay or even avoid surgery. However, if you have major facial aging, with sagging muscles and excess skin etc., you may be a candidate for facelift surgery. If done soon enough, a mini-facelift combined with injectables may be all you need.

AGING MEN and JOB HUNTING MEN…These men clearly understand the need to feel and look their absolute best. The younger, more alert, and more energetic one appears often determines the likelihood of getting a promotion or that coveted job. In the past decade, over a million men have opted for Botox and Injectable BrowLifts and FaceLifts.

I guess you can tell I love injectable fillers because they work!

Are you ready for the Beach or should we talk about some Body Sculpting right away?

Sincerely,

Dr. Covey

 

 

Gorgeous Lips with Injectable Fillers

Spring is finally here after a long, cold and, for many, a brutal winter. The elements and heated indoor environments take a major toll on facial skin and the lips. This and volume loss can make us look years older than our actual age. My next few blogs will focus on facial aging, especially the lips, and easy ways to reverse and correct those unwelcome, telltale signs of aging.

LIPS…most women have a strong desire for well shaped, soft, supple and gorgeous red lips. For many women, the well-shaped, pouty lips of their dreams are gone. Aging, lifestyle and the environment affects all of us.

LIP AGING and LIFESTYLE CAUSES:

It can be as simple as “lip puckering.” Lip puckering involves pursing the lips when sipping a cup of tea or coffee, or smoking a cigarette. This repeated action, along with loss of collagen and elastin, contributes to lip lines along with loss of shape and lip color. This makes you look older and enables “lipstick bleed” allowing lipstick to run beyond your normal lip lines. These habits also contribute:

  • Smoking (regular lip pursing)
  • Sun exposure
  • Poor skin care
  • Not sufficiently hydrated

SKIN RESURFACING for FRESH, HEALTHY SKIN

We offer Microdermabrasion, Laser treatments and skin care regimen options to exfoliate away old winter skin and usher you into Spring with glowing, healthy skin and lips.  See my website for more info: www.DrCovey.com.

LIP ENHANCEMENT RESTORES YOUTHFULNESS to LIPS

Tired and colorless lips are a telltale sign of facial aging. Loss of volume can easily be restored with hyaluronic acid injectables like Restylane, Juvederm and Perlane to create fuller, plumper lips. Collagen is the foundation of all connective skin tissue. It supports the skin’s structure and is therefore essential for youthful looking skin. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen. This causes thinness, loss of firmness and the formation of wrinkles. HA (hyaluronic acid) offers dramatic results…but these are not permanent, and can be changed if you’re not satisfied with the initial results. HA injections correct deflated, sagging lips without creating the lumps and bumps associated with permanent silicone implants and without surgery.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LIP ENHANCEMENT?

There are two types of people who need and benefit from injectable filler lip enhancement:

1)        People who need volume replacement to the lips

2)       Those desiring to restore balance with their other facial features

EXPERT INJECTORS are specially trained and certified to perform injectable filler treatments. They understand the complex facial anatomy and know the many kinds of fillers available today. Equally important: they know how to match the right treatment to each patient at the right time.

YOU CAN HAVE BEAUTIFUL LIPS NOW WITHOUT SURGERY.

Let’s talk soon.

Sincerely,

Dr. Covey

 

 

Lasers Reverse Aging…and much more

Laser treatments are performed hundreds of times a day around the world, to treat all kinds of problems ranging from skin pigmentation, scars, acne and acne scars, sun spots,wrinkles and much more. I have many lasers in my offices and am able to offer patients laser options to treat just about every cosmetic problem.

My last 3 blogs have been about the amazing laser treatments we can offer today to reverse aging and/or correct problems such as those mentioned above. In review, the bullet points highlight some of the many uses for lasers:

  • Reverse the signs of aging
  • Reduce deep lines and scars
  • Resurface the skin
  • Tighten “lax” skin
  • Reduce unwanted hair
  • Reduce or eliminate skin pigmentation
  • Correct textural abnormalities, sun damage and more…

A LASER IS light amplification by simulated emission of radiation using a crystal to produce a targeted beam of light. One type of laser does not work for every problem. There are many types and strengths of lasers being employed today to perform both “ablative” and “non ablative” treatments. See: www.DrCovey.com for complete information on lasers I use.

SMARTLIPO TRIPLEXis the newest, most advanced system that replaces the original SmartLipo technology. It is less invasive and actually melts fat, stimulates skin tightening and re-sculpts facial and body contours with safe, fast, comfortable treatments. This amazing technology enables me to achieve more precise results in smaller, hard to get to places.

AREAS PATIENTS GET TREATED: neck, jawline, inner arms, men’s breasts, abs and love handles, women’s bra fat (overhang) inner/outer thighs, inner knees, chin, hips, buttocks, pubic mound, back of neck. See my website for more info on SmartLipo Triplex: www.DrCovey.com.

CELLULITE is RELENTLESS! You can see it on your thighs, buttocks, stomach, upper arms and other body areas.

CELLULAZEtm LASER is the world’s first minimally invasive way of attacking cellulite where it begins…under the skin. You can have smoother skin on your abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks and arms, or anywhere cellulite appears, with just one treatment.

I’ve reviewed just a couple of the many lasers I offer my patients, but that’s it for this blog. My patients are waiting for their laser treatments.

Sincerely,

Dr. Covey

 

 

RIGHT LASER at the RIGHT TIME to Correct Skin Problems

Choosing the right laser treatment at the right time can treat a host of skin problems…in fact, just about every problem under the sun.  Age reversing laser treatments have become an integral part of the anti-aging revolution as proven by the thousands of men and women, of all ages, who now include laser procedures in their regular cosmetic/health regimen.

Laser treatments can be fractional ablative or non ablative. Fraxel Re:Pair fractional ablative lasers remove part of the top layer of skin tissue.  Fractional ablative lasers can be powered up or down to increase or decrease penetration.  The deeper the laser penetration, the more dramatic the results will be.  Nonablative lasers penetrate the skin without affecting the outermost layer of skin tissue.

Laser treatment I offer my patients include:  Fraxel Re:Pair, Smartlipo TriPlex, Cellulaze, Clear+Brilliant, Pulsed Dye laser, Laser Hair Removal, Laser Wrinkle Reduction.

THERMAGE CPT…is today’s most effective “lift” treatment (Thermal Lift) for sagging under the eyes, arms, legs, thighs and even the buttocks. Thermage has been featured on Oprah and in many Women’s magazines as the “no downtime non surgical facelift” that tightens the eyelids and under eye areas of the face.

Treatments we do using Thermage CPT also include hand treatments to reduce the excess wrinkling and sagging of skin.  We can also use Thermage CPT to give patients a flatter, smoother tummy, thighs, buttocks, arms and more.

Thermage firms sagging skin, corrects skin laxity and is a very popular treatment today in the war against aging.  Thermage helps to restore youthfulness!

MORE COMMON PROBLEMS WE TREAT WITH LASERS:

  • ACNE responds well to  pulsed dye lasers.  Often, I use lasers in combo with microdermabrasion and dermal fillers to successfully treat acne and acne scarring.
  • DISCOLORED SCARS can be treated with fractional ablative and non ablative lasers depending upon your condition and goals.  Fraxel lasers, Diolite and IPL are all used for these treatments.
  • VEINS and BLOOD VESSELS are commonly treated with non ablative lasers such as Diolite, pulsed dye or IPL.
  • NORMAL AGING and WRINKLES can be effectively treated with fractional ablative and non ablative lasers depending upon your condition and goals.
  • HAIR REMOVAL is done using laser or IPL treatments.  Several treatments are required to achieve permanent hair reduction because the hair grows in cycles…so treatments are scheduled to address this effectively.
  • SUN SPOTS and FRECKLES are treated with fractional ablative and non ablative lasers…such as Fraxel Dual, Fraxel Re:Pair and Diolite as well as IPL for pigmented lesions.  The lasers attack the pigment to cause “a lightening of the spots” that flake away within a few days.

There are so many more laser treatments that we do at East End Laser Care.  I’ve been expertly performing laser treatments for well over two decades and have witnessed the unbelievable power lasers offer to combat aging, sun damage and so much more.

Spring is finally here…and beach time is not far off.  Are you “Beach Body Ready?”  Let’s talk soon!

Sincerely,

Dr. Covey

 

PROBLEM SOLVING LASER TREATMENTS

Problem solving laser treatments are among our most common anti aging cosmetic procedures.  Lasers target different types of cells to reduce or eliminate pigmentation, fade scars or redness, minimize wrinkles and treat textural problems. See the following bullets to learn a few of the amazing uses for lasers:

  • Reverse the signs of aging
  • Reduce deep lines and scars
  • Resurface the skin
  • Tighten lax skin
  • Remove unwanted hair
  • Reduce or eliminate skin pigmentation
  • Correct textural abnormalities, sun damage…and more!

For the benefit of new readers, review my last blog to get up to speed and then keep reading as I am going to write a couple more blogs on the benefits of today’s age reversing cosmetic treatments using lasers.

WHAT IS A LASER?  A laser is Light Amplification by Simulated Emission of Radiation, using a crystal to produce a targeted beam of light.

One type of laser does not work for every problem.  There are many types of lasers being employed today to perform both “non ablative and ablative treatments.”  Laser treatments involve little to no downtime or discomfort due to topical numbing cream and/or oral sedatives.  See my website for complete info on laser options: www.Dr.Covey.com.

Two more laser treatments I offer my patients are:

FRAXEL RE:PAIR…a revolutionary way to repair and restore damaged skin.  After years of smoking, or fun in the sun, or age related changes, more pronounced photodamage, sagging face and neck skin and even delicate chest skin, facial discolorations, deep lines, hard to erase lip lines, rough skin texture, acne scars and surgical scars… all respond well to treatments using Fraxel Re:Pair laser.  Fraxel Re:Pair allows for deeper penetration, without touching skin outside the treatment area.  Fraxel Re:Pair also encourages skin tightening by altering weakened collagen in the dermal layer of your skin.  Some patients see dramatic results in as little as 48 hours!

RE:PAIR is the best choice for men and women who want significant resurfacing results that will truly address deeper wrinkles and skin laxity without surgery.

DIOLITE TREATMENTS are comfortable and effective.  The Diolite laser can treat both vascular and pigmented lesions with no pain and no downtime.  Treatments are quick and the results can be seen immediately.

Well, I love today’s advanced lasers and the beautiful, healthy results they afford my patients.  More in my next blog!

Amazing Lasers for Age Reversing Cosmetic Treatments… Today

Lasers are an integral part of the anti aging revolution today...more so than over the past decade as both men and women now include laser treatments in their regular cosmetic/health regimen.

It’s absolutely true that the right laser treatments, done at the right times, can treat just about any skin problem under the sun.  These laser and energy based magic wands can reverse the signs of aging, reduce deep lines and scars, resurface the skin, remove unwanted hair, reduce or eliminate skin pigmentation and textural abnormalities…and more.  Since there are so many age reversing laser options available, my next few blogs will focus on these solutions.  Keep reading!

WHAT IS A LASER?  A true laser is Light Amplification by Simulated Emission of Radiation that uses a crystal to produce a targeted light beam.

HOW A LASER WORKS:  All lasers are light based devices that target different types of skin cells to achieve the desired results.  Your surgeon must be able to match the right laser to each individual problem.  Each wavelength is unique to each problem.

ABLATIVE LASERS remove the top layer of skin tissue and the power can be dialed up or dialed down to increase or decrease the level of penetrations.  The  more ablative the laser, the deeper the penetration making recovery longer…but with more dramatic results

NON ABLATIVE LASERS leave the outer layer of skin intact but can still penetrate to correct the problem.  Since there is no skin sloughing (as with ablative lasers) downtime is much shorter as are pain and discomfort.

I’ve been using lasers, and offering my patients the many amazing laser treatment options, for over two decades. See my website for more information:  www.drcovey.com. 

Here are just a few of the treatments we offer:

CELLULAZE LASER for attacking cellulite where it begins…under the skin!  Cellulaze is the amazing FDA approved breakthrough treatments for cellulite that gets results with just one treatment.  Smoother skin on your abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms and anywhere cellulite occurs, has proven this laser technology invaluable in the treatment of ugly, unwelcome cellulite!

CLEAR+BRILLIANT laser treatments are very popular this time of year to restore younger, healthier, clearer looking skin to enjoy along with the freshness of spring.  Clear+Brilliant ushers in a renewed youthfulness with gentle treatments that combat the “early signs of aging.”

FRAXEL RE:STORE DUAL WAVELENGTH LASER TREATMENTS offer better results more quickly and more comfortably than ever before.  This laser system uses two wavelengths to repair and restore smoother, fresher, younger looking skin.

Well, there are more laser options, but that’s it for this blog. I have patients waiting for their age reversing laser treatments!

TRUE and FALSE…CLEAR ANSWERS ABOUT AGE DEFYING INJECTABLES

Read the rest of this entry »

LOOK YOUNGER INSTANTLY…with INJECTABLES

When injectable fillers first made their debut they were used exclusively to fill in facial folds.  Today fillers are used for much more.  They replace volume and reposition the skin to add volume, actually lift folds, smooth out lines and wrinkles and take years off an aging face…instantly and with longer lasting results from advanced formulas.

TODAY’S INJECTABLES DO PREVENT LINES and WRINKLES and they LIFT SAGGING SKIN!  shutterstock_62411647They are truly amazing and they do achieve either instant or gradual and subtle results.

PRIMER on INJECTABLES:   It’s important to understand how aging affects certain areas of your face and what options are best suited to correct the aging such as:

  • CROW’S FEET are fine lines that start at the outer corner of the eyes and extend out.  These are caused by muscle activity.  We correct them using BOTOX or DYSPORT (neurotoxins).
  • DROOPY BROWS are caused by excessive brow movement and can cause loss of the natural eyebrow arch resulting in a heavy appearance.  BOTOX or DYSPORT can lift the eyebrows to their natural, youthful position.
  • TEAR TROUGHS and HOLLOWS start below the bridge of the nose and lower eyelid, extending downward toward the cheek.  RESTYLANE, JUVEDERM or BELOTERO safely treats these areas.
  • CHEEKS, TEMPLES and JAWLINES … As fat diminishes with aging, these areas commonly sag and appear shallow.  I use NEW VOLUMA XC, RADIESSE, PERLANE, RESTYLANE or JUVEDERM ULTRA PLUS to restore natural youthfulness.
  • NASOLABIAL FOLDS are lines extending downward from the bottom of the nose to the outer corners of the lips and are caused by fat that has shifted due to normal aging.  RESTYLANE, JUVEDERM, PERLANE, RADIESSE or BELOTERO corrects these unwelcome folds!
  • LIPS...Over time your lips can become thin, flat and lose their youthful shape and fullness.  Great lip plumpers include: JUVEDERM, RESTYLANE, PERLANE or BELOTERO.

FILLERS and INJECTABLES  are one of our most requested anti aging, age defying treatments today…for men and women, because they offer quick results with minimal downtime.  However, there is some misleading information out there about what they can and cannot do.  This false information causes much confusion, and I plan to address this in my next few blogs.  Look for that next time.

My Best to You and Yours,

Dr. Covey

 

For the Body of your Dreams…. Get “Body Sculpted”

My last couple blogs focused on Body Reshaping and an overview of a few of the amazing tools I employ to achieve my patients’ goals.  Body Sculpting, Refining, Reshaping and Body Contouring (interchangeable terms) is so popular among Baby Boomers, GenX and the Millennials today…thus the reason for my stayed focus on it.  Body Reshaping is safe and effective…is used for various body areas…and it is here to stay.

BodyChanging the size, profile or parameters of the anatomy and refining those areas is what Body Sculpting is all about. There are various methods used for achieving the “perfect body” or “body of your dreams.”

CAREFUL PLANNING is REQUIRED…

TO ACHIEVE YOUR MOST DESIRABLE RESULTS for BODY CONTOURING.

WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE TO HAVE BODY SCULPTING:

  • To tighten loose skin after dramatic weight loss
  • Restore a PrePregnancy Body after Childbirth
  • Tighten up loose, saggy skin and remove excess fat pockets
  • Eliminate unwelcome Cellulite and “dimples” it causes
  • Be able to wear stylish clothing of your choice
  • Sculpt a healthy, trim, firm and contoured body
  • Achieve the “refined” body they’ve always wanted
  • Restore self confidence and boost self esteem
  • Look as fabulous and healthy as you feel!

WHEN IS A GOOD TIME TO HAVE BODY SCULPTING DONE?  This is the most frequent questions I get from patients.  MY ANSWER:

This answer will vary with each patient since no two people are the same.  But, you should be in good general health, and at a stable weight…for at least three months before starting on your personalized treatment program.  Continuing a healthy, active lifestyle and weight management is critical to enjoying your long term results.

THE GOAL OF ALL BODY SCULPTING/CONTOURING is to achieve balance and harmony for the entire body.  Thus, treating the body “as a whole” and never as isolated parts.

Since, patients often choose multiple body areas for refining, a combination of treatments may be required to accomplish the desired goals.

A REVIEW OF TREATMENTS I OFFER MY PATIENTS

SMARTLIPO TRIPLEXTM  for Body Sculpting. .  It involves removing unwanted fat from body areas that have resisted even the strictest diet and most rigorous workouts. SmartLipo accomplishes more than liposuction with less invasiveness and amazing precision!

Other treatments are often used in combo with liposuction/lipolysis for the neck, jawline, inner arms, men’s breasts, abs and love handles, women’s bra fat (overhang) inner/outer thighs, inner knees, chin, hips, buttocks, pubic mound, back of neck, such as skin tightening using Exilis, Mesotherapy or Cellulaze etc. See my website for more info on these amazing options:  www.DrCovey.com.

EXILIS offers the newest advances in non surgical skin tightening to reduce unwanted inches and to lift and contour sagging skin anywhere on your body!  CELLULAZE LASER treatments attack cellulite where it originates…under the skin. One treatment can result in smoother skin on your abs, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms and anywhere cellulite occurs.

Every generation today is concerned with anti aging!  So, treatments are geared to turning back the clock…today’s Filler FaceLifts take years off an aging face by restoring youthfulness.  New Voluma, Botox, Juvederm, Belotero, Dysport, Perlane, Radiesse and Restylane injectables eliminate and smooth out lines and wrinkles. Laser treatments remove age/sun spots, acne and more, and are part of safe, effective treatments patients choose daily to slow down the signs of aging.

Call soon for your consultation and let’s get started on your Body Refining and age defying program!

Helping You Be Your Very Best,

Dr. Covey

Eliminate Cellulite, Get Sculpted and Get Better Buttocks!

NIP CELLULITE in the BUTTOCKS! !  Your buttocks are one of the favorite places for cellulite to call home.  I’m sure you know how stubborn Cellulite can be, regardless of a clean diet and rigorous workouts.  Women, in particular, are plagued by cellulite taking up residence in various areas of the body.  The buttocks are one of those places. CELLULAZE is a powerful laser treatment that reduces cellulite by attacking it under the skin in the structural tissues responsible for making cellulite.  CELLULAZE employs energy to heat up and cut the fibrous bands beneath the skin that cause the ugly dimpling.  One treatment offers immediate improvement with continued improvement for months and long term results.

WOMEN TODAY WANT BETTER BUTTOCKS!   Women who are into Body Sculpting and Refinement want their buttock area to look its absolute best. The concern is with shape, size and positioning.  They are smart and understand that diet and exercise alone will not get it.  Today’s amazing treatments include fat melting and skin tightening lasers that can achieve your perfect silhouette.  Read on to learn about other body shaping options in high demand today.

MESOTHERAPY … BREAKTHROUGH, NON SURGICAL THERAPY TO GET RID OF UNWANTED FAT and CELLULITE!  I am specialized and certified in this revolutionary treatment, having received my training from the worlds most renowned Mesotherapists:  Dr. Jacques Le Coz (Paris) and Dr. Patricia Ritters  (South America).  See the bullets below for the benefits you get:

CELLULAZE LASER to finally eliminate your cellulite!

Cellulite is relentless.  It shows up on the thighs, buttocks, stomach, upper arms and other body areas.  Diet, rigorous exercise, weight training and high intensity exercises are great for weight loss, weight control, strength building and muscle tone but they do not eliminate cellulite.  Women with dreaded cellulite constantly seek ways to be rid of it.

CAUSES of the BULGES of Cellulite include poor circulation, connective tissue and fibrous bands that push against fat. Aging, hormones, genetics and weight fluctuations, a build up of toxins, and enlarged fat cells play a role in how the hills and valleys of cellulite form within the layers of the skin.  Cellulite attacks 85% of women over age 20. 

TWO TYPES of CELLULITE:  1) Primary cellulite is due to enlarged or swollen fat cells that bulge through the tight fibrous septa bands that connect to the skin.  This is the classic cellulite that most women complain about. It’s mostly occurs on the thighs, buttocks and saddlebags.   2) Secondary Cellulite is caused by loose skin that makes the cellulite visible. Sun damage, extreme weight loss and aging skin are the causes. This type is harder to treat due to skin laxity.

Weak muscles have poorly developed muscle fibers and can impact how skin lays.  The stronger and more toned your muscles are, the better your body is at burning off excess fat and increasing circulation which may help limit the look of circulation. So, yes exercise is important to minimize cellulite…but it’s not the ultimate solution.

LUMPY POCKETS, magic creams, lotions and potions, SPA Treatments…none of them make cellulite disappear. But the revolutionary Cellulaze Laser dramatically reduces cellulite in one treatment!

CELLULAZEtm LASER is the world’s first minimally invasive way of attacking cellulite where it begins…under the skin!  You can have smoother skin on your abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks and arms, or anywhere cellulite appears, with just one treatment.

·      Cellulaze is a simple, in office treatment with brief downtime

·      It melts excess fat under the skin

·      Removes the fibrous band that pulls the skin into a dimple

·      Cellulaze stimulates collagen production which thickens skin

·      Uses a very small cannula with Sidelight 3Dtm technology

·      The technology directs laser thermal energy into the treatment zone

·      Lumpy fat pockets are diminished, skin depressions released and skin elasticity and skin thickness improves

·      Some results are seen immediately with ongoing improvement

My patients love Cellulazetm Laser treatments because they get results! Cellulaze is another method of body sculpting and contouring.  Visit my website for more info: www.drcovey.com.

TRIED ALL THE REST?  WHY NOT THE BEST… CELLULAZE LASER treatments to eliminate your cellulite!  Now is the time to start getting into shape for Spring events…graduations, weddings, family reunions and more. Let’s talk soon!

Best to you and yours,

Juvederm Voluma XC for youthful cheeks again…The choice of “ageless celebs”

Instant gratification is the anti aging war cry of today’s generations, both senior and everybody else!  In fact, the new beauty economics (tagged by the Millenials) includes cosmetic procedures as part of their normal health care routine, with the requirement that treatments be “in and out” with no downtime as much as possible. The bottom line is that men and women of all ages and stages in life are having “quick fix age defying, cosmetic treatments.

My constant goal is to help my patients achieve their individual goals to restore/maintain health and youthfulness. I offer the most advanced yet safest options available today. 

Juvederm® Voluma XC injectable filler is now FDA approved and I am proud to be among the first in my area to offer it.

JUVERDERM® VOLUMA XC…the next stage in advanced dermal fillers.  It is specifically formulated and approved for cheek augmentation for adults 21 and older.  Besides “instant gratification” it offers long lasting results that provide a more youthful appearance by reducing sunken, sagging, wrinkled skin through volume replacement.  With Juvederm Voluma XC you get immediate results… minus 10 years of facial aging.

BREAKTHROUGH SCIENCE and JUVEDERM® VOLUMA XC

·      Voluma XC is truly set apart from other dermal fillers.  Here’s what it offers:

·      Extra volume gel fills and gently lifts the cheeks

·      Nose and mouth lines and wrinkles are eliminated due to fuller midface contour (a mini lift!)

·      Results are instant with no downtime and long lasting youthful results

·      Skin looks and feels naturally smooth due to special formulation

·      Juvederm Voluma XC is safe and effective for all ethnicities

·      Lidocaine (part of the formulation) ensures comfortable injections

·      Two formula strengths: Xc and Ultra XC allows for versatilite treatments: mouth and nasolabial folds contouring (from volume replacement) and/or extra volume replacement for deeper wrinkles/folds using the Ultra XC formula

·      Treatment takes about 30 minutes and many patients return to normal activities

Men and women today are having injectable filler treatments.  They are starting younger (30’s) and maintaining regularly to keep looking good. Injectable fillers often stave off invasive procedures and keep you looking several years younger!  We’ve learned from the “Celebs” who start small treatments early and then maintain to continue looking ageless. Juvederm® Voluma XC is a top choice among “ageless celebrities.”

VALENTINE’S DAY and GORGEOUS, LIPS!  shutterstock_2966011

Act now if you want soft, supple, red hot lips by Valentine’s Day.  Lip Enhancement is a top treatment this time of year.  We can restore the sexy lips of your youth with injectables and a few habit changes. Website: www.drcovey.com.

Aging lips lose collagen thus causing the lips to become thin, flat, loose their pucker ability and their beautiful curves.  Collagen is replaced using HA fillers (hyaluronic acid) injected into pre targeted areas around the mouth.  Results can be instant and long lasting.  Lip Enhancement using Juvederm, Perlane, Restylane etc. is a  “quick fix” with beautiful, youthful results.  Let’s talk now!

I’m excited about the wonderful results we’re getting with Juvederm® Voluma XC!  You will be too once you’ve tried it!

Next blog will cover Body sculpting and contouring to get back into shape or to create your ideal body shape.
