Anti-Aging Services

THE STEPS TO TAKE TO RESIST THE NATURAL AGING PROCESS ARE:

  • A specific skin care regimen, composed of products, services
  • Daily routines that are performed at home

In the right combination, these steps help to correct each person’s specific skin issues.

The first and most important building block of this regimen is a medical-grade anti-aging skincare system, i.e. a product line or combination of product lines that include cleansers, exfoliators, toners, moisturizers, problem-solvers, and anti-aging products for the skin.

The goal of this skincare regimen is to produce and maintain healthy skin and will require training and at home discipline to achieve the amazing results that are possible. The earlier in life such a regimen is started, the later in life you enjoy the benefits of healthy skin.

As skin ages, the body’s ability to replace skin cells slows down and more and more dead skin cells build-up. The effects of this aging process include sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, rough texture and dull tone. The above is far from a complete list as there are many possible sources for skin problems.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are performed to achieve better skin tone and to remove fine lines, especially on the face. The chemical solution removes outer layers of skin that are damaged by age, sun, acne, wrinkles or pigmentation problems.

A chemical peel is an aesthetic procedure performed to achieve better skin tone and to remove fine lines on the face and body. The chemical peel removes outer layers of skin that are damaged by age, sun, acne, wrinkles or pigmentation problems. Removing the outer skin prompts the body to generate a new layer of skin cells.

The chemical peels at Emerald Coast Med Spa are unique to our spa. The treatments are made up from a local compounding pharmacy so our ingredients are much fresher than our competitors and several of the treatments were designed and created by Stephanie Wilbanks.

DERMA PEEL

The Derma Peel is a medical procedure that starts with removing a layer of dead skin cells with a process called dermaplaining, this allows for deeper penetration into the skin. Next, depending on your skin type, we determine what strength of peel to do. The treatment then consists of removing comedones (blackheads/whiteheads) resulting in a smoother soft look (clarity).

DERMA PEEL PLUS

This treatment works into the deeper layers of the skin. The acid used for this peel has more antimicrobial properties to help reduce the effects of acne, fine lines, and sun damage. Created by Stephanie Wilbanks, this treatment can only be found at Emerald Coast Med Spa.

MED PEEL

This fabulous treatment penetrates the deeper layers of skin. The Med-Peel helps stimulate the renewal process and is excellent for sun damage (hyperpigmentation), fine lines and wrinkles and reducing the appearance of acne, leading to great skin health.

GLOW & GO

Attending a special event? This facial treatment will have everyone noticing your complexion as soon as you walk in the door. Created by Stephanie Wilbanks, this treatment can only be found at Emerald Coast Med Spa.

OBAGI BLUE RADIANCE

Obagi Blue RADIANCE provides instant radiance—tighter, smoother, brighter-looking skin after just one use. Instant, radiant results for most skin types. Improves a range of skin concerns, including photo/sun damage, and results in an overall improvement in texture and tone with little-to-no downtime. A series of 4 to 6 peels provides best overall results.

OBAGI BLUE PEELTM (TCA)

Obagi Blue Peel is the creation of Dr. Zein Obagi, a dermatologist from Beverly Hills renowned for his expert knowledge on chemical peels. The Obagi Blue Peel is a chemically superior peel that achieves optimum skin resurfacing in comparison to other invasive medical skin resurfacing procedures. This peel is highly recommended by the staff at Emerald Coast Med Spa to aid in tightening of the skin, sun damage (hyperpigmentation), and acne.

Micro Needling

Microneedling (a.k.a. collagen induction therapy) is a minimally invasive treatment to rejuvenate the skin. Results can include improved texture and firmness, as well as a reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks.

COLLAGEN P.I.N.

With our Collagen P.I.N treatment, the skin starts repairing itself immediately after treatment. In fact, a single Collagen P.I.N treatment is good enough to activate fibroblasts (the cells synthesizing fresh collagen) for up to a year. Elastin production and fresh collagen leads to younger, plumper, firmer, and healthier skin – helping decrease the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne marks for a completely enhanced skin texture and tone. Collagen P.I.N., which stands for Percutaneous Induction Therapeutic Micro-Needling, is a new way to obtain younger looking skin without surgery. Collagen P.I.N. is an automated device with extremely small needles – it’s great for scars, lines and general appearance.

Why is Collagen P.I.N so popular with our clients? Because, with age, the skin loses volume and plumpness, the very two properties that keep the skin glowing and youthful.

However, Collagen P.I.N. works to bring these back!

There are many reasons and benefits to using Collagen P.I.N. over dermal fillers and other products on the market: It’s safe to use for all skin types and sensitivities. The outcome of the procedure is to have the body produce its own collagen and elastin, which is what the Collagen P.I.N. stimulates. The needles are extremely small and as they penetrate the skin, they produce very specific “micro-injuries” in the face. This produces the two properties lost due to aging. When the skin repairs itself, the collagen and elastin are increased and this helps to erase lines and wrinkles. Through these micro-injuries, minute holes are created in the skin. These holes allow different topical products to enter through and absorb easier and more successfully – elongating the results.

HOW IT WORKS

The Collagen P.I.N. is extremely fast. Because it’s powered by a motor, it delivers efficient and superior results. The needle is able to pierce the skin with speed and ease and the patient in return is provided with a far more comfortable procedure. In addition to this, each treatment is able to be customized depending on the patient and the results they would like. The needle is not fixed but instead is adjustable so it can reach different depths in the skin. Why is this needed? Because lines and wrinkles on the face are all different depths and require different treatment. This is one of the differences between the latest technology in needling devices and what was used before. The Collagen P.I.N. is able to apply the depth necessary during each treatment.

Before treatment, a serum is applied to the skin (most probably hyaluronic acid). This serum helps the micro-needle cartridge work its way smoothly across the surface of the patient’s skin, creating several thousand micro-channels each second in the process. These micro-channels stimulate the healing process for a fresh, new layer of skin.

COLLAGEN P.I.N TREATMENT CAN BE USED ON THE:

  • Face
  • Neck
  • Hands
  • Arms
  • Decolletage
  • Legs
  • Back
  • Abdomen
  • Scars
  • Stretch marks, etc.

BENEFITS

Collagen P.I.N. is creating a purposeful injury to the skin, but small enough so the skin repairs itself looking better than it did previously. During the procedure, the Collagen P.I.N. slides across your face and creates these tiny injuries. One of the benefits of undergoing this type of treatment is that it’s not only used for the face. Collagen P.I.N. can be used on the legs, arms, neck, abdomen, hands and even the back. There are huge possibilities when deciding to forego traditional treatments. Only 3-6 treatments are recommended, depending on which area is needing work and how intense it is.

Although Collagen P.I.N. may not be as popular as some other dermal filler and laser treatments, it’s one of the best out there. The effectiveness of the treatment makes it stand out from the rest.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are used to restore volume and smooth outlines in the face and hands. They are popular with our clients because once injected, they turn back the clock. Years of lost volume due to aging or even rapid weight loss can be recovered in just one visit. They can also be used on scarring resulting from acne.

Dermal fillers come in the form of a gel-like substance and are the most effective when filling in wrinkles and collapsed cheek volume.

Dermal fillers come in the form of a gel-like substance and are the most effective when filling in wrinkles and collapsed cheek volume.

WHY ARE DERMAL FILLERS SO POPULAR?

Wrinkles, lines and folds are inevitable because as we age, we also lose volume. The skin on our face thins and stretches and causes these lines. Dermal fillers can help anyone achieve younger-looking skin without a surgical procedure, giving you more time to spend on important tasks and less time recovering. Depending on the number of areas you wish to treat during a visit, receiving injections can be quick and convenient. Afterward, you are free to continue doing daily tasks – you can even immediately return to work.

Not only are fillers great for getting rid of lines and wrinkles, but they can also help fill thin lips, sunken cheeks and dimples. As mentioned, they can also be used on the hands. The hands tend to show the aging the most and dermal fillers are a fabulous way to turn back the aging clock on your hands since they are out in the open day in and day out.

ZERO DOWNTIME? YES!

The most popular benefit of dermal fillers is their improvement to problem areas without the client having to undergo major surgery. This in turn also saves you money. Although the initial results are not permanent, dermal fillers help to stimulate your body’s own production of collagen and last anywhere between 6-12 months, depending on the area. Instead of having to spend weeks recovering, you can enhance your look even during your lunch break!

Dermal fillers will help to make you feel beautiful again, for a tiny fraction of the cost of a more invasive decision.

Q & A

Is it painful?

Absolutely not, fillers are not painful what so ever when injected. The only thing you will feel is the initial stick of the needle. However, with our technique, this sensation lasts only a fraction of a second.

How long do I have to wait before continuing my daily activities?

When you’re done with the treatment you can get right back up and continue your day, there is absolutely no downtime. On very rare occasions, depending on the level of skin sensitivity, there may be a small amount of swelling. If this is the case then we suggest you take it easy for a maximum of 24 hours.

Can I do other treatments with dermal fillers?

Yes, you can! There is no danger in combining other treatments with dermal fillers. One popular combination of treatments is dental fillers and Botox. You can perform both treatments during the same appointment, as long as the injections aren’t in the same place.

Available Dermal Fillers

Botox

THE BENEFITS OF BOTOX:

Botox is used to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Botox can be used not only for wrinkles and lines in your face, such as.

  • crows feet
  • wrinkles on the forehead
  • frown lines
  • Botox  can also be used on areas of the neck as well.

Some of us don’t look at our neck the same amount as we do our face, but your neck ages just like your face. Using Botox on the face and neck is a great way to get that younger look, without having undergo major surgery! As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and successively, sagging occurs. Botox can help to lift certain areas like the brow – reducing the look of tiredness. Plus, who wouldn’t want a wonderfully arched brow?

Another benefit of Botox is its ability to help with migraines. If you have ever had a migraine, you know how painful and debilitating they can be. The fact that Botox has been shown to reduce or totally get rid of these unpleasant problems is remarkable.

Botox was originally thought of as having one use, but as you can see, there are multiple benefits and positive outcomes from using this miracle cosmetic. It is a quick and convenient way to solve many problems most of us have faced at one point or another in our lives.

Juvéderm

JUVÉDERM ULTRA PLUS XC

Juvederm Ultra Plus is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler to treat deep wrinkles, lines and folds around the nasolabial area of the face. It is also used on the lips, periorbita (area around the eye) and even the hands. Because Juvederm Ultra Plus is a clear gel, it looks extremely natural, especially when used to add volume to the lips.

Juvederm Ultra Plus consists of a thicker “liquid” when compared to its sister product, Juvederm Ultra. Because of the increased thickness in the product, the results are much longer lasting and give Ultra Plus a leg up on the competition.

JUVÉDERM ULTRA XC

Juvederm Ultra is also an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler but treats less serious wrinkles and folds. Similar to Juvederm Ultra Plus, it is a clear gel and contains naturally occurring ingredients found in the body. This feature increases the longevity of the product and the number of injections needed to fix a “problem area”. Patients have reported seeing their results last up to 1 year, which is significantly longer than some of the other products on the market today. One main difference between Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus is how deep the injection into the dermis is. Because Juvederm Ultra Plus is injected deeper into the dermis, it is able to reach more prominent lines and wrinkles. Juvederm Ultra is injected into the surface of the dermis, making it a great option for problem areas that are not extensive. Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus

As mentioned, Juvederm Ultra is thinner and less of a gel than Ultra Plus. If you’re looking to change the look of fine lines and wrinkles and even scars, consider going with Juvederm Ultra. Many of our patients choose to go with this product where a smaller volume has been lost.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring property in the body, which is why many dermal fillers usually contain this compound. Juvederm Ultra Plus is one of the top dermal fillers on the market, and for good reason. Juvederm Ultra Plus also lasts longer because it does not degrade in the body as quickly. This is due to the cross-linking properties, which are 8% in Ultra Plus, compared to 6% in Juvederm Ultra.  Because of the naturally occurring ingredients, both are absorbed by the body slower than other dermal fillers on the market.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC

Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus are approved to be used in conjunction with lidocaine – a local anesthetic.

Wrinkles and lines aren’t the only signs of aging. Over time, the cheeks flatten, and the skin may begin to sag. This is caused by a natural loss of volume in the cheek area, or what the experts call age-related midface volume loss. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC is designed to add volume beneath the skin’s surface to lift and contour the cheek area.

Dysport

WHAT IS DYSPORT?

Dysport is a prescription medicine, similar to Botox. As it’s more popular use is for wrinkles, the solution is injected into the wrinkles to smooth out the lines. Let’s take the forehead for example. The wrinkled lines on the forehead are created by our constant facial expressions, no matter what they are. Prolonged muscle activity creates a permanent wrinkle. Injecting Dysport to this area fills in the lines and rids years of muscle strain.

Sculptra Aesthetic

SCULPTRA AESTHETIC

Sculptra Aesthetic is made with biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body and helps to rebuild lost collagen through a series of treatments administered by a trained specialist.

 

The specialist injects treatment within the deep dermis, where strands of collagen support your skin’s structure. Over time, Sculptra Aesthetic helps the body reproduce lost collagen. On average, three injection appointments are needed over a period of a few months. The number of injection appointments and the number of injections per appointment vary from person to person, depending on how much collagen has been lost.

Restylane

WHAT IS RESTYLANE?

With over 30 million treatments worldwide and counting, the Restylane line of hyaluronic acid fillers provides natural-looking results by smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds, providing subtle lip enhancement and smoothing the lines around the mouth, and adding lift and volume to the cheeks.

RESTYLANE® -L

Restylane-L, the original Restylane filler from Galderma, is an injectable dermal filler that includes lidocaine, a local anesthetic that improves patient comfort during treatment. The active ingredient is hyaluronic acid, a chemical that is found naturally in the body. Hyaluronic acid holds onto moisture, aids in tissue repair, and provides added cushioning within the body, particularly in the joints. For facial anti-aging, it also helps structural elements in the skin like elastin and collagen stay together.

RESTYLANE-L® IS ABLE TO:

  • Smooth away wrinkles and furrow lines
  • Add volume to your lips
  • Diminish many signs of aging

WHAT IS RESTYLANE®   REFYNE?

Restylane  Refyne is designed with XpresHAn Technology™ to help soften laugh lines (nasolabial folds and marionette lines). This can help you restore a more natural look to your face while maintaining your facial expressions. So, you always look like you.  Contact us today at 850.939.5413 and see for yourself why it’s worth it.

WHAT IS RESTYLANE®   DEFYNE?

Crafted with XpresHAn Technology™, Restylane® Defyne helps smooth out deep laugh lines (nasolabial folds and marionette lines). Using innovative cross-linking technology, Restylane Defyne is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is able to help restore a more youthful, natural-looking appearance, while helping you maintain your natural expressions

WHAT IS RESTYLANE®   SILK?

A filler that can help you achieve your ideal lips. Restylane® Silk is the first FDA-approved product specifically designed for lip augmentation and the smoothing of wrinkles around the mouth in patients 21 years of age and older.

WHAT IS RESTYLANE®   LYFT?

Over time, the natural fat that surrounds the cheeks begins to deteriorate, resulting in sagging skin, more prominent wrinkles and a reduction of volume. Restylane Lyft, formerly known as Perlane-L®, is an injectable hyaluronic acid gel used to correct volume loss and treat wrinkles in the face. Through nonsurgical injections, Restylane Lyft is specifically designed to add fullness to the cheeks and midface area, which can result in a more natural-looking, youthful appearance.

Restylane Lyft is the first and only FDA-approved filler indicated to provide lift to cheeks and add volume to correct and smooth smile lines (nasolabial folds).

Kybella

KYBELLA

Many women eat well, exercise often, have lost weight, and are frustrated that the little pocket of fat that sits under their chins just will not go away. Some women don’t want to turn to surgery, as it might seem too extreme, and some feel that the extra fat under their chin makes them look older than they are. Some women simply just want to look younger, who doesn’t? KYBELLA might be the perfect solution!

KYBELLA is used to reduce the profile of the chin and can reduce the fat that accumulates under the chin whether there is a moderate or severe amount accumulated below the jawline.

KYBELLA uses synthetic deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the human body. This substance assists in the breakdown of dietary fat. This active ingredient is injected into the fat that accumulates under the chin and demolishes the fat cells that are stubbornly sitting there. Once these fat cells are damaged beyond repair, they can no longer store or gather future fat. KYBELLA provides permanent results once the desired goal is met.

Trained specialists are the only people who can assess if KYBELLA is right for each client. Once it is determined that KYBELLA is a good solution to reducing the double-chin, treatments will begin. The client will receive multiple small injections under the chin, a process that only takes about 20 minutes. The number of treatments will depend on the amount of fat that has accumulated and the client’s desired final look.

KYBELLA is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment for improving the appearance of one’s profile and fat that has stored under the chin. This treatment is currently only available for adults. If you’re tired of working hard to get rid of the fat under your chin, and you want to look younger, improve your profile, but not undergo surgery, KYBELLA might be the perfect solution for you!

Emerald Coast Med Spa is dedicated to providing the latest technologies and treatments available for anti-aging services.
