Collagen Replacement Therapy
Collagen replacement therapy is a technique designed to smooth out facial lines on the surface of the face. This treatment helps restore the underlying support structures of the skin. Collagen protein forms a network of fibers that make up the second layer, or dermis, of the skin. With use over time and

exposure to the elements, the skin loses its resiliency and elasticity or tone. For example, every time you smile, frown, or squint, you put stress on the underlying collagen in the skin, which results in the development of facial lines. Collagen injections help restore the support structure of the face, thus enhancing the contours of the upper layer of skin.

Glycolic Acid Face Peels
Offering smoother skin to people of most ages and skin types, this non-surgical "surface repair" treatment enhances appearance and gives skin a fresh look. Glycolic Acid Treatments can smooth dry, rough sun damaged skin and fade age spots.

This usually requires daily home treatments combined with more potent and effective office treatments by a physician.(70% Peels) A 70% Peel may be applied 4-6 times a year depending on a patients skin type and individual response. Though the degree of change varies from person to person, with continued use of glycolic acid preparations, you will begin to see subtle improvements in the texture and tone of your skin.
