The Fresh Face of 2013 - Non-Surgical Options for a Brand New You!
Your face is capable of producing over 5,000 facial expressions! With new advances in non-surgical procedures, you now have one more reason to smile.
In 2011, 12.2 MILLION minimally invasive cosmetic procedures were performed in the US. 95% of these were performed on the face.
As we age...
- Zits, bumps and redness — sadly, they don't disappear with high school graduation. 50% of women in their twenties suffer from acne
- Since the skin is so delicate, by the time women are in their 30s they begin to experience undereye bags.
- Most sun damage to our skin occurs before our 20, but the effects manifest into sunspots by our 40s
- Small muscle contractions over a lifetime can result in crow’s feet and laugh lines in our 50s
Skin Care products account for 31% of the global cosmetics industry. In most cases, creams and lotions alone won’t stop your aging skin from looking tired.
Reverse damaging effects of aging with minimally invasive cosmetic procedures

- The second layer of skin is stimulated with lasers to produce more collagen fibers, smoothing and tightening your cheeks.

Why go minimally invasive?
- Boost your confidence with cost-effective options
- Quick and relatively painless procedures that could be completed over a lunch break

- Instant results
3 out of 4 physicians said they treat patients who seek facial procedures to stay competitive in the workplace.
Non-surgical facial procedures are ever-increasing in popularity: 123% increase in total minimally invasive cosmetic procedures from 2000 to 2011
Buyer Beware! Popularity and the economic downturn ushered many non-medical personnel into the arena offering cosmetic treatments like BOTOX®. Beware of ads or promotions that sound too good to be true; they may be!
