Fort Walton Beach-Crestview-Destin, FL (1888PressRelease)
October 30, 2009 - Steven Weiner, MD, of the Aesthetic Clinique is widely recognized for bringing groundbreaking non-invasive cosmetic treatments to his patients. His medical facility, located in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, is the first to offer Fraxel® re:store Dual and Thermage® CPT treatments in all of Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama. Non-invasive procedures are rapidly growing in popularity due to lifestyle demands and refinements in devices and techniques which are leading to longer lasting and natural results.
Fraxel® re:store Dual is a fractional laser which tightens wrinkles and loose skin by penetrating the skin microscopically to stimulate collagen. This laser is used to treat wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, and pigment irregularity on large areas of the body. The safety and rapid healing from Fraxel® re:store Dual is related to its “fractional” component, which means it affects only the fraction of the skin to which it is applied. The Fraxel® re:store Dual is an upgrade to the already existing Fraxel® re:store and offers several improvements: more comfort, less treatments, and an additional laser wavelength for ground breaking pigmentation removal. Social downtime from the Dual is only up to a few days. Dr. Weiner already is national recognized as a leading provider of the Fraxel® re:pair which is an aggressive fractional CO2 laser for people desiring one treatment and more serious correction. The Fraxel re:pair has approximately seven days of downtime. Dr. Weiner is a physician preceptor of the Fraxel re:store Dual and the Fraxel re:pair lasers.
Thermage® is a completely non-invasive treatment that tightens the skin. By heating up the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, it promotes collagen formation to provide the improvement. Over time, sagging or wrinkled skin is replaced with smoother, tighter skin; improved tone and texture; and an overall younger looking appearance. It takes roughly six months to fully form the collagen and appreciate the full results, which can last three to five years. In addition, there is no downtime and the treatment can be performed on all skin types. The newest version, Thermage® CPT (Comfort Pulse Technology), has proven to be even more effective and more comfortable than prior models. During the procedure, a handheld device is pressed against your skin to safely deliver heat to the inner layers, at the same time cooling the surface of the skin.
Each time the device touches your skin, you’ll feel a brief cooling sensation, followed by a deep but brief heating sensation, followed by another cooling sensation. The heating sensation is a sign that the deep layers of your skin are reaching effective temperatures for tightening. After treatment, most people resume regular activities immediately. There’s no recovery time or special follow-up care. Aesthetic Clinique now offers this treatment and is one of the first ten in the country to have the Thermage® CPT system, and the first in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee.
