(March 2007) InnovaMed is pleased to now offer Thermage for safe, nonsurgical skin tightening of the face, eyes, neck and many other areas of the body. Thermage is a safe procedure, which utilizes radio-frequency energy. This causes an immediate tightening of the skin as well as continued collagen formation over the following several months.

(March 2006) Drs. Brito, Razbaouski and DeGuide have been certified in the FotoFacialRF procedure by Dr. Patrick Bitter, Jr. and Dr. R. Stephen Mulholland, codevelopers of this revolutionary technique. For more information please visit www.fotofacialrf.com.

(March 2006) Radiesse is the newest nonsurgical facial filler that delivers an immediate, longer lasting result. This unique filler complements Restylane which we have already been using with great success over the past two years.

(January 2006) Facials designed to benefit different skin types are now being performed by Sarah Ramirez, our licensed esthetician. Facials are also important before and after cosmetic procedures, such as our FotoFacialRF or Microdermabrasion. They help enhance the benefits, heal and protect skin.

Our new mineral make-up is actually good for your skin! It contains no talc, fillers, alcohol, dyes, fragrance or mineral oil. They are noncomedogenic so they won't clog pores. The mineral foundations contain titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, a natural, nonirritating SPF. Sunscreen is the best defense against aging! They contain more zinc to promote faster healing, especially after a procedure or surgery. Use our foundation after Microdermabrasion, FotoFacialRF or other cosmetic procedures to cover the temporary redness that may occur.

(January 2006) To further enhance the InnovaMed skin enhancement and hair removal practice, we have recently acquired elos combined energy technology. This revolutionary treatment combines the power of two energiesbipolar radio frequency and lightto produce the safest, most effective and comfortable skin treatment available today. By utilizing two energy sources, more effective results are produced with lower overall energy output which provides the highest level of safety and comfort for the patient.

The elos technology utilizes gentle pulses of targeted energy to isolate the treatment area and leave the surrounding skin free from potentially harmful side effects. Effective for both skin enhancement and hair removal, elos can be used on patients of all skin types. For more information on elos technology, contact an InnovaMed physician at 815-987-1802.
