FORMA | $$

Forma (nonsurgical skin tightening) is a non-invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency to target deep into the skin's layers. It improves your skin's elasticity by heating up tissue, which in turn builds collagen. Most people who start to see signs of aging will use forma on the nasolabial folds area or for sagging skin around the jawline. But millennials are using it around the eyes for a quick brow lift and to target crows feet. Forma is safe for all skin types and is relatively painless. In fact, it feels like a nice warm massage on your face. The procedure can take around 30 mins to an hour, depending on what areas your technician is focusing on. Patients will usually book a series of 5-6 treatments, once a week and then keep up with maintenance monthly. If done correctly, you can see the benefits and results following the treatment for up to 4-5 years, making it a great alternative to Botox.

 

MICRONEEDLING w/ PRP | $$

It makes total sense, but it is surprising that people still are not aware of the benefits of micro needling with prp. A typical visit would entail a quick blood draw, that is then placed into a centrifuge ( a machine that spins the blood), which separates your body’s nutrient rich plasma from the blood. Microneedling is then performed on the entire face, neck and / or chest, and the prp is applied all over, acting as a serum. You can also do micro injections around the face and target areas that need a little more love, such as the eyes or smokers lines around the lips,  but that is optional. Both prp and microneedling stimulate collagen growth and help heal scars or imperfections in the skin. Microneedling is also good for uneven skin tone and helps to trigger something called the ‘embryonic wound healing technique’ which is one of the most effective ways to regenerate tissue and collagen lose, which makes it an excellent alternative to Botox. Downtime can be anywhere from 3 to 7 days. 

  

LED | $

There is a ton of hype around LED technology these days, but not many people know why or exactly how they work. LED therapy does not contain ultraviolet rays so it is safe for regular use and does not make hyperpigmentation worse in clients who are sensitive to light or heat. There are three different types of lights that are commonly used in skin care;  blue, red and amber. Blue treats acne by killing bacteria in the skin, red combats any type of inflammation, cystic acne, bruising or injuries in the skin, and amber helps to build collagen and elasticity in the skin. Since hyperpigmentation is a form of inflammation, it can be minimized with regular use of LED therapy. Overall, continuous LED sessions will result in younger more youthful skin and promote healing of tissue and softening of fine lines and wrinkles. There is no downtime with LED.

 

CO2 LASER | $$$

Although CO2 lasers are one of the oldest technologies in the beauty industry, they are still one of the most effective and are commonly used in derm offices. This machine works by heating up the surface layers of the skin just enough to cause regeneration in the top layers of the epidermis. It helps to soften the appearance of age spots, fine lines and wrinkles as well as some minimal skin tightening. CO2 lasers are very effective and safe for treating crepeyness underneath the eyes, and tightening stretched skin anywhere on the face neck and chest. Downtime can take up to 2 weeks, and most lasers should not be performed during hot seasons of the year. Minimal sun exposure is required for optimal results.

    BITCOIN LOST OR STOLEN LOST RECOVERY MASTERS TELLS YOU HOW TO GET IT BACK.

    I was originally introduced to bitcoin by an Instagram acquaintance of mine. The notion appealed to me, so I decided to invest through the website. I made money from investments in the beginning, and I continued to do so until the website vanished. I couldn’t get any money out before the incident, but luckily my friend suggested Lost Recovery Masters. Right on schedule, they helped me receive my entire money back. It was a pleasure to work with them and they did an excellent job. It may seem unbelievable, yet it is exactly what happened. They put a lot of effort into their work, and we were reimbursed. Consult Lost Recovery Masters.

    My husband left me and my son and never returned till DR ISIKOLO intervened. My story does not differ from others who have taken their time to share information about him to the world. I had marital issues with my husband which made him leave me and traveled to another city. At some point i was depressed and got help from nowhere till i came in contact with Dr Isikolo who helped me. He restored the love and connection between me and my partner and i got him back after 2 days as he promised. Just like everyone else talking about him, I am here to tell good of him and thank him for bringing joy to my life once again. He won’t fail if you give him a try to help you as well. Just text him via WhatsApp: +2348133261196 or read more about him and as well contact him via his website (https://isikolotemple.com)

    Hi everyone. My name is Nicolette Elliot I am here to thank great Dr Isikolo for fixing my marital problems. My marriage crashed due to unending problems and difficulties I had with my husband. He left without looking back and I was alone for so many months. His family intervened and still nothing changed. I was wrecked emotionally and lost hope in finding love again because he was everything in a man I ever wanted. Just like so many people, I got to know about DR ISIKOLO when I started searching for help. We discussed my problems at length and he assured me of getting the solution I needed. I had no choice than to comply with his procedures and he didn’t delay anything. He did a love reunion bond for me and my husband and the love and happiness we shared was restored and he reached me exactly after 48 hours as DR ISIKOLO promised. He is indeed a wonderful helper and he is trustworthy. if you have any problems, just text him via WhatsApp +2348133261196 or email him via: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com or review his website (https://isikolotemple.com)
