MICRODERMABRASION


Microdermabrasion is the most safe and easy alternative, leading even Chemical Peels and Laser Resurfacing because it is rapid and easily applied with no required posttreatment recovery time.

The benefits of microdermabrasion are substantial: 
General rejuvenation and improvement in the health of your skin.
Low cost (compared to laser resurfacing or cosmetic surgery)
Few side effects, none being long term
Reduction of wrinkle lines (small and medium) created by premature aging
Fibroblast stimulation for collagen production
Scar revision
Reduction of hyperpigmentation (at times in combination with depigmenting compounds)
Better penetration of topical treatments carefully chosen for after the treatment  
Zero promotion of adverse chemical irritation

Microdermabrasion is able to treat:
Pigmentation caused by sun damage, melasma and age spotting
Blackheads and pimples
Fine lines and minor wrinkles
Acne y imperfecciones cutáneas
Acne and skin imperfections
Closed and swollen pores
Dry and flaky skin
Skin with excessive sebaceous secretion
Reduction of scars and callouses
Attenuation of the borders of the treated areas with laser resurfacing using the untreated areas
Pre-treatment for cosmetic surgery

With microdermabrasion it is extremely important to recognize possible contraindications and, at a minimum, keep in mind that trauma from the resurfacing associated with microdermabrasion can aggravate previous conditions. Both common sense and medical supervision should decide the treatment in the following cases:
Active or uncontrolled diabetes
Lesiones virales, Herpes Simple
Viral lesions, including Herpes Simplex
Eczema or dermatitis (seborrhea)
Rosacea
Usage of blood clotting or thinning medications (aspirin, etc.)
Skin cancer and autoimmune diseases
Vitiligo
Telangiectasias, varicose and spider veins
Cancer, HIV or any other autoimmune disease
Skin burned or damaged by the sun


COLLAGEN FILLERS



The results last several months, after which everything returns to its original state. This procedure is recommended to temporarily increase the shape and form of the lips and for smoothing out wrinkles and ridges in the face and forehead, and sunken or recessed scars.


TOXINA BOTULINICA TIPO A


TOXINA BOTULINICA TIPO A targets the peripheral cholingeric nerve endings such that, when injected into a muscle, causes reduced contractions of the same. This procedure lasts between 2 and 6 months at the end of which the patient returns to his or her original condition.

TOXINA BOTULINICA TIPO A is the commercial name of the medication that is used in over 6 million cosmetic surgery treatments annually in Mexico
without even one major complication. 

The controlled paralyzing effect of TOXINA BOTULINICA TIPO A injections is a cosmetic procedure recommended for the temporary and reversible (nonpermanent) treatment of movement wrinkles resulting from extremely active muscle regions:
· Forehead wrinkles
· Wrinkles between the eyes
· Crow’s feet
· Correction of asymmetries in the height of the eyebrows (asymmetry due to muscular hypertonia without unilateral palpebral ptosis.)
