[Posted on August 3]
Lash enhancement for life!
Imagine the beauty and confidence that come with longer, thicker and darker eyelashes. If you are one of the many people that suffer from inadequate eyelashes, now there’s an easy solution. LATISSE™ is an FDA approved prescription treatment for hypotrichosis, the scientific name for having insufficient eyelash coverage. This breakthrough formula is used to grow your real eyelashes for life, making them longer and more prominent. Learn how you can enhance the appearance of your eyes—one of your most distinguished and striking features—with this simple daily topical treatment.
Open your eyes to the possibilities.
What is LATISSE™?
LATISSE™ is the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or insufficient eyelashes (also known as hypotrichosis of the eyelashes). This specialized
topical treatment is applied directly to lashes once daily to make them longer, thicker and darker.
How does LATISSE™ work?
The LATISSE™ topical treatment is designed to target and enhance the normal “growth phase” of eyelash hair by both increasing the length of this crucial phase and multiplying
the number of hairs grown during this time. If you stop using LATISSE™, eyelashes will gradually return to their previous appearance.
How quickly will I see results?
Eyelash growth with LATISSE™ is gradual, and fills in naturally over time. Initial changes may be visible around four weeks with longer, thicker and darker effects peaking at 16 weeks. At four months, 78% of those in a LATISSE™ clinical study showed significant increase in overall eyelash prominence.
How do I obtain a LATISSE™ prescription?

BOTOX®-
Smooth Out Life
[Posted on August 17]
Look younger.
Many of us would love to improve our appearance, but don’t have either the time or the desire to undergo cosmetic surgery. With today’s advancements, there are things that we can do to make amazing changes without surgery or a long recovery period.
Thanks to BOTOX®, a FDA-approved drug, dynamic lines can be dramatically softened. BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments can be used to improve the appearance of worry lines,
frown lines, laugh lines, crow’s feet and other wrinkles caused by aging. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments today. This procedure can be done on a lunch break and requires no anesthesia or recovery. Patients love this "quick fix" and return for a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment boost as soon as the wrinkles begin to reappear!
What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the trade name of Botulinum Toxin Type A, a purified
neurotoxin complex manufactured by Allergan. This toxin blocks the nerve impulses to muscles, causing a form of paralysis to each muscle group. Although it is a toxin, BOTOX® Cosmetic has been used safely by ophthalmologists for over 10 years. It has been used for wrinkle therapy since the early 1990's with no serious side effects. In fact, people with migraine or chronic headache pain often find relief of their symptoms after BOTOX® Cosmetic therapy. This naturally formed substance (BOTOX® Cosmetic) is injected into muscle that is contracting abnormally. Be assured that BOTOX® Cosmetic therapy is safe. It has been used for aesthetic purposes for many years and is a popular treatment for visible signs of aging.
How does it work?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected directly into a specific muscle, only the action of that muscle will be paralyzed. Therefore, the problem that muscle causes will be stopped, leaving your skin smooth and relaxed. After the treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion. Some of the most common areas treated include crow’s feet, frown lines, laugh lines, and forehead wrinkles.
Will the effects last?
The actual BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment takes only a few minutes and takes effect in three to four days. Gradually over three to five months the effects of the treatment will fade, and the muscle action will return. When expression lines start to reappear, a simple repeat treatment is all that is necessary to maintain the desired result.
