Great Skin = Great Looks

The Longevity Centre of Houston is now offering state-of-the-art Laser and Cosmetic Therapies that are safe and very effective.  We have waited to offer these treatments until the technology and medical protocols were developed to the point that they met our standards for medical excellence.

 

We are pleased to offer the following services using state-of-the-art Laser, IPL, and Skin Care systems.

• Adult Acne:  Longevity Centre of Houston uses a team approach to the treatment of Acne.  Standard medical prescriptions combined with the latest Aesthetic technology provides maximum benefit to those who suffer from Acne.
• Brava System:  Brava System is a proven, safe and painless way for a woman to augment her breasts.  The Brava System enlarges, lifts, and even helps correct asymmetry of a woman's breast.
• BOTOX:  Botulinum (a nerve toxin) is injected into the muscles near facial wrinkles.  It blocks nerve impulses and temporarily paralyzes the muscles that cause wrinkles, smoothing them out.  The effects last an average of four months and there is no down time.
• Chemical Peel:  A chemical peel solution (i.e.: alpha hydroxy acid) is applied to the face to erode away the skin's top layers.  New, healthier-looking skin emerges during the healing process.  Recovery time is 1-2 weeks.
• Collagen Remodeling:  Laser skin remodeling is a new revolutionary treatment of rhytids. This gentle and pain free process involves heating the dermis while cooling the overlying epidermis, thus stimulating the production of collagen. This neo-collagen gradually reduces and softens wrinkles and gives the skin a younger and fresher look.
• Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation:  Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation is a gentle laser treatment for wrinkles and sun damage.  This no-downtime procedure is appropriate for the face but also for the chest, neck and hands - anywhere that sun damage shows.  Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation is a non-ablative, non-invasive procedure – the surface of the skin is not damaged or removed. The gentle lasers correct pigmentation irregularities and encourage new collagen growth to smooth out existing facial wrinkles.
• Facial Spider Veins:  These are small diameter, linear blood vessels that occur on the surface of the skin.  Some people may refer to them as “broken blood vessels”.  Common areas where these lesions occur are the face and cheeks, particularly on the sides of the nasal ala and around the nostrils. Facial Veins or Telangectasias are common in people with sun-damaged skin and also in people with rosacea.  Lasers have been used effectively for the treatment of telangectasias.
• Hair Reduction: FPL and Laser treatments for unwanted hair is a non-invasive approach to permanent reduction and long-term hair removal. Treatment is specifically designed to eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body. The treatment will safely eliminate hundreds of unwanted hair.  We are able to treat ALL SKIN TYPES safely and effectively.
• Leg Vein Therapy (Small Sized):  Spider (Red) Veins are cosmetically unpleasing vein which go by the medical term of Telangectasia.  They may be found over any part of the body, but they are most noticed on the Face and Legs.  Fortunately these blemishes are easily treated with laser therapy.
• Leg Vein Therapy (Medium Sized):  Unsightly varicosities are injected with a solution (hypertonic saline) that irritates the lining of the vein, causing fibrous tissue to develop.  Blood flow stops, veins collapse and eventually disappear.  Two or more sessions are usually required.  The effects are permanent.  Remember...No Pain, No Vein!!!
• Lumps and Bumps:  These are very common.  Seen more commonly in insulin resistant patients, and appear with increasing age.  Found around the neck and axillae (under the arms).  May be skin colored or pigmented (brown), often on a little pedicle or 'stalk', and are painless.
• Microdermabrasion:  True beauty is only 1mm away.  Microdermabrasion is a technique which brings back the glow of lack luster skin, smoothens out wrinkles, and improves acne scars.  Fine crystals are blown across the skin's surface removing the top layer of useless dead skin.  This is a relatively benign procedure which requires no topical anesthesia and no recovery time.  Four to five once-a-week sessions are usually required.
• Photo-Facial™: Skin rejuvenation is the visible improvement of sun damaged skin through the use of Fluorescent Pulsed Light technology to remove enlarged blood vessels and irregular pigmentation, and stimulate the underlying collagen. Typically several treatments are required for full-face treatment. Results such as elimination of red and brown blemishes, reduction of minor wrinkles, reduction of pore size and a general tightening of your skin's collagen may become apparent after the first few treatments. Call Longevity Centre of Houston today to learn more about this effective procedure.
• Rosacea:  Rosacea is a long lasting, non-scarring skin condition of the face that is often misdiagnosed as adult acne. It varies in severity and does not always worsen with time. Typically, you will experience inappropriate flushing that is not usually associated with sweating and/or persistent facial redness. It is common to have broken blood vessels (telangectasias) on your cheeks.
• Shaving Bumps (Pseudofolliculitis Barbae):  Pseudofolliculitis barbae (razor bumps) is a common condition of the beard area occurring in African American men and other people with curly hair. The problem results when highly curved hairs grow back into the skin causing inflammation and a foreign body reaction.
• Sun Damaged Skin:  Intense Pulsed Light^TM (IPL) skin treatments using the photo rejuvenation process represent a breakthrough in age-defying skin care. This new technique treats skin damage non-invasively — there is no disruption of the skin's epidermal surface. IPL treatments address the effects of photo aging and sun damage with low risk of complications and no recovery time.
• Skin Care Products: A great skin care program begins with daily care.  All of the procedures listed above complement, not replace basic skin care.

Don't wait any longer to look as young as you feel.  Costs for these treatments are probably less than you would expect.  Call us today for an expert consultation (713) 522-4037.
