At Cosmetic Procedures Clinic you will get full strength Botox with lasting results. The injections are also done by an experienced medical doctor, not an esthetician. For smile lines we recommend Radiesse wrinkle filler. Radiesse wrinkle filler stimulates the body to produce its own natural collagen to restore fullness and smooth out the signs of aging. In many patients the
results may last a year or more. Radiesse works best on Nasolabial folds, Marionette lines, Oral Commissures, and Pre-jowl area. There are several options when it comes to lip lines. Profractional is one of the options. Profractional is the latest & most advanced laser procedure that dramatically improves lines and wrinkles and stimulates the production of collagen. Or Juvederm which can be used to smooth wrinkles and plump up lips. For dark spots there are several treatments that can be used. Laser peel which removes the top layers, or we carry pigment gel used to lighten the spots. For sagging skin the clinic offers the following procedure;
Skin Tyte - is an advanced procedure which utilizes light energy to deeply heat dermal collagen. The heat creates renewed collagen foundation leading to increased skin firmness. No down time.

Well it's almost October and now is the best time to get your skin in shape for the holidays. You might be asking yourself why should I spend so much time and effort taking care of myself and my skin? There are so many reasons. For one it builds self-confidence. You are investing in yourself. You never know who you might meet or what opportunities that might come your way each and every day. If you look and feel your best, those chance meetings won't pass you by.
When our clients come in for a free consultation I hand them a mirror and ask them what is their main concern? What is it about their face that they would like to address. In most cases it's one of the following: forehead lines, crow's feet, lip lines, smile lines, sagging skin, and age spots.
Dr. Long can eliminate all these skin problems. First let's talk about injectables & fillers.
Botox is FDA approved and works best on frown lines and brow furrows. Botox is used on the top part of the face. The muscle relaxing effect when done properly can last up to 6 months.
Botox also works great on crow's feet. It can work wonders and people look younger almost instantly! In some case, it can take up to 5 days to really see the difference if the lines are very deep and it's the first time the person has gotten Botox. To be continued . . .

The Right Way To Cleanse The Face
Today I would like to talk about cleansers. Our clinic recommends Elta face wash or Cetaphil because they are very gentle and don't dry out the skin. Avoid bar soaps they do dry out the skin and should only be used from the neck down. A creamy cleanser is best if you have dry skin or a cleanser without oil if you have oily skin. We recommend washing the face only twice a day.
Once in the morning and once at night. The best way to wash your face is to use warm water with a small amount of cleanser and rinse with cool water. Never wash your face with hot or cold water because it can cause broken capillaries. Did you know that our skin is the bodies largest organ and usually weighs 8-9 pounds. Did you know that the skin can be attacked by up to 200 free radicals every hour! The skin cells are replaced constantly and by the time they get to the surface layers they are already dead. With our perscripton products cell turnover can be increased even faster to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
At Cosmetic Procedures Clinic a lot of women tell us no one has ever told them how to cleanse their face. It sounds simple enough but there really is a right and a wrong way.

Today I would like to share some of my skin care secrets.
First of all no one is ever too young to start taking care of their skin. We have clients who come into the clinic and they are in their 20's and already have wrinkles on their face. And yet a woman in her 40's might come in with less wrinkles and younger looking skin. You might be asking yourself why is that? Well the younger client tans, and is not making a conscious effort to protect her skin. Where as the older woman is spending time everyday, making an effort to keep
her skin looking young and fresh.
The sun is a big ager of skin. Did you know one in five Americans get skin cancer. So daily sunscreen with zinc oxide is a must. Zinc oxide is the only Single Ingredient that uniformly blocks both UVB and UVA rays that have been implicated in both photoaging and photocarcinogenesis.
If you want to see how the sun has damaged your skin take a look at your arm. The front side is darker and has more wrinkles. If you turn your arm over the skin will be lighter, with less wrinkles, firmer and smoother. The skin on the under side has less sun damage.
Please check back for my tips tomorrow. If you read my blog I promise you I will show you the
way to look younger and more youthful. You will love your skin again, I promise!
