Q the Medical Spa! 1. Injectables (Botox, collagen, and Hylaform) to temporarily reduce, and often eliminate wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are caused by contractions of the delicate underlying facial muscles every time you smile, laugh and frown. Over time, these emotions form deeper lines and wrinkles. While patients may have earned every one of their expression lines, they don't have to show them anymore. Patients choose from: BOTOX is a simple and safe procedure where a very small amount of product is injected precisely into targeted locations on the face, blocking the nerve impulse to the muscle under the skin in the treated area. Hylaform is a new FDA-approved dermal (skin) filler made from a highly purified form of hyaluronic acid that mimics the effects of natural hyaluronic acid. When injected below the surface of the skin, Hylaform adds volume to the skin, smoothing unwanted lines and wrinkles. Just think, in less than an hour, patients can say goodbye to unwanted lines and wrinkles like the smile lines that appear between the nose and mouth, or the marionette lines that turn down the corners of your mouth Collagen Replacement Therapy this treatment replenishes the skin's collagen layer, smoothing lines and wrinkles, plumping up lips and adding definition to lip borders Restylane is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and folds. Results are immediate and generally last three to six months. Commonly treated areas include smile lines, vertical lip lines, and shallow acne scars. 2. Laser Hair Removal is used to permanently reduce unwanted hair in all areas of the face and body.Lasers have been used for many years for a variety of medical cosmetic procedures including treatment of facial and leg veins, age spots and rejuvenating the skin on the face. The GentleLASE System, a revolutionary long-pulse high energy alexandrite laser emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle where it is absorbed. The laser energy is transformed into heat, which destroys the hair follicle leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. The skin is further protected during treatment by a Dynamic Cooling Device where cryogen is sprayed onto the skin cooling the upper layers and providing patients with increased comfort. The GentleLASE selectivity helps to protect the skin, while effectively treating the unwanted hair. Restoring color to the skin 3. Corrective Skin Care treatments, including light chemical peels and/or microdermabrasion, to address aging skin, pigmentary changes (sun damage, brown spots, etc.) and mild acne. The esthetic team At Q the Medical Spa always starts each corrective skin Care Treatment session with a thorough skin analysis with the licensed estheticians. Together with the patient they outline the ideal peel program. This can include a combination of sessions including glycolic, lactic and TCA peels, sensitive skin correction, the famous Obagi Blue Peel, oxygenating facials or detox treatments. Q the Medical Spa uses a crystal-less microder-mabrasion system that gently removes the outer most layer of skin leaving it supple and vibrant. New Apeel/Diamondtone removes this layer of skin by polishing it with a diamond cut wand and vacuuming the dead skin in a controlled manner. Removing the dead skin leaves a smoother surface and promotes new cell growth. This treatment is concluded with the application of a soothing mask. Face, neck, décolletage, or hands may be treated. 4. Photorejuvenation to improve skin tone, eliminate blotchiness and discoloration, and address surface capillaries. Intense Pulsed Light technology is a treatment breakthrough that will correct/improve a variety of skin conditions, such as rosacea, broken capillaries, unsightly veins, reddened scars and photoaging due to sun damage. The approach is gradual, with noticeable results achieved over several treatment sessions. Photorejuvenation is a safe, non-invasive solution that is tailored to the patients skin condition and skin type, providing superior cosmetic results. There is virtually no recovery period needed. Receiving treatment can be compared to the sensation of a small rubber band gently snapping against the skin. Photorejuvenation effectively eliminates signs of aging by restoring an even hue/color to the skin, dramatically improving the overall appearance.
Q the medical Spa at lindsay house A Beautiful piece of history The Lindsay House is a Victorian and Gothic mansion that was built in 1878 when elegance and civility ruled the day. This historic building is now home to the Lindsay House Center for Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery that includes four Centers of Excellence: Q the Medical Spa at Lindsay House; Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery; Lindsay House Surgery Center and Hair Restoration Institute. Patients are not the only thing to undergo reconstruction. Dr. Quatela performed a complete historical restoration on the House and Gardens. In order to maintain the integrity of the grounds the entire gardens had to be transplanted to a nursery during construction. After completion the design team had to reconstruct the original 1800s traditional English garden. |
