The Women's Place performs in 3 different types of chemical peels. The most basic is the superficial, then we have a medium and a deep peel. Deep peels produce the most dramatic results. This peel is recommended for treating wrinkles, scars and blemishes and in some cases, precancerous skin lesions.
A deep peel targets the dermis. In some cases, anesthesia is required during the procedure to reduce the warm to hot stinging sensation. There is little or no discomfort following the peel. After a deep peel, the area is swollen and red and can result in some swelling and blistering. A crust may form and the skin will turn brown just prior to peeling. Many layers of the skin will peel over a period of one to two weeks. An ointment may be given to keep the area moist. The new skin will have the color and sensation of significant sunburn, which will gradually fade to your normal skin color.

Dermal Filler injections are given to patients who wish to "fill in" lines and creases that appear on the face. This is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic procedures. As we age, our collagen layer depletes and the overlying skin creases and folds. By replacing the collagen, especially in deeper lines and the nasal labial folds. Fillers correct frown lines, scars, crow's feet, forehead lines and smoker's lines around the mouth. Dermal Fillers are also used for enhancing lips.
How long does it last?
The effects last up to twelve months, and the treatment is easily repeated.
Who are candidates for treatment?
If you have lines or creases on your face or wish to have fuller lips, you are more than likely a candidate. You must have a skin test prior to treatment to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for the procedure.

"My VASER Lipo treatment was so much better than I thought it could be! Following my 2:00 pm surgery on multiple sites, I was able to attend my chemistry class that evening, then went home and did the laundry! I kept waiting for the pain, but it didn't come — I didn't have to take any pain medication, and noticed very little bruising. I love it!"
– Khang (CA)
"My overall results are amazing! I love having a flat stomach, thinner thighs and a more sculpted chin and neck. If I had to do it all over again, I would without hesitation."
– Alicia (CO)
"I never liked my neck. It went from the tip of my chin straight down to my collar bone — like a turkey's neck. In every picture, I appeared to have a double or triple chin. I decided to have the procedure done to not only look better, but to feel better. I had little pain and minimal discomfort following the procedure, and I am thrilled with the results! I look and feel 10 years younger, and my friends and family agree. The change is dramatic, yet subtle. I feel wonderful!"

Juvéderm®
Hylaform PicJuvéderm® gel is a sterile, clear, colorless dermal (skin) filler gel implant made of chemically modified hyaluronic acid derived from avian (bird) source. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the fluids surrounding cells and tissues. It is chemically, physically and biologically similar in the tissues of all species. Juvéderm® gel is made from highly purified natural hyaluronic acid that is gradually absorbed by your body through natural mechanisms.
What is Juvéderm® gel used for?
The gel is injected into skin tissue for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds).
Where does Juvéderm® gel come from?
The gel is produced from materials of avian (bird) origin and contains extremely small amounts of avian protein. Because of this, you should speak to your physician and you should not use Juvéderm® gel if you have any known allergies to avian protein.
How does Juvéderm® gel work?
Juvéderm® gel is injected just beneath the skin surface temporarily adding volume to the layers of the skin that have deteriorated due to age and other factors. The gel, when injected, is used to raise depressions in the skin, providing temporary correction of wrinkles and folds.

Serdev Suture Suspension
What is the Serdev Suture Suspension Technique?
This technique is used to lift loose skin or flabby soft tissue for areas of the face, breasts, and buttocks. Traditional lifts require the surgeon to make large incisions, but with the Serdev Technique small incisions are made and using long internal sutures enables the surgeon to contour and shape the face and body without resorting to invasive and complex surgery.
The Serdev Technique lifts the deep moveable tissue beneath the skin by anchoring it to non-moveable fibrous tissue resulting in a more natural and youthful appearance. The Serdev Technique is ideal for lifting the face, chin, eyebrow, buttocks and breasts. The Serdev Technique is much better than typical forms of suture suspension, which are more superficial and do not last as long. The “Curl Lift", "Life Style Lift ", "Contour Thread Lift", and "Feather Lift" are names for these superficial forms of suture suspension. However, these procedures do not last as long as lifts done using The Serdev Technique.

Botox
What is treatment like and what results will I see?
BOTOX® is precisely injected, using a very fine needle, into the specific muscle that is contracting. Treatment is effective, safe, and takes approximately 10 minutes. The pain is a minimal "pin prick" and no anesthetic is required. Immediately following treatment, you may resume regular activities!
Usually, the effect of BOTOX® is visible within 3 days. Maximum benefits are reached between 10 to 14 days. Once the muscle relaxes and the skin softens, you will have a more relaxed and youthful appearance. The effects of BOTOX® usually last 3 to 4 months. You will notice a gradual fading of its effects. After several treatments, the effects of BOTOX® may last 6 to 8 months.
The ideal look may be achieved by BOTOX® injections in conjunction with microdermabrasion treatments or laser skin rejuvenation.

LASER VEIN TREATMENT
Today, lasers are safely used for a wide variety of cosmetic non- invasive treatments. This exciting treatment with the Syneron Laser is extremely safe and effective on leg veins, as well as veins visible on the face, neck, and chest - just about anywhere! Laser Therapy also treats benign pigmented lesions such as age spots, birthmarks, and tattoos. These non-invasive treatments are increasingly popular because there are very few side effects, and you can resume your regular activities immediately following treatment! Which type of veins can the Syneron Laser treat? The Syneron Laser treats many types of leg veins, including shallow spider veins and reticular veins.
Spider Veins are very small veins caused by a dilation of the small venules under the skin. This occurs when the pressure inside the vein increases enough to overcome normal resistance of the vein wall. The ability of veins to resist increased pressure is reduced in women when the body's estrogen level is reduced.
Reticular Veins are small, bluish-colored veins that carry blood to the skin venules and, therefore, are larger. These veins have thin walls and dilate with excessive venous pressure. When this occurs, they become large enough to be unsightly, but are not considered to be varicose veins.

What kinds of chemical peels are there?
Superficial Peel
This peel is designed to help smooth rough, dry skin, improve the texture of sun-damaged skin, and even out skin tone. The recovery is generally rapid, and usually consists of minor flaking. A series of treatments is generally recommended to obtain the desired result over a period of time. Typically there is no down time and with appropriate sun protection, you can resume regular activities immediately.
Medium Peel
Medium peels often contain higher levels or strong acids. The best candidate for a medium peel is an individual with fair skin. Medium Peels target the epidermis and upper dermis and cause the skin to slough within 5 to 7 days. Immediately after treatment the skin has a red appearance and is occasionally accompanied by swelling. Within a day, the skin turns brown in color and after 3 or 4 days, the skin begins the peeling process.
Deep Peels
Deep peels produce the most dramatic results. This peel is recommended for treating wrinkles, scars and blemishes and in some cases, precancerous skin lesions. A deep peel targets the dermis. In some cases, anesthesia is required during the procedure to reduce the warm to hot stinging sensation. There is little or no discomfort following the peel. After a deep peel, the area is swollen and red and can result in some swelling and blistering. A crust may form and the skin will turn brown just prior to peeling. Many layers of the skin will peel over a period of one to two weeks. An ointment may be given to keep the area moist. The new skin will have the color and sensation of significant sunburn, which will gradually fade to your normal skin color.

LipoSelection®
VASER LipoSelection® is a minimally invasive procedure that precisely and efficiently removes unwanted body fat while promoting smooth results and rapid healing.
Why is it different?
The LipoSelection procedure uses ultrasound energy to break up and remove fat deposits from the body. Fatty tissue contains a large percentage of fat cells as well as blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue. Ultrasound energy selectively breaks up and emulsifies fat, while leaving other tissue relatively intact. LipoSelection typically results in low to minimal pain and low incidences of bruising or prolonged swelling.*
LipoSelection by VASER is both efficient and precise. In fact, ultrasound energy is so precise and specific that the technology has been used to remove brain tumors and cataracts.

What is Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing"?
The MiXto fractional CO2 laser procedure is performed in a single treatment with minimal patient downtime. During the procedure, a high-energy beam of laser light is used to smooth lines, wrinkles, and scars, remove darkened spots, and other irregularities, and tighten the skin. It also stimulates formation of new underlying collagen to continue improvement over time. With fractional laser treatments, only a fraction of the skin's surface is treated by the laser, leaving small "bridges" of untouched healthy skin. This technique makes the healing process much faster and enables you to get back to normal activities sooner.
Dr. Connelly performs the procedure in our office with a topical anesthetic cream. There is little pain associated with this procedure. Most patients say that it is similar to sunburn. With a gentle washing and moisturizing regimen, your photo treated skin will begin to flake and reform within 3 to 4 days. After 5 days most patients are able to wear makeup. After 7 days the skin returns to normal.
Our procedure involves placing patients on a mild, prophylactic antiviral starting the day of treatment. You may also be given mild pain medications, as well as some "anti itching" and swelling agents. Most patients enjoy 2 days at home, lubricating their skin and resting comfortably.
Please call for your complimentary consultation.

Treat wrinkles and soften your appearance with Botox
After years of squinting, laughing, frowning, smoking, worrying, and sun exposure, your skin inevitably develops lines and wrinkles. Some of these lines are "expression lines." Other lines and wrinkles are from aging and sun damage. Until now, expression lines have been difficult to treat. Now, by utilizing an already approved muscle-relaxing agent, expression lines can be significantly reduced. Depending on the type of lines and wrinkles you have, you can choose from several options to correct the desired area. Botox and Dermal Fillers are two methods we use to treat wrinkles and soften your appearance.
What is BOTOX® and how does it work?
BOTOX® is a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent derived from the bacterium, Clostridium Botulinum. For years physicians have been using BOTOX® as a cosmetic treatment to correct visible signs of stress and aging.
Your brain sends messages to your muscles so that they can contract and move. BOTOX® works to block the muscle from responding to the message; as a result, the muscle relaxes and the overlying skin remains unwrinkled and smooth.

Needing Volume To Your Skin? Try Juvéderm®
Juvéderm® gel is a sterile, clear, colorless dermal (skin) filler gel implant made of chemically modified hyaluronic acid derived from avian (bird) source. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the fluids surrounding cells and tissues. It is chemically, physically and biologically similar in the tissues of all species. Juvéderm® gel is made from highly purified natural hyaluronic acid that is gradually absorbed by your body through natural mechanisms.
What is Juvéderm® gel used for?
The gel is injected into skin tissue for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds).
Where does Juvéderm® gel come from?
The gel is produced from materials of avian (bird) origin and contains extremely small amounts of avian protein. Because of this, you should speak to your physician and you should not use Juvéderm® gel if you have any known allergies to avian protein.
How does Juvéderm® gel work?
Juvéderm® gel is injected just beneath the skin surface temporarily adding volume to the layers of the skin that have deteriorated due to age and other factors. The gel, when injected, is used to raise depressions in the skin, providing temporary correction of wrinkles and folds.

Expression Lines
We, espically us ladies, are emotional creatures. After years of squinting, laughing, frowning, smoking, worrying, and sun exposure, our skin inevitably develops lines and wrinkles.
Some of these lines are "expression lines." Other lines and wrinkles are from aging and sun damage. Until now, expression lines have been difficult to treat. Now, by utilizing an already approved muscle-relaxing agent, expression lines can be significantly reduced. Depending on the type of lines and wrinkles you have, you can choose from several options to correct the desired area. Botox and Dermal Fillers are two methods we use to treat wrinkles and soften your appearance.
BOTOX® is a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent derived from the bacterium, Clostridium Botulinum. For years physicians have been using BOTOX® as a cosmetic treatment to correct visible signs of stress and aging.
Your brain sends messages to your muscles so that they can contract and move. BOTOX® works to block the muscle from responding to the message; as a result, the muscle relaxes and the overlying skin remains unwrinkled and smooth.
This could be an option for you!

As we age, our collagen layer depletes and the overlying skin creases and folds. By replacing the collagen, especially in deeper lines and the nasal labial folds. Fillers correct frown lines, scars, crow's feet, forehead lines and smoker's lines around the mouth. Dermal Fillers are also used for enhancing lips.
