Skin Tyte^TM (broadband light SKIN Tightening)

SkinTyte^TM is a non-invasive treatment using broadband light to heat the dermal collagen deep within the skin to reduce laxity and tighten the tissue. At the same time, the outer layer of the skin is cooled in order for the treatment to be a comfortable experience. SkinTyte^TM reduces fine lines and wrinkles and also improves the appearance of sun-damaged skin and reduces redness. The most common areas to treat are the face, neck, abdomen and arms. For the best results, we recommend 3 to 5 SkinTyte^TM treatments. If you are looking for skin tightening with no discomfort and minimal downtime, then SkinTyte^TM is right for you.

Photofacial (Broadband Light Skin Rejuvenation)

Photofacial (BBL), also known as Photo Rejuvenation, is a non-invasive treatment used to safely improve the signs of aging and sun damage. Photo Rejuvenation (BBL) uses broadband light that is selectively absorbed by the targeted tissues with minimal effect on surrounding skin. This allows the precise treatment of fine wrinkles, age spots and sun spots, small facial veins, large pores, redness, rosacea and pigment inconsistencies. Photo Rejuvenation gently heats the upper layers of your skin in order to stimulate your skin cells to regenerate new collagen, restoring your skin and making it smoother, vibrant and younger looking. This photothermal energy also targets and eliminates many of the fine vessels that cause redness and the unwanted melanin that causes pigmented lesions.

Treatments can be performed most commonly on face, neck, chest and hands, but can be used for any body part. The treatments are very quick, with little discomfort, and in most cases you will be able to return to normal activities right away. You may experience some redness, which should subside within several hours. A series of treatments may be necessary for the best results, and should be spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. If you want to reduce the redness and brown spots associated with aging or sun damaged skin, then Photofacial (BBL) may be just what you are looking for.

MicroLaserPeel™ (Laser Skin Resurfacing)

If you are looking for more than a microdermabrasion or light chemical peel, then a MicroLaserPeel™ could be your answer. This treatment precisely removes the outermost layers of the skin and can be individually customized for the nature of the condition being corrected. Because it goes deeper into the epidermis, it is the perfect step in between microdermabrasion and full laser resurfacing for the person that does not have the time for a long healing process.

Reduce wrinkles, scars, acne scars, and pigmentation issues and improve skin texture with MicroLaserPeel™ treatments from The Joffrey Institute. This procedure only requires a topical anesthetic and healing time is between 3 and 4 days, depending upon the depth of the peel. This procedure is also referred to as a "Weekend Peel", because you have it on Thursday or Friday and be back to work on Monday. A series of treatments may be required depending upon your skin's condition and your desired result. It can also be combined with other treatments offered at The Joffrey Institute for enhanced rejuvenation.

ProFractional™ (Laser Skin Rejuvenation)

You may have heard of the term Fraxel® to improve the overall appearance of your skin. Fraxel® was the first fractional laser introduced to the aesthetic industry. The new ProFractional™ builds upon the success of that service with the use of newer technology that is more precise with faster healing time and requires fewer treatments.

ProFractional™ uses a tiny laser beam, called a microbeam, to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, leaving the surrounding area healthy and untreated. These untreated zones stimulate the body's natural healing process and the production of new collagen, smoothing out wrinkles, lines, scars and other imperfections. ProFractional™ is used to treat wrinkles and fine lines, acne scars, post-traumatic scars, age spots and sun spots, freckles, and aging and sun damaged skin. Most skin areas can be treated, with the most common being the face, neck, chest and hands. A series of treatments may be required for optimal results and each treatment takes about 15 to 30 minutes. Complete healing takes only 1 to 3 days, so downtime is minimal. Combining ProFractional™ with other treatments can enhance your results. Be sure to ask about ProFractional™ and see if it is right for you.

Laser Acne (Medical Grade Acne Skin Treatments)

Based on your specific condition, there are a variety of treatments that we offer to target acne problems. Photodynamic Therapy is one option that uses a medicated gel, activated by a low-intensity light. This treatment requires very little downtime, so you can expect about 1 to 3 days of recovery time. During the recovery period, limited exposure to the sun is recommended and a sunscreen will be required when outdoors. This option may require a series of treatments depending upon your skin's particular condition. We also utilize the ThermaScan™ Laser, Photo Rejuvenation (BBL) treatments and medical-grade skin care products to treat existing acne as well as reducing acne scars. We will evaluate your skin and design a custom treatment plan for you.

BOTOX® cosmetic (Cosmetic Injectables)

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical procedure that temporarily reduces forehead wrinkles, frown lines and crow's feet by relaxing the muscles that cause them. The lines that appear between the brows actually result from the movement of two muscles and the passage of time. As those muscles contract they draw the brows together causing the lines. With repeated contraction of the muscles and the skin's loss of elasticity over time, these lines can become moderate or even more severe. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein that is injected directly into the muscles and blocks the chemicals that cause them to contract, thereby relaxing them.

BOTOX® treatments can be performed in as little at 10 minutes and require no downtime. A cold pack is applied prior to the injections, thus requiring no anesthesia. You will be in and out in no time and the discomfort is minor and brief. The results will be seen in just a few days and will improve over the coming weeks. BOTOX® is a temporary solution for reducing your frown lines and crow's feet and will last 3 to 4 months. The results will vary depending on the number of units used and the area treated.

Come in and let us help you determine if BOTOX® Cosmetic is the best treatment for you. Don't wait for a younger looking you.

DERMAL FILLERS (Dermal and Wrinkle Fillers)
JuvÉderm®

JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel instantly restores volume by filling in facial wrinkles and folds, leaving you with younger looking skin. JUVÉDERM® is a gel made from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps hydrate and add volume. JUVÉDERM® is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler proven to be safe and effective for all skin types and colors. This treatment requires no downtime and the results are immediate and last up to a year.

Laser Hair Removal
Do you want to throw away your razor? You can have smooth skin without shaving, tweezing or waxing. Razor burn will be a thing of the past. The laser hair removal treatments at The Joffrey Institute will disable hundreds of hair follicles quickly and efficiently with little discomfort and minimal downtime.  We use the ClearScan^TM with an infrared laser that selectively targets micro-structures such as hair follicles and stopping the growth of the hair. In the past, laser hair removal was only effective on fair skin.  With the new ClearScan^TM technology, you can have amazing results no matter your skin tone or if you have sun-tanned skin.  Let us know if you have been using tanning products or if you have been exposed to the sun within the last three weeks, and we will adjust the treatments accordingly.  A series of treatments may be required in three to eight week intervals for your desired result.

Chemical Peels (Improve skin appearance & texture)

If you are looking to improve the look and feel of your skin, you can asked one of our Aestheticians about a Chemical Peel.  We have several different Peel options and can tailor one to meet your exact needs.

Pigment Balancing Peel

The pigment balancing peel is a customizable brightening treatment targeting hyperpigmentation to dramatically improve the uneven appearance of photodamaged/blotchy skin after a series of 4-6 treatments. The peel combines high performance brightening and anti-inflammatory agents with a peeling acid solution to accelerate cell renewal and diminish, diffuse, and localize hyperpigmentation.

Gel Peel
The gel peel treatment is designed to minimize the appearance of surface lines, smooth out rough skin texture, aid in clearing acne, and help fade hyperpigmentation. The acids in these peels remove dead cells from the surface without irritating the skin. Safe and effective, this in office treatment minimizes patient down time and is specifically developed for use with an at home pre and post treatment regimen. For maximum results 6 sessions are suggested, or in conjunction with other procedures or treatments to enhance.

Microdermabrasion (Medical skin exfoliation)
The Joffrey Institute uses the Multiderm^TM microdermabrasion machine. The Multiderm^TM is a true breakthrough in skin care. It goes beyond just a microderm. The Multiderm^TM can exfoliate your skin, while at the same time infuse topical moisturizers and anesthetics. This is also an excellent pre-treatment modality to be combined with laser skin treatments and photo rejuvenation packages.

• Exfoliation for better skin care results
• Infusion of topical moisturizers
• Pre-Treatment for laser treatments.

The entire treatment process can now be completed in as little as 11 minutes, as compared to 35 to 45 minutes with other, older machines.  The massage-like treatments provide for a much more pleasant experience.  The harsh, rough treatments are a thing of the past.

Water Lipo^TM (Water-jet assisted liposuction)

WaterLipo^TM Body Sculpting is a new revolution in liposuction technology that will literally wash away the fat. WaterLipo^TM provides amazing body sculpting results with less risk, less bruising and less swelling than traditional liposuction procedures. This is an in-office procedure that does not require general anesthesia and the recovery time is minimal. This liposuction alternative was featured on The Dr. Oz Show. Wash away the fat and reduce the inches with this new water-assisted lipo service. WaterLipo^TM Body Sculpting is an exclusive service of The Joffrey Institute.

How does WaterLipo work?

The fat is dislodged by using a gentle, pulsating spray of water without the need for brute force required in traditional liposuction procedures. The fat is loosened from the connective tissue by the fluid, allowing it to be removed evenly and effectively. There is minimal bruising and tissue trauma with this gentle procedure while still achieving exceptional body sculpting results.

How does WaterLipo compare to traditional liposuction?

Traditional liposuction is an aggressive procedure with large instruments. Due to size of the cannulas used and the trauma to the tissue, general anesthesia is required. Large quantities of fat can be removed very quickly, yet the results can be irregular with a lot of swelling and bruising. This requires a significant amount of recovery time.

WaterLipo^TM is a gentle water-assisted body sculpting procedure done in-office with smaller and more precise instruments without the need for general anesthesia. Achieve the body of your dreams with less risk, less downtime and a lower cost than traditional liposuction. Wash away the fat with WaterLipo^TM Body Sculpting.

Laser Lipolysis (Body Sculpting-laser liposuction)

Are you exercising and eating right, but still have trouble getting rid of love handles, saddle bags, etc.?  The Joffrey Institute now offers Laser Lipolysis featuring the latest technology, the ProLipo PLUS^TM from Sciton.  This advanced, laser assisted liposuction procedure is designed for patients that want finessed body sculpting in difficult to lose areas like the thighs, upper abdomen, belly, arms, chin, hips, and more. These are areas that are more difficult to get rid of with just diet and exercise and also difficult to get with traditional liposuction.  The fine instruments allow for more detailed body sculpting.

Laser Lipolysis not only melts the fat, allowing it to removed, but also tightens the skin to leave the patient with a slim, tighter and smoother result.

This can be used alone or in combination with WaterLipo^TM and UpLift^TM for more dramatic results.

Sclerotherapy

Spider veins are small red or blue blood vessels that appear at the skin's surface. They are commonly found on the legs but can also be found on the face or other areas of the body. Sclerotherapy involves a sclerosing solution that is injected directly into the blood vessel with a very fine needle, causing the vein to seal shut. The treated vein will collapse and fade from view. Depending on the size of the vein, several treatments may be needed several weeks or months apart. Sclerotherapy can be used on all skin types.

Laser Vein Treatment

If you want to safely and effectively remove unwanted spider veins, our Laser Vein Treatment may be your answer. Laser Vein Treatments are a fast, effective way to treat superficial small and medium sized spider veins. The laser uses a focused beam of light to selectively target the pigments of the blood to heat the unwanted vein. This seals off the vein, leaving the nearby skin tissue undamaged. The treated vein then dissolves and fade from view. We use the ClearScan^TM laser to precisely treat visible vessels, broken capillaries, spider veins and vascular lesions. Your treatment will be tailored to match your condition and desired results. The procedure may take a few minutes to half an hour depending on the size of the area being treated. There should be little to no discomfort, but this varies from patient to patient and depends on the depth of the treatment. There is no need for anesthesia. There is little risk associated with this treatment, although multiple treatments may be necessary depending on the desired results. Recovery time depends on your actual treatment but there is virtually no downtime and you may resume moderate activity immediately. You may experience some redness and you will need to avoid direct sun exposure unless using a sun block of at least SPF 15.
