Microdermabrasions and chemical peels are treatments used for skin resurfacing and to correct hyperpigmentation of the skin. They may leave your skin glowing and feeling smooth but getting too many treatments can thin your skin. Excessive thinning of your skin can cause hypersensitivity, photosensitivity, hyperpigmentation and generalized irritation of your skin. You only need enough treatments to correct your problem while stimulating your skin. For maintenance, a microdermabrasion treatment once or twice a year is more than enough. Keep in mind to alternate your microdermabrasion treatments with facials to maintain your facial hydration in between treatments.

Do you have excessive sweating or do you suffer from migraines? Botox injections have been used to treat these frustrating disorders. For excessive sweating under the arms, a series of Botox injections are placed in the axilla right underneath the skin. The Botox will reduce the sweat production and this may last in between 6-9 months. For migraines, a series of injections are placed on the face and scalp right over several migraine trigger points. This will help minimize the frequency and duration of migraine headaches. Please check out the wealth of information on our site by clicking here.
