Image is Everything: Three Aesthetic Treatments for Building Confidence and Looking and Feeling Your Best

Epione — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 12:30:31 +0000

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – For many people, excessive sweating, excessive hair and acne scars can lead to decreased confidence and poor self-image, which can greatly impact their ability to achieve success and happiness in a number of areas of their lives. Epione Medical Corporation, a state-of-the-art laser and aesthetic surgery center now offers leading edge treatments for all three issues. Clients that receive treatments for acne scar removal, laser hair removal and Botox® injections for excessive sweating may experience an instant boost of confidence and renewed motivation to achieve, excel and claim true happiness.

“Our goal is to help our clients look and feel not only beautiful, but empowered,” said Dr. Simon Ourian, medical director. “Image is a combination of both physical appearance and being able to project a true sense of confidence. When you don’t look or feel your best, it’s almost impossible to be confident, and it can be difficult to compete in today’s increasingly competitive world.”

Millions of people suffer from excessive sweating, also known as Hyperhidrosis, causing them to feel self-conscious and embarrassed among their peers and colleagues. BOTOX® is used by Epione to treat excessive sweating. The physician uses a small needle to inject BOTOX® superficially under the skin. The treatment blocks the nerve impulse from reaching the area, inactivating the sweat glands. Clients typically see results within five to 10 days. Multiple treatments may be required.

Epione Empowers Clients for Personal and Career Success with Leading Edge Treatments for Excessive Sweating, Excessive Hair and Acne Scars

For men and women who deal with excessive hair, the condition can impact their confidence, their clothing choices and their comfortability with their bodies. Additionally, the constant need to shave and wax to remove excess hair can be a daily annoyance. Epione has performed thousands of laser hair removal procedures, using the most cutting edge lasers available. During the procedure, the laser emits a focused beam of light, which is absorbed through the pigment of the hair follicle. The light disables the follicle, offering what is often a more permanent alternative to other hair removal methods.

When pursuing success in love or the job market, everyone wants to be able to put his or her best face forward. Acne scars not only damage the skin, but also self-confidence and self-image. Epione Medical Corporation often treats acne scars with Coolaser™ acne scar removal, a treatment that resurfaces the skin to create a smoother, more even skin tone. During the treatment, the face is numbed using a topical cream. The physician then uses a beam of light to remove the outermost layer of the skin. The number of treatments needed is based on the severity of the scarring and recovery time will vary. The laser acne scar removal procedure can also be performed on the body.

“Aesthetic treatments that remedy excessive sweating, excessive hair and acne scars help to level the playing field and help men and women feel good about themselves so that they can stop focusing on their flaws, and start focusing on the things that matter most,” said Dr. Ourian. “If you have a condition that you feel is holding you back, stop feeling complacent or defeated. Come in today and let’s talk about what we can do to help you feel great about yourself so that you can successfully go after the life you truly deserve.”

Get Rid of those Dark Winter Circles for Spring!

Epione — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 01:26:01 +0000

Every time you turn on the television and watch a campy cosmetic infomercial or walk through the horrid cosmetic section of a department store, you are told by make-up artists what to use to hide dark circles under your eyes.

Many factors can cause the appearance of dark circles, but only a few treatments can change the appearance to a healthier and more positive look. These include: food allergies, particularly dairy products, kidney disorders, cardiovascular insufficiencies, toxicity and, of course, the aging process. Aging can cause the thinning of the skin around the eyes and loss of “fat padding” in the face, both of which can result in dark circles.

The combination of fillers and a fine laser which is used to fragment and destroy the pigments in the darker areas of the skin result in a more youthful, less tired appearance. The procedure takes approximately 20 minutes and may heal within a few days. Look your best for all your relatives during that Thanksgiving Dinner!

Botox Costmetic and Fillers

Sometimes the use of Botox Cosmetic and fillers accompany a Coolaser or other laser treatment to do a complete makeover on your face.

What is the difference between Botox Cosmetic and fillers?

Frown lines are caused by overactive facial muscles. Fillers correct the wrinkle by adding volume around the muscle with intradermal injections. Botox Cosmetic is intramuscular, blocking the chemicals that cause facial muscles to contract, thereby relaxing them. While there are many options available for fillers, Botox Cosmetic is the only product of its kind that affects the muscles that cause wrinkles between the brows, the forehead and the lines at the side of the eyes called crow’s feet.

Botox can last up to four months.

FILLERS

PERLANE, the Latest filler from Europe

Perlane, part of the Restylane family, was approved by the FDA in May 2007 and has just come on the market. At Epione, we are pleased to be among the first offices to make Perlane available to its patients. The difference between Restylane and Perlane is the hyaluronic acid gel particles in Perlane are larger than those found in Restylane. This means that you will get even better contouring and added volume for those deeper facial wrinkles and folds and lips. Perlane treatments should last about six months.

RADIESSE

Radiesse is made of smooth, calcium-based microspheres suspended in a natural gel. The product works to stimulate your body?��Ǩ�Ѣs own collagen production for a soft, natural look. After a short series of treatments, Radiesse has shown to last between 3 and 5 years, giving it a serious edge over other fillers, which usually fade after 6-9 months.

JUVEDERM

Juvederm is a new hyaluronic acid gel. Hyaluronic acids play an important role in the way your skin feels and functions. As you age, your skin tissue becomes dehydrated and the collagen and elastin fibers lose their structure. Hyaluronic acid gels, like Juvederm, can help to temporarily replace the lost hyaluronic acid and restore your skins volume and smooth, natural appearance. It lasts about six months.
