										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What is EVOLENCE®?</h2>
<p>EVOLENCE® dermal filler represents a breakthrough in treating the effects of aging by replacing the collagen you&#8217;ve lost with collagen that lasts. A truly novel dermal filler, EVOLENCE® can immediately improve and refresh your appearance by smoothing out and softening unwanted wrinkles and folds, and restoring structure and facial contour in volume-depleted areas. The visible, natural-looking results are achieved immediately, with minimal-to-no downtime, so you can get right back to your daily activities. These immediate results last for at least 6 months (and 50% in one year), so you can avoid the costly repeat treatments often associated with other fillers and your desired results may be achieved in just 1 visit. Remember results may vary. *</p>
<h2>Why is collagen so important for achieving a refreshed, youthful apperance?</h2>
<p>Collagen is nature&#8217;s most fundamental and abundant building block. In fact, collagen makes up 70% to 80% of the skin&#8217;s dermis, providing structure, strength, and support. Collagen depletes naturally over time as we age, leading to a tired or aged appearance. This happens through the formation of new wrinkles and folds, and changes in facial contour and structure. The natural pace of collagen loss can be accelerated by such factors as sun exposure, genetics, hormonal changes, and smoking. By replacing lost collagen with an advanced collagen compound, EVOLENCE® dermal filler can help enhance and maintain the structure, volume, and naturally younger-looking appearance of your skin.</p>
<h2>What makes EVOLENCE® different?</h2>
<p>EVOLENCE® dermal filler is made of natural collagen, one of the most prevalent materials in your body. The advanced collagen in EVOLENCE® has been naturally cross-linked, so it mimics the 3-dimensional structure of your skin&#8217;s own collagen. This allows it to integrate beautifully and support your skin&#8217;s own existing collagen network by adding structure, strength, and volume for a natural look and feel that last. The unique collagen of EVOLENCE®:</p>
<ul>
<li> Achieves immediate, natural-looking results, so you can walk out of your aesthetic professional&#8217;s office looking beautifully refreshed *</li>
<li>Causes minimal-to-no swelling or bruising, so you can get right back to daily activities *</li>
<li>Does not require a skin pre-test, so you can get results in 1 visit</li>
</ul>
<p>Although new to the US, EVOLENCE® has been used extensively in Canada, Europe, and Israel for several years.</p>
<h2>Where is EVOLENCE® used?</h2>
<p>EVOLENCE® is recommended for the correction of moderate-to-deep facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, the ones that appear from your nose to the corners of your mouth (&#8220;smile lines&#8221;).</p>
<h2>Is EVOLENCE® right for me?</h2>
<p>Dr Gregory Turowski and the team of physicians at new Horizons will help you determine the best treatment approach for achieving your desired results. Together, you may decide EVOLENCE® dermal filler is right for you if you are seeking a refreshed and naturally younger-looking you. The visible results are immediate—with minimal-to-no downtime post-treatment. *</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Restylane &#8211; A natural beauty lift</p>
<p>Impressions of beauty change with time &#8211; as do our faces as we age. With RESTYLANE, you can have a natural beauty lift with the body&#8217;s own material. RESTYLANE is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance, called hyaluronic acid. The gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The result is instantaneous and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement, gentle and safe to your skin.</p>
<p>Since it was launched in 1996, RESTYLANE has undergone extensive histological and clinical studies with an increasing body of evidence relating to its ease of use, tolerability and effectiveness. Today, more than 1,500,000 treatments have been successfully carried out worldwide.</p>
<p>Restylane is a clear gel plant extract containing hyaluronic acid that is used to fill facial wrinkles, scars and enhance lips. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally occurring in our body that traps water in the skin. As we age the skin produces less of the acid along with diminished production of collagen and elastin. This results in loss of volume, sagging skin and wrinkles. Restylane can help to temporarily diminish appearance of wrinkles by replenishing the lost volume. *</p>

<p>*Individual results may vary and there are no guarantees that you will experience the same results as those mentioned here.</p>
<h2>How the procedure is performed?</h2>
<p>Restylane is injected using a fine needle. It is injected directly under the wrinkle or scar. In case of lips, lips and immediate lip area are injected.  Topical or local anesthetic can be used to numb the area.  The procedure takes about 15-30 minutes and does not require any recovery time.  Mild stinging is common but usually well tolerated.  Redness and mild swelling, if any, can usually disappears in 24 hours. Makeup can be applied immediately after the procedure.</p>
<h2>How long the Restylane lasts?</h2>
<p>Once injected, Restylane integrates within the skin and attracts water. The results are immediate. With time the filler is reabsorbed without a trace.  Depending on an individual the results may last from 6-8 months.  Further injections or additions of the product can be performed at any time without additional risk.</p>
<h2>What are possible side effects of the Restylane injections?</h2>
<p>Side effects may include bruising, redness and pain at the injection site. Swelling that lasts up two few days may occur after injection of Restylane into the lips. Since Restylane contains naturally occurring skin substance, hypersensitivity to the product is rare.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Thermage procedure is the only FDA approved non-invasive treatment that delivers tighter skin, renewed facial contours and healthier collagen. This is very important since collagen is the building block that provides structure to the skin.</p>
<p>The Thermage procedure employs a patented radiofrequency (RF) technology called ThermaCool. It has been clinically proven to tighten and gently lift skin to smooth out wrinkles and renew facial contours. This non-surgical procedure is fast and easy and requires no downtime from normal activities. Unlike lasers, the procedure can be performed on patients of all skin types. The ThermaCool device has been cleared by the FDA for the non-invasive treatment of facial wrinkles and rhytids.</p>

<h2>Thermage FAQ</h2>
<h3>How does it work?</h3>
<p>The ThermaCool system uses a sophisticated treatment tip called ThermaTip, which delivers a controlled amount of RF energy. With each touch to the skin, the ThermaTip device uniformly heats a large volume of collagen in the deeper layers of the skin and its underlying tissue, while simultaneously protecting the outer layer of the skin with cooling. This deep uniform heating action causes deep structures in your skin to immediately tighten. Over time, new and remodeled collagen is produced to further tighten skin, resulting in healthier, smoother skin and a more youthful appearance. *</p>
<h3>What does the Thermage procedure feel like?</h3>
<p>With each touch of the ThermaTip device, you will experience a brief, deep heating sensation as the RF energy is delivered to your skin and underlying tissue. This deep heating sensation is your indication that your collagen is reaching effective temperatures for tightening. The operator controls the amount of energy delivered to balance procedural comfort with maximum results. The ThermaTip device is cooled before, during, and after heating to protect your skin and make the treatment more comfortable. Prior to treatment, an anesthetic cream may be applied to enhance your comfort. Additionally, dr. Turowski may also prescribe relaxants and/or pain medication.</p>
<h3>How long does it take?</h3>
<p>The Thermage procedure can take anywhere from an hour to three hours, depending on the size of the treatment area. Additional time may be required for skin preparation prior to the procedure.</p>
<h3>What will my skin feel like after the procedure?</h3>
<p>Immediately following a Thermage procedure, your skin should feel tighter, smoother and more youthful. Over time, you will notice additional tightening. *</p>
<h3>How many treatments will I need?</h3>
<p>Unlike many laser procedures requiring four or more sessions, a single Thermage treatment has produced results in the majority of patients. Dr Turowski will determine the course of treatment that is right for you.</p>
<h3>When will I see results?</h3>
<p>Recently published studies, conducted by, Thermage show that measurable tightening improvements appear gradually over 2 to 6 months after a single treatment session. However, many patients have reported seeing an earlier response.</p>
<h3>How long will the effects of the Thermage procedure last?</h3>
<p>The Thermage procedure causes immediate tightening of the collagen structure, with additional tightening over time. Unpublished reports by experienced cosmetic physicians indicate that results may last 24 months or longer based on the patient&#8217;s natural aging process.</p>
<h3>Is the Thermage procedure safe?</h3>
<p>The Thermage procedure has an excellent safety record. With over 175,000 estimated worldwide patient treatments to date, the reported incidence of side effects is less than 0.4%. The most frequently reported incidents are classified as swelling, redness, bumps and blisters on or around the treated area. These side effects have usually disappeared in a few days. Consult with dr Turowski regarding this and any other questions you may have on the safety record of the Thermage procedure.</p>
<h3>How long before I can return to my normal activities?</h3>
<p>Most people return to their regular activities immediately following the Thermage procedure. Some people experience mild redness similar to a sunburn, but it usually disappears quickly. No special care is needed after treatment unless otherwise instructed by dr Turowski.</p>
