BOTOX™:     America's most popular cosmetic treatment is a simple, non-surgical procedure that smooths away frown lines, horizontal forehead lines and the fine "crows feet" around the eyes etched by smiling.  Botox relaxes the muscles that cause those lines to form.
What exactly is BOTOX™?     BOTOX™ is a natural, purified protein of Botulinum Toxin A, which in very low doses relaxes the overactive muscles that cause lines to form.
Is it safe?     Yes.  BOTOX™ is not an experimental drug.  It has been used for decades to relieve eye spasms and crossed-eyes and is now an FDA-approved cosmetic treatment for frown lines.
Where does the BOTOX go?     It does not travel throughout the body and generally remains only in the treated muscle gradually disappearing.
How long does it last?     Results may last anywhere from 3-4 months.  Although repeat injections are necessary to maintain optimal results, there is some evidence that results become progressively long-lived.
How will it improve my appearance?     You may expect an improvement in the appearance of the lines, which will result in a more youthful, relaxed and refreshed look.
What can I expect during a BOTOX™ treatment?     Treatment is a simple 10-minute procedure consisting of a few tiny injections, administered into the overly-dynamic muscles, using a very thin needle.  No anesthesia is required.  Discomfort is minimal and brief.  Most people return to work or normal activities immediately.  Within 2-7 days you will see a marked improvement, which may continue to improve for a long as 2 weeks.
Is BOTOX™ right for you?     If doing all you can to look your best is important to you, BOTOX™ may be for you.  Younger patients and patients with fewer wrinkles have the added benefit of preventing further etching of the skin caused by repeated squinting, smiling, frowning and creasing to the forehead.  Patients who have had a face lift or laser resurfacing also benefit by preventing repeated wrinkling of newly treated skin.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL:     Imagine never shaving, waxing, plucking or applying messy creams again!  Sound like a dream?  It's now a reality you can enjoy, thanks to the FDA approved LightSheer™ Diode Laser Hair Removal System.
Which Laser works the best?     We have chosen the LightSheer™ system, the world's most advanced treatment for effective removal of unwanted hair.  LightSheer™ is the recognized Gold Standard Worldwide for laser hair removal, providing safe, quick, and dramatic removal of unwanted hair on all skin types, including ethnic and dark-skinned individuals.  Say goodbye to messy creams and temporary solutions to a never-ending battle!  Patients can resume regular activates immediately following treatment.  It's that easy!
What areas can be treated?     The most popular areas treated are the face (chin and upper lip), neck, underarms, bikini, chest back, peri-areolar area and legs.
Is it really permanent?     Yes.  Staff expertise and training is the critical difference between getting permanent results rather than just slowing the hair growing process.  We customize each individual treatment and guarantee permanent results!  The laser treats hair follicles that are in an active growth phase, so more than one treatment is required to destroy hair follicles that subsequently enter this growth phase.
How many treatments will I need?     Three treatments will give you a moderate amount of hair removal.  For near complete removal a total of 6 treatments are effective for most areas.  The area treated remains fairly hair free between treatments.

JUVEDERM™ & RESTYLANE™ INJECTABLE FILLERS:     These injectable fillers lift the lip, wrinkle, fold or depression by adding volume under the skin.
What are the most common areas treated?     Thin lips can be enhanced for a more natural or sensual, luscious, "pouty" look, with an emphasis on looking natural.  Aging lips can be defined and the vertical lines along the upper lip that frequently cause "lipstick bleed" can be filled.  Smile lines, the lines extending from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth and extending downward to the chin can be softened.  Facial scars, depressions or asymmetry can be corrected.  The results usually last 2 - 6 months, depending on the filler used, the area injected and the individual's response to the procedure.

LASER FOR LEG AND FACE VEINS:     Our ND-Yag will reduce or eliminate unsightly leg veins.  2 - 3 treatments are usually needed for complete removal.

MEDICAL ANTI-AGING SKIN REJUVENATION TREATMENTS:     Your treatment options include Microdermabrasion "Power Peel", Hydra-Facial, IPL Photo Facial and in-office Medical Strength Peels:  Glycolic, Salicylic, Jessners, Vi-Peel and Cosmelan.
How do they work?     Rejuvenation or "Lunchtime" treatments create an even, controlled exfoliation of damaged skin cells several layers deep.  The process exposes a fresh layer of skin which improves skin tone and texture by removing old, weathered and damaged skin cells.  Treatments stimulate the skin and the underlying tissues which increase collagen and elastin production stimulating new healthy cells to grow, thus tightening the skin and diminishing wrinkles.
Which treatment is best for you?     Skin rejuvenation treatments will vary with each individual skin type and degree of wrinkling, sun damage, texture irregularities, acne, scarring, discoloration or age spots.  A complimentary skin evaluation is performed and we will structure a program to fit your specific needs.  The program may include a mixture of rejuvenating procedures depending on the current condition of your skin and the goals we have set for improving your skin.

Introducing Our Staff, Pictured Above Left to right:

At Launa Stone's MedSpa & Anti-aging Clinic our products are FDA approved. Over the Counter department store products are not.

After FDA approval, they can be called "cosmeceuticals", which means they affect "live tissue", as documented in studies. 

A home care regimen will complement the in-office rejuvenating treatments, but the products may be used on their own to improve overall skin texture, tone, and clarity. 
If feeling good about your skin matters to you and you are willing to make a commitment to have better skin, call and schedule your complementary consultation today!
