Thermage® Lifts Lids, Tightens Tummy

More good news from Thermage®! This revolutionary, non-invasive procedure can now benefit your eyelids and abdomen - in addition to your face and neck. Thanks to FDA approval, The Vessely Center can provide comprehensive Thermage® treatments for the body. Utilizing its patented radiofrequency, Thermage® stimulates and tightens existing collagen, while activating new collagen production. The results are tightened skin and renewed contours.

Eyes by Thermage®

If you have been concerned about sagging or excess skin of the eyelids (hooding), Dr. Vessely can now treat those areas with Thermage®. This newly approved procedure can reduce hooding and soften fine lines and crow's feet. The treatment is quick with minimal discomfort. More importantly, there is no downtime.

Faces by Thermage®

For years, patients receiving Thermage® treatments to tighten the lower face and jaw line to improve jowling have been pleased with the results. A study recently touted a 94 percent patient success rate with Thermage® used on the face. Patients also rave about its use to contour the upper neck, lift brows and soften nasolabial folds.

Body by Thermage®

Imagine life without the extra folds of skin around your tummy. It can be a reality now that The Vessely Center provides Thermage® for the abdomen. Skin laxity can occur after having a baby or two. Although this procedure is also indicated for sagging skin due to normal weight loss, it is not recommended for treatment following a major loss of weight (such as 100 pounds).

Prevage® Protects and Corrects

Now you can have the best of both worlds in one anti-aging cream! The Vessely Center now carries Prevage® MD, which helps correct the skin damage you already have and protects your skin from future damage. This specially formulated version is exclusively available in selected physician's offices.

Prevage® MD contains the highest concentration of the most powerful topical anti-oxidant, Idebenone. When you purchase Prevage® MD from The Vessely Center, you receive twice the strength of Idebenone (1 percent) than those sold at department stores.

Because it penetrates the skin more effectively than other topical agents, Prevage® MD can protect the skin from environmental hazards such at UV radiation, ozone, cigarette smoke and air pollution. Prevage® MD has been clinically shown to reduce the signs of aging in only four weeks, when used correctly.

Seminar Coming Soon!

Stay tuned for information on the next no-charge, informational seminar to be held in early May. Dr. Vessely will be on hand to provide you with the most up-to-date information on the latest advances in skin rejuvenation. Now is a good time to start thinking of questions you'd like to ask about looking as good as you feel.

Hats on for Skin Protection

The Vessely Center carries a full line of sun protective hats by Physician Endorsed. A brimmed hat can be a first line of defense against harmful UVA and UVB rays. Even if you will be exposed to ten minutes of sun, it does add up. A quick jaunt outside might not influence you to apply sunscreen, but a ready-to-go hat will help shade your face and minimize exposure.

Physician Endorsed hats come in a variety of colors and styles. Please call The Vessely Center for more information at 503.692.1190, ext. 2.

Smooth Stretch Marks with Fraxel®

With FDA approval for use on all skin surfaces, Fraxel® Laser Treatment and Thermage® can now successfully treat the effects of wrinkled and over-stretched skin. According to a recent issue of Vogue magazine, Fraxel® is emerging as the "stretch mark eraser of choice of top laser experts across the country."

Combined or alone, each procedure is non-invasive, and requires little or no downtime. Call The Vessely Center for a free consultation. Dr. Vessely can recommend a series of treatment sessions best suited for you.
