Verve Medial Cosmetics

Instant Gratification

The truth is time keeps marching on. With each year we all get a little wiser while our facial folds and furrows get a little deeper. But wrinkles and wisdom don’t have to go hand in hand.  Now you can finally plump up the volume in just a few minutes with INSTANT results and little to no downtime. Over the counter creams and anti-aging potions can’t replace the major cause of wrinkles—volume.  Non-surgical injectable fillers replace what time has taken away by plumping up the skin.  Adding Botox ® Cosmetic to the mix will relax muscles that cause deep furrows enhancing your results. Best of all, after a free consultation, each procedure takes minutes to perform and in most cases results are instantaneous with little to no downtime.  So now that you are a little smarter, lets turn back the hands of time.

How To Be A Younger Fresher You, Part Two

As we mentioned in our post on Tuesday, outside of medical cosmetics there are many things you can do to not only look your best but also look younger and healthier. Below are just a few more steps that anyone can do to start looking great at any age. Remember being told not to hunch when you were a child?  Well correct posture will keep your body aligned and healthy, makes you appear a few pounds lighter, plus projects an air of confidence. So sit and stand up straight, don’t hunch your shoulders (which can make you look eons older) and hold your head up high! We all know how important exercise is but for those who don’t work out much it can be intimidating.  You don’t have to go out and run a few miles at the crack dawn everyday. Just start working in some strength training and stretching…

How to be a Younger, Fresher You!

Outside of medical cosmetics there are many things you can do to not only look your best, but also look younger and healthier. Below are just a few steps that anyone can do to start looking great at any age.   You mother may have told you that in order to start the day right, you need to have a good night’s sleep. She was right! Your body, including your skin, needs at least 7-8 hours sleep in order to rejuvenate.  So don’t skimp on catching your zzzz’s, if you don’t feel refreshed, you won’t look refreshed!   First off, if you still smoke it is time to smell the fresh air! Not only is this unhealthy for you, but second hand smoke is detrimental to the people around you. Smoking can lead to many difference diseases plus it makes you look dreadful by rapidly aging the skin.   Let’s…

Freckles & Age Spots

Age sun spots are cute on Dalmatians, but when they appear on your face — well that’s another story. There are two types of “spots” that appear on our skin;  freckles and age spots. Both are evidence of sun damage. Freckles, as adorable as they might seem, are the result of too much sun in addition to having unevenly distributed melanin (the dark pigment in skin). Age spots on the other hand, are never charming.  As we get older our skin’s natural ability to fight off UV rays diminishes and unlike dainty freckles age spots appear as large brown or gray-ish splotches that leave the recipient with a dull, uneven complexion. Yuck. Thankfully there is plenty that can be done to restore the spotless luster to one’s skin. IPL Photofacial Laser is an efficient way to remove dots and splotches,  plus it is medical approved. For select patients a Retin…

Correcting Vertical Lip Lines

To embarrassed to pucker up or even apply lipstick because of those pesky vertical lines that sprout from your top lip? You are not alone. Like crow’s feet, lip lines are caused by years of movement and age. For smokers and sun worshippers, the condition is particularly severe. Like the rest of your face, facial fat makes up some of the volume in our lips and, over time, this facial fat becomes depleted. Add the thinning of skin that happens as you continue to grow older and you are left with deflated thin lips that are lined with those aging vertical creases. Luckily, this condition can be minimized or even reversed at Verve Medical Aesthetics.  After a free consultation, Dr Stephen Bracci will create a custom treatment specific to your needs.  Whether you require Botox to relax over active muscles, an injectable cosmetic to replace volume, or both we aim to…

Botox Cosmetics Vs. Dermal Fillers: What's The Difference?

Confused About The Difference Between Botox and Fillers? Don’t Worry, You’re Not Alone!   Read below to learn more about   The difference Between Botox Cosmetic and Dermal Fillers Why We Use Different Treatments For Different Areas Which Treatments Are Best For Different Areas Of The Face   We’ve heard a lot of people ask recently about the difference between Botox Cosmetic and Juvederm, a popular dermal filler. Often times, this question arises whenever a new patient calls to inquire about treating a problem area with Botox, only to find out that Botox isn’t even used to treat that particular area of concern! Usually, these patients are told that the area they are looking to correct is actually treated with dermal fillers, such as Juvederm or Restylane.   Because of how often this question comes up, we’ve decided to finally set the record straight by explaining the difference between Botox…

Marionette Lines Explained

Marionette lines, despite the playful name, can make us look years beyond our real age. For those not in the know, (because you are most likely too young) marionette lines are the vertical creases that run downward from the corners of the mouth. As the lines get deeper they begin to carve a permanent disappointed “look” on one’s face.   The culprit for this condition is facial structure and age. As adults grow older, the fatty tissues that give us that youthful apple cheeked look deflate. The result is skin that starts to look loose and pulled down. Despite what you may see advertised, there are no magical creams or facial exercises that can reverse the condition. However, non-surgical cosmetic fillers administered by an experienced physician especially when started early in the aging process is the most effective way to turn that frown upside. Non-surgical cosmetic filler treatments take 10 minutes, are safe and…
