In recent years, doctors have learned that the body has an incredible ability to heal itself. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that embraces those abilities and accelerates the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissue. The treatment uses your own blood cells to create injections that can be used to treat conditions ranging from musculoskeletal pain and injuries to cosmetic procedures.

We all want youthful skin for as long as possible. It can be a bit unsettling to look in the mirror one day and see our skin aging. It could be caused by the natural aging process, or it could be caused by some of our lifestyle choices. If we don't take care of our body, the appearance of our skin suffers. With a few habit changes, you can maintain and improve your appearance.

If you want to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, eliminate acne scars, sun spots, or tattoos, laser skin resurfacing may be for you. The virtually painless procedure produces permanent results, improving your appearance and boosting your confidence.

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive, permanent procedure to remove unwanted body hair from common areas such as the bikini line, back, face, legs, and underarms. Say goodbye to ingrown hairs, irritation, razor burn, shaving, and expensive waxing appointments. Most people need about six treatments to achieve their hair-free skin efficiently.

Although spider veins are common and usually harmless, they can also be irritating, embarrassing, and negatively impact your self-confidence. Lifestyle changes and compression stockings are typically the first line of defense against these enlarged and visible vessels. When those methods fall short, a medical procedure may be needed to eliminate the affected veins.

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail! If you have never had a medical spa treatment before, it can be hard to know what to expect. Pre-procedure instructions are pivotal but not commonly known by first-time patients unless you’ve done a substantial amount of research.

Achieving a youthful glow can be tricky in the best of times, and it’s even more difficult in the cold, dry months of winter. The combination of cold temperatures, dry indoor heating, and harsh winds can result in a dull, lackluster complexion. Updating your skincare products can give your skin the more intense care that it needs during the colder months.

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the U.S. with thousands of procedures performed each year. It is ideal for people with specific areas of unwanted fat who are unable to get rid of them through diet and exercise alone. New, modern liposuction technologies such as SmartLipo Liposuction are more advanced than in the past, allowing patients to have gorgeous, contoured results they can enjoy for years to come.

Cosmetic procedures are an attractive and easy way to shave years off of your appearance or improve your physique. Non-invasive procedures such as Botox, dermal fillers and laser hair removal have become a regular part of many individuals’ beauty regimes. Limited capacity and cost from professional providers can push some people into pursuing alternative DIY options that could cause significantly more harm than good. Like any procedure, there are risks and limitations.

Do-it-Yourself (DIY) cosmetic procedures are becoming more and more popular as the years go by. Many people are opting to try these procedures due to lower costs, COVID protocols, and high hopes that they will work as advertised. At best, the majority of these DIY procedures don’t work. At worst, they will put your health and safety at risk. In fact, the risks of DIY versions of cosmetic treatments are very high.

Everyone wants a clear, radiant complexion, but thanks to the internet and old wive’s tales, there is a ton of skin care advice available and not all of it is good. The fact of the matter is that a lot of skincare advice doesn’t work and some skincare myths can even cause damage to your skin and health. Here are five common skin care myths debunked!

Fractional Skin Resurfacing is a laser treatment that stimulates your skin’s renewal process to reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve skin marred by acne scarring, aging, and sun damage.

Looking to freshen up your face this summer? Both Botox and Dysport are popular, nonsurgical products used to relax your facial muscles and eliminate wrinkles, frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines with quick recovery rates. Derived from botulinum toxins, which are safe in small amounts, Botox and Dysport are types of neurotoxins that block muscle contractions. Still, these two treatments have their diferences and you should always talk with your doctor about the best wrinkle treatment for you.

There are many types of hair restoration procedures available, but the most advanced, recent technology is the NeoGraft. NeoGraft permanently redistributes your hair so that it is impossible to tell that you have had a hair transplant. NeoGraft is safer, more effective, and heals quicker than the hair transplants from decades ago.

Testosterone therapy promises to help men recapture their vitality, decrease body fat, and enhance libido. While hormone treatment can be medically necessary for some men, it is not meant to be a fountain of youth if your levels fall within the normal range. Most doctors have varying opinions on testosterone therapy and agree that more research is needed. If you think you may have low levels of testosterone, make an appointment with your doctor. A simple blood test can determine if you need testosterone therapy or have any underlying conditions.

Sometimes it seems like no matter what you do, the perfect body eludes you. If diet and exercise aren’t enough, it may be time to consider cosmetic procedures to help get the body you want. When it comes to getting rid of stubborn, unwanted fat deposits and reshaping your figure, body contouring and laser liposuction are two of the most effective and popular methods available. They both have the same goal of slimming your physique, but their techniques are different and results can vary. Understanding the difference can help you determine which procedure is best for you.

Are you experiencing hair loss or thinning? Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a natural, organic treatment option that can have a positive impact on hair growth. PRP therapy uses injections of your own blood platelets to stimulate hair growth when placed inside the scalp.

If you are suffering from tattoo regret, laser removal at Calvine Medical Aesthetics is the most effective method to eliminate the ink without scarring over a series of sessions. IPL (intense pulsed light) laser therapy uses a concentrated, bright light to break down the tattoo ink into tiny fragments, which are eventually absorbed into the bloodstream and safely passed out of the body. It is safe for all skin tones and works on virtually all inks.

Think Botox and fillers are just for women? That’s not the case! Now more than ever, men are concerned with anti-aging and their skin care routine. Men want to look refreshed and rested, without looking like they've had anything “done.” Botox and facial fillers smooth fine lines and wrinkles, reduce dark circles and tired eyes, relieve migraines, and eliminate excessive sweating with minimal invasion and little to no downtime.

Treating yourself to a Botox procedure at Calvine Medical Aesthetics is a great way to feel fresh and rejuvenated. Botox is highly effective in diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, with patients seeing results within a week of treatment. Much of this effectiveness depends on the right care following treatment to ensure that your procedure is as successful as possible.

Are you looking for a natural, organic way to accelerate the healing of an injury, improve hair growth, or firm and moisturize the skin? If so, you should consider Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP therapy uses injections of your own blood platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons and ligaments, stimulate hair growth, and rejuvenate skin.

When you’re ready to start smoothing out those wrinkles that are slowly appearing, you have several options. Most well-known treatments involve injecting foreign substances like botulinum (Botox) or dermal fillers under your skin to relax muscles or fill in wrinkles.

If you’re interested in hair restoration to restore your hair line and boost your confidence, you’re probably wondering what method is best for you. Hair transplants can add back hair density and thickness, and can also turn back the clock on receding hairlines. Let’s look at the most popular hair restoration techniques: the traditional strip hair transplant and NeoGraft, a modern hair transplant technology.

We are re-opening!

We are pleased to announce that on Monday, June 22nd we will start a slow rollout of re-opening Calvine Medical Aesthetics. Safety is our top priority during this time of COVID-19. We are strictly following best practices and guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) so you can be sure of your safety when you come in for a visit. Below you will find detailed information we want to make you aware of regarding safety, hours of operation, and any new updates:

Are you experiencing thinning hair, hair loss, or baldness? Hair loss doesn’t have to be permanent! Restore your confidence and look your best with non-surgical hair restoration.

Sculpt yourself slim and complement your weight loss efforts with body contouring! As the saying goes, “If you can pinch it, we can shrink it!” From skin tightening to body contouring and aesthetic enhancement, the safe and effective treatments use the most advanced technology to target and destroy stubborn fat cells.

Are you tired of scars, tattoos, sunspots, and wrinkles? Do you feel self-conscious about pigmentation issues, visible veins, or loose skin? Laser treatments are the permanent solution to embarrassing skin issues. Improve your skin tone and appearance permanently with IPL (intense pulsed light) laser therapy.

If you’re new to injectables, you may wonder about the difference between Botox and fillers, and which treatment can help you achieve your anti-aging goals. Botox and fillers both have their own unique advantages and can also be used together to reverse the signs of aging. A combination approach can take years off your face, with longer lasting results than Botox or fillers alone.

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is all the rage thanks to Kim Kardashian and other notable online influencers. From reviving dull and tired skin to softening fine lines and wrinkles and smoothing skin texture, PRP is a breakthrough for total facial rejuvenation.

Botox parties are currently trending, luring in women (and some men) who hope to share the Botox experience without ever stepping foot into a medical spa or clinic. While the idea may sound appealing (no appointments or wait time, and the camaraderie of friends), there are many risks involved, including infection, potential allergic reaction, and other serious side effects.

With age, we start to lose volume in our faces, especially in the cheeks and lips, around the mouth, and under the eyes. Restoring volume without surgery, nonsurgical or liquid face lifts rely on dermal fillers to effectively restore volume, support and lift tissue, and smooth lines and wrinkles for a more refreshed and youthful appearance.

The most impressive new treatment for erectile dysfunction and performance enhancement is low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (LI-ESWT). Also known as shockwave or acoustic therapy, this is the ultimate solution for men with ED. If you’ve been experiencing ED or Peyronie’s disease, or simply want to boost your sexual performance, non-invasive shockwave therapy is the answer.

Are you experiencing facial lines or a loss of volume and fullness from your face? With age, your natural skin volume diminishes, making lines and wrinkles appear more visible. As skin begins to wrinkle and sag, years of sun exposure and your natural muscle movement lead to further tissue breakdown of the skin.

Do you have unwanted tattoos or regrettable ink from your youth? Do you want to cover up an existing tattoo, but the old ink is too dense? Laser treatments are the permanent solution to remove tattoos and improve your skin tone and appearance.
