Time is one of the most precious commodities in today’s world. Families have more on their schedules than ever before. The workplace is more competitive than it’s ever been. Career and home demands leave little time to luxuriate let alone take whole blocks of time to recuperate from elective cosmetic surgery.

To that end, Rocky Mountain Laser Aesthetics offers minimally-invasive injectable treatments that can rejuvenate your face—the first thing people notice when they see you—without having to take time off of work.

The most popular injectable in the world is BOTOX® which eliminates the frown lines in the forehead, between the eyes and the crow’s feet around the eyes. As the first injectable on the market just a handful of years ago, BOTOX has gained acceptance in men and women patients who seek to eliminate the frown lines that make them look angry or tired.

Other injectables are used to smooth away lines by filling in creases and wrinkles.  Restylane® is used to eradicate deep creases in your skin and have younger looking lips. Unlike some injectables, Restylane is a totally non-animal product eliminating the possibility of allergic reaction. And when totally absorbed, Restylane turns into water and carbon dioxide and disappears from your body without a trace. To date, more than a million Restylane treatments have been successfully administered in more than 60 countries worldwide.

Juvéderm™ is an injectable gel filler that instantly smooth out those wrinkles or folds along the side of your nose and mouth. Results aren’t just instant, they’re so smooth and natural, everyone will notice but no one will know. Juvederm comes in several formulations and Dr. Jeffrey Raval, Medical Director of Rocky Mountain Laser Aesthetics, or your Medical Esthetician can tell you which is right for you-JUVÉDERM™ Ultra injectable gel, optimally formulated for versatility in contouring and volumizing wrinkles and folds, or JUVÉDERM™ Ultra Plus, a robust formulation for volumizing and correcting deeper wrinkles and folds.

Radiesse® is called a next generation filler because it can restore facial volume as well as correct smile lines, nasolabial folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Made of unique calcium-based microspheres suspended in a natural gel that is injected into the skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure, the results can last up to a year.

Make an appointment today to find out which injectable is exactly right to correct the lines that age has left on your face. Remember, your face is the first thing anyone notices when they meet you. Call the RMLA at 303-985-8520.

When Newsweek magazine reported the “Five Painful Places to Get a Tattoo” (Feb. 2008), medical aestheticians at Rocky Mountain Laser Aesthetics in Cherry Creek North in Denver, Colorado could relate. These aestheticians regularly treat patients for laser tattoo reduction and the conversation inevitably ends up being about why the patient got the tattoo in the first place and how much it hurt or didn’t.

“I have to agree with the writer’s assessment of the five most painful places,” says Jessica Santi, CAN, CLS, Clinical Coordinator of Rocky Mountain Laser Aesthetics. “Patients who come into our clinic generally have great remorse over getting a tattoo in the first place. They recall the pain they went through for something they now want removed and it seems senseless.”

Newsweek ranked the top most painful places to get a tattoo as:

• The mons pubis
• The top of the foot or ankle
• Behind the ear
• The chest above the rib cage
• The eyeball, when tattooed with permanent makeup, along with the eyebrows and lips.

The reason for the exacerbated pain is that these areas of the body are less fleshy than other parts like the thigh or biceps. And generally a dense concentration of nerves exists where skin and bone are in close proximity without a layer of fat between the two.

While getting the tattoo is painful in the first place, making it disappear doesn’t have to be when performed in a clinic situation with a medical director who can prescribe an anesthetic. Jeffrey R. Raval, MD, FACS, triple-board certified facial plastic surgeon is medical director of Rocky Mountain Laser Aesthetics.

Medical advances also mean that the removal of a tattoo doesn’t have to leave an unsightly scar. Using the MedLite® laser, a Q-Swithed laser Nd: YAG laser, the laser of choice in this class of laser, any tattoo can be significantly lightened and reduced, even across a wide variety of tattoo inks. The MedLite laser uses rapid absorption of light energy that causes the tattoo ink to break into tiny particles that can be flushed from the body’s system naturally. Best of all, the MedLite laser leaves the surrounding tissue, the area that is not tattooed, unharmed.
