Goodbye Sun Spots
It is the perfect time to take advantage of our great promotion to treat your sun spots now with either of these treatments, while the days are still cloudy and cool!
IPL/PHOTOFACIAL
Without damaging the skin, the light penetrates through the skin and is absorbed by the abnormally dilated vessels or pigmentation. The heat impairs the vessel or lesion, or breaks down pigmentation, and the body begins its natural healing process while tightening, removing brown discoloration, spider veins, redness and improving skin texture
What is the difference between tone and texture? Skin tone is the evenness of the skin color – sun spots, blotches, redness, etc.; while skin texture is the condition of the surface of the skin – smoothness, pore size, fine lines, etc. IPL works best to improve skin tone, additional treatment such as microneedling can be applied to even greater improve skin texture. IPL requires no downtime and you can return to work the same day!
Most patients see a significant improvement after just one treatment but see additional benefits in multiple sessions. Follow up treatments may be required to maintain results.
FRACTIONAL CO2
Fractional CO2 is a popular laser treatment for the skin that has been shown to dramatically diminish wrinkles and improve sun damage with minimal downtime. The fractional CO2 laser energy heats and vaporizes layers of the skin to remove brown spots and sun damage while it heats the dermis tostimulate new collagen and elastin to reduce lines and wrinkles. This very popular treatment at FAC can be performed in conjunction with the TCA acid peel or photo facial for accentuated results.
Before the Fractional C02 treatment, a numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. Oral sedation is also available at the patient’s request. The skin will feel very warm during the treatment with a mild sunburn sensation lasting for about 2 – 4 hours directly after treatment. Over the next few days there will be some inflammation, the skin will bronze and start to flake within 3 days. Post treatment products are given to ensure comfort and rapid healing. Most patients heal fully within 7-10 days.
Along with your treatment, we provide a complimentary facial with our medical esthetician to ensure proper post treatment rejuvenated skin.

NANOFRACTIONAL
An award winning, breakthrough treatment offering great results with no-surgery, little to no downtime, and no pain.
In the last decade, there has been progressive innovation in non-surgical treatments to improve skin tone, quality, texture and rejuvenate the skin’s appearance. There is always a balancing act between effectiveness, downtime, and patient discomfort.
Generally, the more downtime, the more effective the treatment but also, the more downtime, the more discomfort. NanoFractional technology bridges a gap between these three aspects of aesthetic treatments offering little to no downtime, no pain, and a great result.
Our General Manager, Chris, recently had a treatment and was thrilled with the experience. “Being in aesthetics for the last 15 years I have seen and had many different treatments. I was amazed that the NanoFractional RF was completely comfortable and produced a great response in my skin. My skin was a little red after the treatment, but I resumed normal activities immediately and my skin felt tighter and smoother the next morning. I’ve not seen this combination of no downtime, no discomfort, and an immediate tightening of the skin in any other treatment.”
NanoFractional RF uses tiny needles, less than 1mm, to deliver multi polar radio frequency energy and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields to produce uniform heating in the skin’s surface. This heating stimulates the skin to produce collagen and elastin fibers, resulting in smoother, firmer skin that looks noticeably more youthful.
The treatment is really a combination of microneedling and radio frequency skin rejuvenation. Combining technologies has proven to create a more effective treatment and as such we have added not only NanoFractional RF to our portfolio but also are combining this with IPL treatment to address not only skin texture and tightness but also reduce pigmentation and redness in the skin. We call this our Tone and Texture NanoFractional or TNT NanoFractional.
“Our ability to improve skin quality, tone, and texture is continually improving with innovative new treatments. NanoFractional RF technology represents an outstanding improvement in what we are able to accomplish without discomfort and little to no downtime.” FAC Founder, Dr. Richard Gangnes
3 Ways to Restore Your Youthful Appearance
3 Treatments to Shed Years Off Your Skin
NanoFractional-RF (NFRF)
NanoFractional is a non-surgical procedure designed to smooth and tighten the skin with no downtime. The procedure delivers radiofrequency energy using microneedles to heat and stimulate the skin. The procedure is very comfortable and targets superficial fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating the skin to rebuild collagen and elastin. NanoFractional is very effective at improving skin texture and firmness.
Dynamic Variable Depth RF (DVDRF)
DVDRF is similar to NanoFractional, as it uses microneedling with to deliver radiofrequency energy to the skin. Where the two technologies are different are in the depth of the skin that is targeted and the energy that can be delivered. DVDRF uses variable treatment depth and energy to customize treatment parameters to each individual patient. Because we are able to treat the skin at greater depths we can also treat body areas with DVDRF.
SIMILARITIES
Both NanoFractional and DVDRF…
– Involve microneedling to deliver RF
– Stimulate collagen and elastin production
– Improve skin texture – pore size, fine lines, acne scaring
– PRP can be topically applied with either procedure
DIFFERENCES
– NFRF is a set depth of 0.5mm, while DVD ranges in depths between 0.5mm-3.0mm.
– NFRF requires no downtime.
– NFRF is performed in a series, DVDRF is typically a single treatment
– DVDRF can be used on the body
Fillers
Restylane and Defyne

*Valid until December 31, 2018. Terms and Conditions Apply. Promotions cannot be combined.
Holiday Prep
Look great in time for your holiday events with the following treatments! Whether you need to lose the wrinkles and pigmentation or add some volume, stimulate collagen, and improve skin completion. Learn more about some of the treatments we offer to help you and our holiday promotions to get you ready for all our events:
Smooth
Fine and wrinkles appear without notice and can make us appear older than we feel. The aging of our skin can be in the form of wrinkles, pigmentation, and sagging skin. This caused by the natural aging process, though the environment can play a role in speeding up our aging process. If you need to stimulate some collagen and elastin in your skin some the treatments below are a great start to get your ready for the holidays. We have provided an expected amount of time you will need to let your skin heal for each of the procedures listed to ensure you schedule your treatment with enough time to spare for your holiday event!
Microneedling
During the treatment tiny micro-channels are created in the skin to stimulate new cell and collagen production, smoothing out contour irregularities and reducing discoloration left from previous breakouts. The skin heals very quickly, closing the micro-channels within the first day. A small amount of sloughing may occur post treatment for up to a week, but with moisturizer it is barely visible. Treatments are done in a series 4-6 weeks apart with appropriate homecare in between. They can be done alone or even combined with other treatments to enhance the results. Microneedling treatment is virtually painless with little to no downtime. Contact us for a complimentary consultation to see if Microneedling is the right treatment for you!
Benefits: Microneedling is a no downtime procedure that can dramatically improve the appearance of the skin and quality of both skin tone and texture. It allows for potent topical products to be delivered deeper into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin creation.
*You may experience redness for a few days to follow, but make-up can be applied after 24 hours if needed.

Fractional CO2
The Fractional CO2 is typically a one time treatment to diminish wrinkles and improve sun damage with minimal downtime. A laser with fractional technology, meaning its treats portions of the skin while keeping portions of the skin intact. It targets fine lines/wrinkles, sun damage, and melasma. The fractional CO2 laser energy heats up the tissue at the level of the dermis to stimulate new collagen and elastin and break up pigmentation.
Benefits: It is an exceptional treatment to improve the texture and quality of the skin. It is an excellent treatment option for brown spots, melasma, and finer lines and wrinkles. It does not have a substantial impact on redness, facial tightening, or deeper lines and wrinkles. Most people will see results and meet their expectations with one treatment, but those with more problematic skin features may require additional treatments. It is a very popular procedure at FAC and can be performed in conjunction with the TCA acid peel for accentuated results.

Contour
Youthful contours are created by restoring the skins underlying structure, that has been diminished by the aging process. We use a variety of non-surgical treatments to rebuild the underlying structure returning natural facial contours. One of the most popular treatments to bring your youthful contours back are Botox and Fillers.
Botox and Fillers
FAC uses more Botox and filler than anyone in Orange County! The most common treatments that produce a remarkable result with little to no downtime. Whether its frown lines, smile lines or just general wrinkles, Botox and fillers smooth the signs of ‘maturity’ and keep you looking great. Botox can take anywhere between 7-14 days to notice full results, and while filler can remain a bit swollen immediately after injection and take time to settle.
