Medical Aesthetic Procedures to Relax Your Muscles
Botox is actually the trade name for a substance injected into the skin which is known to inhibit muscle movement and can prevent wrinkles from developing or worsening. Botox is a medical treatment that can be used to help relax facial muscles. This makes lines and wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and frown lines, less obvious. Botox can temporarily alter your appearance without the need for surgery.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet lines in adults. BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the most extensively studied medical aesthetic treatments and is approved for cosmetic use in 78 countries.
BOTOX® Cosmetic has a record of experience that aesthetic specialists know and trust. And the safety and efficacy of BOTOX® Cosmetic have been evaluated in both Allergan-sponsored clinical trials as well as in 417 peer-reviewed articles in scientific and medical journals.
BOTOX® Cosmetic contains tiny amounts of a highly purified botulinum toxin protein refined from the bacterium, Clostridium botulinum. Formulations, potency, and approved doses vary among botulinum toxin products, which means that one product cannot take the place of another. Those are a few reasons why there is no such thing as a “generic” form of BOTOX® Cosmetic. There have been no studies to support that other products are Unit-to-Unit equivalent to BOTOX® Cosmetic.
Approximately 10.9 million vials of BOTOX® Cosmetic have been sold in the United States since 2002, and millions of people have already made BOTOX® Cosmetic a part of what they do for themselves. Today, BOTOX® Cosmetic is the #1 selling product of its kind in the world.

When it comes to facial aesthetics, we all have different needs and concerns. Simply Bliss offers a wide variety of dermal fillers that can be customized to your specific needs. Wrinkles and lines aren’t the only signs of aging. Over time, age-related volume loss can cause the cheeks to flatten and the skin to sag. Skin can also lose elasticity due to genetics and environmental factors like sun exposure causing lines to form around your mouth and nose. Defecate under the eyes and thinning of the lips are often the first thing noticed when our faces begin to change with the hands of time.
KYBELLA is administered as a series of injections to the treatment area under the chin, destroying fat cells and producing gradual results. Everyone’s chin profile is different, so your provider will tailor treatment to you. The number of treatment sessions will vary based on the amount of fat under the chin and your treatment goals. The active ingredient in KYBELLA is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
Also known as Microneedling or CIT, it is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that’s used to treat skin concerns via collagen production. This treatment may help those looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines/wrinkles, pigmentation issues, acne scars, and stretch marks. It’s also used in certain anti-aging procedures. CIT works by encouraging your skin to make more collagen. The idea is that pinpricks from the procedure cause slight injury to the skin and that the skin responds by making new collagen-rich tissue. This new skin tissue is, in turn, more even in tone and texture. It’s normal for the skin to lose collagen via age or injury. By encouraging the skin to make new tissue, there may be more collagen to help make the skin firmer, too.

VI Peels are suitable for various skin types, including darker skin tones. They offer specifically designed treatments that are convenient and targeted to address: anti-aging, hyperpigmentation, sun spots, damaged skin, acne-prone skin, and acne scarring.
VI Peel works synergistically with your current aesthetic treatments to provide the best non-invasive solutions for your specific skin.
PDO stands for Polydioxanone, which has been used in cardiothoracic surgery for decades! It is fully absorbed by hydrolysis within 4 to 6 months and doesn’t create any scar tissue. The foreign body stimulates collagen synthesis, and the skin structure created will hold for another 12 to 15 months. The bad reputation of threads that were used in the past was due to the fact that they weren’t always absorbable and that there were more complications for those who didn’t have any surgical skills. Using PDO solves that issue.
The Most Comfortable Laser Hair Removal in Omaha, Nebraska
Tired of spending time and money shaving or waxing and don’t want to suffer through painful electrolysis treatments?
With our laser hair removal, we can remove most unwanted hair in 7-10 treatments and then an occasional touchup every couple of years. Most clients report significant hair reduction after just 1-2 treatments.
We can quickly treat large areas of the legs and the back, as well as smaller areas, like the beard and neckline. The Lumenis uses vacuum and icing technology to make it one of the most comfortable hair removal systems on the market.
How It Works
Hair removal by laser works by damaging the hair follicle using intense wavelength-specific laser light. The laser seeks out and hits the pigment (hair color) in the follicle, thus damaging it.
Hair follicles are damaged only during one phase of the hair growth cycle; therefore multiple treatments are needed to remove hair in all stages. Sometimes, the follicles cycle together meaning that a treatment hits many cells at the correct point in the cycle resulting in great early results. However, the laser can also hit most cells when they are not vulnerable, giving minimal results. Usually, though, hair cells are in all phases of hair growth resulting in reasonable and consistent hair removal.
As mentioned, the laser attacks hair’s pigment. Dark hair gets quicker results than lighter hair. Some clients with darker hair may start to see their desired results in as little as three treatments. Most clients require seven to ten visits. People with albinism or who have gone grey are not candidates for laser hair removal.
Treatment intervals vary depending on the body area. In general, visits for the face and neck are every four weeks, the torso and arms every six to eight weeks, and the lower body and legs every eight to ten weeks.
Before your first visit, make sure your skin is in a healthy condition and that you are not pregnant.
Tanned skin is not a problem, but acute sunburn must heal before any treatment.
Shave the night before or the morning of treatment.
If you have taken the prescription drug for acne, a six months wait before laser hair removal is required.
Depigmentation can occur with darker skin. The same wavelength that damages the follicle can seek out and remove melanin (skin pigment) from your skin. When this is a concern, a test area is done at no charge in a place not visible, and then checked in four weeks before further treatment.
Safe & Effective Tattoo Removal
People come to us with many reasons for wanting to remove a tattoo. Job opportunities, changes in relationships, life changes, and even wanting a different tattoo where the current one is. No matter the reason, we are here to help.
Our laser works on all skin types and is effective on all colors of ink except white.
Laser Tattoo Removal Works
The two types of laser technology to remove ink are known as nanosecond and picosecond. Nanosecond lasers run at a billionth of a second while picosecond lasers run at a trillionth of a second.
Nanosecond was the standard until recent years and works better with larger particles of ink. Nanosecond lasers were effective at lightening the tattoo, but would often struggle to completely remove the tattoo as ink particles became smaller. This would often lead to a faded tattoo that was unable to be completely removed.
A few years ago, the picosecond laser was developed to completely remove particles of ink towards the end of treatment.
Our Cutera enlighten® laser works by combining nanoseconds with picoseconds for the quickest and safest removal possible.
Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling
Wrinkles and fine lines, acne scarring, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and loss of elasticity are common skin complaints. Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling can be a quick and effective treatment for any of these issues and more
with lasting results.
Microneedling treatment works by producing shallow punctures in the skin creating small, controlled wounds. The body’s healing response builds new collagen and capillaries resulting in the plumping, smoothing, and revitalization of
the skin.
What To Expect
Photos are taken before and after each treatment to measure results. Skin numbing and cleansing before each session takes about thirty minutes. Side effects such as red, puffy, and sensitive skin will subside within a few days.
Results become most noticeable three to four weeks post-procedure. The optimal number of visits will vary depending on your individualized treatment plan.
Our truSculpt 3d body sculpting and cellulite treatment device melts away, on average, 24% of fat within 12 weeks after a single no-downtime treatment.
A treatment session can last from fifteen minutes to an hour. Patients typically report little or no discomfort. The temperature can also be easily adjusted to accommodate your comfort. There is no recovery time and most people resume normal activities immediately.
Millions of women suffer from issues such as stress urinary incontinence, recurrent bladder infections, and decreased sexual functioning. Childbirth and Menopause can lead to stretching of the vagina with decreased muscle tone and support. The appearance of the external vaginal area can also change with excessive tissue sagging.
With recent advances in technology, you can experience non-invasive vaginal rejuvenation without having to resort to risky surgeries.
We use the Inmode Votiva system. Votiva usually requires 1-3 treatments spaced a month apart that last only 10 minutes each. Most patients see and feel immediate results. After vaginal rejuvenation treatments, clients have reported a reduction in vaginal dryness, reduced pain during intercourse, and resolved stress urinary incontinence.

The VI Peel is designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, acne scars, and other skin imperfections. It works by removing the top layers of dead skin cells and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which helps to firm and tighten the skin.
The VI Peel is performed in a medical office or med spa by a trained healthcare professional. The procedure takes about 30 minutes to complete, and patients may experience some mild discomfort or stinging during the process. Patients will go home with the peel on their face and are asked to perform follow up cares at 4 hours and the night of and next night before bed. Peeling usually begins day 3-5. After the peel, patients may experience some redness, peeling, and flaking of the skin for a few days up to a week.

When looking for a med spa to perform a VI Peel, it is important to choose a facility that has experienced and licensed healthcare professionals who specialize in this type of treatment.
In addition, the quality of the VI Peel products used by the med spa can make a significant difference in the results achieved. The VI Peel brand is known for its high-quality ingredients and proprietary formula, and it is recommended to choose a med spa that uses VI Peel products.
Furthermore, a good med spa should offer a consultation prior to the procedure to ensure that the patient is a good candidate for the VI Peel and to discuss any potential risks or side effects. They should also provide detailed aftercare instructions to help patients achieve the best possible results and minimize the risk of complications.
Ultimately, when choosing a med spa for a VI Peel, it is important to do your research and select a reputable facility with experienced professionals, high-quality products, and a commitment to patient safety and satisfaction.
Sculptra
Why is Sculptra an Excellent Product
Sculptra is considered an excellent product because it is a long-lasting, effective, natural and safe injectable filler that can help to restore volume, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and improve texture and glow of any age skin on the face and parts of the body.
One of the primary benefits of Sculptra is its ability to stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. Collagen is a protein that gives skin its strength and elasticity, and it naturally declines with age, leading to sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines. Sculptra works by slowly releasing small amounts of poly-L-lactic acid, which stimulates the body's natural collagen production process by awakening the fibroblasts which are the messenger cells to the elastin and collagen cells. This leads to a gradual improvement in skin quality, texture, glow, and youthful bounce over time.
Another benefit of Sculptra is its long-lasting effects. Unlike some other fillers, which may need to be repeated every few months, Sculptra can last for up to two years or more, depending on the individual, skin punch studies show type 1 collagen at 25 months after a full correction.
Sculptra is also considered a safe and well-tolerated product. It has been approved by the FDA for use in the United States and has undergone rigorous testing and clinical trials to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
Overall, Sculptra is an excellent product for those looking to improve the appearance of aging skin without undergoing invasive surgical procedures.
