An Exciting Addition - Latisse


There’s been a growing interest in this product ever since it was introduced. And it’s no wonder. LATISSE® is the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker.


Discover the LATISSE® difference.


LATISSE® solution is an actual growth treatment. In fact, it’s the only FDA-approved treatment clinically proven to grow lashes. And it’s the only lash growth product of its kind available by prescription. So you’ll need to talk to your doctor to see if it’s right for you.


LATISSE® grows lashes longer, fuller and darker.The solution is a once-a-day treatment you apply topically to the base of your upper eyelashes, as instructed by your doctor. Then, gradually, the results come in. You may start to see more length in as little as 4 weeks and you should achieve full growth in 16 weeks. It’s not an illusion of growth. It’s your own eyelashes — only better.


How LATISSE® works.


LATISSE® makes lash growth possible because of its active ingredient: bimatoprost. Although the precise mechanism of action is unknown, LATISSE® is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase, and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase.


The history behind LATISSE®.


Although LATISSE® is a treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes, it was developed through years of research by Allergan, a pharmaceutical leader with expertise in eye care products.

Multitrepannic Collagen Actuation

What is MCA?

M.C.A. (Multitrepannic Collagen Actuation) is a non-surgical and entirely natural way of getting the body's own cells to regenerate and minimize wrinkles. This process can be used to relax constricted scars, plump the "valley" of wrinkles (causing them to fill in), and "white scars" can often be re-pigmented to better match the surrounding skin tones.

Performed correctly, MCA can even plump lip tissue and alleviate small unsightly wrinkles around the lip area. MCA is practically painless, completely risk- free and is a great alternative to injectable fillers such as Collagen injections and muscle relaxants such as Botox. The results of MCA are much longer-lasting and more affordable. Usually, only gifted and experienced individuals practicing MCA can achieve the best results.

Laser Spider Vein Removal

How does laser spider vein removal work?
Cosmetic Laser Studio's Fotona Nd:Yag laser has a wavelength of 1064 nanometers. This wavelength targets hemoglobin or blood. Each vessel is traced with pulses of laser light. As the energy is absorbed by the blood in the vessel, heat is created and the vessel wall is destroyed. The vein will die and the body will clear away the tissue as it would clear away a bruise. Treatments with Cosmetic Laser Studio's Fontona Nd:Yag laser require no anesthetics and no downtime, with very low risk of side effects. People with all skin colors can be safely treated.

How long will it take for my veins to disappear?
Each client's body will have its own time schedule for how quickly veins will be reabsorbed. This could range from days to weeks and possibly months.
