Frequently Asked Questions

What is BOTOX Treatment?
Botox is a non-surgical, FDA-approved cosmetic treatment that helps smooth the deep, persistent lines that may develop between your brows over time.

What is pulsed-light hair removal?
In this procedure, an aesthetician moves a handheld wand over specific skin areas, focusing intense pulses of light onto the hair follicles. Pigments in the follicles absorb the light and convert it into heat that disables the cells responsible for growing new hair.

Any area but that around the eyes may be treated. Legs and backs typically require less than 30 minutes. Hair in smaller areas - underarms, the upper lip or the bikini line - can be removed even more quickly.

What are the common types of skin cancer?

Basal Cell Carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer. It occurs most frequently on sun-exposed regions of the body. This cancer can destroy surrounding tissue but rarely spreads to other organs. Indicators include an open sore, a reddish patch, a growth with an elevated border and a central indentation, a bump or nodule and a scar-like area.

Melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer that invades melanocytes, the cells that produce dark protective pigments called melanin. Individual lesions may appear as a dark brown, black or multicolored growth, with irregular borders that may become crusted and may bleed.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma is a major type of cancer which arises from the superficial layer (epithelium) of the skin and mucous membranes. It may penetrate and destroy underlying tissues. Signs include scaly red patches, elevated growth with central depression, wart-like growths, nodules and open sores. All these indicators may develop a crusted surface or bleed.

What can M.D. Forte products do for me?
M.D. Forte contains high Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) which exfoliates surface skin by gently loosening the bonds that hold cells together. This increases moisture, making skin softer and smoother within a few days and further enhancing it with continuing use.

M.D. Forte products are not sold at cosmetic centers or pharmacies. They can be purchased directly at any of our offices.
