1. BOTOX
- - BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical, treatment that can temporarily
smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18
to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA). One short treatment - a few tiny injections
- and within days there is a noticeable improvement in those persistent
forehead lines. The results can last up to four months.

An exciting new use for Botox has been recently approved by the FDA. This
use addresses the problem of hyperhidrosis or excessive perspiration. This
is a debilitating condition that has been treated topically in the past.
Once this condition is diagnosed by a medical professional, treatments with
Botox may begin. Magruder Aesthetics Center is pleased to have Dr. Ivan
Tarle who is qualified to administer Botox for this condition.
2. FACIAL FILLING PROCEDURES:
Collagen is actually part of the natural support structure of your skin.
Wrinkles form when this natural collagen thins. This loss is primarily a
factor of aging; but exposure, pollution, health, heredity and lifestyle
also play roles. Without enough collagen, wrinkles and lines start to form
wherever the skin moves. For problems such as these, a professional at Magruder
Aesthetics Center may make a recommendation for facial filling procedures
such as collagen and Restylane which are designed to restore volume and
fullness in the identified problem areas. The selected treatment is injected
directly into the skin in tiny amounts by an ultrafine needle, resulting
in minimal discomfort. The procedure is simple and convenient, and results
are visible immediately. The treatment area will be anesthetized appropriately.
3. MICRODERMABRASION :
A process also referred to as Particle Skin Resurfacing, this treatment
is a non-invasive, non-surgical, procedure that uses a highly controlled
spray of fine crystals to remove the outer layer of skin and reveal the
younger, tighter, and more radiant skin underneath. This is a modern, safe,
and virtually painless alternative to harsh chemical treatments.
The average procedure takes less than 30 minutes, depending upon the skin
condition, the area to be treated, and the desired outcome. Many will notice
improvements in the texture and appearance of their skin immediately after
the first treatment.
4. SCLEROTHERAPY:
Spider veins are those tiny purple and red blood vessels found most commonly
on the thighs or lower legs of women. Varicose veins are larger. They can
appear raised with a bluish color and can become quite painful. Your spider
veins and varicose veins can be eliminated permanently through a simple
office procedure called sclerotherapy.
During the procedure, a sclerosing solution is injected into the vein through
a micro-needle. The tiny needle causes very little pain. The solution displaces
the blood within the vein and causes the vein to blanch and gradually disappear.
A typical treatment may take up to one hour. Patients are usually encouraged
to resume normal activities immediately.
5. PHOTOREJUVENATION:
An exciting new procedure in the aesthetics industry, the intermittent pulse
light (IPL) treatment that simultaneously treats the problems of photo-aged
skin, age spots (sun-induced freckles), most benign brown pigments, and
broken capillaries while giving the skin a tighter and younger look. It
selectively takes away those kinds of changes that develop with age. New
collagen forms in the skin, which gives it a smoother texture. Fine lines
and wrinkles will fade, and pores will be reduce up to 50% in size. Patient
with facial veins, Rosacea, or red cheeks should see results after the first
treatment. Treatments can take place on the lunch hour allowing the patient
to resume normal activities immediately.
6. PERMANENT HAIR REDUCTION
A problem for men and women alike, hair reduction treatment
is accomplished by the most up-to-date laser equipment available. The laser
pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to vaporize the pigment,
disabling numerous follicles at a time, to eliminate or significantly impede
the hairs' growth. The laser's "chilled tips" protect and cool
the upper layers of the skin before, during and after each pulse while directing
the laser energy to the root. The combination of skin cooling, laser frequency,
and pulse durations allow for safe and effective treatment of all skin types
and colors.
7. EYELID SURGERY:
Almost everyone develops some sagging around his or her
eyes. Loose excess skin, weak muscles or a combination of both causes sagging
of the upper lids. Repeated stretching causes the skin and muscles of the
upper eyelid to get longer. Also bags may develop under the eyes with age,
and even young people may have this problem.
The procedure called blepharoplasty is performed under local anesthesia
with mild sedation. Incisions in the eyelid are usually placed in the crease
above each eye to correct problems of the upper lid. To remove the fatty
deposits beneath the eyes, the incisions are placed just inside the lower
eyelid. Incisions are closed with tiny absorbable sutures.
DR. IVAN TARLE is an expert in this field and will welcome your call and
appointment for a consultation.
8. LASIK:
LASIK is an FDA approved laser refractive procedure to
correct a wide range of myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness)
and astigmatism. In LASIK a thin layer of the cornea is lifted to create
a flap. The laser sculpts the cornea, then the flap is returned for a quick,
natural recovery. The goal of LASIK is to help reduce your need for glasses
and contact lenses.
The procedure typically takes 15 minutes per eye and the patient can usually
return to work within 48 hours.
Dr. Kelly Herschel performs this procedure in the office and will welcome
your consultation for this important procedur
