Before any of the procedures below are performed, you will be seen in consultation with me. Your needs will be discussed and an honest evaluation of what we can do for you will be given. We will make sure that nothing is done to harm you. All procedures will be performed by either myself or an R.N. who is adequately trained and experienced in that procedure.

Say “Hello” to a ‘New You’ without surgery ... without discomfort ... in as little as three weeks.

First Care is now offering a breakthrough treatment to turn back the clock – The Titan™ Procedure. This is a safe, proven non-surgical procedure to tighten skin and reverse the signs of aging. Titan is the ideal solution for achieving younger and tighter-looking skin on the face and body ... without surgery!

Titan offers the following benefits...

	Tones, lifts and tightens skin in all areas including the face, abdomen, arms, and thighs – anywhere you have excess or loose skin.
	Comfortable ... requires no anesthesia.
	No down-time (or recovery time) with the Titan.
	Stimulates a natural collagen rebuilding process Collagen is comprised of fibers that are the skin’s support mechanism.
	Creates subtle, yet noticeable, rejuvenating skin improvements

What is Titan?
The Titan is the first light-based solution for tightening skin.  The Titan is unique in that it actually performs a non-surgical “face lift.”

Light pulsed from the Titan handpiece, shown at right, heats the deep dermal layers of the skin. Continuous cooling protects the epidermis, the skin’s upper layer, during the treatment.

Some patients experience immediate tightening right after the treatment.  However, most patients see results within a few months as new collagen forms fresher, younger looking skin.

Permanent hair removal from any body area

With the use of our Titan® laser, this is a painless procedure which may require 6 - 10 treatments. The final result is that the unwanted hair is gone forever.

Lasers are well suited for the removal of unwanted hair since they can be used as a non-invasive method to disable the hair structure without damaging the surrounding dermis and epidermis.

Our laser system is the first of its kind approved for use on all skin types and tanned skin. Independent control of laser pulse width and fluence allow effective treatment on a range of hair thicknesses, including the often difficult-to-treat finer hairs that are left by other systems after a number of treatments.

Removal of facial wrinkles, skin blotchiness, roughness, large pores & discoloration

Using a process called “Laser Genesis,” First Care personnel can help you literally turn back the aging clock and leave you with a more youthful appearance.

This type of skin rejuvenation is called non-ablative skin rejuvenation. It has experienced the greatest growth in the number of aesthetic procedures performed, growing 60% from 2001 to 2003 according to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery.

Laser Genesis™ is a unique non-ablative procedure that promotes healthy looking skin including the reduction of diffuse redness, reduced pore size and improved skin tone and texture. The procedure creates a gentle warming of the skin that our patients enjoy, and is truly a "no downtime" procedure.

Removal of sun spots, aging spots
or any other form of skin discoloration

These can be removed with our “Intelligent Pulsed Light System.” The pigmented areas are literally “erased” over a period of several treatments with the pulsed light.

As many as 90% of people age 65 years or older have solar lentigos, according to an article in Archive of Dermatology. These sun spots or age spots, as they are commonly called, are caused by chronic sun exposure.

Photo Genesis is an innovative way to quickly, safely and comfortably improve your skin’s texture, tone and color on your face, chest, arms, and hands, without gel or topical anesthetics. Signs of sun damage and age spots will usually flake off after one or two treatments, leaving clearer, younger- looking skin.

First Care personnel have special training for treating solar lentigines and age spots, while optimizing patient comfort and results. No gel is used for treatment, further improving patient comfort.

Removal of small veins,
red blood spots, spider veins and the like

Facial telangiectasia and unsightly blood vessels on the face can affect both men and women. This condition can be due to sun damage, smoking, heredity, hormones of other factors. While other treatments exist for these conditions, undesired cosmetic side-effect can occur, such as purpura.

We can treat a wide range of aesthetic vascular conditions at First Care, including facial telangiectasias as well as spider veins and reticular leg veins. Approximately 50% to 60% of men and women worldwide have unsightly leg veins. While sclerotherapy is an option for the removal of superficial leg veins, there are known side effects, and some veins will not respond. At First Care, we provide a safe and effective method of treatment for a wide range of leg veins ... all of which require no painful injections.

First Care is now offering microdermabasion as part of the aesthetic treatment process. This is actually a "feel good" procedure that removes the outer layer of dead skin from the face in order to allow better penetration and treatment with the laser and light therapy.

Vibradermabrasion
The new way to do microdermabrasion.

Vibradermabrasion Therapy produces exfoliation on any part of the body. The process is fast and very comfortable for the patients and produces exceptional results. Vibradermabrasion creates immediate results after just one treatment, but also starts to create new collagen in as few as three treatments.

Vibradermabrasion is a new method of removing dead skin tissue. In the past, machines have used small particles of Aluminum Oxide to "Sandblast" the skin. These machines treat a very small spot making it difficult to evenly treat a large area. They can also cause significant irritation. Vibraderm uses a large surface coated with fixed abrasives. Large areas can be treated evenly with less irritation. Studies have shown that Vibradermabrasion is more effective than microdermabrasion and patients prefer it.

Customer Testimonials
md formulations®

"I just wanted to drop a line and say THANK YOU! I have had problem/sensitive skin for a few years and have been suffering from mild adult acne (I am 29). Most of the products I have used either made the acne worse or produced side effects that were just as bad as the acne. I recently bought your sensitive skin kit and the Vita-A mask. In less than four days my skin started to improve and has gained a soft, glowing appearance and the darker spots that had appeared as a result of acne treatments have faded and seem to be well on their way to disappearing. My skin hasn't looked this good since high school! Your products have done in less than two weeks what dermatologists have not been able to do for five years! After spending well over $5,000 on COUNTLESS prescription drugs, professional treatments and doctor's appointments, not to mention all of the money on other skin care items that didn't work, it is refreshing to finally have something that works the way it says it does! THANKS AGAIN!" —Kimberly B.

"I want to thank you and send you praise for your Problem Skin line. I began to suffer from adult-onset acne at age 27....I at last tried Proactive Solution with no difference in my skin at all...Then I found MD Formulations. ... I really, truly, did see a difference the NEXT day. For all the praise and promises that skin care products make, I have never experienced such immediate and radical results. I had not experience results at all! I had given up and my self-esteem was affected terribly. I would avoid social situations because of my skin. I found this your product by accident and it has changed my skin into the skin everyone else promises that they can make it. I am so grateful, I cannot tell you." —Mary F.

"I feel so light and free. I almost forgot to put makeup on today - something which horrified me a week ago. I have hope for clear skin now. You have no idea what a gift that is for me. I have been a single parent since 1998 and I have just accepted a date from a man who has admired me since junior high. " —Nancy
