• Microneedling Treatment with PRP

  What is Microneedling? Microneedling, also known as Stem Cell Facial or a Vampire Facial when combined with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), is an effective technique for skin rejuvenation and can improve aged sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles, smokers lines around lips, skin tightening and rejuvenation, large pores, hair loss, stretch marks, and scars. Microneedling for hair loss, or alopecia areata, has been used with encouraging results. Stretch marks, acne scars, and under eye bags and discoloration can be treated extremely well with microneedling due to its ability to stimulate new collagen fibers. Microneedling Without Stem Cells Microneedling can also be performed without using stem cells for patients who do not wish to have, or feel uncomfortable with, a blood drawing. When using a microneedling pen, the treatment can feel like small pricks on the skin. Because Dr DeJuliis can regulate the depth of needle, the sensation can vary. Some discomfort can be felt for scars but over all, the treatment is very well tolerated, with little to no downtime. Make-up can be applied two to three hours after the procedure if desired. When can I expect results from microneedling? Significant results can be seen in six to eight weeks. Patients will require a number of treatments, based on the skin concern. The average number is three to four treatments, one every three weeks. Acne scars and stretch marks need more sessions, on average five or six. Sun block effective against UVB and UVA rays is a must after each microneedling treatment. Medical microneedling is performed by a physician and is no comparison to similar treatments done in a spa by an aesthetician or with at-home microneedling devices. For those patients who would like to combine skin tightening via radio-frequency (RF) with microneedling, then Vivace might be an option. DrD tailors all treatments based on the patient’s desired outcome and can advise if Vivace is a better treatment option. Used in conjunction with PRP, microneedling is very good for melasma and dark circles as it has a ‘blanching’ effect and breaks up skin pigmentation by suppressing the production of melanocytes. Stretch marks can benefit from microneedling using PRP and RF (radiofrequency) energy in order to stimulate new collagen fibers. Multiple sessions are needed to achieve tangible results. Microneedling Pen The microneedling pen uses micro needles to make tiny openings in the skin and stimulate collagen production. For better results, Dr DeJuliis uses the patient’s own stem cells (or PRP) that are obtained after a simple blood drawing done in the comfort and privacy of her Medical Spa. Scientific research has shown that when stem cells are applied to the skin after creating the micro channels, the patient can see better and faster results.

• Vivace Treatment

  What is Vivace? Vivace combines traditional microneedling with radio-frequency (RF) technology. These two actions stimulate the natural production of collagen and are effective in alleviating facial wrinkles, fine lines, as well as tightening and toning the face, neck, hands and body. The RF technology provides heat that stimulates collagen production which has been found to lead to tighter, younger-looking skin. Vivace offers various settings that can be tailored to correct aged skin, stimulate collagen production and, above all, encourage skin tightening. Dr DeJuliis started using FDA-approved Vivace on patients in January 2019, and she has seen great results for the face, neck, arms, stomach, and decolletage. Vivace is a very well-tolerated microneedling treatment that will leave the skin refreshed and radiant. When the treating needles need to reach deeper into the skin, a topical anesthetic can be used, depending on the patient’s preference. Dr. DeJuliis offers Vivace with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), using the patient’s own blood for those who desire a faster and deeper collagen stimulation. Once the plasma has been separated from the red cells, it can be either injected into the skin (preferred for deep wrinkles, acne scars and stretch marks) or applied over the skin immediately after the microneedling, allowing its absorption through the microscopic opened channels. The final step in the treatment is the application of a specialized soothing mask which promotes faster healing with less skin irritation and redness. The results with Vivace are immediate and improve over time as new collagen continues to be produced. Patients will usually require about three treatments to see optimal results.

Botox treatment, even if it is used for cosmetic reasons, is a medical procedure and as such should be performed in a medical setting after careful review of a patient’s medical history, and a thorough analysis of the facial anatomy, including facial expressions and muscles movement. Dr. Aurora DeJuliis is a Medical Doctor with extensive training and expertise in using Neuromodulators like Botox or Xeomin to soften lines that are created by hyperactive muscles. Botox works in weakening key muscles responsible for certain expression lines and wrinkles. But one has to remember that lines do not go away but are simply redirected in different facial areas. This is why it is important to choose a medical provider that has great knowledge of facial muscles.

• Kybella

  Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved nonsurgical treatment that contours and improves the appearance of submental (chin) fullness, sometimes referred to as a ‘double chin’. Submental fullness can occur in both men and women and is often caused by genetics, weight gain, and aging. The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body which aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath your chin, it causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those fat cells cannot store or accumulate fat. The treatment takes 15 to 20 minutes in our tranquil office. As each chin and patient is different, Dr DeJuliis tailors the treatment so you can achieve your chin profile goals.

• Chemical Peels & Glycolic Peels

  Chemical Peels Chemical peels can be used for various skin conditions. They are an alternative to laser treatments for those patients who are not ready for laser or have minor skin problems and desire a refreshed look. Chemical peels vary in strength and composition. Stronger chemical peels, made of a specific composition of acids reach deeper under the surface layer of skin for an effective skin resurfacing. These chemical peels are indicated for acne scars, sun-damaged skin, wrinkles, and a dull complexion. They should always be applied by a physician, and may result in slight redness, or flaking of the skin. Glycolic Peels Glycolic (70% strength) and lactic acid peels are very popular in our medical spa. They are indicated for mild skin imperfections, pigmentations, acne, dry and sun-damaged skin and melasma. They work on the cement that keeps old skin cells glued together on the surface of the skin, permitting their gentle sloughing off in order to reveal the fresh looking skin underneath. With these peels the skin looks great right after without any flaking or downtime. Lactic Peels Lactic acid peels are very natural and made of fermented sugar or sour milk. It is a natural product derived from milk. It is composed of alpha hydroxyl acids, so it works on dead skin cells by loosening up the cement that keeps dead cells “glued” together on the surface of the skin. Lactic acid is similar to glycolic acid in its composition but it is milder on the skin, making it the perfect product for sensitive skin. Lactic acid peels are great for helping to fade hyperpigmentation and melasma. They work well with oily or dry skin and are great for mature complexion. Although home products are available, the best results are always obtained in a medical setting as doctors are allowed to use peels with a higher lactic acid concentration which makes them more effective and safer under a doctor’s supervision. At the Aurora DeJuliis MD European Medical Spa in Montclair, NJ, we use lactic acid peels with a concentration about 50%. Depending on the clients’ skin needs a series of 6-10 treatments are necessary to achieve the best results. At our medical spa, lactic or glycolic peels are painless and are performed along with a soothing facial mask. They are downtime free and do not leave the skin irritated or flaking.

• Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatments

  Skin Laser Treatments Wrinkles, sun damage, rosacea, spider veins, unwanted hair, melasma, acne scars, and much more can be treated at our medical spa using a variety of skin laser treatments. These cosmetic laser treatments involve the use of IPL Laser, Fractional Laser and YAG. Each cosmetic laser treatment works at a different level to stimulate collagen production under the skin, giving you a more youthful appearance. Our Fractional Laser is a highly specialized laser which targets collagen cells using micro beams of light. This state-of-the-art technology is effective in skin resurfacing and can treat: melasma, acne scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, sun damage, and skin discoloration. In just two sessions, you can expect to see results with minimal downtime. The YAG Laser uses a coherent bundle of laser light that can reach the deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and repairing damaged collagen fibers which results in smoother, more youthful-looking skin. An increase in collagen production also improves the skin’s appearance by making large pores drastically smaller and tighter. YAG Laser also has the ability to reach deep blood vessels enabling the elimination of bluish veins and deep capillaries. YAG laser light can be safely used for any skin type and color. Multi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF) delivers fast, pain-free, homogeneous heating to various depths under the skin. RF is a ground-breaking technology that causes contraction of existing collagen and, at the same time, stimulates new collagen fibers. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) laser technology (sometimes called Photofacial) can be used to diminish any aesthetically displeasing epidermal and dermal irregularities on the face, hands and body. Unsightly photo aging, melasma, rosacea, capillaries, hyperpigmentation, acne scars and wrinkles respond particularity well to this anti-aging service. IPL treatments are easy to tolerate and carry no associated downtime. It takes about four to six weeks after an IPL treatment for all of the new collagen to come to the surface of the skin. Your skin will look radiant, smoother and more youthful!

• Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

  Bioidentical hormones (BHRT) are a natural alternative to well-known prescribed hormone replacement treatments. Bioidentical hormones are derived from plants and are compounded by licensed pharmacies and used to replace a woman’s natural hormones that are decreased or lost during and after menopause. They differ from pharmaceutical hormone replacements because their chemical structure resembles the natural human hormones. By contrast the pharmaceutical ones, usually derived from pregnant horses, have a very different chemical structure from the human hormones. Bioidentical hormones are very safe and can be made into creams (most popular) or pills, according to the individual preference. Since they are medications, a regular prescription from a physician is required. Hormone replacement is not unique to women; men can suffer from lack of testosterone as well. Natural testosterone is available from compounding pharmacies.

• Nonsurgical Cellulite Treatments

  Traditional cellulite treatment involves surgery. Thanks to a new technique performed at her medical spa in Montclair New Jersey, Dr Aurora DeJuliis can reduce the appearance of cellulite without surgery! Cellulite is an unsightly skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Characterized by the classic orange peel appearance, it is partly genetic and partly due to hormonal changes and lifestyle. With time cellulite can evolve into depressions into the skin. This is particularly evident in the buttock and thighs. These classic depressions are difficult to treat because they are held in place by thick fibrous bands that pull the underlining connective tissue tightly in place. Until recently there were very few non-surgical options for correction of cellulite depressions. Dr DeJuliis at the Aurora DeJuliis MD European Medical Spa is one of a handful number of doctors certified and trained in the use of an off-label FDA-approved filler that when injected in a diluted form has the ability to work as a bio-stimulator of collagen production. During the procedure Dr DeJuliis uses special needles to gently and painlessly cut the fibrous bands responsible for the skin depression. The results are visible immediately; there is minimal bruising. The patient is not required to wear any special garment afterwards, and the only recommendation is to avoid strenuous exercise for twenty-four hours after the procedure. Instant lift, definition and correction.
