N-Lite™ ("lunch-time" peel) - Stimulation of collagen production by gentle laser light application to wrinkles of face and neck - painless & quick, but takes 2 treatments, and months for full stimulation of collagen production and final visual results.

Microdermabrasion - Abrasion treatments of face, neck, chest, hand and forearm skin which is damaged, discolored or wrinkled, done in the office without anesthesia, to gently remove outer layers of the skin and provide softer, smoother skin with more even color (excellent for "age spots" on the hands and forearm). Usually done in package of 4-6 treatments at weekly intervals (with monthly maintenance treatments thereafter to maintain result).

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Treatment - Application of gentle light beam energy to the face and neck (and chest) to stimulate collagen production and lighten discolored skin. Usually recommended as a course of 4-6 treatments for maximum results.

Fat Injections - There’s nothing like one’s own tissue to fill in defects. Your fat can be harvested by a modified liposuction technique, and then injected into folds, lines or “dents”, or used to “plump” lips, reverse the “sunken” look in cheeks or hands, or correct contours (even for buttock augmentations!); smaller areas can be done in our office operatory, but these are surgical procedures. Dr. Scheu has been doing these for almost ten years.

Glycolic Peels - The use of topical glycolic acid has been shown to accentuate natural exfoliation, leaving skin feeling softer and looking smoother. We use a high percent concentration of the glycolic acid, applied to the face as a peel, to boost the benefits of your daily skin care program, and as an adjunct to microdermabrasion treatments where indicated, for the best non-invasive facial rejuvenation. Ask our staff about the details.

“Radiance” (“Radiesse”) - Technically called “calcium hydroxylapatite”, this filler material has been in use in the US for 3 years. For over a year now Dr. Scheu has been using this “filler” material to help lessen the depth of facial folds and wrinkles, and to help “plump” the lips. Unlike the short-acting collagen-type injections, this product can last up to two years. And no “skin test” is needed, because no allergic responses are possible .For those deep folds from the nose down toward the mouth, or to give more fullness to the lips, “Radiesse” may be a good option for you.

Captique - This new filler material product (containing hyaluronic acid microspheres) is best for fine lines in the lips and eyes, and can also help “plump up” the lips. The injections are done in the office, sometimes without needing anesthesia, and the effects last about 6 months.
