What Is a Med Spa?

Botox

Dr. Montano is the only professional in the Woodland Park area who provides Botox services. This neurotoxin was first used in the 1980’s to treat facial muscle spasms, but it was quickly discovered to have the pleasant side effect of eliminating wrinkles in the faces of the patients being treated. Botox is also FDA approved to treat Migraine Headaches, and TMJ.

PDO Threads

 No one wants to look as old as we are. Unfortunately, sometimes we do because of poor genetics, smoking, drinking or even sun damage. The PDO thread lift is a pretty revolutionary treatment that instantly results in skin lifting. The PDO threads are inserted into the appropriate layer of skin via a blunt tip needle. Once inserted, the threads act as anchors as the skin is lifted upwards. The threads also contract the fat tissue that results in tighter skin. Finally, the PDO lift promotes collagen production and revascularization at the cellular level. All these attributes combine to give you supple skin texture, reduced fine lines, fewer wrinkles and greater skin elasticity. The in-office, chairside procedure takes anywhere from to 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes to complete, and you can return to work or play immediately afterwards.

Dermal Fillers

As we age, facial tissues thin out, lines around the mouth and nose become more prominent and cheeks begin to look more gaunt or hollow. Dermal Fillers are basically gel like substances that are injected beneath the skin's surface to restore volume, smooth lines and soften creases and laugh lines to restore a more youthful appearance.

PRP Therapy

PRP is a natural product created from your own body. A small amount of blood is drawn and placed in a sterile tube that is spun in a centrifuge to separate the different components of the blood. Red and white blood cells are divided from the platelets and the plasma. This plasma now contains a higher than normal number of platelets and is called platelet rich plasma, or PRP. Platelets are the cells that help tissue to heal and grow new cells. When injected into the skin, The PRP creates collagen and regenerates tissue. In this way, PRP softens wrinkles and creates smoother skin texture and tone. PRP for hair loss is a three-step process treatment in which a person’s blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the areas on the scalp that need increased hair growth. The treatment is repeated 3 times, 7 weeks (about 1 and a half months) apart.

Micro needling

Micro needling is a minimally invasive procedure for your skin. Your provider uses thin needles to make tiny holes in the top layer of your skin. The resulting damage helps to stimulate your skin’s own healing process, so it produces more collagen and elastin. This results in firm and smooth skin. Micro needling can be used if you have concerns about enlarged pores, fine lines or wrinkles, loose or crepey skin, minor acne or burn scars, skin discoloration and stretch marks.
