Aesthetic Services
At IMGI, we believe that a person’s physical and emotional health are closely intertwined. In fact, the more comfortable and confident a person is with one’s appearance, the more likely one is to exhibit a positive, life-affirming attitude – which is itself an essential ingredient to achieving and enjoying optimal health.
As we get older, however, we face a variety of skincare challenges. For example, the aging process often causes the formation of lines in the face – the so-called marionette lines – which give the impression of a permanent frown. This can unintentionally radiate a feeling to others that you are angry or upset, when that is not at all the case. This scowling effect is heightened if deep frown lines settle into the forehead between the eyebrows.
Sometimes brown spots, acne “pitting,” or excessive redness on the face can be distracting and prevent others from appreciating you for who you really are. Other times, they make the person with those features excessively self-conscious and withdrawn. Some are embarrassed to extend a hand in a handshake because their skin is so mottled in appearance. Oftentimes acne and rosacea sufferers develop severe depression because of the “unsightly” appearance of their skin.
At IMGI we do not believe that these are trivial issues, and we treat such problems with the same commitment and seriousness we apply to other areas of women’s healthcare. This means, above all else, that we are results driven. We are focused intently on providing visible, long-term results.
What exactly does this mean? First, we always strive to achieve maximum results with the minimum amount of treatment and expense. If a skin peel or micro-dermabrasion will yield results similar to a more expensive laser procedure, then that is what we will recommend. Second, whatever procedure you decide upon will be performed so as to achieve the best, longest lasting results. Frequently, this entails preparing the skin in advance with prescription-grade skincare products. After the procedure is completed, we recommend a care regimen to maintain your new look for as long as possible. All of our skincare products are of the highest quality and include an all organic line.
All of this is done in an environment stressing safety and quality. Our laser operators are experienced and laser certified. The dermal fillers and Botox are injected by skilled, experienced operators, including Huguette Hoffman, RN and Felice Gersh, MD.
How do you get started along the path to a younger looking, more attractive complexion? Most patients begin this journey with a free, complementary visit to our aesthetician, Kris Murray, or our aesthetic nurse, Huguette Hoffman. Drawing on their many years of experience in the art of skincare, they evaluate your skin’s condition and make detailed recommendations designed to keep it looking youthful, vibrant and refreshed. Together, you then decide upon a course of treatment that is both results oriented and affordable. As skin health and appearance is a reflection of inner health, patients should also see Dr. Gersh for a medical assessment. Skin health and aging are powerfully affected by lifestyle issues such as diet, exercise, environmental
toxin exposures. We are excited to assist you in your aesthetic journey.
