ARQUE DERMA
Pronounced ‘ARC DERMA,’ ArqueDerma® in Latin means ‘to inject the skin’. The name ArqueDerma® imparts a seamless mix of the artistic, ‘Arque’ (classical architecture – arches, buttresses, corbels), and medical science, ‘Derma’.
ArqueDerma® Artistic Restoration Lift® is an original, patented non-surgical face lift methodology developed by Leslie Fletcher, RN, MEP-C to deliver FDA approved dermal fillers such as Voluma™, Juvederm®, Restylane®, and Perlane® more effectively to the skin.
I recently tried this and I am totally wowed. I had no idea what to expect and thought I was just getting a little upkeep to stay lifted and fresh. But Arque Derma goes was deeper than that. It’s not about filling one little area or just plumping up your skin. The goal is deep, just like the description. One of my favorite people in the biz, Michele G. Messiah, PA-C, Board Certified Physician Assistant took excellent care of me and I was privileged to have the renown Leslie Fletcher consulting and giving me the inside scoop on this worthy procedure.
Arque Derma is something to plan for as you will most certainly bruise and not just your little freezer or filler spot here and there. You will need a good solid week to 10 days for the bruising to really subside – so make sure you follow all pre and post procedure protocol and plan for some downtime.
I can assure you it will all be worth it. The effects are incredible. I was treated in areas I never considered before or even thought of. As I get older, it seems my face in changing in subtle ways I am not even noticing, but these experts are. And yes, they are subtle – but it all adds up. So this Arque Derma, coupled with the Profound treatment I did in November (article comes out soon) with the phenom Dr. Ben Talei, are sure to hold me over for a good while.
I also fell in love with this place in general. They are full service, incredibly staffed with experts and KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. It’s a little drive from your usual Bev Hills, but 100 percent worth it.
ArqueDerma provides natural, more dramatic results not achievable using conventional filler techniques offered by most clinics. Unlike conventional volume replacement techniques, the ArqueDerma technique utilizes dermal fillers as strategic relocation vectors to redistribute and direct the patient’s own tissue toward the facial hollows that have formed. Using the ArqueDerma technique, we are able to collect your descended excess facial volume and redirect it to create a more youthful look to embellish your natural beauty.
The cost for a dermal filler procedure is usually charged per syringe. Utilizing your own descended volume allows us to use less dermal filler product, making the ArqueDerma technique more economical than conventional methods.
