Rejuvenate Your Face & Neck

At Sylvana, we take a different approach to aesthetics by personalizing our treatment programs based on your goals and which aspects of  your appearance are most important to you. Then we suggest a treatment program that utilizes one or more products and procedures to help you accomplish those goals!

Dr. Jeanne O’Connell, M.D., founder of the Sylvana Institute, constantly updates her techniques and services, and combines these tools with her artistic touch to give her patients exceptional results!

Here are some of the services available to reduce the signs of aging:

Fraxel®
Rediscover the fresh, healthy skin of your youth
Fraxel Laser Treatment targets older, more damaged skin by creating microscopic disruptions within the targeted areas that penetrate well beneath the skin's outermost layer. This triggers the body's own natural production of new collagen and skin cells. And because Fraxel combines the impact of more invasive lasers with the gentleness of safer, non-invasive lasers, healing is fast with minimal downtime.

Fraxel can:

  • Improve texture tone and pore size
  • Erase unwanted brown spots
  • Smooth wrinkles around the eyes
  • Reduce acne scars
  • Rejuvenate your neck, chest and hands

Pearl®
New healthy, vibrant skin with a "pearl-like" glow
Pearl is a new laser procedure for treating sun damage, uneven texture, brown spots, and fine lines with minimum downtime and risk.  It’s ideal for patients of almost any age searching for a safe and uncomplicated way to restore the skin's youthful look and feel with just one or two treatments.

During the approximately 15-minute procedure, pulses of light are gently delivered to the epidermis. The laser simultaneously sends heat to the deeper layers of skin to stimulate longer-term collagen growth.  A natural protective layer then forms on the skin. The treated skin will look and feel slightly sunburned, but on the fifth day, the protective layer will peel away, leaving new, healthy, vibrant skin with a "pearl-like" glow.

In addition, we offer other types of laser therapies that even out skin tones and reverse sun damage.

BOTOX® Cosmetic
Remove Frown Lines & Soften Your Look

Years of squinting, laughing, frowning, smoking and worrying often cause the skin around the eyes and forehead to develop deep lines and wrinkles that can make you look older, tired or stressed.  In the past, these advanced furrows were difficult to treat.  However, Botox is a muscle-relaxing agent that can smooth those lines and make you look younger.

Dermal Fillers -  Restylane®, Radiesse® and Juvederm™
For Youthful, Plump Lips and Cheeks

These include Restylane ® and new, next-generation long-lasting fillers like Radiesse® and Juvederm™ that restore volume and fullness to your face by plumping up your lips and cheeks.  Dr. O’Connell has also been specially trained in the VolumaLift™. With this procedure, she uses the filler that best meets the patient’s needs –- along with her artistry –-  to give patients natural, full cheeks and diminish lines and sagging around the mouth and jowls. In short, it recaptures the contours of youth safely, effectively and non-surgically.

Vibraderm™
Smooth & Brighten Your Complexion

Vibraderm is the new generation of Microdermabrasion.  It uses a high vibration paddle to gently exfoliate the skin. Vibraderm technology is similar to a high–vibration toothbrush that vibrates away the plaque build-up on teeth.  Similarly, Vibraderm vibrates away dead skin cells and stimulates production of new collagen in the deepest layers of the skin.

PhotoDynamic Therapy
Experience Dramatically More Beautiful Skin

We use our advanced light systems and topical applications of Levulan ® (aminolevulinic acid), to restore a more youthful appearance to your skin by efficiently treating redness, flushing, pigmentary problems, scars and wrinkles. The result of PhotoDynamic Therapy is dramatically smoother, healthier, younger-looking skin. Treatments are strategically spaced, and recovery includes moderate stinging and redness.

Chemical Peels
Freshen & Rejuvenate Your Skin
These are topically applied formulations that help restore and rejuvenate your skin’s surface.  The result is a uniform and controlled shedding of several layers of the skin where damage is most apparent.  Depending on the nature and depth of the chemical peel, a significant number of layers can be exfoliated, which exposes new growth and fresh, vibrant skin.

Titan™ Laser
For a more Youthful Complexion and Firmer Skin

The Titan Laser rejuvenates the skin at a deep level by delivering light energy to the dermis.  This tightens the skin of the cheeks, jowls and forehead, so you have fewer lines, folds and loose skin.  It’s perfect for people who want a “lift” without surgery.

Laser Genesis Skin Therapy
For Vibrant and Healthy Skin
Laser Genesis uses non-invasive laser technology to safely, discretely and effectively treat fine-line wrinkles, large pores, uneven skin texture, diffuse redness and scars. 

You can expect subtle but consistent results after each treatment, without unwanted side effects such as bruising or excessive skin irritation. Treatments can be performed in a comfortable manner without the use of topical anesthetics or gel.

PhotofacialTreatments
Even out skin Tones, Reverse Sun Damage

PhotoFacials are a series of full face, gentle pulsed light treatments that improves the appearance of sun damaged and aged skin, and reduces facial and neck redness and flushing. It will also help improve photo-aging of the skin, age spots, irregular skin texture, some mild acne scars, large pores, dark circles around the eyes, and fine lines, especially around the eyes and mouth.  With PhotoFacial treatments, there is little or no down time.

DermaSweep

Firm and Tone Your Skin

DermaSweep is the latest innovation in skin rejuvenation, and is an alternative to traditional crystal microdermabrasion systems. DermaSweep gently lifts the skin surface as the device “sweeps away” the dead skin layer, resulting in a deeper exfoliation and polish of your skin.  The increased blood flow encourages collagen formation, thus firming and toning your skin.

Beauty Boost Facials

For a Fast Boost for Your Skin

Sylvana’s new Beauty Boost Facials combine the skin rejuvenating power of Vibraderm and DermaSweep with Sylvana Solution products to give you a radiant, healthy glow.  Choose from three Beauty Boost facials:

Calming to soothe acne and rosecea.

Firming for firmer, hydrated skin with a healthy glow

Deep Pore Cleansing to reduce oil and pore size without drying the skin.

And ask about our new "Medi-Pedis", which are a unique and luxurious pedicure treatment that use pharmaceutical grade products in a clean environment to leave even the most rough and calloused feet feeling soft and smooth.

Patient Testimonials

“I want to say “thank you” from my heart. I frequently have people say how young I look, and I think of you, my magicians behind the scene. Just know that you have helped to restore my self-confidence and now I can dine out without being concerned as to how the light falls on my face.

‘I feel pretty, oh so pretty,’ as the song says, and you are responsible for much of it. Thank you so much.”

Sandy K., Frederick

“There are lots of clinics that offer Botox®, but Dr. O’Connell uses a technique where she injects tiny amounts in strategic spots to smooth out the muscle twitches and so forth that age the face.  She creates amazing results!” 

Diane D., Frederick

"None of us like to look older, so I was thinking about a facelift. I don't like knives or hospitals, so when I heard about the alternatives Sylvana offers, I thought it was great!

"And Dr. O'Connell is honest and fair, she's not a salesperson... she'll advise against a procedure if she doesn't think I need it.  And she's very good at what she does. "After I had my first (of a series of three) chemical peels, when I walked into the office co-workers said  "you look great!"  and "you look healthy!"  They asked if I'd had my hair done...they knew something was different!

"I've had a number of procedures, including Botox® to relax the deep frown lines between my brows, the lines at the corner of my eyes and my laugh lines, Restylane® to fill out the deep creases and fine lines around my mouth, plus laser hair removal.

Now, sometimes when I'm dressed up and my boyfriend and I are going out to dinner, he just looks at me and says "you look really pretty!"

"I had dinner with a friend the day I'd had a Vibraderm™ treatment and she commented that my skin looked beautiful! She decided to get one, too!" 

Marilyn J., Frederick
