The FirstLine Therapy Difference—It Works

There are three key reasons that make FirstLine Therapy® (FLT) different than conventional lifestyle programs:

1. FLT is about more than just weight loss.
• FLT can help you lose unhealthy fat while retaining healthy, lean muscle.
• FLT integrates body composition testing (fat & lean tissue ratios)-because being thin doesn't necessarily mean you're healthy.
• An imbalance in body composition (gaining too much fat or losing too much muscle) can lead to serious health problems such as high blood pressure, altered cholesterol levels, etc.
• Loss of muscle results in loss of ability to burn calories, which makes it much more difficult to maintain weight loss over time.
• FLT focuses on lifestyle factors that are the underlying cause of many health problems.

Skin Care

CCWM offers several Aesthetic Services including:

Botox® Cosmetic has been used safely and effectively for more than fifteen years to treat medical conditions where overactive muscles require relaxation. In 2001, BOTOX® Cosmetic received FDA approval for cosmetic purposes and has become a leading treatment for reversing the visible signs of aging by relaxing facial muscles, which cause many of our wrinkles. BOTOX® Cosmetic is also used to control hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and in the treatment of migraine headaches.

Restylane is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to correct moderate to severe facial characteristics such as wrinkles and folds that are caused by sun damage, loss of collagen, and smoking.

JuvédermTM is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.

VolumaLiftTM a procedure that is designed to bring back youthful beauty, vitality and attractiveness through the volumetric replacement of soft tissue that has been lost with age. The VolumaLift™ is a volumetric facelift, restoring "the fullness of youth" safely, effectively and non-surgically. As the name itself implies, the VolumaLift™ produces a "rested" and "lifted" look.

FotoFacial RF Revolutionary new treatment delivering intensely pulsed white light (IPL), not laser, to various areas of skin with intent to improve imperfections of texture, color and tone, leaving skin healthy and glowing. The long term benefit of stimulating healthy collagen production gives the skin a more youthful appearance. Biopsies have shown that this procedure sets the biological clock back by 10 years.

Fotobody RF Treatments improve the texture and tone of the hands, forearms and chest erasing wrinkles, spots and the drooping caused by sun damage and aging.

Certified ReFirme™ Skin Tightening procedures using the safe and effective elos™ technology enable clients to achieve a tightened and firmer appearance without surgery or downtime. After the procedure, new collagen growth can produce further tightening and a more youthful look.

Glycolic Therapy utilizes varying strengths of glycolic acid to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. In lower strengths the treatment exfoliates, and in higher strengths it is used as a mild peel. Unlike a chemical peel, glycolic therapy produces changes gradually with minimal impact on an individual's appearance and daily schedule.

Skin Rejuvenation (IPL) with elosT technology procedures can gently and significantly reduce and improve the appearance of rosacea, spider veins, and other skin imperfections to return a youthful healthy appearance to aging or damaged skin.

Acne Treatments Acne occurs when the sebaceous oil gland around a hair follicle becomes clogged with oil and dead cells producing bacteria. This leads to infection and painful and embarrassing acne blemishes. Using ethosT bi-polar technology, we offer one of the most advanced acne treatments available today.

Chemical Peels Sometimes called chemical resurfacing, are chemical treatments that can improve the appearance of facial skin. Chemical peels are used to treat sun damage, discoloration, wrinkles, and scarring. We offer a range or chemical peels from exfoliation to medium peels.

Laser Hair Removal Enhance your natural image with the latest medical technology. Experience one-on-one caring and individualized consultations for medically based procedures.

Laser Vein Therapy Laser treatment is a safe, effective, quick, and gentle method for removal of unwanted blood vessels (veins). One to three laser treatments can greatly improve the appearance of skin which is disfigured by unwanted blood vessels.
