Fraxel Laser Treatment
Reverse years of sun damage, wrinkles, or acne scarring and achieve the fresh, healthy skin of your youth.
Infinity Skin and Spa was Eastern Iowa's first provider of the Fraxel Laser resurfacing treatment. Patients and staff alike are amazed with the results Fraxel can provide. This newest generation of laser technology removes pigmented lesions such as melasma, age spots and sunspots on the face, neck, chest and hands, in addition to smoothing wrinkles and scars.
Benefits of Fraxel Laser Treatment:
- Improve texture, tone and pore size
- Erase unwanted brown spots
- Smooth wrinkles and acne scars
- Rejuvenate your face, neck, chest, and hands
- Minimal downtime
Fraxel is uniquely designed to create thousands of microscopic thermal spots that form vertical columns of treated skin tissue that are separated and surrounded by unaffected, healthy skin. This innovative approach allows the doctor to treat only a small fraction of skin at a time so it heals much faster than if the entire area were treated at once. Moreover, and in contrast to ablative laser therapies, Fraxel Laser Treatment allows the creation of new epidermal skin in the treatment zones within 24 hours.
Safe and effective, the Fraxel laser is cleared by the FDA and has undergone extensive testing in the lab and out in the field. Based on her clinical experience, Dr. Schulz recommends four to six treatment sessions monthly for maximum results.

IPL Photorejuvenation
For Vessels and Brown Spots
IPL Photorejuvenation has been in use at Town Square Dermatology and Infinity Skin Care and Spa since 2003 and is hands down the most versatile instrument for skin rejuvenation available! You can get rid of wrinkles and creases with Botox and filler but if your complexion is full of red vessels and brown spots you will give away your age. IPL Photorejuvenation can be used on any part of the body and is extremely popular for the face, neck, chest, forearms and hands. A series of 3-4 treatments is needed for best results.

Thermage™
Finally, A Skinlift Without Surgery!
Discover the amazing results of Thermage Non-Surgical Skin Lift. No downtime, no needles, just results!
For the first time, women and men seeking a more youthful appearance have the option of an aesthetic procedure that does not require invasive surgery, chemicals or lasers.
Here's how it works: The Thermage Tissue Tightening Procedure is made possible by the ThermaCool System, a Radiofrequency-based device that heats the deeper layers of the skin while the top layers are protected by a cooling spray, causing collagen contraction and remodeling. The result is skin tightening without downtime.

"The prospect of treating sagging skin and wrinkles without incision or downtime meets the needs of patients who are looking for subtle improvement or who are not ready for a traditional facelift," explains Dr. Schulz.
What's more, this heating action causes the deep structures of skin to tighten immediately. Over time, collagen remodeling will further tighten skin and produce a more youthful appearance. Because Thermage targets the deep layers of skin, the firming results are more significant than superficial remedies for aging and sun-damage.
Infinity Skin Care and Spa offers an individualized treatment plan based on a patient's specific skin needs, and prides itself on its medically based, ethical and safe environment. The spa is conveniently located behind Town Square Center at 1100 Fifth Street, Suite 125 (across the parking lot from the New Pioneer Co-op). For more information or to schedule an appointment to discuss Thermage tissue tightening with Dr. Schulz or any other of the Infinity Skin Care and Spa staff, call 319-337-5355.
Body by Thermage
Introducing Body by Thermage™, a single treatment, non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that helps smooth, tighten and contour the thighs, tummy, arms, legs and buttocks without surgery or injections, and no downtime. Thermage™ works by tightening collagen deep in the skin and stimulating new collagen growth.
Results vary from subtle to dramatic. Generally, some improvement is immediately visible and continues for up to six months. Results can last for years depending on skin condition and the aging process.
Botox Cosmetic®
Quick, practically painless and no downtime! A pure form of botulinum toxin injected into key muscles surrounding the eyes and forehead relaxes the muscles and reduces wrinkles in motion. Patients who looked tired or angry from frown lines and crow's feet see remarkable improvements. No other treatment can give these results.
Why do we get wrinkles?
The lines that appear between your brows (frown lines) and around your eyes (crow's feet) actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time.
After years of crinkling and wrinkling, those frown lines and crow's feet start to linger longer and become more pronounced. We encourage men and women to start low dose Botox Cosmetic before wrinkles state, to prevent them.
Treatments to the frown lines, crow's feet or forehead are the most common, but other areas of the face can be treated as well. Treatment with BOTOX Cosmetic can visibly smooth and soften these wrinkles in most cases. An improvement can be seen within days and lasts up to 3-4 months, although results may vary.
Injectable Fillers
Who says there's no such thing as a "quick-fix" for wrinkles and aging?
Injectable fillers are just exactly that. With the use of injectable fillers you see same day results and that means same day satisfaction. It's instant gratification for your skin! To get your instant results, remember to make your appointment as soon as possible, as filler appointments do book quickly at Infinity.
First time filler patients may have a slightly longer appointment than repeat filler patients for which the injection process takes only about 15-30 minutes. With filler, results are immediate and there's minimal recovery or downtime. You can resume normal activities immediately following the procedure. Dr. Schulz will guide you in choosing your filler and provide her opinions on proper injection sites and treatment amounts.
Restylane and Perlane
Restylane or Perlane are cosmetic dermal fillers that replace lost volume and restore youthful contours to the skin to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. Restylane is the world's most-used, most-studied dermal filler and has been used in over 70 countries and in more than 1.4 million treatments in the U.S. Restylane provides nearly immediate results that can take years off the face in just a few minutes. Dr. Schulz's practice was one of the first in the area to provide Restylane. Restylane contains hyaluronic acid, and results should last about 6 months. The difference between the two? While both contain hyaluronic acid, Perlane is comprised of larger particles and is specifically intended to be injected deeper into the skin. Perlane also lasts about 3 months longer than Restalane.

Juvéderm™
Juvéderm is a smooth-consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration.
Juvéderm is a filler from the makers of Botox Cosmetic. It works well to restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).

Radiesse®
Radiesse is a safe, cosmetic dermal filler that offers longer lasting results. Radiesse works over time and encourages the natural production of collagen. It is setting a new standard for the correction of facial lines and wrinkles, restoring a natural, youthful look in an easy, convenient treatment. Like most fillers, the results of a Radiesse treatment are immediate and Radiesse dermal filler typically lasts a year or more. Unlike Juvederm, Restylane and Perlane, Radiesse is made up of calcium-based microspheres that are suspended in a water gel. Since results may vary, be sure to discuss your expectations with Dr. Schulz. For more information, see www.radiesse.com.
Volumalift
Volumalift is a non-invasive, extremely safe treatment that provides volume restoration of the face to provide a lift in key areas of aging. Larger volumes of filler are utilized to replace volume loss throughout the face. The technique maximizes volume while minimizing use of filler.
If you appear "tired", sunken, deflated or hollowed, then you may be a good candidate for Volumalift, which works well to restore volume to cheeks, brows, under-eyes, and lips.
Volumalift results are instant and will last around 6-12 months depending on the filler used.
