Permanent eyeliner and brows

Are you aware that the 1st physician in the state of California to do permanent eyeliner is the senior member of the staff at Face Beautiful?

Dr. Antle (me) has been doing permanent eyeliner since 1983. I taught courses in it for several years to other physicians and nurses. Over the years, the eyeliner and brow business has gradually migrated out of the surgeon’s office into the domain of the beauty shop, and independent home practitioner.

Although many of these practitioners do a good job, we continue to see absolute horror stories. Be warned! Many non medical personnel, doing permanent eyeliner, have caused scarring, injured eyes, and produced some really terrible results. In addition, the procedure is often extremely painful since they are unable by law to properly anesthetize the eyes.

At face beautiful, we treat this as surgical procedure. We sedate you, and numb the eyelids complete so that the procedure is virtually pain less. The results are awesome. In the consultation we color match to your eyes and brows. The cost in our office is actually less than what many times is charged at beauty shops and home salons.

It is much easier to place the pigment, than to remove it. Keep this in mind when you are selecting the practitioner to beautify your eyelids. As an added bonus, the procedure can often be done at the same time as blepharoplasty, making a dramatic beautification of the eyelids all in one swoop.

Lasers with the Sciton Profile Laser

Our goal is to obtain the most advanced and effective
technology in our practice.


Last year we introduced the Sciton Profile. This multiplatform laser provides a vast variety of benefits in the skin.

From superficial skin damage, brown spots, fine lines, large pores, acne scars to skin laxity, all can be treated with Sciton Profile Laser. Deep skin tightening (Skintyte™), skin replacement and tightening (Profractional™) and broadband, IPL (brown and red skin purification), can be combined to produce super results.

Do you feel your skin is getting loose,
but you are not ready for a face lift?


Skin Tyte™ uses infrared light energy to heat the deep skin tissues without any pain. This leads to the formation of new collagen in deeper skin layers. It is ideal for those individuals that are noticing some loose skin around the jaw line and the neck but do not want to have surgery. It is also ideal for those who want to prevent future laxity of the skin. It can be done as a stand alone procedure or combined with Thermage™ for facial contouring.

How about uneven skin tone, brown spots,
broken capillaries and sun damaged skin?


Treatments without down time!

Photorejuvenation (Photofacial) uses intense pulses of light that help improve broken capillaries, brown spots and pore size. The procedure for the face takes about 5-10 minutes. It has little or no down time and one may return to normal activities immediately after the treatment. It can be used to treat the entire body.

Want to look your best for an upcoming party with only one treatment?

Micro Laser Peel uses a computer controlled superficial Erbium laser that treats only the very top layer of your skin. After the treatment the skin usually looks red and flaky which resolves in a few days. It does wonders for the fine lines, pores and superficial skin discolorations.

If you don’t mind a short down time and want to improve acne scars, fine wrinkles and skin texture, Fractional Lasers are the ideal treatments.

Profractional and Fraxel lasers use fractionated laser technology to treat deeper layers of your skin with minimal down time. Fractionated technology means that the laser energy is delivered in small doses, allowing the skin to heal much faster. On average 3-5 treatments are needed. This treatment does miracles for the neck and the chest, especially for those with crepe skin on the chest and neck.

How about leg veins?

Using a combination of laser leg vein removal and injections most of the unsightly leg veins can be treated. One needs to come in for a pre procedure consultation and after evaluation the treatment can be scheduled.
