NEW YORK, Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- When a person hits a "certain" age, maintaining a youthful look becomes a demanding routine. Botox, filler, and laser treatments can be expensive and time consuming. SmoothMED, the only walk-in facial rejuvenation center in Manhattan, has implemented a new approach to facial maintenance. It's called SmoothInsure.

SmoothInsure is a way for patients to save time and money by focusing on a specific trouble area of the face and buying an insurance package of annual care. For instance, if the wrinkles around your eyes (crow's feet) are the bane of your existence, SmoothInsure for the eye area would be an option. One payment would cover enough Botox, laser treatments, and peels to take care of your crow's feet for the duration of the year. Alternatively you may hate those "smoker's lines" around your mouth and want a care plan that covers filler to slightly plump your lips, lasers for the oral wrinkles, and Botox to relax the wrinkles to minimize fine lines.

Let's break it down in a simple example annually:

Botox for smokers lines = 10 units, 4 x a year = 40 units. Regular pricing $800.
1/2 syringe of filler for lips twice a year = $1,000
Four laser rejuvenation treatments for lip area = $1,400

Total annual cost would routinely be $3,200, but if you opted for a SmoothInsure package for the lips, it would only cost $2,700 for a $500 savings for the year. Plus the insurance that you also get the added benefit of free Botox touch-ups around the mouth, up to 1/2 an extra syringe of filler, and an extra laser rejuvenation treatment if needed around the mouth.

And of course, there is always the convenience and time saving SmoothMED hours that allow you to walk-in after work or on a lunch hour or make an appointment at your convenience.

SmoothInsure packages are available for the eye area, forehead and for full face rejuvenation.
