Thanks to the refinement of a number of
dermatologic techniques, aged skin can be treated with a variety of
safe, effective procedures that improve the appearance of a patient's
skin and boost the patient's self-esteem.
Your doctor will design a
combination of treatment approaches based upon skin type,
medical history and the status of recent clinical studies.
The goals of treatment are to
minimize facial lines and winkles, improve skin integrity and improve skin radiance to a
younger
and healthier look.
Laser
Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing uses the
newest generation of the carbon dioxide and erbium YAG lasers to vaporize
the undesired skin tissue one layer at a time, revealing fresh skin
underneath. The laser's highly focused beam enables the dermatologic surgeon
to gently and precisely remove the skin's surface with a very low risk of
complications in properly selected patients.
Non Ablative Laser Rejuvenation
(NALR) treatment
The NALR treatment
distributes laser energy as heat beneath the skin's layers without
affecting the outer layers of the skin (the epidermis). The heat energy
stimulates new cell growth which restores
the skin integrity and reduces facial lines.
Intense Pulse
Light (IPL) treatment
The
IPL treatment distributes light energy as heat beneath the skin's layers
without affecting the outer layers of the skin
(the epidermis).
The wavelength and energy level is selected based on
the skin type for stimulation of collagen and skin rejuvenation.
DIODE
laser treatment
The DIODE laser energy
selectively destroys melanin found in the hair follicles, epidermis and
dermis. Pigmentary conditions
such as freckles, sun damage and age spots, especially over large areas
(such as the forearm, chest, back, etc) respond very well to DIODE laser
treatment.

Radio Frequency treatment This technique uses radio frequency energy to heat beneath the skin's layers. The RF energy induces heat within the dermis and stimulates new collagen growth,
reducing facial lines and wrinkles.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a new method of managing aging skin by injecting minute amounts of
pharmaceuticals very superficially into the skin. This procedure, somewhat similar to
tattooing medications onto the skin, is almost painless and helps to
rejuvenate the skin. Some of the medications (vitamins, anti oxidants,
etc) used in mesotherapy have great anti aging effects on the skin.
BTX-A Cosmetic (Dysport, Botox)
BTX-A Cosmetic (Dysport, Botox) is injected in very tiny amounts into specific muscles
to treat and improve facial lines, wrinkles and furrows associated with facial
expression. It can also be used to reduce open pore and eye brow reshaping.
Dermal
Fillers
Soft tissue fillers involves
injecting a filling substance under the skin. It is used to "plump up" or
contour and correct wrinkles, furrows and hollows in the face.
