Juvéderm™ - Restylane® - Chemical Peels - Microdermabrasion

Juvéderm™

Juvéderm™ is an injectable gel that gently reverses many signs of aging in the face, including fine lines and wrinkles, crow's feet, thinning lips and loosening skin. It can also "plump up" the lips, sculpt the cheeks, and restore a youthful oval shape to the face. It is made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body that works with collagen and elastin to give volume and support to the skin.) Your doctor will ease Juvederm™ under your skin to instantly smooth out those wrinkles or folds that look like parentheses along the side of your nose and mouth. Results aren't just instant, they're so smooth and natural that everyone will notice but no one will know.

Juvederm™ uses Hylacross technology to create a high degree of cross linking. Hylacross technology results in a smooth consistency gel, which is a primary factor in the long lasting smooth natural look and feel.

Restylane®

Restylane® is designed to smooth wrinkles, sculpt lips and shape facial contours. It is a clear, synthetic gel made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that is found throughout your body. It carries little risk of allergic reaction. The most common areas for treatment are the glabellar lines (between the eyebrows) and the nasolabial folds (from the root of the nose to the angle of your mouth). With its unique ability to bind with water, Restylane® remains in your skin for many months.

Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is designed to correct facial wrinkling. It is sometimes used to "fine tune" the results of a facelift or eyelid surgery. It is especially helpful around your eyes and lips, but it can also reduce wrinkling about your entire face. It may improve abnormal skin coloration as well. There are a number of chemical agents that can be used to achieve various depths of peeling. Peels range from very superficial, causing no significant skin irritation to deep, causing longer lasting results.  We offer 70% and 90% glycolic facial peels in the office, as well as microdermabrasions.  The glycolic peel program consists of a series of peels at three week intervals.  Skin should be completely acclimated to glycolic acid based home care products for at least three weeks prior to the patient’s first treatment.  TCA (tri-chloracetic acid) and Phenol peels are deeper chemical peels and are performed with anesthesia. With deeper peels, a mixture of chemicals is applied to the skin. After 2 days of swelling, the old skin "peels off" leaving fresh skin in 10-14 days. You can use makeup at this time to cover the new pink skin. The recovery period, with initially pink skin and considerable swelling, has to be taken into account to achieve the end result.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion improves mild to moderate sun damage, scarring, wrinkles and other superficial skin problems. A gentle stream of tiny particles exfoliates the outer layer of skin and provides a fresh, glowing, younger appearance. Only a small amount of skin is removed, so sensitive areas such as the face, chest, neck, arms and hands can be treated. Results are comparable to a light chemical peel and should be immediately visible. Microdermabrasion is often performed in conjunction with other skin renewal procedures, such as laser treatment and chemical peels. Multiple treatments are recommended for full effect.
