After years of squinting, laughing, frowning, smoking, and worrying, the skin around the eyes and on the forehead often develops deep lines and wrinkles. These lines are called "expression lines." Until now, this type of wrinkle has been difficult to treat. Expression lines may often make you look older, tired, or stressed. Now, by utilizing an already approved muscle-relaxing agent, expression lines can be significantly reduced.
What type of results will I see?
Typically, the effect of BOTOX® is visible within 3 days. Maximum benefits are reached between 10 to 14 days. Once the muscle relaxes and the skin softens, you will have a more relaxed and youthful appearance. BOTOX® treatments are not a substitute for the results achieved with a facelift. The optimum appearance may be achieved with BOTOX® therapy in conjunction with a facelift, laser resurfacing, and skin rejuvenation.
How long does a BOTOX® treatment last?
The effects usually last 3 to 4 months. You will notice a gradual fading of its effects. The results, following several treatments, may last 6 to 8 months or more. BOTOX® offers extended relief over the course of long-term treatment.
Collagen is one of the key elements that keep our skin looking young, firm and smooth. Every time you smile, squint, or frown you put stress on the underlying collagen in the skin, which results in the development of facial lines. In addition, collagen is depleted naturally as you age, leaving many yearning for the plump and youthful skin they remember. Collagen Replacement Therapy offers immediate and dramatic results for those unhappy with the early signs of aging and is used as a non-surgical method to smooth out facial lines, wrinkles, plump up lips and fill in scars. Collagen Replacement Therapy produces results that can be seen and felt instantly and leaves you with a refreshed and more youthful looking skin.
How long does collagen last?
Collagen Replacement Therapy is temporary. A patient who has had many sessions will require less and less with each treatment and the results will last longer. First treatment results can last anywhere from 2 to 5 months. Eventually the collagen material is absorbed into the body and metabolized. Touch-up treatments are recommended to maintain desired results.
Men and women alike share a common desire to have healthy, youthful skin. Exposure to the sun, to the elements, and detrimental living habits all contribute to the appearance of our skin today. Chemical peels have become very popular with those who are unhappy with acne scarring, sun-damaged skin, age spots, freckles, fine lines, rough skin and uneven pigmentation. Chemical peels are not limited to the face and can be performed on the neck, chest, hands, arms, shoulders, and legs - just about anywhere!
How will my skin look and feel immediately following?
The condition of the skin and healing times vary depending upon the strength of the peel performed. Chemical peels are classified as superficial, medium, and deep peels.
Superficial Peel- This peel is designed to help smooth rough, dry skin, improve the texture of sun-damaged skin, and even out skin tone. The recovery is generally rapid and usually consists of minor flaking. A series of treatments is generally recommended to obtain the desired result over a period of time. Typically, there is no down time and with appropriate sun protection, you can resume regular activities immediately.
Medium Peel- Medium peels often contain higher levels or stronger acids. The best candidate for a medium peel is an individual with fair skin. Medium peels target the epidermis and upper dermis and cause the skin to slough within 5 to 7 days. Immediately after treatment the skin has a red appearance and is occasionally accompanied by swelling. Within a day, the skin turns brown in color and after 3 or 4 days, the skin begins the peeling process.
Deep Peels- Deep peels produce the most dramatic results. This peel is recommended for treating wrinkles, scars, blemishes and, in some cases, precancerous skin lesions. A deep peel targets the dermis. In some cases, anesthesia is required during the procedure to reduce the warm to hot stinging sensation. After a deep peel, the skin is red and can result in some swelling and blistering. A crust may form and the skin will turn brown just prior to peeling. Many layers of the skin will peel over a period of one to two weeks. An ointment may be given to keep the area moist. Temporarily, the new skin will have the color and sensation of significant sunburn, which will gradually fade to your normal skin color.
Remember the time when your skin was smooth and supple? In your youth you could not imagine what a toll the effects of time, heredity, fun in the sun, toxins in our air and unhealthy habits would take on your skin. You may feel terrific and have a healthy, active lifestyle but are troubled by the aged appearance of your face. Modern technology has created a way to turn back the hands of time and reverse years of damage with lasers. Laser resurfacing is a procedure that promotes healthy new skin. Erase the years of damage and enjoy fresh, smooth skin!
What can Laser Resurfacing do for me?
Certain conditions associated with aging skin can be safely and dramatically reduced for both men and women at almost any age. These conditions include: sun-damaged and wrinkled facial skin, wrinkles around the mouth also called "smoker's lines", wrinkles around the eyes also called "crow's feet", skin laxity in the lower eyelid area, loose and wrinkled tissue paper skin on the upper eyelids, brown spots, facial scarring from either acne or injury, and over all skin tightness and tone.
How long will my results last?
While laser treatments are considered to be long lasting, they are not permanent. Natural expressions that use specific facial muscles may cause some wrinkles called "expression lines" to reappear. Your physician may suggest Botox treatments to avoid this. Unfortunately you will continue to age…fortunately laser treatments can usually be repeated. You can help maintain your new look by carefully following the instructions of the physician and staff on skin care and avoid sun exposure and other harmful activities.
