Your skin provides the first visual impression to the world.  The better you look, the better you feel and the more confident you become.  The skin also protects our bodies from the environment by regulating our body temperature and creating a barrier to outside forces such as bacteria.  Our skin cells are constantly replacing themselves with new cells replacing the old cells that flake off.  Aging causes this process to slow down which results in unwelcome skin changes such as dark blotches and fine lines.  These skin changes, as well as many others, such as uneven pigmentation, shallow acne scars, freckling, wrinkling and excess hair growth can result in an unwanted appearance.  There is good news however.  These conditions and many others can be treated with various methods including Botox® Cosmetic, chemical peels, fat transplantations, laser therapy, light therapy, microdermabrasion, collagen implants and sclerotherapy. 

Botox is perhaps the newest treatment method being utilized to treat skin conditions.  This treatment method is simple, effective and has many advantages over other traditional forms of treatment.  A few tiny injections can result in significant results which can last for several months.

Chemical peels are performed thousands of times in the United States annually.  A solution is applied to the skin surface to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new skin cells.  Chemical peels tighten the skin, reduce wrinkling and restores a more youthful appearance.

Skin resurfacing with lasers have been used for years to eliminate wrinkles, remove tattoos, improve acne and sun damaged skin.  By directing an intense beam of light on the skin lasers precisely treat the damaged area.  The development of newer lasers has opened the door of treatment possibilities.

Intense pulsed light therapy can be used to treat rosacea and sun damage, remove unwanted hair and much more.  Treatments can be repeated until the desired results are achieved.

Microdermabrasion is used to treat many skin conditions including wrinkles, scars and sun damage.  Without the use of chemicals or lasers, microdermabrasion gently resurfaces the top layers of skin. 

Collagen implants are a fast, effective way to smooth wrinkles and define the lip border.  By replenishing the skin's natural collagen support layer facial lines become smooth and lip borders become more distinct.  Lasting 3-6 months this form of treatment is extremely popular.

Each treatment method has its own distinct advantages and application uses.  With many available forms of treatment your dermatologist can develop a skin rejuvenation program specifically designed to suit your particular skin needs.  So whether you are aged 18 or 80, a regimen can be created to improve the quality of your skin.  Learn more about the types of treatment by viewing the specific topic listed in the Provided Services page under the section Skin & Facial Cosmetic Rejuvenation.
