| Holidays are a great season to focus on our inner and outer self. Lots of family reunions, parties and events where you want to look and feel your BEST without undergoing surgery. Patients seeking skin rejuvenation these days can be young or old, male or female, ÔskintelligentÕ about their treatment options or not. I always like to begin with handing the patient a mirror and essentially reading the face together. WeÕll find out what is most bothersome to you, and discuss various ways of proceeding. In the process, you are often pleasantly surprised that more than one issue can be addressed as part of a non-surgical treatment regimen, particularly with the 4D approach. This approach addresses four types of changes: color, texture, gravity, and deep wrinkles. COLOR CHANGES. The Limelight Photofacial addresses an array of superficial pigment changes induced by the sun that occur in the epidermis. Overexposure to the sun can cause brown age spots, sunspots, generalized redness, and/or specific, tiny, diffused vessels. The Limelight Photofacial decreases and even eliminates these bothersome changes, resulting in a more uniform skin color Ð with no down time. TEXTURE CHANGES. The Laser Genesis addresses the diffuse textural changes associated with aging skin, which occur primarily in the papillary dermis. The laser energy stimulates dermal collagen regrowth and realignment so that pore size is reduced, cobble-stoning is flattened, acne scarring is smoothed out, and fine lines are softened. GRAVITY CHANGES. The Titan is an inspired way of treating lax skin. It utilizes infrared light to heat the water within the dermis to the point of collagen contraction. The collagen fiber support matrix not only tightens immediately, but is reinforced over time with integration of new fibroblasts. The clinical result is skin that not only looks, but feels firmer. Patients do not require anesthesia, and the clinical outcome is a much tighter, younger looking face and neck. DEEP WRINKLES AND SUN DAMAGE. The Pearl and Pearl Fractional lasers are incredible technologies that accomplish fabulous results in a single treatment. The Pearl is effective in 100% of patients to remove sun damage, large pores, and fine lines with 72 hours of social downtime. The Pearl Fractional is an ablative procedure with a 7 day downtime but you can say goodbye to deep wrinkles and acne scars like you never could before! They are both safe, effective, and FDA approved. If you are looking to welcome the New You this Holiday Season, you may want to consider these non-invasive, non-surgical treatments with no incisions, minimal to no downtime and fabulous results.
