Skin care is one of the most important areas to address when attempting to rejuvenate the face. The health of your skin will dramatically influence your appearance, more so than any one individual procedure can on its own. Therefore it is extremely important to emit positive healthy glow to the skin when trying to rejuvenate.

I have blemishes and sun spots

I use the Obagi Skin Restoration System together with Blue Peel to restore the skin to a vibrant and healthy appearance. Unlike traditional skin care products that only treat problems on the surface of your skin, Obagi skin restoration system works at the cellular level. The skin restoration system helps to correct surface discoloration, blemishes, and stimulate cell renewal to bring back the glow and softness of healthy, younger-looking skin. During your initial consultation, your surgeon will determine whether you could benefit from a medicated, physician only, facial treatment known as Reeverse Anti-Aging Facial. Reeverse is a series of medicated facial mask treatments that will reverse the visible signs of aging and sun damage.

My skin is an unusual color

Melasma is a rather persistent brown discoloration of the skin that usually follows pregnancy. Its persistence is closely correlated to female hormone levels and sun exposure. The Obagi skin restoration system and Micro-dermabrasion are effective for treating melasma.

I have fine lines and I do not like the texture of my skin

Micro-dermabrasion with oxygen therapy is added to the treatment to accomplish superficial skin resurfacing and to compliment the effects of the other treatments.

My face has lines everywhere

If you can see wrinkles when your face is in a relaxed state, you have what is known as Static Wrinkles. Static wrinkles are telltale signs of aging and can also be produced by prolonged sun exposure. The ideal treatment for static wrinkles depends on their location and extent. For isolated static wrinkles Restylane® and Perlane® are ideal. are considered tissue fillers and can also rejuvenate the lines around the mouth and the nasolabial folds. The marionette lines are those two lines that begin at the corner of the mouth and when they appear, they begin to show a downward slant to the mouth. Restylane and Perlane are helpful to turn the corners of the mouth upward. Wrinkles that are great in number are best treated with CO2 Laser Resurfacing.

I look angry all the time

Repeated facial expressions over time begin to take their toll by forming the forehead lines, the frown lines and crow’s feet. They form what is known as Dynamic Wrinkles. . Relaxing the muscles responsible for these lines is what Botox® does ideal in preventing these telltale signs of aging from forming. Botox® relaxes the expression muscles that aggravates these Wrinkles.

Is it time for surgery?

Wrinkles can improve with a Facelift but is not the ideal treatment. And when there are skin wrinkles and blemishes as well as sagging of the skin and muscle, a facelift will enhance the aforementioned treatments and help restore a youthful foundation to show off the healthy and rejuvenated skin.

I have scars on my face

Acne scars are usually difficult to treat because of the scarring and localized loss of tissue in each acne crater. Even when the skin is smoothed, the craters remain. Naturally, an isolated scar or acne scar is easier to disguise and remove that a wide-spread area. Although CO2 Laser is recommended by many practitioners, the prognosis of such a treatment is limited because the acne craters cannot be effectively treated with CO2 laser alone. Therefore, combination therapy is essential. An effective therapy is a combination of CO2 laser to shrink the craters and surgical abrasion in the affected area to mechanically reduce the depth of each crater. In addition, a Subcisionof the deeper crater can be performed with a device that allows for a more accurate release of the scar tissue. The underlying soft tissue deficit is then restored with Fat Transfer. Subcision surgery is a very effective treatment for isolated scars and stubborn wrinkles including the Nasolabial Folds and smile lines.

I like to cake on make up

The finishing touch of any treatment is the makeup. Mineral makeup is not for everyone; however, if you notice that the makeup that you are applying is beginning to cake on your face, or that your pores it may be time to switch to a lighter makeup. Mineral makeup is ideal because it is made of minerals, which do not grow bacteria and can be layered for effect. After you have completed a skin rejuvenating regimen, you will want to show less makeup and more skin.
