Wrinkles
Photodamage causes approximately 80% of the wrinkles and advanced aging that we experience in life.
There are many ways to treat wrinkles and skin laxity. The most important issue to consider is protection from future damage by wearing sunscreen on a daily basis with either Zinc Oxide or Mexoryl XL as a primary ingredient. Much has been recently published about the lack of effective ingredients for UVA protection in the majority of American-made sunscreens. We are committed to the very best standards and therefore have our sunscreen imported from Germany so that you, our clients, can have the best possible protection. We carry several types of La-Roche Posay Anthelios sunscreen, oftentimes considered by experts to be "the Holy Grail of all sunscreens."
After the issue of daily sunscreen use is resolved, the next step is to devise a treatment strategy to give you the best possible results. This usually requires a multi-faceted approach, using many treatment modalities together so that the results are phenomenal. Many times we combine Obagi prescription skin care with chemical peels, Neocutis and Lumiere growth factor cream, and Skin Tightening with the Gentleyag laser. We may refer you to a Plastic Surgeon for dermal fillers, Botox, or surgery if necessary.
All of our lasers are actually F.D.A. approved in the treatment of crow's feet and general skin rejuvenation. The specific lasers that are chosen for your treatment plan depend on a number of different factors, all of which are thoroughly explained at the time of your Visia analysis. Each person is treated individually, as everyone has different skin issues. Not everyone needs laser treatments, so it isn't always something that we will recommend. We will never sell you something that you don't need.
