The Secret to Great Skin

Trust your face to a specialist to keep your secret safe.

This is not Los Angeles.

Some people desire more dramatic changes, and that is OK.  However, many of our patients are searching for a more discreet way to improve their appearance and look years younger without giving away their secret.  The secret to great skin is to start with a careful evaluation of the signs of aging then develop a customized treatment plan.

The key is to improve the surface appearance and texture of the skin while balancing that with soft improvements in areas with volume loss.  It’s a gradual process that requires a combination approach, not a once-and-done procedure.

 

Improve the skin

secret to great skinA smart regimen of daily skin care is the foundation to looking and feeling better.  This includes the obvious like sunscreen and a good moisturizer.  Taking it to the next level includes antioxidant serums to prevent damage AND repair the effects of sun exposure.  Lightening creams combined with Vitamin C serum can improve sun spots and give a brighter, even complexion.  Exfoliation is also critical to reverse sun damage and signs of aging.

But that’s not all.  Your skin needs an occasional boost from time to time to continue the repair process and allow healthy skin to shine.  We find that a series of exfoliating laser treatments using the erbium laser alone or combined with a mild CO2 laser treatment can provide dramatic improvements with minimal downtime.

 

Restore volume

We all know that fillers are used for volume enhancement.  Sculptra is unique because it provides a gradual improvement in volume and stimulates your body to produce more collage to support the skin.  Combining Sculptra with laser treatments is the secret to youthful-looking skin without the risk of looking “done.”
