Nonsurgical Face Lift with Radiesse

September 1st, 2008 -- Posted in anti-aging cosmetic surgery, facial cosmetic surgery, facial reshaping, sun damage treatments | No Comments »

What if you could take years off your appearance without surgical intervention?

Radiesse is a newer facial rejuvenation procedure designed to give your facial skin a smoother, improved look and feel. If you’ve been fighting the effects of aging — such as lines, creases, and wrinkles — Radiesse can help.

Radiesse is a safe, effective way to target laugh lines, correct marionette lines around the mouth, add volume to sunken cheeks, and correct joweling. Because dramatic results can be achieved without surgery, Radiesse is a popular cosmetic option for men and women who wish to nip minor signs of premature aging in the bud, as well as those who would like to address more obvious indications of age.

The Radiesse nonsurgical face lift addresses a variety of appearance problems with a hypoallergenic facial filler gel that restores volume and leaves skin supple. Radiesse is not only effective for refreshing facial skin, it’s longer-lasting than many other nonsurgical cosmetic options: Radiesse can last up to two years!

In many cases, a combination of facial rejuvenation treatments can produce the best results. Learn more about Radiesse and other procedures like Juvederm, Restylane, Collagen and Sculptra.

What You Can Do About Sun Damage

May 1st, 2008 -- Posted in cosmetic surgery, sun damage treatments | No Comments »

 

We’ve all been warned about the dangers of UVA and UVB rays and their link to skin damage and cancer. Not only can overexposure be harmful to your health, it can also cause the signs of premature aging - like wrinkling, discoloration and “sun spots” - to set up camp on your face and body. Because these damaging rays actually harm the DNA in your skin’s cells, the most effective key to combating sun damage is prevention.

 

You can protect yourself from the effects of future, cumulative sun damage. Here are a few ways you can keep your skin safe:

 

  • Use sunscreen religiously
  • Moisturize with protective creams
  • Wear protective clothing and hats
  • Limit sun exposure
  • Avoid tanning beds
  • Perform self-skin checks
  • See a dermatologist annually

 

Can you undo sun damage?

You can’t reverse the signs of aging caused by skin damage, but you can encourage healthy skin cell growth with state-of-the-art cosmetic products and treatments. An experienced cosmetic surgeon can help you evaluate the options to find out which could benefit you most. Here are a few of the ways you can fight back against sun damage:

 

  • TCA peels - These “medium chemical peels” can be used to minimize the appearance of wrinkling and discoloration, improve skin tone and texture, and may inhibit cancerous cell growth.
  • Laser skin resurfacing - Resurfacing uses laser technology to remove superficial layers of damaged skin, refine skin’s appearance, and improve overall skin condition.
  • Photofacials/photorejuvenation - Photo therapy can treat all types of skin abnormalities, from sun spots to wrinkling, using Intense Pulse Light technology.
  • Antioxidants - Supplements such as green tea may inhibit cancerous cell growth and provide nourishment to skin cells.
  • Retin-A® cream - Rich with vitamin A, Retin-A can stimulate collagen growth to improve the health and appearance of skin.
