With repeated animation permanent wrinkles in the skin develop. Areas commonly affected are the glabella (or the area between the eyebrows), the forehead and the crows feet (outside of the eyes). These lines make one look older, sad, angry or tired. The neuromodulators can help prevent deepening of these lines and can reduce or erase these lines all together.  Botulinum toxin is a safe and effective method to help produce a more refreshed and youthful look.  It can be safely done in the office, and warrants consultation with your physician to determine an individualized approach for you

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels remove damaged outer layers of skin to smooth texture, reduce scarring, and remove blemishes or discolorations to produce healthy, glowing skin. There are three types of chemical peels and formula strengths are tailored to each patient. Peels can be combined with other procedures such as facelifts for a younger look.

Alphahydroxy acids (AHA) are the most mild chemical peels. They are best used to treat fine wrinkles, dryness, uneven pigmentation and acne. AHAs are typically applied once a week. They are ideal for patients that do not want the lengthy recovery time of a a deeper peel.

Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is the medium-depth peeling. The depth can be controlled to some degree by the application. It is used to treat fine surface wrinkles, superficial blemishes and pigment problems. TCAs are the preferred chemical solution for darker-skinned patients and may be used on the neck and other areas of the body. Multiple treatments may be required, but treatments only last 10-15 minutes and recovery time is approximately one week.

Phenol is the strongest chemical peel. It is used to treat deeper skin problems such as coarse facial wrinkles, pre-cancerous growths, and areas of blotchy or damaged skin caused by sun exposure, aging or birth-control pills. Phenol is used only on the face. Full-facial treatment can last an hour or two and recovery can take a few months, with possible permanent skin lightening and removal of freckles.
