Anti Aging Skincare

Our skin's surface is constantly going the aging process producing the 3 "UGLIES" of facial skin aging. The three are redness , pigmentation , and roughness . The most common problem seen by the doctors and our skin care specialists is brown spots on the face medically called hyperpigmentation. In darker skin individuals, these can occur in the early 30's. It is a result of the type of skin you have, your exposure to the sun, and some hormonal imbalance. Treatment consists of a specialized home care programs with office treatment of specialized peels, laser light therapy with or without topical levulan® kerastick applications. The smaller and lighter the brown spots the better the improvement. Whether they are multiple, single, dark, or light, contact us to make an appointment with our doctors so that early treatment can be started as soon as possible.

As we age, some of our faces get blotchy red often due to a very common inherited skin problem called "Acne Rosacea". Alcohol ingestion can temporarily make the redness worse. Appearing early as broken capillaries, these are treated with a specialized laser light that produces no significant downtime. Multiple treatments are needed as well as good home care products. If untreated, these vessels can gradually enlarge so that they become a purple color and stand out more obviously. Make an appointment with our office to see what set of treatments are needed for your type of skin.

With the ongoing aging, the dead layers of skin build up giving a rough texture and feel to the skin. This is especially true in smokers who also have a very sallow color to their face. To get a satisfactory improvement both home care and office procedures are used. There is virtually no downtime with the office procedures and no anesthetic is generally needed. With some of the techniques used in the office, the fine etching on the skin greatly improve. Proper skin care can slow the aging process as well a give your skin a real natural glow. To help you decide which treatment course is best for you bring all your skin care products you use and make an appointment to see the doctors and our skin care specialist.
