Help for Aging Skin
Q&A with Dr. Brazil
Q. OK, what bothers me most about my appearance is that my skin tone has developed more yellow tones than I like. Brown age spots are multiplying and there are wrinkles on my wrinkles. My skin is now looser too, and seems to hang off my cheekbones instead of draping smoothly. I don’t like it!
A. You’re not alone. These are the most common problems we face as our skin ages. Some are due simply to older skin but most are from external damage, especially the sun’s ultraviolet light. With 21 years of experience and an extensive investment in technology, we have created a RESTOR protocol to reverse these changes: Reproducible and Effective Skin TreatmentOptions for Rejuvenation. First, we rejuvenate your epidermal cells and dermal collagen with a Fraxel laser, a procedure called fractionated laser resurfacing. Depending on your skin’s condition, one or several of these resurfacing procedures are done to eliminate age spots and reduce wrinkling. Your new collagen is more elastic and less yellow, with a vibrant and healthy glow. Basically, you have younger skin.
Second, we perform a single Thermage skin-tightening procedure. This is a radio frequency -based thermal heating device that stimulates collagen production in the deep dermis, and shrinks existing collagen bundles throughout. The result is a lifting and toning of your skin, which returns your face’s natural contours. This is a 1 + 1 = 3 combination of treatments! If necessary, a RESTOR protocol can be expanded to include limited liposuction of the cheeks and neck to restore the angle of the jaw and lift the sagging skin below your chin. It can also include a dermal filler to restore lost volume in the lips and cheekbone areas. All of these are minimal or no downtime treatments, so you can return to normal activity quickly. The results are amazing and long-lasting. You will have younger, healthy skin and the normal facial contours you used to have or always wanted. Learn more with a free consult.
