Put your best face on everyday
Although it is difficult to define beautiful skin, we all know when we see one. Beautiful skin is smooth, firm, even colored, properly hydrated and even textured. With a combination of preventive and corrective treatments, a beautiful skin is attainable.
Aging
Wrinkles, folds and sagging skin are a natural process of aging. Genetic factors, sun damage, excessive weight gain/loss, alcohol and nicotine abuse contribute to older looking skin. Early signs of aging are pigmentary changes, redness, and loss of texture and skin elasticity, wrinkles and folds and finally laxity of the skin. Dynamic wrinkles are caused by muscles pulling on the skin. A few units of Botox Cosmetic injected into these muscles reduces/eliminates them. Folds caused by sagging skin can be improved by injecting fillers like Restylane, Radiesse or Captique. Pigment changes resulting in blotchiness can be improved by IPL type of lasers. There are many chemical peels that produce similar results. All of these treatments have their place in facial rejuvenation either individually or in combination.
Medi-Spa at Allentown Center for Plastic Surgery
At the Medi-Spa, we evaluate skin and device skin care plan that are unique and individualized. Different skins need different treatment plans.
Preventing sun damage, good hydration, gentle cleansing and moisturizing are the hallmarks (in addition to good genes) of beautiful skin. For skin that requires some help, treatments vary from mild to moderate to more advanced. Our skin care aestheticians perform some treatments and the Doctors perform the more advanced treatments.
Combination techniques to photo-rejuvenate skin allows mild to moderate peels with microdermabrasion and lasers to produce good results without the complications of deeper treatments. Chemical peels help rejuvenate skin by stimulating collagen while 'cleaning up' dead and dying superficial layers. Intermediate and deep peels cause redness which may last two to three days. Maintenance is essential to keep the skin smooth. For some, this may mean using cleansers and moisturizers while others may need additional peels and lasers.
Botox Cosmetic injection and Fillers like Restylane help restore the youthful skin
During the initial consultation, skin is evaluated by aestheticians and/or the Doctors and individualized treatment plans recommended. Some may only need mild peels or microdermabarsion while others may need a series of combination treatments including deeper peels and laser skin resurfacing.
