 Chemical Peels are a chemical solution, usually TCA (trichloroacetic acid) which
is applied to the skin,causing the skin to blister and peel off over a period of 5-10 days.
As the treated skin peels off, new more fresh skin replaces it.Chemical peels are a suitable
procedure for facial rejuvenation and diminishing the effects of sun damage.Works best on
fair , thin skin with superficial wrinkles.
Dermabrasion is a scraping of the top layers
of the skin.This procedure softens edges of surface irregularities,including fine wrinkles
and acne scars,especially around the mouth.The results are permanent, however new wrinkles
may form as skin ages.
Restylane and Juvederm Utra are injectable gels used as soft tissue
fillers to treat wrinkles and fill lips. Both are composed of hyaluronic acid a substance
found in all living organisms. No allergy skin tests are required.
These dermal fillers are often used in conjunction with Botox for optimum results,
especially for rejuvenation of the upper face, and diminshing the appearance of frown lines.
Both products last between 4-6 months.
Juvéderm Ultra injectable gel is a gel consisting of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic
acid is a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and
hydration. Therfore no allergy test is necessary before treatment. The smooth
consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away
facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or nasolabial folds-the
creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth. It is
also used with much success for lip augmentation A Juvéderm treatment takes
about 20-30 minutes and results are immediate. Plus, there's minimal recovery or
downtime.

of moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds.

stabilized hyaluronic acid gel particles. The primary difference between Restylane
and Perlane is the larger hyaluronic acid gel particles are designed to
provide volume and lifting power for effective deeper wrinkle correction.

compound. It is does not require allergy testing and can be injected in a simple office procedure.
