Looking Fresh-Faced for the Holidays

With the holidays just around the corner, the time is once again upon us to ready ourselves for family gatherings and parties. It is during this time of year that we get to see everyone from cousins to aunts and uncles to old friends, and for some of us, it is the only time of the year when we all get together. That makes it the perfect time (and excuse) to pamper ourselves just a little and get that glowing and youthful skin you’ve wanted all year.

The appearance of our skin is a top priority for many of us. Fine lines, discolorations, acne scars, and overall skin tone often impact our self-confidence and may make us unhappy with the face we see in the mirror. We offer non-surgical and non-invasive treatments that can minimize the appearance of wrinkles, sun damage, and facial scarring. With our injectable and/or laser treatments, you can turn back the clock on your skin and be ready to enjoy the holidays in no time.

Injectable Options

BOTOX® Cosmetic/XEOMIN®

BOTOX® Cosmetic and XEOMIN® are great options for turning back the hands of time by removing fine lines, wrinkles, and creases from the upper the face. By utilizing these injectable neurotoxins, patients can expect to erase crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes, vertical furrows between the brows, and horizontal wrinkles across the forehead. Dr. Wilson will tailor each treatment to the individual based on their facial muscle contraction patterns. Results are immediately visible after treatment, and no downtime is required. Repeat treatments are needed approximately every three months to maintain results.

Fillers

Wrinkles and volume loss can leave you with an aged appearance. Injectable fillers, such as RADIESSE® and JUVÉDERM®, add volume to the skin to fill wrinkles and fine lines. With a quick in-office treatment, patients can enjoy immediate results with no downtime. Repeat treatments are needed every six months to one year to maintain results.

Laser Options

CO2 Laser Peel

The CO2 laser peel uses carbon dioxide technology to damage and remove the upper layers of skin while stimulating collagen production. This process will leave you with smooth, rejuvenated, and youthful skin as sun damage (such as fine lines and brown spots), acne scars, and precancerous skin growths are treated.

Fraxel® DUAL Laser

The Fraxel® DUAL laser offers non-invasive skin resurfacing for the face, neck, chest, and hands that is guaranteed to subtract years from your appearance. This laser has two treatment options designed to target various skin concerns. The 1550 will target wrinkles and acne scars while stimulating collagen growth. The 1927 combats the effects of sun damage and tone and texture irregularities. While multiple treatments with these lasers may take four months to complete, both of these treatment options come with the bonus of:

• A pain-free application (treatment will result in the look and feel of a mild sunburn)
• No downtime
• A minimal potential for side effects such as blistering and pigment changes
• Being suitable for all skin types
• A renewed sense of confidence
