Some believe wrinkles are a reflection of all the smiles and happy times passed over the years as one age. While this may or may not be true, one thing is for certain – you can’t stop the aging process – and your skill WILL change.
At Green Dermatology & Cosmetic Center we believe in restoring skin back to its youthful glow. With a plethora of treatments designed to do just that, we’ve become the top cosmetic and medical dermatology choice for those looking for great skin care in Boca.
The top four ways your skin changes with age are frown lines, crow’s feet, collagen loss, and melasma. Now let’s discuss how to treat them all.
Frown Lines
While no one necessarily likes frown lines, no one wants their face to resemble a frozen mannequin either. One wrinkle treatment we offer is Botox. This painless injectable is administered in between the brows and gives patients a more relaxed look that lasts several months. Restylane is mainly used as a lip enhancer, but it can also be used to help get rid of frown lines and even crow’s feet.
Crow’s Feet
Crow’s feet, or those fine lines around the eyes, can also age someone and while this may be accelerated by sun exposure, the look of crow’s feet can also be minimized with several procedures. Botox, as described above, can also be used for crow’s feet. Dysport is similar to Botox and can be used to reduce fine lines on the face including crow’s feet and also frown lines.
Collagen Loss
Another effect of aging is the volume or fullness of the face that is reduced when there is a loss in collagen. Bellafill is a dermal filler that can be used to restore fullness to the skin. Juvederm can also help add volume to the cheeks to create a more youthful complexion. Another option is Radiesse, which is a volumizing filler that lifts the skin by adding volume and thus diminishing wrinkles. What makes this filler unique is that provides the skin with structure and helps to stimulate the body’s natural collagen growth. Bellafill is similar in its uniqueness as it, too, creates a base that allows more of your own collagen to develop.
Melasma
Melasma, a skin condition that usually occurs to patients who have a family member who has already shown symptoms of melasma, can also occur as a result of hormones and/or pregnancy. Melasma can also happen as a result of extended exposure to the sun.
At our Deerfield Beach Dermatology office, we offer a melasma treatment called Photorejuvenation Laser Treatment, also known as IPL or Intense Pulsed Light. This treatment can lighten and remove the brown spots around the face and neck that come with melasma.
