The rise of social media has also heightened our perception of what is considered beautiful. People of all ages are looking for ways to keep up with these elevated beauty standards. Aging manifests itself, among other things, in the form of lines and wrinkles. There are numerous ways to fight aging, but one of the most effective methods happens to be Botox. The treatment is typically used on the upper half of the face to suppress muscle movements that can cause formation of glabellar and horizontal forehead lines and crow’s feet. Dynamic wrinkles form because of repetitive muscle movements. As we age our skin becomes less supple due to the loss of collagen and elasticity. Thus, contractions of our facial muscles have more of a lasting impact the older we get.

There’s a popular saying that, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” and that could not be more true than in the case of wrinkles. We can help prevent dynamic wrinkles from forming by incorporating Botox into our beauty routines. Botox is very effective at keeping skin smooth because it works to inhibit the root cause of the wrinkle formation. Thus, younger people are increasingly turning to cosmetic enhancements, such as Botox, to help them prevent wrinkles.

When can I see results?
You can expect to see results within 7 to 14 days. Skin will appear smoother for a period of three to four months after the initial injection.

How long does the treatment take?
The procedure takes less than ten minutes. You will have an extensive consultation with an aesthetic medical professional before your Botox treatment.

Is Botox safe to use for forehead lines?
Botox is the only treatment of its kind approved by the FDA to treat crow’s feet and glabellar lines.

Harsh winter weather that we have endured for the past couple of months has most likely left your skin looking duller and flaky. Fortunately, you can quickly rejuvenate your complexion by incorporating various exfoliation methods into your beauty routine.

Exfoliation helps clear the skin of debris, and makes way for a more beautiful and luminous complexion. Chemical peels, an enhanced form of exfoliation, can also dramatically improve the tone and texture of your skin. If you want your skin to look beautiful this spring then chemical peels is your best option to accomplish this goal.

What conditions can chemical peels treat?

Chemical peels can successfully improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun spots, and mild acne scars.

Will my skin peel after receiving a chemical peel treatment?

It depends. Patients who have been treated with a light chemical peel should expect to experience little to no visible peeling. Medium or deep peels will result in much heavier flaking of the skin.

How can I help the recovery process?

Please minimize sun exposure for at least a week after the procedure. Your skin will be vulnerable to sun damage during this period and it’s best to be extra cautious while it heals.

Can I peel flaky skin?

Although, it will be tempting to manually peel off flaking skin it is not advisable to do so. We recommend our patients to use SkinMedica’s TNS Ceramide Treatment Cream during their recovery process.  The moisture will help the healing process and it also helps restore skin barrier function.

Hair removal has been practiced across cultures for centuries. The women of Ancient Egypt would use pumice stones and seashells to remove unwanted hair from their bodies. Upper classes of the Roman Empire correlated excessive body hair with poverty. The elites of Roman society would use razors made from flint to keep themselves well-groomed and clean shaven. This tradition can still be seen in Roman sculptures and paintings as artists often depicted hairless human bodies.

 

Although the tools of hair removal have changed dramatically over time, the desire to have a smooth, hair free skin has remained. Luckily, we now can utilize laser technology to safely and effectively remove unwanted body hair.

 

How does laser hair removal work?

A laser hair removal system uses a beam of high-intensity light to destroy hair follicles deep within the skin. The laser can effectively target and remove hair follicles without damaging the surrounding tissues.

 

Who can benefit from this treatment?

Earlier generations of lasers were limited to patients with a lighter skin tone. Fortunately, newer laser hair removal systems can now successfully treat patients with darker skin tones as well.

 

How many treatments will I need?

Generally, you can expect to have at least 6-8 treatments to achieve good results.

Each bride’s skin is different and it is important to work with aesthetic medical professionals who can provide customized solutions for your unique problems. Our team of trained aesthetic professionals can provide a thorough assessment of the condition of your skin. This assessment will be used to determine the correct treatment plan to make sure you look your best on the most important day of your life.

 

Most brides want a fresher appearance with skin that radiates a healthy and youthful glow.  We suggest starting facial rejuvenation treatments soon after your engagement so that you have time to perfect your skincare routine by your wedding day. We have found that experimenting with new products too close to your wedding will put you at risk for adverse reactions such as breakouts, flaky skin, or rashes.  We can help minimize the risk of these reactions by providing customized recommendations of high-quality skin care products. We can also help amplify the effects of your current skin care routine by incorporating powerful in-office treatments. Our skin care specialists can perform a variety of medical grade chemical peels to improve the tone and texture of your skin. Skinmedica’s range of professional grade chemical peels offer brides several options.

 

Those who are looking to brighten their overall complexion can greatly benefit from the lightest exfoliation treatment, the Illuminize Peel. If a bride is looking to improve the appearance of fine lines and acne scars then they would need a series of more robust treatments such as the Rejuvenize Peel. More pronounced skin imperfections can also be treated with laser skin resurfacing.

Shaving happens to be a phenomenal exfoliation method that helps men maintain a healthy skin as they age. Shaving is a very simple way to mechanically remove dead skin cells, which helps skincare products absorb better and it also tends to improve overall skin complexion.

 

However, exfoliation alone is not enough to prevent all signs of aging. Volume loss, for example, may result in a hollowed and sunken appearance of one’s facial features. Facial volume loss often requires robust treatments performed by aesthetic medical professionals if patients hope to achieve lasting improvements.

 

Dermal fillers are injectable medications that are specially formulated to combat facial volume loss. Men tend to respond well to hyaluronic based fillers that are effective enough to plump up trouble areas for several months. Juvederm Volbella, for example, works particularly well to fill the hollow areas under the eyes and Juvederm Voluma can be used on the chin area to create more definition along the jawline.

California’s temperate climate and world-renowned beaches make the state a vacationer’s paradise. However, excessive sun exposure can be detrimental to the health of our skin. It may cause sun spots and wrinkles, and it may also raise one’s risk of developing skin cancer.

Sunscreen is one of the best weapons against harmful UVB rays, and we recommend using at least SPF 30 in your daily regimen. SPF 30 is designed to block around 97 percent of UVB radiation, but to be effective it has to be reapplied every two hours. If you already have symptoms of sun damage we can certainly treat them with a variety of medical grade treatments. Laser skin resurfacing is one of the most effective ways of treating certain signs of sun damage such as wrinkles and fine lines. Below, we have outlined several key elements of this cutting-edge treatment.

 

What is laser skin resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing uses energy-based technology to improve the appearance of various skin imperfections. During the treatment, a clinician will direct hundreds of microbeams deep into the skin to stimulate collagen and promote your body’s natural healing response.

 

What conditions can laser skin resurfacing treat?

Laser skin resurfacing can improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and sun spots. The treatment also works to boost your body’s own collagen.

 

How do I prepare for treatment?


We recommend discontinuing use of Retin A and chemical peels, for at least a week prior to the treatment. Also, patients must minimize their sun exposure for at least two weeks prior to receiving any kind of laser treatment.

 

How often the treatments are done?


In order to achieve optimal results it is best to schedule treatments every 4 to 6 weeks.

The sedentary lifestyle many of us lead, unfortunately causes a whole host of medical problems including the increased prominence of varicose and spider veins. These engorged blood vessels typically can be found on the legs. Although any vein can become varicose, the leg veins are particularly susceptible to developing these types of abnormalities because blood vessels in this area are tasked with the strenuous job of pumping blood up to the heart. Over time it leads to weaker valves which makes the blood to pool in the veins and that eventually causes the veins to become enlarged.

 

See below to learn more about treatments that will make your legs look healthier and more beautiful.

 

What are spider veins?

Spider veins are located close to the surface of the skin and they usually have red or bluish color. Spider veins are generally smaller than varicose veins, and they are often found on the face as well as on the legs. They are typically much easier to treat than varicose veins.

 

How can I treat spider leg veins?

Two of the most effective treatments for this disorder are sclerotherapy and laser vein therapy.  Both options are minimally invasive procedures and have quick recovery times.

 

What are the differences between sclerotherapy and laser vein therapy?

Sclerotherapy utilizes a therapeutic solution which causes veins to collapse. It is injected directly into the unwanted vein, and over the course of a few weeks the vein begins to gradually disappear.  Laser vein therapy, on the other hand, uses therapeutic heat to destroy the abnormal veins.

 

What is the best time to start treatments?

If you want to have beautiful legs by the summer, we recommend starting your treatments in February. Patients typically need more than one treatment to see good results.
