CLAIM YOUR PROFILERepeat treatments with the PicoSure laser are usually done 4-6 weeks apart however several published reports have confirmed that shortening that interval is safe and effective. The new collagen which is formed in response to prior treatments is not a target for the picosecond energy, so repeat treatments focus on molecules such as residual melanin in photo damaged skin.

Microneedling is a low to no downtime way to "microwound" the skin which will remove damaged collagen. And because small micro channels are created in the skin, the treatment is a perfect way to deliver a topical medicine for even more collagen stimulation. Some microneedling devices include radio-frequency stimulation which targets the deeper dermis for enhanced effects.

Stay tuned! At last month's annual meeting of the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery, Dr Jean Carruthers presented preliminary impressive results of using Cool Sculpting to treat upper arm fat and laxity. Not only did the fat lessen, but skin in the treatment zone tightened as well.

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are trade names for the botulinum protein that works specifically within the neuro-muscular junction to temporarily stop transmission of a particular neurotransmitter. This prevents muscle contraction. In our office, all three versions are used. I like to use Dysport in certain areas and Botox in others, but they can be used interchangeably to achieve the desired results.

Your CO2 treatment will lead to continued improvement of the collagen, elastin, and mucin in your skin. These changes have been shown by biopsies, chemical analyses, and visual inspection of treated skin. The healing process continues to build new, tighter, more elastic skin.

The simple answer is yes, a hyaluronic acid filler will attract and hold a lot of water in the skin and so this is a great way to keep the lips hydrated. However, there may be a contributing factor such as allergy or irritation that is the root cause of the peeling and dryness. Patch testing can answer the question of allergy, and you can try to avoid irritants such as lanolin and menthol in lip products.

Loss of volume in the chin stems from bony changes in the underlying jaw bone, loss of both deep and superficial fat in the chin, increased or decreased tone in the muscles of the mouth, and overlying skin changes. A hyaluronic acid filler is often used to address these factors, and both Juvederm Voluma or Restylane Lyft are excellent choices.
