Rejuvenate Skin From the Inside Out

Facial skin ages from both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Genes cause pre-programmed changes of the skin, fat, and bone. Over time, facial collagen and elastin begin to loose its integrity resulting in skin laxity and wrinkles.

External factors responsible for aging include sun exposure, a nutrient poor diet, stress, inadequate sleep, illness, smoking, and other environmental toxins.

Although our skin is bombarded everyday by external factors, there are a number of weapons available to fight against the unwanted signs of aging. Daily use of a medical grade skin care regimen consisting of a cleanser, sunscreen, and an antioxidant serum is mandatory to nourish, protect, hydrate, and correct the skin.
Laser rejuvenation promotes collagen and elastin production to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, tighten pores, smooth skin texture, reduce redness and the appearance of blood vessels.

Professional chemical peels work to exfoliate dead skin cells to brighten the complexion and reduce pigmentary changes caused by environmental damage.
Internal skin rejuvenation includes restoring the youthful apple of the cheek where the effects of aging begin. Advanced fillers such as Voluma XC, Radiesse, Perlane, and Sculptra, provide lift and volume to the cheeks. Cheek restoration is the foundation needed to achieve a natural and youthful balance to face.

After providing the foundation with these advanced fillers, Juvederm XC, Restylane, or Belotero are used for precision filling of the laugh lines and other fine lines. These family of fillers offer a non-surgical approach to skin rejuvenation.

The skin is the largest organ of the body. It is the window to our internal health and well-being. Therefore, the whole person must be addressed. Overall wellness is key.
