Cosmetic Dermatology

Sofwave™ is a new, clinically proven breakthrough in non-invasive Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology SUPERB™ to answer the growing demand for treatments. Sofwave™ delivers noticeable wrinkle reduction, lifts the eyebrows and neck, and affects the appearance of lax tissue in the submental neck regions.

What is Sofwave™?

Sofwave™ is a non-invasive, ultrasound-based skin rejuvenation treatment. During your treatment, one of our providers at Laser Skin Care Center applies a topical numbing cream for ninety minutes. After the numbing cream is removed, our provider uses a conductive gel to assist the handpiece device. 

Sofwave™’ has a larger handpiece which allows less time spent in the office. You’ll feel gradual heating during your treatment, but the cooling agent prevents damage to the outer skin. Since it only reaches the mid-dermis, you have less risk of fat atrophy and no aftercare required. 

How Does Sofwave™ Work?

Between sun exposure, pollution, and our diets, collagen, the framework for our skin’s volume, elasticity, and moisture, begins to deteriorate. Furthermore, our fibroblasts naturally slow down collagen production as we age. Collagen production naturally starts to slow in our 20s, but technological advancements have opened the doors to slow the process. 

Sofwave™ uses fractional ultrasound technology to heat 1.5mm in the mid-dermis gently. The controlled damage to the tissue stimulates the body’s natural healing response to increase collagen production. As your collagen production increases, your skin regains its youthful complexion. 

Is Sofwave™ Painful?

Before your treatment, our providers apply a topical numbing agent for maximum comfort. This treatment has a cooling device with in-time temperature control to prevent damage to your skin. 

You may feel the gradual heating against your skin, but before it becomes unbearable, the treatment in that area finishes. If you are nervous, you may request a sedative to help you relax.

What are the Effects Immediately After Sofwave™ Treatment?

There is no downtime or recovery period with this treatment. Clinical trials and patient testimonials have found no adverse side effects. You can return to your daily activities immediately after with no redness or swelling. 

You may notice initial results as early as 8 weeks after your treatment; however, most patients see their ideal results after 12 weeks. Sofwave™ provides noticeable improvements in fine lines and wrinkles along with improvements in skin laxity.

How Many Sofwave™ Treatments Will I Need?

One of the main benefits of Sofwave™ is you typically only need one treatment session to see results. Skin tightening and wrinkle reduction typically last 8-12 months. Laser Skin Care recommends annual maintenance treatments for continual skin rejuvenation results.

You may combine your Sofwave™ treatment with other forms of skin rejuvenation like Botox™, dermal fillers, or microneedling to achieve your ideal results. During your consultation, please discuss your goals and options with our Laser Care providers. 

Am I a Good Candidate?

Patients may use Sofwave™ for preventative treatment in their mid-twenties, stimulating collagen production to slow signs of aging. Good candidates have mild to moderate fine lines and wrinkles, sagging on the neck, or mild jowling of the chin. Sofwave™ is safe for all skin types and tones. 

If you have severe wrinkles or skin laxity, you may not be a good candidate for Sofwave™ wrinkle reduction.

XEOMIN® (incobotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows in adults.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

XEOMIN® (incobotulinumtoxinA) may cause serious side effects that can be life-threatening. Call your doctor or get medical help right away if you have any of these problems any time (hours to weeks) after treatment with XEOMIN:

Problems with swallowing, speaking, or breathing can happen after an injection of XEOMIN® if the muscles that you use to breathe and swallow become weak. If these problems are severe, you could die. People with certain breathing problems may need to use muscles in their neck to help them breathe and may be at greater risk for serious breathing problems with XEOMIN®.

Swallowing problems may last for several months, and during that time you may need a feeding tube to receive food and water. If swallowing problems are severe, food or liquids may go into your lungs. People who already have swallowing or breathing problems before receiving XEOMIN® have the highest risk of getting these problems.

Spread of toxin effects. In some cases, the effect of botulinum toxin may affect areas of the body away from the injection site and cause symptoms of a serious condition called botulism. The symptoms of botulism include: loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, loss of bladder control, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing.

Do not take XEOMIN if you: are allergic to it or any of the ingredients; had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product such as rimabotulinumtoxinB (Myobloc®), onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox®, Botox® Cosmetic), or abobotulinumtoxinA (Dysport®); have a skin infection at the planned injection site.

Before you take XEOMIN, tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you have a disease that affects your muscles and nerves (such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease], myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome), as you may be at increased risk of serious side effects including difficulty swallowing or breathing. Tell your doctor if you have: had any side effect from any other botulinum toxin in the past; breathing problems such as asthma or emphysema; a history of swallowing problems or inhaling food or fluid into your lungs (aspiration); bleeding problems; drooping eyelids; plans to have surgery; had surgery on your face. Also, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant (it is not known if XEOMIN can harm your unborn baby); are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed (it is not known if XEOMIN passes into breast milk).

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and herbal products. Using XEOMIN with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines until you have told your doctor that you have received XEOMIN in the past.

Especially tell your doctor if you have received any other botulinum toxin product in the last four months or in the past. Be sure your doctor knows exactly which product you received. The dose of XEOMIN may be different from other botulinum toxin products that you have received. Tell your doctor if you: have recently received an antibiotic by injection; take muscle relaxants; take an allergy or cold medicine; take a sleep medicine; take a blood thinner medicine.

XEOMIN may cause loss of strength or general muscle weakness, blurred vision, or drooping eyelids within hours to weeks of taking XEOMIN. If this happens, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities.

XEOMIN may cause other serious side effects including allergic reactions. Symptoms of an allergic reaction to XEOMIN may include: itching, rash, redness, swelling, wheezing, asthma symptoms, or dizziness or feeling faint. Tell your doctor or get medical help right away if you get wheezing or asthma symptoms, or if you get dizzy or faint.

Other side effects of XEOMIN include: dry mouth, discomfort or pain at the injection site, tiredness, headache, neck pain, muscle weakness, and eye problems, including double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, swelling of your eyelids, and dry eyes. Reduced blinking can also occur. Tell your doctor or get medical help right away if you have eye pain or irritation following treatment.

Tell your doctor if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away. These are not all the possible side effects of XEOMIN. For more information, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

As we age, our bodies’ natural collagen production diminishes, and existing collagen degrades due to sun exposure and toxins. This creates oxidants that damage DNA, cell membranes, and collagen fibers. Wrinkles appear and skin sags. Collagen, a natural protein, is a key structural component that keeps skin youthful, smooth and wrinkle-free. Sculptra Aesthetic works to correct shallow and deep facial wrinkles and folds, as it replaces lost collagen, which can help provide a refined, more youthful looking appearance. Your skin will produce more collagen to generate more volume which creates a lifting, youthful effect on sagging skin.

With Sculptra Aesthetic, there is now a volumizer that rejuvenates the face subtly over time. Sculptra Aesthetic is an injectable that has been approved by the FDA to stimulate natural collagen production and is used for volume deficiencies and facial wrinkles. When injected into the skin, the body’s natural response is to stimulate collagen production. The results appear gradually, over a few months, and typically two to three sessions are required in order to achieve optimal results.

Sculptra Aesthetic works gradually and subtly over time to reinforce collagen structure which provides a foundation that gradually restores the look of shallow to deep wrinkles and folds that have been depleted over time and restore your youthful facial structures. With Sculptra Aesthetic, the results can last more than two years. Wrinkles and facial features are restored providing a refined, more youthful looking appearance.

Where is Sculptra Used?

Our skilled dermatologists use Sculptra Aesthetic to address key facial areas using a special injection method. Our team will discuss your individual needs and desired results to develop a treatment plan using the best fillers and injectibles for you. Sculptra Aesthetic is most commonly used for the following areas:

• Heavy nasolabial folds
• Gauntness in the face
• Depressed areas around the temples
• Jowling
• Chin wrinkles
• Cheek hollows

During a consultation appointment, our physicians will address all cosmetic concerns and determine whether Sculptra Aesthetic is the right dermal filler for you. Most patients require 2 to 3 treatments in order to achieve desired results.

Not all cosmetic dermatologists are the same. With six dermatologists on staff, our team combines their years of experience and artistic skills to target key areas and attain desired results for our patients. With Sculptra Aesthetic, patients are able to see gradual changes in facial contours, allowing for subtle, yet noticeable anti-aging effects.

What is Restylane?

Restylane is a line of dermal fillers that is approved by the FDA for the treatment of nasolabial folds (the lines that connect the nose to the corners of the mouth), marionette lines (depressions next to chin), lip enhancement, cheek augmentation and hand enhancement.

The Restylane family of products includes:

• Restylane Lyft: provides a lift to the cheeks by adding volume, which can correct and smooth smile lines (nasolabial folds)
• Restylane Silk: specifically designed for lip augmentation and the smoothing of wrinkles around the mouth.
• Restylane Refyne: helps soften laugh lines (nasolabial folds and marionette lines)
• Restylane Defyne: smooths out deeper laugh lines

Restylane is also commonly used off-label to improve the depressions under the eyes, or the tear troughs, or fixed wrinkles on the face. Restylane can also be used for lip augmentation for fuller, softer-looking lips.

Is Restylane Right For Me?

Restylane is an excellent dermal filler for adult patients who are in good health and have realistic outcomes for their procedure. Restylane provides an excellent structure for stubborn to treat areas and wrinkles in areas of greater movement. Patients with moderate to severe lines around the mouth tend to see the best superior results with Restylane injections.

What Should I Expect From My Treatment?

Your Restylane treatment should take less than an hour to perform. Patients will be requested to arrive early for photographs and application of a topical numbing agent. As with any injection, there is a risk of bruising, temporary discomfort, or swelling after the injection. The medication can attract water, so the swelling may take a few weeks to resolve fully.

Treatment around the lips can be particularly prone to bruising, and a nerve block can be offered to improve comfort. These effects can often be minimized with ice and concealer can be applied following treatment.

Otherwise, there is no downtime or recovery associated with the injections, and patients can exercise or return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

Bruising can be prevented by avoiding blood-thinning medications (aspirin, Vitamin E, fish oil, ibuprofen) starting 2 weeks prior to the procedure. Heavy alcohol should be avoided in the days prior to treatment. Arnica pellets taken 1 week prior can also minimize bruising and swelling. These can be purchased in our dermatology office, or at a local store,

How Soon Will I See Results?*

The results are also immediately seen, though the final results can take a few weeks to appreciate if any swelling occurs. With full corrections, results can last 6-12 months. The act of injection can also stimulate collagen to grow, which can be even more long-lasting.

RADIESSE^® is a dual-action dermal filler that adds volume to the face to diminish facial wrinkles and folds and stimulate your own collagen to grow. Radiesse can fill out the hollows in cheeks and smooth wrinkles. It is a gel that contains microspheres of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) in a gel base. It is biostimulatory, meaning once injected, it provides immediate volume and correction but continues to work by stimulating the body to produce its own natural collagen. Over time, the gel is absorbed and the body metabolizes the CaHA microspheres leaving behind only your own natural collagen.

It contains lidocaine to significantly reduce injection pain. It is clinically proven to last a year or more. Radiesse is an excellent option to plump your skin for immediate smoothing results and a long-lasting natural look.

What Areas does Radiesse Treat?

Radiesse works well for smile lines (nasolabial folds) that run from the corners of your nose to the outside corners of your mouth. These lines can make you appear old, tired, and unhappy. Plumping them can enhance your smile and create an overall appearance of youth.

Marionette lines run from the corners of your mouth down to your chin and can make your mouth turn downwards giving the appearance of being unhappy, angry or sad in addition to making you look older than you are. They are caused by ligaments attached to the skin from the underlying muscles. As we age, the ligaments stretch and the skin in this area begins to sag. This is why these lines are so frustrating.

Radiesse can also be used to treat the corners of the mouth and the pre-jowl sulcus located next to the chin, where the loss of volume can give the appearance of an angry face or scowl.

As of June 2015, Radiesse was and is the first and only FDA approved filler for hand augmentation to correct volume loss in the back of the hands that give away your age. It restores volume and provides a natural appearance by reducing the prominence of veins and tendons on the back of the hands.

Radiesse has Been Proven to:

• Immediately replenish lost volume and stimulate natural collagen production
• Provide results that last a year or more
• Provide high patient satisfaction

Adverse effects are mild and short-lived, including bruising, redness and swelling.

What is Juvederm?

Is Juvederm Right For Me?

Almost any adult who is in otherwise good health can benefit from Juvederm fillers. If you’re bothered by visible signs of aging throughout the face, you may be a good fit for Juvederm. The hyaluronic acid-based fillers have a low risk of allergic reaction and can be used for patients with all skin types and textures. Because the Juvederm line of fillers is so vast, patients can easily address their individual concerns.

What Should I Expect From My Treatment?

Juvederm procedures typically take less than 15-minutes to perform and are done as a one-time treatment. The treatment area is marked before your skin care specialist applies the injectable directly to your problem areas at precise depths for an optimal outcome. Most patients tolerate the procedure quite well thanks to an ultra-fine needle and lidocaine-enhanced formulas.

Juvederm products use a Hyaluronic Acid (HA) base which works to plump and hydrate aging skin. Fine lines and wrinkles are filled in resulting in a smoother facial appearance. Thin lips or lost facial volume can also be addressed with specific Juvederm formulas.

Patients can return to normal activities immediately following treatment without restrictions. You may experience slight swelling, tenderness, or bruising particularly in sensitive areas such as the lips. However, these side effects typically subside quickly and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and/or concealer.

How Soon Will I See Results?

The procedure instantly adds volume where needed for a naturally youthful appearance. In most cases, you can see an instant improvement with Juvederm soft tissue fillers. Only one treatment is necessary to meet most anti-aging goals. An optimal outcome will depend on the treatment area and formula used. Patients should consider getting Juvederm 1 week before any big event.

Over time, your body will naturally reabsorb the filler. Juvederm fillers can last anywhere from 6-months to 2+ years based on your individual needs and concerns. The injectable can safely and effectively be done as needed to maintain long-lasting results.

What Is Dysport?

Dysport is a non-surgical solution for deep dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements. Patients can treat a broad range of concerns in a single area with the unique injectable. Dysport has minimal pain, side effects, or downtime making wrinkle reduction incredibly easy.

With a single in-office treatment, patients can naturally smooth wrinkles for 3-4 months. Dysport works similarly to that of Botox injections by temporarily limiting muscle movement around the treatment area. Aside from cosmetic applications, Dysport has been used for certain neurological disorders for over a decade.

Is Dysport Right for Me?

Dysport may be right for you if you’d like to temporarily improve the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead lines (glabellar lines), or frown lines. Dysport reduces visible signs of aging while allowing you to retain natural facial movement.

Dysport also makes an excellent treatment for preventative care. The injectable helps keep aging at bay by limiting the severity of commonly used expressions. Many patients opt to have 2-3 treatments annually to maintain a youthful-looking appearance.

Some patients may be better suited for dermal fillers to address their aesthetic concerns. During your in-person consult, your skin care specialist will help determine if Dysport is right for you.

What Should I Expect from My Treatment?

Dysport treatments are done in-office and take approximately 15-minutes. While it is most often well tolerated, a topical numbing agent may be applied beforehand to keep you comfortable throughout. This treatment requires fewer injection sites for larger areas when compared to similar treatments.

Dysport is a unique form of botulinum toxin type A. Once injected, the specialized formula quickly works to block nerve signals allowing wrinkles to relax. Your injector specialist will apply it directly to the offending wrinkles for an optimal outcome sans complications.

There is no need for recovery after your appointment making the treatment accessible for patients with busy lifestyles. You’re free to get back to work or your daily routine immediately. While side effects are typically rare, you may experience slight swelling, redness, or pinpoint bleeding at the injection site. Most side effects should resolve themselves within 24-72 hours.

How Soon Will I See Results?

Dysport is fairly fast-acting. Many patients begin to see initial results within just 2-5 days. Continued improvement will gradually occur up to 2-weeks for a subtle, yet dramatic change. It can last from 3-4 months depending on the treatment area and the severity of your concerns. The injectable is safe and effective as needed for wrinkle reduction.

Have you recently noticed patches of thinning hair?

Are you concerned by the amount of hair your shower drain collects? Is hiding your hair loss becoming more difficult with time? Would you like to combat early-onset hereditary hair loss before it becomes a bigger problem? If so, you may want to consider enlisting the help of non-surgical PRP hair restoration at Laser Skin Care Center.

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) for hair restoration is a quick and easy procedure that helps reverse hair loss and stimulates new growth. The procedure is safe and effective for both men and women with hair thinning or loss of all types. PRP for hair restoration can be done as a stand-alone procedure or paired with medications to encourage further growth.

How Does PRP for Hair Restoration Work?

Platelet Rich Plasma is a unique therapy that uses your own blood to trigger natural hair regrowth. PRP is packed with a high concentration of essential platelets, stem cells, and other growth factors known to improve hair thickness. The procedure is done in a simple 3-step process which includes a blood draw and isolation and concentration of platelets which are then injected into the scalp.

Consultations Are Available Now

Our expert providers here at Laser Skin Care Center would be happy to meet with you for an in-person consultation. Simply fill out the form on this page, and one of our trusted staff members will reach out to promptly to schedule your consultation.

Am I a Good Candidate for PRP?

Most people who would like to slow the progression of hair loss are good candidates for hair restoration with PRP. Men and women with androgenic alopecia can benefit from the procedure. Although the procedure can improve follicle thickness and stimulate new cell growth, patients with early-onset hair loss tend to respond best.

PRP for Hair Restoration can:

• Prevent Excessive Shedding
• Slow Hair Thinning
• Improve Hair Quality
• Increase the Number of Active Follicles

Patients who would like to reverse premature hair loss should consider PRP treatments as soon as they notice a problem to prevent further thinning. Your hair restoration specialist will determine your candidacy for the procedure at the time of your initial consultation.

How Long Does a Typical Treatment Take?

PRP for hair loss is a somewhat meticulous procedure that takes careful skill and knowledge of the anatomy. Injections are placed at follicle level and spaced approximately every half an inch along the treatment area. The entire process can vary based on the number of injections needed. However, you can expect treatment times to range from 30 to 60 minutes.

What Results Will I See?

Initial results from PRP for hair restoration can be seen approximately 2-3 months after your first in-office visit. First, you will see a decline in hair loss. After which, you’ll begin to see hair regrow and lengthen. Eventually, you’ll have a fuller head of hair with thicker hair shafts.

Most patients need a series of 4 treatments spaced 1-month apart to get the results they want. Once desired results are achieved, maintenance treatments can be scheduled every 4-6 months to maintain hair growth.

Is There Any Downtime?

PRP Therapy for hair loss has limited side effects. However, you may experience slight redness, tenderness, or swelling at or around the injection site.

Is your dull, damaged skin keeping you from feeling your best self possible?

Are you tired of looking tired? Are you ready to reverse the effects of aged or sun damaged skin? Would you like a minimally-invasive procedure to optimize your skin’s health? If so, it might be a good time to start thinking about PRP Therapy for Facial Rejuvenation at Laser Skin Care Center.

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy is a time-tested method for total facial rejuvenation. The minimally-invasive procedure is customized based on the patient’s needs and can be tailored to address his or her individual concerns while also restoring younger, firmer-looking skin. PRP Therapy is done in a simple in-office visit.

How Does PRP for Facial Rejuvenation Work?

PRP Therapy uses growth factors derived from your own blood. Prior to treatment, you’ll give a small sample of blood which will be sent to our lab for preparation. Platelet Rich Plasma can be administered either via injection or topically applied before or after a minimally-invasive procedure such as micro-needling or laser treatments.

When administered via injection, the PRP serum is delivered to precise points allowing it to mimic surrounding tissue. The process creates collagen and elastin production for long-term anti-aging effects.

PRP can also be applied topically to enhance the results of minimally-invasive procedures. This allows the serum to penetrate to the deeper tissue layers promoting faster cellular turnover. The result is a more dramatic outcome with less downtime.

Am I a Good Candidate for PRP?

Nearly anyone can benefit from PRP Therapy. Because the procedure uses your own blood, the risk for infection or allergic reaction is minimal compared to traditional soft tissue fillers. PRP Therapy is safe and effective for all skin types, textures, and tones.

You may be a good fit for PRP Therapy if you’d like to maximize the effects of facial rejuvenation procedures. PRP Therapy can;

• Smooth Fine Lines & Wrinkles
• Minimize Acne Scars & Pore Size
• Even Out Skin Texture
• Improve Overall Skin Health

PRP treatments are suitable for men and women of all ages. Whether you’re looking to reverse visible signs of aging or sun damage, or simply want a preventative solution for keeping skin youthful, PRP can help. Your provider or cosmetic consultant will determine your candidacy and customize a treatment plan at the time of your initial consultation.

How Long Does a Typical Treatment Take?

Treatment times can vary based on the method enlisted. While PRP injections can take just a few minutes, it can take much longer if applied following another procedure. In most cases, patients can plan to be in and out of the office within about 1-2 hours. Your skincare specialist can help you plan for your visit beforehand.

What Results Will I See?

PRP injections are used to enhance collagen growth, restore hydration, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Several sessions may be needed to achieve an optimal outcome.

PRP Therapy in conjunction with micro-needling or laser treatments can produce exceptional results including total facial rejuvenation. Results are often visible about 1-2 weeks post-treatment. The longevity of your topically-applied PRP treatment is dependent on the severity of your condition and treatment it’s paired with.

Is There Any Downtime?

PRP for facial rejuvenation is typically a minimal downtime procedure on its own. When paired with other procedures like micro-needling, you can expect 2-3 days for recovery. When applied after laser treatments, you may need anywhere from 1-3 days to fully heal. Platelet Rich Plasma promotes a speedy recovery when combined with any treatment helping patients get back to their daily routine more quickly.
