Skin Resurfacing

Derma Peel provides an excellent alternative to chemical peels

   Sun damage, fine wrinkles, and scars can all be treated successfully with Derma Peel. Derma Peel is a revolutionary new skin restoration process, commonly referred to as the “lunch time peel” because the procedure takes only minutes to perform and most people can return to work immediately. Used at exclusive European spas for more than five years, this unique skin rejuvenation technique has recently received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States.

   This new advancement is an alternative to chemical and laser peels. Because no harsh chemicals or lasers are used to etch the skin, patients can expect no pain, needles, anesthesia, recuperative period, or sunburned look. The Derma Peel procedure uses highly controlled vacuum and pressure to move microscopically abrasive crystals over the surface of the skin. This action causes little or no discomfort while it gently removes the outer layer of the skin. By repeating this process over the course of several weeks or months, the younger, softer skin moves to the surface, revealing significant textural and color changes.

   Treatable Conditions:

• Sun-damaged skin
• Enlarged pores
• Oily and acne prone skin
• Acne scars
• Blackheads & Whiteheads
• Age spots and brown spots
• Fine wrinkles
• Post laser enhancements - neck and décolleté

   Derma Peel is performed in a sterile environment. Treatment time varies from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the severity of the skin problem(s) and the area being treated. Most patients require three to ten treatments. Dr. Davis will outline a treatment plan that is best for you.

   Because the procedure is non-invasive and non-surgical, you may return to your normal activities immediately. You will notice an immediate improvement in the treated area and your skins will be softer, smoother, and appear young looking. These desirable effects will increase over the course of the treatment series.

   Derma Peel is proving to be an excellent alternative to those who are considering chemical peels or laser skin resurfacing but are concerned about the cost, discomfort or long recovery period.
 

Botox can knock out the frown lines

   Whenever we frown, we gather tissue between our eyebrows into a fold. For many of us, this causes a chronic furrow that produces a frustrated and angry look on our faces. This can be alienating to others and upsetting to us. Now, you can make these frown lines disappear without surgery and without scars by a simple treatment of Botox.

   Botox, the trade name of Botulinum Toxin Type A, originally was used for the treatment of lazy eye or uncontrolled eye blinking. Now it is being used by plastic surgeons to achieve a younger appearance. Botox blocks the nerve impulses to muscles, which then results in a form of temporary muscle paralysis.

   Dr. Davis injects an extremely small dosage of Botox directly into the muscle. The action of that specific muscle is then stopped, ridding the area of problem frown lines or twitches. This is an entirely different approach to treating the aging face. Collagen and fat injections work by filling in a wrinkle. These fillers are not as effective as Botox in improving the frown wrinkles between the eyebrows.

   By physiologically weakening the muscles, these wrinkles are removed naturally. The treatment takes only a few minutes to administer and takes effect over the next two or three days. Botox is most effective for the frown lines between the eyebrows but can also be used to lessen the horizontal wrinkles in the central portion of the forehead.
