Resource Center: Facial Rejuvenation

There’s no denying it: the idea of getting older can be a frightening thought. It’s not uncommon for people to want to turn back the clock, or go back in time before all the complications of age start affecting them. Unfortunately, no one’s invented a device that can undo age – but they have come up with ways to at least offset the appearance of age.

Juvederm is an injectable gel implant that includes hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural complex sugar that bolsters skin elasticity, providing a smooth and supple appearance. It is biocompatible, and supplements the body's natural hyaluronic acid, which becomes depleted with age.

The Juvederm Procedure

Transparent Juvederm gel is injected by syringe into the mid- to deep dermis (sub-surface layer that contains connective tissue, nerve endings, sweat and oil glands, and blood vessels) of your face.

Every day our skin is exposed to the elements and over the years the combination of damaging sun, pollution, and the general effects of aging can take its toll. A chemical peel can help reduce or eliminate the wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging that may appear over time. A chemical peel can also be used as part of an acne treatment program and makes a huge improvement in acne scars, giving the skin a healthy, fresh glow. Even men are turning to chemical peels as an alternative route to the more traditional cosmetic surgery.

The Cure for Skin Problems

While you may not realize it, dermabrasion has been around for over 100 years and it is still a good method of removing many skin problems that threaten a healthy and youthful appearance.  It is the perfect option for those who are trying to keep up with their skin care and are just looking to touch up a few trouble spots on their skin. Dermabrasion can work wonders in removing some unsightly scarring due to acne or chicken pox.
