Wrinkles are the last thing anyone wants on their face. Those lines across your forehead, the “elevens” between your eyes, or the crow’s feet and wrinkles around your mouth. They make us look much older than we feel. They typically are the result of years of sun exposure with little sun protection. Our skin becomes damaged and our collagen and elastin proteins become degraded. The skin cells look less healthy and vibrant. Some of us have had to resort to surgery in the past to lift up sagging skin.

Fortunately skin science has developed a wide variety of new technologies to restore skin’s youthful look, without having to go under the knife. The goal is to heal the skin’s damage and improve the appearance of wrinkles. New dermal fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm can fill in unwanted lines, Botox, and laser treatments such as Fraxel and SmartSkin can improve the skin’s form. A dermatologist or skin care expert can help. Call today to schedule a consultation to learn more about the options for rejuvenating your skin.

He is the most experienced cosmetic dermatologist on the US and one of the great minds of medicine. If you have a severe skin condition that requires cosmetic laser surgery he is the one to go to. I highly reccommend him. I am a physician and one of his many greatful patients for a lifetime of excellent work.
