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.

Dr. Derick is wonderful. My daughter has severe eczema and I went to Dr. Derick after numerous dissapointing, unsuccesful visits to her pediatrican (& others), and a bad flare up of my daughters eczema. We arrived to a very clean, impressive office, with very polite and professional staff. We were taken into a room where a nurse evaluated my daughter. It did take a while for Dr. Derick to finally get to our room, but once she came in, I was very pleased with the outcome. She was very detailed in her explanation of eczema, and explained more about it than any other doctor had that I met with. She diagnosed my daughter (confirming eczema), and suggested ways in which I could reduce the eczema. Again, at the time of my visit, my daughter had a severe flare up and we didn't know what to do anymore...we were at our wit's end. She gave us a few Rx's, gave us very detailed instructions & "tricks", and by the next day, my daughter's flare up was significantly decreased. I am so pleased with her, and when necessary, I will continue to go back.
