Your delicate skin is often the first place that telltale signs of aging appear. Sun exposure, stress, lack of proper hydration, and genetics all affect the quality of your skin. If you’re looking for a way to combat wrinkling, discoloration, and other skin problems, investing in nonsurgical skin rejuvenation can be easy on your wallet while producing instant rewards.

Dr. Robert Aycock offers a bounty of solutions for improving skin tone and texture. Consider any of the following options as a cost-effective way to enhance the appearance of your skin and look years younger.

• Laser resurfacing uses focused beams of light from Sciton’s Contour Tunable Resurfacing Laser (TRL™) for safe laser treatment. These treatments are useful in minimizing  the look of irregular contours and other issues. The Sciton laser system utilizes Full Field Resurfacing (Contour), MicroLaserPeel™, and Fractional Resurfacing (ProFractional™) with TRL technology to smooth lines and tighten skin. Sciton laser treatments like the MicroLaserPeel™, ProFractional Therapy™, BroadBand Light (BBL™) and SkinTyte Photofacial Therapy™ provide a painless way to refresh facial, neck, extremity and body skin without surgery.
• Spider vein treatment is conducted using three methods — sclerotherapy, laser light, and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) — to reduce or eliminate the look of spider veins caused by weight gain, aging, pregnancy, medication, and genetics. Patients with dark skin tone or very tanned skin are generally not good candidates for treatment of veins with laser therapy.
• Laser hair removal is effortless with the Sciton Profile ClearScan™ and BroadBand Light Hair Reduction procedure, which targets underarms, face, legs, back and most other skin surfaces.
• BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport™ are nonsurgical wrinkle treatments that can be done on your lunch hour and is great for targeting wrinkling around the eyebrows, neck bands, lip lines, and crow’s feet.
• Chemical peels and facials refresh your appearance by removing top layers of old skin to reveal new skin underneath. Choose from a variety of types, including Intraceutical® Oxygen Facials, Vitamin C Facials, Glycolic Facials, Pumpkin Enzyme Peels, and Vitalize Peels® for gorgeous, glowing skin.
• Juvederm®, Juvederm® Ultra Plus , Restylane® and Perlane® are injectable gels which treat nasolabial folds, thinning lips, and facial wrinkles. Injectable dermal filler delivers a high concentration of hyaluronic acid to minimize facial wrinkling.

• RADIESSE® is an injectable filler that uses calcium hydroxylapatite for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds.
• Sculptra® Aesthetic is intended for use in people with healthy immune systems as a one-time treatment regimen of up to 4 injection sessions that are scheduled about three weeks apart for the correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles. Sculptra® combats facial fat loss by improving skin’s volume in areas that have lost their “plumpness.”

If you’ve been tossing around the idea of cosmetic surgery, you most likely have a specific procedure in mind already. At the office of Dr. Robert Aycock, we like to take the first consultation as an opportunity to present you with your wide range of options for surgical and nonsurgical enhancement. Often two or more procedures performed during the same visit or around the same time can give you dramatic results by accentuating features you like and downplaying those you don’t.

BOTOX® isn’t a miracle cure for wrinkles. BOTOX Cosmetic from Allergan is an international phenomenon that noticeably softens wrinkles brought on by aging, smoking, and environmental damage. This non-surgical wrinkle reduction treatment has been changing faces and improving confidence in the United States since its FDA approval in 2002.

BOTOX works by targeting the muscle, thereby forcing the skin above it to relax and smooth out. Countless men and women have used this advanced facial rejuvenation treatment to fight back against the signs of facial aging and temporarily improve the look of facial wrinkling.

The Secret to BOTOX Success

Here’s how it works:

• Dr. Robert Aycock or one of our Aesthetic Nurse Specialists injects BOTOX into specific facial areas like the lines between your brows that make you look grumpy, forehead creases, and the area around your eyes most commonly referred to as crow’s feet.

• BOTOX therapy works by blocking the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, causing the muscles to become weakened or paralyzed.

• Results can last anywhere from three to six months, with retreatment generally recommended about three to four times per year.

BOTOX Safety

BOTOX has been used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including eyelid spasms, neck spasms, cerebral palsy, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), severe neck and back pain, and strabismus (eye misalignment). It is deemed safe for use in small doses by the FDA when handled by a trained medical professional. To find additional information on safety and side effects, please visit the Allergan BOTOX® page.

If you are searching for a way to improve the appearance of facial wrinkles, Dr. Aycock can help you understand the benefits of BOTOX and present other non-surgical medspa treatments that can help. Check back next week when we’ll be talking about the dermal filler Sculptra,™ another effective and popular anti-aging solution.
