Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Before a Botox appointment, do the following to minimize your chance of bruising:

1) avoid fish oil and vitamin E supplements that are known to thin the blood

2) skip alcohol for several days before your treatment and

3) apply arnica cream to the targeted areas a few days before the appointment.

Non-ablative lasers work by heating up the targeted skin without injuring the surface of the skin.  The heat is generated by the laser and delivered into the skin through tiny, deep columns that stimulate collagen production which causes the skin to tighten and look younger and healthier.

We will take a look at your skin type and recommend the number of treatments to see the best results. Darker skin types may need a longer, gentler course of treatment compared to lighter skin types. In general, each treatment will last between 45-60 minutes. You may experience mild to moderate discomfort during the procedure. Topical numbing cream is applied prior to the treatment to help manage discomfort.

After, you will need to avoid sun exposure for several weeks following your treatment. While you may be able to return to work the following day, you will need to avoid any activity that may cause excessive heat to the treatment areas for 24 -48 hours.  Be sure to moisturize frequently!
