When you are ready to be evaluated for an aging face, give me a call. I will assess your loss of volume and your severity of descending tissue. If your tissue descent is mild, your problems can be easily addressed with Restylane Lyft, or Voluma. For lip lines there is Restylane Silk. Adding volume results in immediate improvement.

Next, I consider the severity of the lines due to animation. The muscles that create those lines can be relaxed thru the use of Botox or Dysport resulting in smoother skin. Botox and Dysport take up to two weeks to fully onset. A major rejuvenation can take as few as 30 minutes.

In addition, women can find themselves growing facial hair as a result of hormonal changes. There is no need to live with that. Laser hair removal is a permanent solution for as long as the hair is pigmented. Once it turns gray, it is very difficult to treat. Permanent hair removal is completed in eight treatments, four weeks apart.

Although injectable remedies are relatively immediately, there are many things that need be done to improve the quality of our skin as it ages too. This will take some time. The damage didn’t show up overnight and it won’t be resolved that quickly either. There are many products to keep our skin looking vibrant as well.

The first thing to do is prevent further damage. Wear sunscreen every day. Ultraviolet rays are the leading cause of premature aging of the skin. Most of the damage we see on our face today was accumulated years before. The second thing is to begin to correct the damage through use of medical grade skin care products, or cosmeceuticals.

Skinceuticals is a brand that we prefer because its products are backed by scientific research. We carry a line of preventive products, protective products, and a line of corrective products that you use at home. These can be enhanced combined by the addition of professional products that are applied in our office by a licensed medical aesthetician.

Whether you want to change your skin slowly with little down time, or are ready to see results in about 10 days through a more aggressive application, we offer options for everyone. Either way, a proper skin analysis is always your first step. Come see us at our office in Coeur d’Alene! Call for your free consultation and skin analysis.
