From acne to wrinkles and scarring, skin flaws can now be treated effectively with
numerous cosmetic dermatology treatments. Cosmetic dermatology can help turn back
the hands of time on your skin’s appearance and help restore your skin to a healthier
and more youthful appearance.
Most of the procedures available to patients today require a minimum amount of time
– whether for the treatment or in downtime before you’re back to your life. Procedures
and equipment have also lessened the invasive nature of the procedure, which in
turn provides the patient the benefit of a minimal amount of pain. In fact some
of the procedures, such as BOTOX® Cosmetic injections or Collagen treatments take
just minutes.
Dermatology is of course not just for cosmetic purposes but for health reasons as
well. While these procedures improve the appearance of your skin, they can also
improve the health of your skin, and provide treatment for problem skin conditions
such as acne, discolorations, growths, or bothersome conditions like spider veins.
Plus, it can also help you combat the most important of skin conditions – skin cancer.
Procedure Snapshot: Fillers
Dermal fillers are substances that are injected just below the
surface of the skin to fill in lines, wrinkles, and scars to add volume for a
natural youthful appearance. Fillers can also increase the fullness of the lips
and lessen the downward slant of the corner of lips. The most common areas
treated are the smile lines around the nose and mouth, fine lines above the
mouth, frown lines between the eyes, and acne scars.
There are several classes of dermal fillers and more in development that will
become available in the future. At MIMA Dermatology we use Restylane,
Juvederm and Radiesse.
