Good skin care means avoiding sun damage using sunscreens, as well as using a good moisturizer.
Our Glyderm line of skin care products and make-up is non-comedogenic and includes sunscreen, cleanser as well as moisturizer. Alpha-hydroxy acids or AHA is milder on the skin compared to
Retin-A.
Kinerase in cream or lotion form also has recently been added to the product line. This greatly improves compliance rather than the harsher Retin-A products.
After facial cosmetic surgery, we recommend Glyderm products to continue the results. Even if no surgery is needed at this time, use of Glyderm products will help preserve the skin moisture and reduce photo-aging.
Skin Medica
offers a line of skin products that we like. In addition, they provide a nice lunch-time peel.
Botox injections to wrinkles is practiced in our office. Frown lines in the forehead as well as crows-feet are routine sites of injection.
Collagen
injections are
used to fill out the superficial wrinkles. Zyplast and Zyderm are trade
names of Collagen. A skin test is necessary 4 weeks prior to the
injections. A newer version (Cosmoplast)is now available the originates
from a human cell line. NO skin test required!
Radiance
may be for more permanent uses, especially after use of Zyplast or
Cosmoplast has been tried.
