SKIN CHANGES ARE A NORMAL PART OF THE

aging process. As we age, skin becomes less elastic, oil glands

lubricate less effectively and the cells controlling pigmentation

can malfunction. However, overwhelming evidence indicates

that many undesirable skin changes such as fine lines, wrinkles,

brown spots, sagging skin and broken blood vessels are, in fact,

more related to repeated sun exposure than the passage of time.

Smoking, stress, excessive alcohol consumption, improper diet

and pollution also affect the condition of the skin.

If you have fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging there

are many treatment options available that are safe, effective

and can subtract years from your appearance.

The board certified dermatologists of NEDA have developed

this guidebook if you are interested in rejuvenating your facial

appearance. If you have questions about the information provided

in this booklet, please ask your doctor or make an appointment

for a free consultation with one of our clinical aestheticians.

BootxBOTOX® TREATMENTS HAVE BEEN used for

decades to treat medical problems related to the eyes.

In 2002, Botox was approved by the FDA for cosmetic

use. In 2009, a similar product called Dysport® was also

approved by the FDA for cosmetic use. These treatments

are particularly effective for decreasing “crow’s feet,” frown

lines between the eyebrows, and horizontal lines on the

forehead. When injected into specific spots of the affected

area, they cause the treated muscle to relax temporarily.

This eases the appearance of lines and wrinkles and helps

prevent new ones from forming.

Continued maintenance is vital to the effectiveness of

Botox and Dysport. Treatments every 3 to 5 months are

best for maintaining desired results.

MANY OF THE AGING CHANGES ON THE FACE CAN BE

improved by the use of “fillers” that restore youthful facial volume.

These natural based products can smooth away the unwanted lines

and folds around the mouth and nose. Treatment can usually be

performed in 1 to 3 sessions depending on the filler, with minimal

pain and downtime. We use many different products such as

Juvederm,® Radiesse,® Sculptra Aesthetic® and Restylane.® Results last

from 6 months to 2 years. Since there is not a “one size f its all”

approach to these therapies, we prefer to meet with each of you,

tailoring treatment to meet your individual needs, as well as your budget.

FRAXEL TREATMENTS PROVIDE A SAFE, EFFECTIVE

and non-invasive procedure that can take years off your appearance.

Fraxel treatments address fine lines, wrinkles, furrows, skin texture,

age/sun spots, acne scars, uneven pigmentation and melasma. In other

words, Fraxel creates smoother, fresher, younger looking skin with

improved texture and pore size while diminishing fine lines. Patients

typically need 1 to 3 treatments.

FRAXEL

+THE TERM LASER IS AN ACRONYM for Light Amplification Simulated

Emission of Radiation. Lasers convert electrical energy into light energy, with

many applications. Dermatologists have used lasers since the 1960s for treatment

of various skin conditions. In recent years, advances in research and development

have given lasers a significant advantage over other cosmetic skin therapies.

In addition to the Hair Removal and CO2 Resurfacing lasers the board certified

dermatologists at NEDA use lasers to treat vascular lesions, fine lines, pigmented

lesions, warts, stretch marks and tattoos.

Photodynamic Therapy (or Blue-Light) is a narrow band, high intensity visible

blue light approved by the FDA for treating precancerous skin lesions. It also

represents the most widely accepted light therapy for acne treatment.
