Repairing the effects of aging using non-surgical combination therapies
Rust never sleeps. Cell replication is subject to error. Sun damage, gravity and the ravages of time eventually get to everyone. It’s up to us to maintain healthy eating and exercise habits to keep us young metabolically. Keeping our skin in great shape and repairing the ravages of time require differing approaches for different people.
The past 25 years have seen the invention of treatment technologies that reverse and repair many symptoms of aging without surgery. Dr. Seltzer has been at the forefront of these developments and we have done tens of thousands of treatments.
Each person ages in their own particular way, suggesting individual approaches to treatment. The following are the main treatments for the most common problem areas. We can make most patients look years younger by combining the appropriate techniques.
Thermage is the leading skin tightening/collagen-stimulating treatment, which not only firms up laxity and jowling, but also helps the body regenerate the collagen that firms and structures the skin. Using Thermage can keep the face and neck from needing surgical intervention to maintain youthful appearances.
Fraxel is used to repair and resurface the skin, reducing wrinkles, brown spots and generally restoring the glow of younger skin –because you are literally left with younger skin. Fraxel re:store is non-ablative, requiring 3 treatments with no downtime. Fraxel re:pair is ablative skin resurfacing and requires only one treatment, with downtime ranging from 4 to 14 days. Both treatments fractionate the energy, allowing surrounding unaffected skin cells to hasten healing.
Our Q-switched YAG and Q-switched Alexandrite lasershave wavelengths specifically absorbed by the pigment in brown spot lesions, which destroys the melanin.
Fillers, including Restylane, Radiesse, Sculptra are used to restore youthful contours of the face and lips, as well as deeper lines around the mouth and nose and frown lines between the eyes.
Botox® Cosmeticis used to relax and reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes and mouth.
The skillful use of these and other treatments will take ten years off the age of many patients. Please come in for a complimentary consultation to see how you might benefit from combining these state-of-the-art treatments.
