Fraxel Laser
Fraxel treatments improve tone, texture and radiance of the skin to address signs of aging, sun damage or scarring. It is for those who want to look younger without dramatic changes or extended downtime. Otherwise known as fractional resurfacing, it is a revolutionary treatment for:
Fine lines and wrinkles like crow’s feet and brow lines.
Surface scarring helping to erase the effects of acne and other issues.
Pigmentation to diminish the appearance of age spots.
Improving the appearance of sun-damaged skin.
How it works
Fraxel laser treatment targets aging and sun-damaged skin with microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into your skin to expedite your body’s remodeling of collagen. Since the laser treats only a fraction of tissue at a time, it leaves the surrounding tissue intact, and that promotes rapid healing. This treatment stimulates the growth of new, healthy skin cells from the inside out.
Ask Dr. Mullans if a Fraxel treatment will help you meet your skin care goals.
Injectable Fillers
Dermal fillers help to restore lost fullness to the face, lips, and hands. The loss of fullness is a natural occurrence as we age and fillers are a popular treatment. Injectable wrinkle fillers, unlike BOTOX injections that relax the muscle under a wrinkle, fill the line, crease, or area with one of several different substances providing immediate results. Some fillers require a few treatments.
Most people return to everyday activities immediately after getting fillers. With a number of fillers now available, we can diminish signs of aging that appear on the face, lips, and hands. Wrinkle fillers can also be used as "volumizers," plumping and lifting cheeks, chins, jawlines, and temples; filling out thin lips, and plumping sagging hands.
Fillers can effectively:
Restore fullness to cheeks, hollow areas under the eyes, and deep creases
Diminish scars
Erase fine lines
Plump lips
Lift the brow or a down-turned mouth
Rejuvenate hands
Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, increases the skin’s natural ability to produce collagen and elastin. A small instrument with dozens of fine, short needles is put against the skin to create microscopic “injuries.” They trigger the skin’s natural healing process to produce new collagen and to restore a smooth and clearer complexion.
Most of our patients see an immediate glow and full improvement takes from two to four weeks. Typically, we do a series of treatments on patients depending on the condition of the skin. The procedure is used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, large pore size, acne scars, sun damage, texture issues and age spots.
