“Dermal cosmetic fillers such as Perlane, Juvederm, Radiesse or Restylane are used to replace volume loss in the lips, cheeks & naso-labial folds around the nose and mouth that are usually caused by natural fat pad loss in the cheeks. Fillers act as an instant liquid face-lift to replace loss volume” informs James Farrell M.D.-plastic surgeon & medical director of Winter Park Laser. Botox and Dysport have also become increasingly popular amongst men as they are finally realizing they have to get in the “cosmetic game” to keep up with their younger looking counter parts.

“Men are starting to get concerned with their physical appearance, and it is only becoming more popular, many laser treatments like ablative or non-ablative fractional laser resurfacing or IPL (intense pulsed light) photo-facials to erase sun damage and wrinkles are very popular” says Dr James Farrell, plastic surgeon, Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center. They can now have treatments performed that erase wrinkles within 20-60 minutes and have very little down-time so that no one knows what they have had done.

At Winter Park Laser at our medical spa in Orlando we treat men of all ages and walks of life-from typical masculine construction workers to male models-dermal fillers, laser treatments and Botox offer all men a simple alternative to looking older than their partners-it also helps in a competitive job market where looking younger could help seal the deal on a job contract.

Unfortunately the media often depicts chemical peels in movies and TV as scary, red tomato faces with weeks of downtime, but that is not the case. There are light (superficial), medium and strong depth chemical Peels and they differ in how deep they penetrate the skin layers. The deeper the penetration, the more extensive the rejuvenation and recovery time. It is always a good idea to start with light peels first to prepare the skin and then ease into stronger peels. Chemical Peels are a great way to rejuvenate and maintain skin after acne treatments or any type of laser skin resurfacing treatments.

Here are a few examples of various chemical peels from Glytone or IMAGE Skin care that we use at our Medical Spa under Physician Supervision and like:
Alpha Hydroxy Acid Peel:
An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peel is a superficial-depth peel. It is the mildest type of peel formulation. The advantage of the mild nature of the AHA peel is that while the effect is mild, there is no extended downtime. People can return to work after the peel, although the application of make-up is discouraged for at least three hours after the peel. AHA peels help to treat fine, superficial skin wrinkles and sun damage. It can be used on people of all skin colors and it can be used on areas other than the face, such as the neck, chest, arms and hands. The most common type of AHA peel is the glycolic acid peel.

TCA Orange Peel: A physician grade TCA/Salicylic Acid Peel that aggressively treats aging and sun-damaged skin. A revolutionary treatment that will rejuvenate skin in one treatment (45 minute
Jessner’s Peel:
Jessner’s peel is a superficial-depth peel. It is appropriate for people requiring a deeper peel. Because it is a combination of salicylic acid, lactic acid (an AHA), and resorcinol, it reaches deeper into the skin than an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peel or beta hydroxy acid (BHA) peel alone. A Jessner’s peel can be used to lighten areas of hyper-pigmentation (unsightly darkening), treat acne and acne scars, and improve the appearance of photo-damaged and sun-damaged skin.

Vi Peel™: The VI peel is a strong peel created to reverse the signs of aging and sun damage on the skin and is safe for all skin types! The Vi Peel improves the tone, texture, and clarity of your skin, reduces age spots, stimulates collagen, and can improve acne skin conditions. It is powerful enough to make a serious improvement after just one treatment and works at the cellular level instead of burning skin off. The Vi Peel Precision enhancer is available for a concentrated blend of ingredients making the peel 25% stronger. This is great for those with stubborn hyper-pigmentation.

Men have the same aging concerns as women-wrinkles, sun damage, sagging skin so why shouldn’t they be able to fix them. Well now that social norms have given the wink and nod for the green light on laser skin resurfacing, fillers and Botox men are stepping our of their man caves and into medical spas. Competition in the job markets also plays a part in the influx as men want to stay looking young and healthy for that career competitive edge.

Botox is a natural and purified protein that temporarily reduces contractions of the facial muscles that cause lines, by blocking nerve transmissions, leaving the skin unwrinkled. This creates a smooth and a more youthful appearance.

Botox Cosmetic is a simple and nonsurgical procedure that is injected into the facial muscles using tiny insulin needles. It is used for forehead lines, crow’s feet around the eyes, frown lines,&brow lift (when one eyebrow is lower than the other).

Contrary to what most people think, Botox does not freeze facial expressions, but it softens them. It only takes about 10 to 15 minutes for the treatment but results take up to 2 weeks to completely set. Side effects are not long-term, with some minor bruising that disappears in a week’s time. Botox Cosmetic should be affordable but don’t go with the “cheapest” as you always want pure Botox from Allergan (look for the hologram on the bottle). You can also take advantage of Allergan’s free point program (Brilliant Distinctions) that will save you $25-$50 each treatment.

Doctors say that men need higher doses than women, probably because they have greater muscle mass. It has also been observed that larger and stronger men need more units per treatment area than small-boned men.

The best part about Botox is that this is equality in a new sense where men are allowed to take care of themselves in the same ways that men have for years. For more information on Botox or other treatments go to www.winterparklaser.com

There are lite, medium and strong chemical peels but to get a deep, professional result you will want to go to a medical spa where under physician supervision the medical/para-medical aestheticians can use stronger chemical peels to go deeper giving you a better result for your money and time. A couple of great strong peels that are now safe for dark skin types include the VI chemical peel and the Melanage Peel.

Is A Chemical Peel For You? Chemical peels effectively improve the feel and appearance of the skin by reducing fine lines and wrinkles caused by sun exposure, aging, and genetics. They can also treat age spots, freckles, mild scarring, and other blemishes, including those caused by certain types of acne. If you are trying to brighten your skin, rid yourself of light wrinkles, or control acne, then the chemical peels could be a great option for you-always check with your medical spa and receive a free consultation. At Winter Park Laser we also include a complimentary Visia Skin Analysis to analyze your pore size, wrinkles, sun damage and texture so that we can suggest the most appropriate treatments for your skin.

Uptown Dallas—
New Year celebrations are upon us. 2012 marks a fresh start, a time for resolutions, and for many…a chance to get that new, more youthful appearance.

“We’re seeing an explosive growth of procedures to make people look more beautiful, and Botox is definitely one of them,” says cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Jeffrey Adelglass, M.D., F.A.C.S.

He’s always ready to make a pretty face more beautiful.

“You can see the hologram on this bottle – this is an original bottle of Botox,” says Dr. Adelglass.

He says a hologram on the bottle is one sure-fire way to know that Botox is the real deal. But Dr. Adelgass does warn consumers to proceed with caution when it comes to getting such treatments.

“There are a lot of importers and people are trying to buy it inexpensively through foreign channels and then use it on their patients,” he explains.

Just this week he received a letter in the mail with different out-of-the-country Botox options that he could potentially buy.
“Well, I think this is illegal,” says Dr. Adelglass.

Illegal or not, he says this is an increasing trend. Which is perhaps why some North Texans say “Botox” is not on their “To Do” list.

“Just because I’ve heard like the horror stories and then they don’t have like their natural expressions,” says Erika Gomez.
Others say they are not opposed to it.

“I would never use it personally, but I don’t fault people for trying to improve their appearance by any means,” says Steven Schwartz.

Dr. Adelglass says if you are looking for that New Year, New You “pick me up”, it’s all about doing your research first.

“And believe it or not, there is an importance to having a doctor [do this procedure] because this is a medical procedure. Botox, Deport – it can only be sold to physicians,” he says.

Dr. Adelglass also suggests using caution when it comes to purchasing cosmetic procedures via discount websites. He says this could be a red flag to potential “Botox Gone Bad” horror stories.

What Is The Purpose Of Laser Hair Removal?

Laser Hair Removal allows people with unwanted hair to have a more permanent solution than painful waxing or tweezing or time consuming shaving. It is also now available for those with lighter hair and not just dark hair as it was five years ago.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Yes. It is completed through the use of a laser that produces a wavelength of light. This wavelength of light used in laser hair removal treatment targets a specific area of tissue, without damaging or affecting any unnecessary surrounding area. The light emitted from the laser works to heat melanin, or dark target matter, that assists in hair growth. Melanin is vital in producing the color in skin and hair development. When laser light affects this area of melanin, it is impossible for the hair to continue to grow. Although this procedure is useful for those who want unwanted hair banished, it works better for patients with dark, coarse hair.

How To Find Someone To Perform Laser Hair Removal

Unfortunately there are some now saturated markets with good and “not so good” locations performing this treatment so you should really do your “home-work”. You should find someone who is licensed, board certified by your state and experienced (at least 5 years in business). Find someone that will give you a free consultation and spends time explaining the process. Read reviews online-this is a great way to get opinions. Find a reasonable price but don’t always go with the cheapest-a lot of times you get what you pay for and you could even get burned so please don’t let money be the only factor in your decision. Lastly, follow your instinct-I always tell clients “go where you feel most comfortable”.

After working around medical spas and laser treatments for 7 years, my favorite treatment is IPL (Intense Pulsed LIght) Photo-facials. You see huge instant results with this 20 minute safe procedure and go straight back to work, wear makeup and have no down-time. This technology has continued to improve and Palomar is the “Mercedes” of IPL laser technology. There are mainly benefits, but of course a few minor risks with this treatment such as swelling, redness, and facial flushing, are minor and usually disappear within a few hours or days of the procedure.

Benefits of IPL™ Photofacial

The benefits of intense pulsed light therapy cover almost the entire spectrum of cosmetic dermatology. When performed by a qualified skin care specialist, IPL™ photofacial treatment can help nearly all aspects of skin aesthetics and structure.

The treatment can help repair small blood vessels that have become visible, or help eradicate sun spots or other pigmentation irregularities.
IPL™ treatment can help combat acne problems such as oil and p. bacterias&can shrink large pores.
IPL™ photofacial therapy is also excellent at treating Rosacea, & any redness in skin.
By treating a slightly deeper layer of the skin, IPL™ photofacials stimulate collagen growth by simulating minor dermal injuries, thereby helping to improve skin texture.
The cost of IPL photofacial therapy is usually minor compared to most lasers and results are seen in as little as 1-5 treatments on average.

Another benefit of IPL™ photorejuvenation procedures is that they allow for additional treatment with facials, or chemical peels that target the outermost layer of skin, the epidermis. Since IPL™ photofacials target deeper layers of the skin, they can be safely performed in conjunction with other, more superficial treatments.
IPL™ Photofacial Risks

There are relatively few long-term risks associated with intense pulsed light treatment. Short-term potential side effects of IPL™ photofacial treatment include very minor swelling, redness, and increased visibility of small capillaries. These symptoms usually begin to disappear within a few hours of treatment.

This treatment is only safe for certain skin types so consult with your skin care professional.

Excessive hair conditions can be classified into 3 broad categories;

Hypertrichosis; this issue impacts both women and men. It is mostly excessive development of body hair in either abnormal or regular patterns. The problem might be hereditary, or might be as a outcome of medication, malnutrition, tumors, hormonal or metabolic difficulties.

Hirsuitism; this difficulty affects girls. It truly is the growth of excessive hair in female but in male pattern. This might contain mustache, beard or development of hair in the decrease abdomen. The problem may be as being a outcome of hormonal imbalance, hereditary, specified medications and even tumors.

Hormonal Imbalances such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.

Laser hair removal offers a great long term solution by removing unwanted hair from the body and undesirable facial hair for women in six treatments on average which occur once every 4-6 weeks for treatments.

Unlike with tweezers, waxing, shaving along with depilatory creams, exactly where a single has to deal with hair return every four to eight days. Laser hair removal offers a reasonably long term hair removal. Like a matter of fact analysis has shown employing laser as proposed by authorities and using it far more regularly might lead to permanent hair removal.

In contrast to with other treatment techniques where irritation could be the order in the day, laser hair removal is the most effective method of treating ingrown hairs. It really is cost-free of irritation in addition to red bumps emanating from ingrown hairs. Always consult with a professional, experienced laser technician (CME) before starting treatments.
