Botox Treats More than wrinkles
Botox Treats More Than Wrinkles
Everyone knows about Botox, the wrinkle-reducer that’s injected into the face to retain a youthful look. It turns out that the procedure now has a number of new uses. Botox can also reduce excessive sweating and relax facial muscles.
We’ve all seen models with flawless, porcelain skin. Forgetting that much of this perfection is due to hours of makeup and airbrushing, their skin probably does start out smoother than normal people.
The rest of us, with real-world skin, are left envious.
“I have open pores and very greasy skin around this area, next to the nose,” Botox patient Guadalupe Pensado said.
Those skin problems have bothered Pensado for a long time, but there wasn’t all that much she could do about it.
But now, she’s seeing facial plastic surgeon Dr. Kamran Jafri, who’s developed a new way to use Botox.
“Right along the cheek area here on the right side, we have some moderate pores there, and even as I’m working with the Q-tip I see a fair amount of oil production as well,” Dr. Jafri said.
A close skin exam confirms the problem, and the solution is intra-dermal Botox injections, which are different from the anti-wrinkle variety.
“It doesn’t go below the skin, it doesn’t go in the muscles below it,” Dr. Jafri said. “The injection is only in the skin, to affect the things that we’re seeing on the skin.
Dr. Jafri injects a more dilute Botox solution every quarter inch or so in the problem areas, and the treatment works by doing the same thing that deeper wrinkle injections do, only in the skin.
“Our skin contains these tiny little muscles, and these muscles are what give us goose bumps – they keep our pores open,” Dr. Jafri said. “By weakening those muscles, much like weakening the muscles that cause wrinkles, you actually cause the skin to tighten.
“You decrease oil production, and you help the pores shrink up a little bit,” Jafri said.
The treatment shrinks pores, and patients report reduced oiliness. In some cases, even the discoloration of skin that comes with acne is reduced as well.
Minutes after her treatment, Pensado can see a difference.
“I love it, look at my nose,” she said. “Of course I can tell.”

Women are Tired of Stretchmarks-Now You can Reduce them permanently!
Millions of women have stretchmarks caused by pregnancy, hormonal changes, weight gain, or rapid growth during puberty. However, most women hate these stretchmarks and would love to remove them, as they are embarassing and likely in conspicuous locations such as the breast, stomach, and thighs-not flattering for shorts or a bikini. Now the Lux1540 Fractional laser handpiece is the first fractional laser FDA cleared for treating stretch marks (striae). This can improve the unsightly color and skin texture associated with stretch marks, leaving women with smoother, better looking skin with no downtime! This is a non-ablative laser that can improve stretchmarks within as little as 3 treatments. This is safe for most skin types and for men and women of all ages! To find out if you a good candidate go to your local medical spa like Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center at 1215 W. Fairbanks Ave. Orlando FL 32804.

How to Treat Melasma & Sun Spots
Sun damage, and melasma (mask of pregnancy) can be corected by Intense Pulsed Light Photo-Facial treatments. They even out blotchiness and give the skin a smoother tone and texture. Collagen production is stimulated and blood vessels may be eliminated. The Palomar IPL corrects all types of pigmentation caused by age, sun and hormones. The treatment only takes 15-20 minutes on average. Directly after the treatment, the pigmented areas may be darker for only a few days and then fall off.
