How to Say Good Bye to Crow's Feet

The skin around the eyes tends to wrinkle first because it is thinner than the rest of the skin on the face by 30%. It also wrinkles more easily because of sun damage, squinting & dehydration. So it is no surprise that "crows feet" or wrinkles around the eye is a common concern & complaint among women and men around the world and in our Orlando medical Spa-Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center. Fortunately there are several ways to say good bye to crow's feet for good. The first important step is a hydrating eye cream-preferably one that is medical grade as it will actually penetrate to the dermis. We like Skinmedica TNS Eye Repair-human Growth factors and peptides work in synergy to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A great eye cream will keep the area hydrated and help with the fine lines. One of the most instantly gratifying ways to treat crow's feet is with Botox Cosmetic. This is especially good if you squint a lot or have had a lot of sun damage. Botox Cosmetic relaxes the wrinkles around the eyes allowing the wrinkles to cease and prevents the wrinkles from getting worst as the muscles can't be made stronger. If one is looking for a more permanent solution-Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing will completely resurface the area & minimize the wrinkles. We prefer combo ablative laser resurfacing. Fractional ablative wrinkle treatment uses beams of laser light that penetrates skin to just the right depth and with just the right level of heat to evoke a dramatic healing response that promotes collagen production, diminishing the appearance of fine lines around the eyes http://www.winterparklaser.com/services/fractional-laser-resurfacing/.

Top 3 Cosmetic Treatments for Men

Over the past decade the cosmetic treatments requested & performed on men have increased by 56% as women are no longer the only ones reaping the benefits of non-invasive cosmetic procedures. At our Orlando medical spa-Winter Park Laser, we have seen an increase of at least 20% each year for the past few years. While, men are partaking in all cosmetic & plastic surgery ventures, there are 3 that we see the most often & which have increased by the highest percents in the past few years and they include the following. #1 Brotox: Botox for men has increased by 10% every year in the fast couple of years. This is only natural seeing as how Botox Cosmetic is the #1 cosmetic treatment in the world, so it seems fitting that men only partake in it's glorious benefits as well. Botox Cosmetic is popular because it works. Men tend to have very deep "11's" which are the deep creases in between the eyebrows (the glabellar). Botox can help men in corporate America look younger & stay competitive which is why many CEO's are taking to it. #2 Laser Hair Removal: Many men suffer from painful ingrown hairs in the beard, neck, or bikini area. Laser hair removal can resolve embarrassing red bumps caused by ingrown hairs. The laser destroy hair follicles and thin out the hair ridding the area of ingrown hairs permanently in at little as 2-4 treatments. #3 "Liquid Face-lifts" with dermal fillers: Dermal fillers can help men look younger within 20 minutes with no downtime that would show they have had anything done. Dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Radiesse and Belotero Balance replace volume lost by aging especially in the mid-face/cheek area. By replacing the volume the jowles are lifted and the man looks instantly younger with results lasting around 1 year.

How to Get a "Face-Lift" Result without Surgery

I operate a Medical Spa so obviously I get clients coming to me all the time with a desire to have a "face-lift" result without surgery. Fortunately, there are options to get this result with laser treatments & injectables. Ultimately, the desire is to have tighter skin, less wrinkles, a smoother textures, and less sagging skin & jowles. Here are the best non-surgical treatments to get a "facelift result" without surgery. The best way to get an actual "lifting effect" if you are bothered by sagging jowles is a "liquid face-lift" using dermal fillers such as juvederm, radiesse, and Belotero. A “liquid face-lift” using cosmetic dermal fillers such as Juvederm (a hyaluronic acid product) can be performed on several areas of the face or focus on “trouble spots” such as the deep naso-labial folds (laugh lines) around the nose and mouth. This treatment replaces volume lost giving one high cheeks again, improving the hollowness under eyes, lifting brows, lifting jowls and plumping lips, giving back the youthful look of full cheeks, lips, and less wrinkles. Once corrected this procedure can make women and men look 10-15 years younger instantly in 20-45 minutes. The next way to get a "non-surgical face-lift" effect is with Combo ablative fractional laser skin resurfacing. This treatment is perfect for those with fine lines, wrinkles, large pores or skin that is in need more tightening but don’t want the downtime of surgery or older CO2 and dot lasers that took 2-5 weeks of downtime. The Palomar fractional laser resurfacing only requires 4-7 days of healing and the holes close in 6 hours (on most lasers the holes close in 96 hours) which offers less risk of infection. Fractional ablative wrinkle treatment from Palomar uses beams of laser light that penetrates skin to just the right depth and with just the right level of heat to evoke a dramatic healing response that promotes collagen production, diminishing the appearance of fine lines around the face, especially the eyes and mouth which are most prevalent in clients without the discomfort compared to full surface CO2 resurfacing treatments. It’s a great alternative to a face-lift giving you tightening & texture improvement without surgery. For more information on non-surgical facelift results go to www.winterparklaser.com
