Aging Lines & Wrinkles Downtown LA Los Angeles, CA: Los Angeles Center for Cosmetic Surgery

Botox

Wrinkles are caused by muscle contractions under the skin when we smile, laugh or frown.

By paralyzing certain muscles under the skin, Botox prevents the contractions and allows the skin to remain smooth. Tiny needles are used to inject the medication under the skin and into the muscle or nerve. The results can last from three to twelve months.

Dysport

Like Botox, Dysport is a cosmetic treatment that uses neurotoxins to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on a face.

Dysport blocks nerve signals and muscle contractions that cause dynamic wrinkles. The proteins used in Dysport are smaller than the ones in Botox for a more subtle result. It helps patients with very fine lines to achieve a more natural appearance. The results are noticeable within days and can be maintained with follow-up treatments every two to four months.

Juvederm

Juvederm is dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid, a natural sugar that is present in the human body.

Over time, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the body decreases resulting in loss of volume and changes to your face. Juvederm replaces the lost volume and gives your face a more youthful appearance. These injections are most effective in the creases that develop around your nose and mouth but can also be used in the cheeks, lips and around the eyes.

Restylane

Restylane is one of the first hyaluronic acid-based fillers mass marketed for cosmetic purposes.

Like collagen, it is a substance naturally found in the skin which decreases in natural production as we age. Restylane is an injection into the nasolabial folds (the area between the upper lip and cheeks) that results in a more natural-looking and youthful appearance. It can also plump up fine vertical lines around your mouth and fill out scars such as pockmarks from acne. Restylane is frequently used to enhance lip volume. It lasts between three to six months.

Radiesse

Radiesse is filler that provides an immediate correction of wrinkles and folds on the face and stimulates the production of new collagen.

Results can last up to a year before touch-up treatments are needed. Radiesse is the first injectable treatment approved by the FDA to add volume to the back of the hands, which often gives away a person’s age. When injected under the skin, Radiesse adds fullness and masks protruding veins and tendons providing a more smooth and youthful appearance.

Microneedling

Imagine using your skin's natural healing ability to fight lines, reduce acne scarring and improve texture! Micro needling is a non-invasive practice that can benefit all skin types.

The treatment inflicts invisible, vertical micro-injuries to the top layer of skin to stimulate your skin’s repair process and increase the production of collagen. The result is younger looking skin with more firmness and elasticity. There is no downtime. This treatment is effective in treating a wide range of concerns: a loss in volume, acne, fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone making it beneficial for patients of all ages.

Pearl Fractional Laser

Developed as the most effective laser treatment to combat multiple signs of aging, the Pearl fractional laser treatment delivers surgical level results without having to go under the knife.

Pearl Fractional Laser is ideal for the treatment of common skin conditions such as sun damage and acne scars, symptoms of aging like lines and wrinkles, dark spots and uneven texture. You can see dramatic results in just one treatment thanks to the laser’s unique fractional therapy and simultaneous treatment of the dermis and epidermis.

The Pearl fractional laser works through the use of controlled ablation meaning selective sections of the skin are targeted by the laser pulses to thermally damage columns of tissue while the remainder of the skin remains untreated. This allows for faster recovery time and the stimulation of new collagen and healthy cells. You can start to see results a week after treatment and notice optimum results in one to three months.

The laser supports your skin's natural rejuvenation ability by heating the dermis with targeted light particles that stimulates new collagen production. This results in a more even complexion and a younger and fresher appearance. It can take up to a month to see optimum results as new cells reach the skin's surface and collagen growth continues.

Results are similar to a fractional laser without the associated pain or downtime. Secret RF is ideal for the treatment of lines and wrinkles, collagen loss, skin laxity, acne scars, and large pores.

Titan

Titan Laser is designed to address skin laxity and redundancy through the use of infrared energy.

The procedure is perfect for areas that show the effects of gravity such as the jowls, temples, neck or chin. Titan is a painless laser that rebuilds your body’s collagen to help tighten certain areas and reduce signs of aging. The treatment delivers infrared heat to the dermis causing a constriction of collagen for an immediate tightening and stimulates heightened collagen production for long-lasting results.
