Reason One:
Reason One:Certain skincare items are formulated to prevent and reverse photodamage and skin aging. These products may contain Retinol that promotes a higher cell turnover, contain SPF ingredients, and use antioxidants to control free radical damage to the skin. While skincare can also effectively combat existing damage, doctors and skincare experts alike suggest a proactive approach to maintaining the health and beauty of the largest organ of the human body – the skin.
Suggested In-Office Procedure:
Deep Pore Cleansing Facial, to remove dead skin cells and extract any pore-clogging residue.
Reason Two:
Acne, in part, is caused by individual infections in oil glands of the face. Breakouts can be the source of low self-esteem in adolescence, which may carry into the adult years if the blemishes remain present or resurface and can cause scarring. There are a number of topical treatments that can treat existing breakouts, and inhibit their future occurrence. Facial plastic surgeon Dr. Hamilton works alongside other medical professionals to deliver multifaceted treatment plans focused on prevention and treatment, as well as corrective measures for patients with skin affected by acne.
Suggested In-Office Procedures:
Diamond-Tome Microdermabrasion, which resurfaces the skin, clearing the pores of blackheads.
Dermaplane,scrapes away the top layers of skin, promoting skin health through faster cell turnover.
Limelight Facial, a laser treatment that targets discoloration left behind by acne scars
Dermapen, to treat acne scarring.
Reason Three:
Anti-aging efforts often involve surgical intervention, but youthfulness can also be restored with the appropriate at-home skincare regimen. Dr. Hamilton and his staff may recommend a prescription-strength exfoliator, a very hydrating moisturizer, and other products to fight lines and wrinkles. Anti-aging skincare is aimed at correcting existing issues, and preventing future damage from occurring.
Suggested In-Office Procedures:
Chemical Peel, a procedure can be customized depending on each patient’s needs. This type of treatment is performed to exfoliate away imperfections of the skin with lasting benefits
Injectable fillers, which can plump depressions in the skin that cause lines and wrinkles, or add volume to areas where natural fullness has decreased
Laser and Light Treatments, performed in sessions to treat the skin’s needs from the inside out
Reason Four:
Men often neglect to care for their skin in the same way women do, due to beauty standards and ideals imposed differently upon the genders. While womenare encouraged to maintain vitality into their late years in life, men receive the message that they appear more refined and distinguished as the years go by. In addition, the majority of men shave their faces frequently, which grants them extra exfoliation benefits; however, Men are at risks of sun damage, signs of aging, and other skin health issues women face. It is doctor-recommended that they invest in a skincare regimen to maintain looks they will enjoy throughout life.
Suggested In-Office Procedure:
Deep Pore Cleansing Facial, to treat men’s naturally thicker, oilier skin.
Reason Five:
Those with sun damaged skin may feel that the effects of the sun’s harmful rays is irreparable, when in fact, these skin issues are correctable. Depending on the severity of the injuries to the skin’s underlying structures, cosmetic surgery procedures may be necessary, or appropriate skin treatments may suffice. Either way, it is recommended that care for one’s skin include prescription-strengthcosmeceuticals and a doctor-guided system that ensures patients’ skin looks great and remains healthy following repeated sun exposure.
Suggested In-Office Procedures:
Limelight Facial, to treat brown spots and diffuse redness.
Chemical Peel, for full facial skin restoration.
Active FX Fractional CO2 Laser, to tighten the skin and erase fine lines and wrinkles, and lessen the appearance of deeper creases of the faces.
Reason Six:
Skin health is commonly linked to beautification of the face, but the two exist as very important singular concepts that sometimes become intertwined. Sought after attractiveness often seems to trump the notion that the skin should remain healthy throughout a person’s life, but patients should realize that an intact epidermis promotes full body safety. The skin can block off infection, promote healthy circulation, and protect important structures of the body.
Suggested In-Office Procedures:
Specialty Services, including Oncology Aesthetics.
Medical-grade Skincare (cosmeceuticals) consultation.
Reason Seven:
Creating a more even skin tone is possible through minimally or non-invasive facial cosmetic procedures. Acne scars, sun damage, and hormonal changes (such as those that occur during pregnancy) call all lead to permanent dark spots or hyperpigmentation of areas of the face. The imbalance in color can detract from a person’s natural attractiveness, requiring permanent correction. Certain medical-grade skincare lines offer products with skin-bleaching abilities, though exfoliation techniques can also treat skin color irregularities.
Suggested In-Office Procedures:
Chemical Peel, which can chemically slough off the layers of the epidermis that are discolored, revealing fresh, normally pigmented skin below.
Laser and Light Treatments, which exfoliate the upper layers of skin and restructure the collagen and elastin below.
Limelight Facial, anIPL laser treatment utilized to treat skin tone issues.
