What can injectables and volumizers do for me?
Cosmetic injectables are a non-invasive way to freshen up your look and age gracefully without surgery. SSM Health offers a variety of injectables and fillers, all of which can be customized to fit your specific needs.
- BOTOX® & Other Neuromodulators - can be used to treat frown lines (also known as "the elevens"), crow's feet, forehead wrinkles, and in some cases in the underarm to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
- Fillers - can be used to treat nasolabial folds (also know as "parenthesis"), marionette lines, cheeks, lips, and in some cases the top of the hands.
Can spider veins be treated with an injectable?
Sclerotherapy is an effective treatment for spider veins. During sclerotherapy, a chemical irritant is injected into the veins with a small needle. This causes inflammation which closes the spider vein. The veins will slowly disappear over the following weeks. Several treatments may be necessary for best results. Please talk to your provider to see if sclerotherapy is the best treatment for you.
How can laser and energy treatments help my skin?
Laser/energy therapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses light energy and/or various laser wavelengths to repair and regenerate damaged skin. The goal of these therapies is to help the skin appear younger and healthier. From low-downtime light therapy treatments to ablative laser resurfacing, these treatments help reduce a wide range of skin concerns and damage such as uneven tone and pigmentation, redness and rosacea, fine lines and wrinkles, acne and acne scarring, and more.
Traditional hair removal techniques, including waxing, shaving, plucking, and depilatory creams, are time consuming and temporary. Laser hair removal offers a permanent alternative. During laser hair removal, a beam of light passes through the skin to the hair follicle where it is transformed into heat, causing selective destruction of the pigmented hair follicle, while leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. Because the target of this laser is pigment, the laser energy may need to be adjusted for darker skin types to avoid skin dyspigmentation. Permanent hair removal is typically achieved in 6-10 treatments, as it is only effective when hair is actively in its growth phase. Patient discomfort during removal is usually minimal and transient. Post treatment, patients may experience slight redness to the area, which typically fades between 30 minutes to a few hours.
Through a combination of many factors including aging, sun exposure, pollution, smoking, medication, inflammation from acne, and illness, skin loses elasticity and collagen over time resulting in wrinkled, sagging, dull skin. Laser resurfacing is accomplished through precise ablation of thousands of microscopic zones in the skin, while leaving several surrounding “islands” of healthy tissue, which aid in healing. Collagen production is therefore accelerated, resulting in skin tightening, diminished appearance of acne scars and wrinkles, and improvement in the skin’s overall texture and tone. Patient comfort during the procedure is improved through the use of prescription medication, as well as topical numbing creams. Downtime can range from three to seven days, depending on the type of laser used, and consists of red, peeling skin. Avid sun protection and gentle skin care are of the utmost importance while skin is healing. The results are impressive and long-lasting, especially if the patient continuously engages in an appropriate skin care regimen and a healthy lifestyle.
PDL is an effective procedure to treat cherry angiomas, broken capillaries, port wine stains, and other vascular anomalies. The main target of a pulsed dye laser is the hemoglobin within the blood vessels. Selective heating of these blood vessels under the skin causes immediate vessel wall damage followed by gradual vessel reabsorption. Laser treatments times are brief and are performed in the office with minimal discomfort. The treatment site may bruise, which resolves in about 7 days, and can be covered by makeup. Gentle skin care and avid sun protection post procedure is strongly recommended.
Medical lasers can selectively destroy tattoo pigment, breaking the ink particles into smaller fragments. The pigment fragments are then removed from the skin by scavenging white blood cells, called tissue macrophages. Tattoo fading occurs gradually after each laser treatment, and typically requires 8-10 sessions. The success of tattoo removal is dependent upon many factors, namely the size, color, type of ink used, and age of the tattoo. Patient discomfort can be lessened through the use of topical numbing cream if desired. Localized redness and swelling can be expected with treatment, but resolves in 24 hours.
