<h1>Wrinkle Reduction</h1>		
			<h2>Wrinkle Reduction  </h2>		
		<p>Wrinkle reduction is achieved using a number of modalities including chemical peels, fractional superficial lasers, fractional deeper lasers, radiofrequency devices, picosecond Nd:YAG lasers, Long-pulse (300 msec and 600 msec) Nd:YAG lasers and others. It is important for the surgeon to know the difference between static and dynamic wrinkles and wrinkles related to gravity vs underlying muscle movements. Furthermore, if the surgeon is familia with the cross-sectional anatomy of the face (and other parts of the body where wrinkles occur), then he/she can choose the best combinations of treatments to give you superb results.</p>		
			<h2>What kind of fractional lasers are there?</h2>		
		<p>There are two types of fractional lasers:</p><ul><li>The more gentle and more superficial erbium fractional lasers</li><li>The more aggressive fractionated CO2 lasers</li></ul><p>In general, the erbium lasers treat more superficial changes and are better for younger patients (under 50), mild to moderate acne scarring, and fine wrinkles.  The CO2 systems are better for older patients, deeper wrinkles, some skin tightening, deeper acne scarring, and other scars. The fractional CO2 lasers can treat more deeply, but they also can require more downtime than the erbium lasers.</p>

			<h2>What are fractional erbium lasers best for?</h2>		
		<p>These erbium glass fractional lasers treat the following:</p><ul><li>Sun damage, fine wrinkles, and aging on the face, neck, chest and hands but also on the arms, legs, and back;</li><li>Certain cases of melasma;</li><li>Certain kinds of acne scarring and surgical scars;</li><li>To improve the crepiness and fine lines around the eye and on the eyelids.</li><li>To improve skin texture and tone.</li><li>To reduce precancerous lesions by replacing sun damaged skin with new skin.</li></ul><p>These fractional lasers are generally NOT good for redness, but work somewhat on brown pigment and the above issues.  A series of treatments (generally 3-5) are performed, usually one every 3-8 weeks. The benefits of fractional laser treatments are achieved with little discomfort and minimal risk.</p>

			<h2>How does fractional Erbium resurfacing work?</h2>		
		<p>The erbium laser creates tiny “microthermal” zones (think pixels) deep into the skin which the skin repairs by pushing out the old sun damaged skin (the tiny pixels) and replacing it with new skin. Each treatment replaces about 15-20% of the sun damaged, scarred or wrinkled skin. It triggers the body’s natural healing process accelerating the production of collagen and new, healthy skin cells. 1,000-2,000 microthermal zones per are created each centimeter squared. The depth of penetration of the erbium lasers is less than that of the CO2 lasers.</p>		
			<h2>
Can I do the Erbium treatment with other cosmetic treatments?
</h2>		
		<p>We often perform erbium laser treatments in combination with botox and fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse, etc).  </p>

			<h2>Covering Your Leg Veins in Summer</h2>		
		<p>I mentioned the Lorac product to cover leg veins. What is it? It’s a body makeup. Yuk you say! Doesn’t it wear off on clothes and everything?</p><p>It absolutely does NOT! The first time I used it, I was so sure it would rub off that I put sweats on to test it. After 2-5 minutes, it doesn’t budge. I’ve even gone swimming with it on, and it wears off gradually and evenly. I’ve lotioned my legs and then put it on, and it still stays put. Covers leg veins and bruises pretty well.</p><p>If you have a bit of tan or color already, it gives you a perfect little glow/shimmer. And, if you don’t have any color, it gives you color, a little shimmer and looks natural! The Lorac is about $30.00 online.</p><p>How to Apply? Just take a small glob, and rub it all over your legs (either dry or over lotion), smooth it for about 30-60 seconds well especially around the ankles and the knees and you’re done. Set 2-5 minutes before clothes. It lasts until you wash it off with cleanser. Great with a little on the shoulders or the chest too.</p>

			<h2>Options for Leg Vein and Spider Vein </h2>		
		<p>Sclerotherapy is injections of a gentle solution using an acupuncture-sized needle into the blood vessels. This irritates the inside of the vessel and causes them to shrink and slowly disappear. A number of different solutions are used for sclerotherapy including a concentrated sugar solution (glycerin), a very dilute, mild detergent solution, sodium tetradacyl, polidochonol and hypertonic saline. An experienced surgeon will use one or more of these to give you the best results. </p>

			<h2>What is laser therapy for leg veins?</h2>		
		<p>On the face, veins will respond to a number of different lasers and laser wavelengths. However, with leg veins, the treatment has to be much more nuanced. The aim is to heat the inside of the vessels without damaging the surrounding skin, so that the vessel collapses and scars shut.  The best laser for leg veins is an 1064 nm NdYag laser with a properly chosen duration and power. Small to medium veins respond the best to lasers. However, the results of sclerotherapy overall are better than those of externally applied laser beams.</p>

		<p><strong>Are these treatments safe?</strong> Neither one works for everyone, but they are both time-tested and safe when done by a skilled and experienced provider. Your provider can advise you on which spider vein treatment would be best for you.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>

			<h2>Which spider vein treatment is right for me? </h2>		
		<p>In my opinion, sclerotherapy works better for more people than laser leg vein treatments, so I often end up recommending sclerotherapy over laser leg vein treatments. But this depends of course on the person and their veins. You should not have sclerotherapy if you are pregnant or diabetic.</p>

			<h2>How will my legs look after a spider vein treatment? </h2>		
		<p>They will look worse for a week or two. The veins will be redder and bruised. After approximately one month, your legs will generally look like they have not improved. This is normal. It often takes a full 90 days to see the effects of a treatment. Especially over large veins, you may have some brown staining for up to 3-12 months. The brown color is iron pigment (hemosiderin) that is left over from the red blood cells decomposing and being carried away by your own immune system.</p>

			<h2>How long should I wait between treatments? </h2>		
		<p>Since your legs will look worse for approximately one month, and improvement occurs over 2 or so months, you should wait 6 to 8 weeks between appointments. However, this varies from patient to patient and we will guide you.</p>		
			<h2>How do I look after my legs after treatment?</h2>		
		<p>You should wear compression hose or bandages over the treated areas as much as you can during the waking hours for a week. With the modern methods of injections, we let patients resume normal activities almost immediately.</p>
