Combating the natural aging process and the elements that contributes to speeding up the signs of aging has been a long sought after remedy. Anti-aging products can be found lining store shelves, promising to reverse the effects of aging and spas and cosmetic surgery centers have been offering a wide range of treatments and procedures. The laser collagen procedure utilizes the laser’s ability to penetrate through the skin’s outer layer to stimulate new collagen growth.

The eye area is one of the first to show signs of aging with fine lines, skin laxity, and under eye bags starting as early as the late 20s and early 30s. Non-surgical or minimally invasive rejuvenation options have become especially popular among both men and women who are either nervous about undergoing surgery, want to avoid scars and prolonged downtime, or who have such early changes that more invasive procedures would be inappropriate.

Tiny lines around the eye area are typically due to chronic movement such as squinting and loss of collagen and elasticity from excess sun exposure. The best treatment for dynamic (movement related) wrinkles is injections which relax the orbicularis muscle around the eye.

Botox and Dysport are both great options which last approximately 4 months. Treatments can prevent the development of future wrinkles over time by decreasing overall movement. Patients can have the procedure done over their lunch hour and return to work immediately. Read the rest of this entry »

And there’s rarely a true need for a surgical face lift! We have amazing new technologies that help us achieve remarkable results without the excessive trauma of surgery. These solutions are effective, minimally invasive and affordable. Our three laser modalities (Nd YAG, the Erbium and Lipotherm) can be used for 90% of all popular and highly effective procedures to turn back the clock and make anybody look younger for months if not years.

The non ablative 1064nm YAG laser is used to painlessly remove hair, sunspots, age spots, Rosacea, pigmented lesions, spider veins, treat active acne, and to rejuvenate, plump up and tighten the skin around the eyes, face and neck – all with little or no down time. Using this laser every 4 weeks for 3 to 4 sessions will yield outstanding results.

The Erbium laser is used for laser peels of variable depths. The laser resurfacing removes the aged and abused superficial layers of the skin while stimulating growth of new, younger and healthier skin. The smooth new skin is free of lesions, scars and wrinkles.

The two laser can be used together to provide a Bi-Modal Facial Restoration. The combination of these lasers stimulates epidermal tone and texture while improving collagen remodeling. The new skin is free of all those conditions that age the skin such as sun and age spots, wrinkles and acne scars. The treatment is simple, safe and efficacious.

The Lipotherm laser is used to model the chin, neck, jowls and cheeks by melting the excess fat and tightening the skin in the lower and mid face.

Facial wrinkles appear because as we age we lose our subcutaneous fat which in turn causes marionette lines, pronounced nasolabial folds, smoker’s lines and wrinkles around the eyes. These wrinkles can be eliminated by using injectable dermal fillers such as Radiesse, Restylane, Evolence or your own fat – the best natural filler. These fillers last from 6 months (for Restylane), 18 months (for Radiesse) and the fat transfer can last a year or longer. The beauty of fat transfer is that it is your own, natural, readily available, cheaper and limitless.

These procedures will help your body rejuvenate and repair itself and they are available at Rinnova Med-Surgical and Laser Institute.
