Ultherapy is an ultrasound guided treatment that is used to treat mild to moderate skin laxity and wrinkles around the jowls, under the chin, around the eyes, crow’s feet and above the forehead for a brow lift. Ultherapy works by administering ultrasound energy to specific depths of skin with precise ultrasound guidance, which causes tissue tightening and collagen production. Unlike Lasers, non-surgical Ultherapy can bypass the superficial skin to deliver ultrasound energy at the right depths at the right temperature so it is safe to have during the summer when sun exposure is difficult to avoid. There is no downtime […]

Various injections can do things like ease lines in the forehead, plump a wrinkled upper lip, or fill out a sunken cheek.

Smoking and Secondhand Smoke
Any exposure to smoke, either directly or indirectly, can result in poor wound healing, delayed wound healing, skin loss requiring skin grafting, and increased risk of infection. The diminished blood flow to the skin wound from smoking and secondhand smoke can cause the breakdown of skin and scabbing.
