Tighten up Skin Non-Surgically With SkinTyte

Anti-Aging Treatments, Broadband Light Treatment, Cosmetic Procedures / July 7, 2022

There is a safe, non-surgical solution for addressing loose skin on the lower face and neck. SkinTyte by Sciton is the most advanced skin tightening treatment that harnesses the power of broad band light technology. This BBL laser treatment delivers spectacular results and has no downtime, making it a popular request here in our Dallas dermatology office.

How does SkinTyte laser tighten skin?

SkinTyte improves the appearance of mild to moderate skin laxity by gently heating dermal tissue and stimulating collagen production. The device delivers pulses of high-intensity infrared light into the dermis, causing the fibers to contract and tighten. This triggers the body’s innate healing response along with collagen remodeling. As new collagen is formed, the result is improved skin elasticity and firmness along with a more youthful appearance. The system has a built-in cooling mechanism that regulates temperature for a safe and comfortable treatment.

Does SkinTyte work on the face?

Yes, Sciton SkinTyte is used to tighten up sagging skin on the face, particularly the jowls, cheeks, and nasolabial folds. The device can be used on other parts of the body as well, such as the neck, stomach, thighs, and arms.

Is BBL SkinTyte painful?

No, BBL SkinTyte is not painful, and the treatment does not call for a topical anesthetic cream. The majority of patients describe BBL therapy as relaxing. Each pulse of broad band light produces a mild sensation of warmth.

How long is a SkinTyte treatment?

It takes between 30 and 40 minutes to perform a SkinTyte treatment on the face and neck. The length of your procedure will depend on the areas of skin being treated.

When will I see results from SkinTyte?

Results will vary on the settings utilized, but most will see measurable results from their SkinTyte treatment after 8-12 weeks.

What kind of downtime can I expect?

Because the SkinTyte procedure is non-invasive and non-surgical, you can return to your normal daily activities right away. There is no peeling or lengthy recovery period. Mild redness and a sunburn sensation are normal afterward but resolve within a few minutes. Be sure to limit UV exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin following the treatment.

How many sessions of SkinTyte do you need?

This will be determined during a one-on-one consultation with our dermatologists, but the average patient requires a series of 3 to 5 SkinTyte treatments to achieve maximum results. These sessions are usually spaced one month apart.

How long do SkinTyte results last?

A healthy lifestyle and daily sun protection can help maintain and prolong SkinTyte results. Smoother, firmer skin can last for up to two years.

Am I a good candidate for non-surgical skin tightening?

SkinTyte is a revolutionary BBL treatment for people with moderate skin looseness, not extreme laxity. It’s safe for those with darker skin tones and is completely customizable.

Sculptra for Chest Wrinkles

Anti-Aging Treatments, Cosmetic Procedures / April 26, 2022

The neck and chest get just as much sun exposure as our faces but are often forgotten when it comes to basic skincare and UV protection. Over time, a youthful décolletage can take on a crepey appearance, marked with fine lines and creases. Chest wrinkles are even quicker to develop in large-busted women who happen to be side sleepers. However, there is good news for chest rejuvenation that doesn’t involve lasers or invasive procedures.

At Dallas Dermatology Partners, we’ve had tremendous results treating chest wrinkles with a popular dermal filler known as Sculptra. Renowned for its volumizing effects on the face, Sculptra Dallas does more than plump up aged and wrinkled skin. It triggers your body to produce more collagen, which can help prevent new wrinkles and chest lines from developing.

Key benefits of Sculptra chest rejuvenation

Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid, a biodegradable sugar molecule that ignites collagen synthesis. As a result, it provides superior results in rejuvenating mature skin on the face, hands, upper knees, and chest area. It improves the skin’s structural framework to correct age-related volume loss.

Consider some of the main benefits of Sculptra chest rejuvenation offered here at our Dallas office.

Chest wrinkles and lines are visibly smoothed
Restores lost volume and rejuvenates crepey-looking skin
No risk of an allergic reaction
Non-invasive
Long-lasting results
Improved confidence and self-esteem
No downtime afterward
Produces natural results
Continued improvements as new collagen is formed

Sculptra for chest wrinkles: treatment outline

Getting Sculptra for chest wrinkles is no different than other cosmetic injectables. It’s advisable to stop blood-thinning medications, vitamin E, and other natural supplements that can increase bruising risk before the treatment.

The injection sites are identified, the skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied before the filler is administered just beneath the skin. Sculptra injections contain lidocaine, which also helps to numb the area and minimize discomfort.

Aftercare tips

You’ll be able to resume your normal activities after a Sculptra chest wrinkle treatment. However, we ask our patients to avoid sunbathing for a few days afterward and massage the injection sites a few times each day. This helps to ensure that Sculptra is evenly distributed, and lumps do not form.

What results can I expect from Sculptra?

Since it takes time for collagen to thicken up the skin and diminish wrinkles, expect to wait three to six months to see the final results. Your dermatologist may recommend a series of Sculptra injections– spaced several weeks apart– to realize the best outcome. With each passing week, the skin on the décolletage will be smoother and supple.

If you’re interested in long-lasting chest rejuvenation with Sculptra, schedule your Dallas dermatology appointment today. While popular in its own right, Sculptra chest wrinkle treatment goes hand-in-hand with neck rejuvenation. Discuss your options and goals during a one-on-one consultation.

The Best Cosmetic Anti-Aging Treatments to Ask Your Dermatologist About

Anti-Aging Treatments / October 28, 2021

Thanks to significant advances in dermatology and non-invasive techniques, it’s easier than ever to look fresh and rested at virtually any age. If you’re looking for the best anti-aging cosmetic procedures, you’ve come to the right place. At Dallas Dermatology Partners, we offer a number of non-surgical, minimally invasive procedures that entail little if any downtime.

Banish wrinkles, plump up cheeks, and tighten up sagging jowls without the nip and tuck. Here’s a round-up of our top anti-aging procedures that deliver natural yet appreciable results.

Botox Injections

Do permanently etched worry lines and forehead furrows make you look older than your years? Repetitive facial expressions, along with skin laxity and lifestyle factors, create fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, brows, and forehead. Botox is one of the most popular ways to turn back the clock with a few targeted injections. By stopping muscle contractions, this injectable softens wrinkles, and the results can last upwards of 4 months.

Chemical Peels

Looking for instant gratification and soft, dewy skin? Medical grade chemical peels are a safe and excellent way to brighten your complexion, lighten sun spots, and smooth out rough texture. Our dermatologists offer several types of peels– ranging from superficial to medium-strength– that are formulated to address your specific issues. Professional peels restore a more even skin tone as they rejuvenate mature and photo-aged skin.

Fractionated Laser Resurfacing

Laser treatments gently heat the dermis, creating micro-injuries that trigger the collagen remodeling process. The Palomar Icon 1540 is a non-ablative laser resurfacing procedure that fades hyperpigmentation, treats shallow acne scars, and improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Microdermabrasion

Subtle cosmetic treatments like microdermabrasion are an effective way to achieve fresher, more youthful-looking skin. Deep exfoliation with the DiamondGlow™ hydrodermabrasion system is safe for the most sensitive skin. It works wonders on improving the appearance of age spots, enlarged pores, fine lines, blackheads, and acne scarring.

Genius RF Microneedling

Microneedling has been used by dermatologists for years to trigger the body’s self-repair mechanism for firmer, glowing skin. The latest iteration of this non-surgical skin rejuvenator is the Genius RF system that introduces radiofrequency energy. Genius RF microneedling is more effective at stimulating collagen and elastic synthesis for tighter and youthful looking skin. The treatment helps diminish fine lines, acne scars, and textural irregularities. It also enhances the efficacy of anti-aging topical products like retinoids and glycolic acid. Sometimes called “microneedling with a brain,” the Genius device has an intelligent hand piece that monitors energy levels as its passes over the skin. This allows dermatologists to customize the treatment for superior results.

BBL Photofacial

The best candidates for an BBL photofacial are those with light to fair skin, who are less prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This popular anti-aging procedure corrects a variety of skin concerns, from sunspots and enlarged pores to broken capillaries and general blotchiness.

Dermal Fillers

With time, the skin becomes thinner, less elastic, and loses volume, making wrinkles and lines more noticeable. Along with Botox injections, dermal fillers are a non-invasive way to rejuvenate the face and restore youthful contours around the cheeks, chin, and eyes. Depending on the type of fillers used, the results can last anywhere from 6-18 months.

Whether it’s hyperpigmentation, volume loss, or crow’s feet, there’s a treatment for virtually any skin concern– and many can be done during your lunch break. For more information about anti-aging cosmetic procedures, book your Dallas dermatology appointment online, or give us a call.
