Ozempic Face: What to do to improve appearance

Sculptra, fillers, and botox are the top treatment options for “Ozempic face.” These help to return volume to the skin and tighten the areas where sagging may occur. Sculptra also boosts collagen and addresses sagging across the entire face instead of just a targeted area. Fillers provide a more targeted approach to filling areas with high volume loss. Botox or Dysport can also address wrinkles or fine lines that tend to appear with high volume loss.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the options available. Our team at Dallas Dermatology Partners can help you find the most effective injectables in Dallas for your specific needs.

What is Ozempic Face?

“Ozempic face” can happen with rapid weight loss. It can leave the face skin appearing hollowed, saggy, and aged. This is because of a loss in subcutaneous fat cells that was previously giving the face its shape. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce or even erase the appearance of Ozempic face.

How Sculptra Injections Help

Sculptra is a collagen-boosting injectable that can help rejuvenate your entire face. It stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, gradually restoring volume and helping you achieve long-lasting results. Sculptra in Dallas is an ideal solution for people with thinning or generally sagging skin due to weight loss.

When to Consider Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a great option for someone looking to address some trickier areas of the face that can’t be addressed with treatments like botox. This can include under-eye bags, sunken cheeks, and hollow temples. Dermal fillers also provide nearly instant results for those looking for an immediate solution.

Why You Need a Customized Treatment Plan

No two cases are exactly alike, so it’s important that you get a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. We also consider your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to increase your chances of getting the results you seek.

Here are some benefits of a customized plan for facial fillers in Dallas:

  • Improved results: Customized treatments consider everything from underlying skin conditions to natural fat deposits in the skin to ensure you get results.
  • Long-lasting effects: We take a personalized approach to ensure you receive the optimal treatment for long-term improvement.
  • Natural-looking results: A customized treatment plan ensures your appearance remains natural and balanced.

Best Treatments for Sun Damaged Skin

Every time you go outside without a full-spectrum sunscreen, the skin is bombarded by UV rays. They alter DNA and gradually break down collagen and elastin. Over time, this solar radiation causes serious damage to the epidermis while depleting essential fatty acids.

While many think of bronzed skin as a sign of vitality and good health, it’s a form of mild sun damage. Cumulative exposure to UV rays causes premature aging of the skin– resulting in dark spots, spider veins, fine lines, a ruddy complexion, sagging skin, and hyperpigmentation.

At Dallas Dermatology Partners, we offer a variety of non-invasive procedures to repair and rejuvenate photo-aged skin with minimal downtime. If you’re 25 or 55, it’s never too late to improve the health and radiance of your skin. Correct irregular pigmentation, rough texture, wrinkles, and other concerns with these non-invasive treatments for sun-damaged skin.

 

BBL Photo Facial for Sun Damaged Skin

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. An BBL photofacial is ideal for patients who want measurable results without a lot of downtime. This treatment uses multiple wavelengths of light to treat hyperpigmentation, broken blood vessels, large pores, and uneven skin tone. Temporary redness is the only side effect of this skin rejuvenation procedure that produces a more radiant, even-toned complexion.

 

Lasers

Our highly skilled dermatologists often recommend a laser resurfacing treatment for sun damage, whether on the face, neck, chest, or hands. Laser skin resurfacing can eliminate or improve the appearance of sunspots, melasma, fine lines, redness, and dull texture without a lengthy recovery. The Halo Laser  is more comfortable that traditional fractional lasers and can deliver impressive results in just one treatment.

Microneedling

Microneedling is one of the best treatments for sun-damaged skin and a terrific option for patients new to cosmetic dermatology. This 30-minute procedure utilizes a pen-like tool to make tiny pricks in the skin. In the coming days and weeks, collagen synthesis increases as the skin repairs itself and gradually becomes smoother and firmer. Microneedling is a cost-effective way to improve the appearance of wrinkles and sunspots.

Chemical Peel for Sun Damage

Chemical peels effectively correct irregular pigmentation, fine lines, and textural problems resulting from years of extended sun exposure. Typically, most patients will benefit from a series of 2-3 peels formulated with different acids to address specific complexion concerns. In addition, a chemical peel remedies summer skin damage by removing the outer layer of old skin cells.

Microdermabrasion

If bumpy, rough texture is your chief complaint, microdermabrasion promises dramatic results with virtually zero downtime. Unlike traditional microdermabrasion procedures that simply exfoliated, our practice features the DiamondGlow™ system that uses water to push potent actives and serums as it buffs away dull skin cells.

 

Genius RF Microneedling

RF microneedling is a more advanced version of microneedling that utilizes radiofrequency energy to address a number of concerns caused by UV exposure. Safe for patients with fair to dark skin tones, RF microneedling can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, chest, and other parts of the body to improve skin tone and minimize the appearance of scars, wrinkles and fine lines. The Genius microneedling radio frequency treatment tones and tightens photo-aged skin by boosting collagen and elastin production. While many patients see measurable improvements after the first session, most will benefit from a series of three treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

The Right Treatment for Your Skin Type

A board-certified dermatologist can improve the health of your skin and develop a treatment plan to help address age spots, wrinkling, laxity, actinic keratoses, and other signs of cumulative sun damage. Call today to book your Dallas dermatology appointment.

Can EmSculpt Neo Make Your Waist Smaller?

EmSculpt Neo is highly effective at inducing fat loss and stimulating muscle development around the waist. Although individual results vary, some may lose an inch or more from around their waist. EmSculpt Neo is a new and exciting FDA-approved treatment. It may be ideal if you’re interested in non-invasive body contouring at Dallas Dermatology Partners without significant downtime.

What is EmSculpt Neo and how does it work?

If you have areas of stubborn fat around your hips and stomach, you might have considered liposuction. It is highly effective at removing fat in targeted areas; however, it is a surgical procedure that requires major downtime. In contrast, EmSculpt Neo is a nonsurgical lipolysis procedure that produces enviable body contouring results.

emsculpt neo benefits

It directs high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy at the treatment areas. While many body contouring treatments remove fat cells, HIFEM energy works by triggering rapid contractions of the muscles in the targeted areas. At the same time, EmSculpt Neo delivers targeted radiofrequency (RF) energy, which gently heats the area to induce fat cell death. Note that the original form of the technology, EmSculpt, used only electromagnetic energy. The newer incarnation, EmSculpt Neo, uses both EM and RF energy.

What is possible with this body contouring treatment?

EmSculpt Neo offers incredible results. This body contouring treatment provides the following benefits:

  • Core Strengthening – Want toned abs without having to do crunches? EmSculpt Neo could be right for you. You’ll enjoy more toned, stronger muscles. In addition, a stronger core provides better support to the back, which is important for individuals with back pain.
  • Fat Reduction – Once the fat cells die off and are naturally eliminated by the body, they’re gone for good. Your body cannot grow more fat cells. However, existing fat cells do have the potential to grow larger, so you’ll need to maintain your results with a healthy lifestyle.
  • Inch Loss – Along with melting fat in the targeted areas, you’ll love that the treated areas become noticeably slimmer. Patients may lose an inch or more, although individual results will vary.

Who is a good candidate for EmSculpt Neo?

EmSculpt Neo is effective at helping individuals lose fat and inches from their waist, stomach, and love handles. However, like liposuction, it’s not intended to be a primary weight loss method. Instead, its purpose is to shrink, tighten, and tone the problem areas that do not respond well to a healthy lifestyle. Talk to a dermatologist to find out if you could be a good candidate for EmSculpt Neo.

At Dallas Dermatology Partners, our skilled clinicians use innovative, cutting-edge treatments like EmSculpt Neo to help our patients achieve remarkable results and boost self-confidence. Contact us today to request your appointment and find out if EmSculpt Neo could be right for you.

What Is Non-Surgical Lipolysis and How Does It Work?

Lipolysis has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures over the past few years—and for good reason. As a safe, effective, and non-invasive option, non-surgical lipolysis utilizes radiofrequency heating to permanently remove fat and tighten skin with minimal downtime.

From diet- and exercise-resistant fat to pregnancy “pooches,” localized fat can feel impossible to get rid of. At Dallas Dermatology Partners, it’s our goal to provide exceptional care for all of our patients through personalized cosmetic treatments.

Here’s everything you need to know to decide if non-surgical lipolysis is right for you.

 

emsculpt neo benefits

What Is Non-surgical Lipolysis?

Non-surgical lipolysis, also known as non-surgical fat reduction treatment, is a type of cosmetic procedure. It uses radiofrequency energy to transform the shape and appearance of your body by targeting smaller fat deposits. Because it’s a non-surgical treatment, lipolysis can be performed by EmSculpt NEO in your doctor’s office and comes with minimal downtime.

Overall, lipolysis is a safe, non-invasive treatment that removes 30% of fat and builds 25% of muscle. In most cases, it takes between four and six treatments to achieve the full results, and maintenance treatments are needed.

Before – EmSculpt NEO on stomach

After – EmSculpt NEO on stomach

How Does EmSculpt NEO Work?

While other kinds of fat reduction treatments involve invasive surgery, EmSculpt NEO uses HF and HIFEM+ energies to break fat cells apart, which reduces the volume of fatty tissue.

Using radiofrequency heating, the muscle temperature of the treated area quickly increases. In turn, non-surgical lipolysis helps prepare muscles for exposure to stress, similar to a warm-up exercise before a workout. The temperature in fat tissue quickly reaches levels that cause apoptosis, which damages fat cells and promotes their permanent removal from the body.

This procedure can also help tighten the skin in the area where the treatment is applied, leaving patients with smoother and tighter skin. In other words, EmSculpt NEO offers two body sculpting treatments in one so you can combat fat and build muscle with a simple procedure.

How to Prepare for Lipolysis

During your initial consultation, ensure your doctor is aware of any pre-existing health conditions or prescription medications that you take.

Your doctor will provide you with instructions before your Dallas dermatology appointment to help you prepare for your procedure. Depending on your situation, your doctor may advise you to stop taking blood thinners and anti-inflammatory drugs before your procedure, as these medications may interfere with the healing process. It’s also important to avoid any activity that might irritate the area that will be treated, including tanning and shaving.

After your lipolysis procedure is finished, your doctor will provide detailed instructions to help expedite the recovery process. Follow these instructions and watch the procedure site closely to make sure your skin heals properly.

Schedule Your Lipolysis Consultation in Dallas

At Dallas Dermatology Partners, we strongly believe that patient care comes first, and your experience is our top priority. Contact us today to schedule a lipolysis consultation and discover whether non-surgical fat reduction is right for you.

What is the Best Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Procedure?

Loose skin is an unavoidable result of long-term sun exposure and the natural aging process. Dermatologists have many ways to firm up mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, and body without surgical intervention.

Non-surgical skin tightening treatments have grown popular in recent years because they deliver rejuvenating results with less downtime while carrying a much lower risk of complications. While many procedures are available to tighten up sagging jowls or address skin laxity on the stomach, thighs, and arms, we have seen the most dramatic lifting and firming results with Genius RF microneedling.

 

Genius RF microneedling stimulates collagen

This non-surgical skin tightening treatment causes new production of collagen and elastin– proteins that slowly diminish over time– and are responsible for keeping the skin firm and resilient.

Genius microneedling works by delivering radio frequency energy through ultra-fine needles into the deeper layers of the skin. The intelligent handpiece allows our dermatologists to customize the treatment in real-time, based on skin thickness, skin type, and other important considerations.

It’s the only radio frequency microneedling system that measures energy delivered in real-time– meaning we get feedback with every single pulse. This cutting-edge technology ensures enhanced safety, precision, and patient comfort. By stimulating an increase in the body’s own elastin and collagen, the skin gradually becomes smoother, tighter, and more youthful looking.

Unlike some other non-surgical skin tightening procedures, Genius RF microneedling is completely customizable and safe for all skin tones. The treatment improves the appearance of laxity, poor texture, and scars and can be used on the following:

  • Face
  • Chest
  • Neck
  • Arms
  • Stomach
  • Buttocks
  • Legs

Whether you want to tighten up your jawline or target loose underarm skin, you can expect minimal discomfort during this in-office treatment. We offer topical numbing cream or laughing gas, and the procedure can last anywhere from 20 minutes to one hour, depending on the extent of the areas being treated. A series of two or three Genius RF sessions may be recommended to achieve desired results, but this varies from patient to patient.

After the procedure, you can expect mild redness, swelling, and possible bruising that lasts a few days. Your skin may look slightly sunburned, but this resolves quickly. To expedite healing, avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week.

 

Treat early signs of aging without surgery

Collagen remodeling isn’t an overnight process. Some patients will see skin tightening effects within a few weeks of their RF microneedling treatment, but it takes a full 6 months to see the final results. The results are long-lasting. In fact, some people may not need repeat sessions for at least two to three years.

RF Microneedling vs. Microneedling – Which Is Better?

In the quest to maintain youthful, radiant skin, more people are turning to professional microneedling treatments. This minimally-invasive procedure is praised for improving a number of common cosmetic concerns, from acne scars and sagging jowls to wrinkles and rough skin texture.

At Dallas Dermatology Partners, we have always offered our patients traditional microneedling, which produces great results with minimal downtime. Now, we are excited to offer a new microneedling treatment that incorporates radiofrequency energy for even better skin tightening and lifting results.

Learn more about the benefits of RF microneedling vs. microneedling and how this advanced technology can produce dramatic, long-lasting results.

Microneedling vs. RF microneedling

With a traditional Collagen PIN microneedling device, sterile needles create hundreds of controlled injuries to the epidermis, which kickstart the natural repair process. Newly produced collagen and elastin work to plump the skin and improve the appearance of scarring, photo-aging, fine lines, and uneven skin tone and texture.

RF microneedling takes this anti-aging procedure to the next level by incorporating precise levels of radiofrequency (RF) energy. The depth of energy can be adjusted from one area of skin to the next, allowing it to reach deeper into the dermis for enhanced collagen production.

Because radiofrequency microneedling reaches deeper layers of the skin without injuring the epidermis, it reduces the time needed to see positive results.

Advantages of RF Microneedling

The addition of radiofrequency energy accelerates skin tightening and makes RF microneedling treatment better for a broader range of aesthetic concerns. Our Dallas patients have seen amazing improvements with the Genius RF microneedling device– especially with loose skin, acne scars, sun damage, irregular texture, wrinkles, and enlarged pores.

RF microneedling is safe to use on all skin types and offers a number of benefits when compared to conventional microneedling.

  • Less time to realize noticeable results
  • Less superficial trauma, which equals no downtime
  • Improvements are more dramatic and last longer
  • More effective at addressing wrinkles
  • More effective at softening acne scars
  • RF device allows customization for each patient
  • Targets deeper layers of the skin with more precision
  • Realize better results with fewer treatments

Collagen PIN microneedling is fine for subtle skin rejuvenation, but it takes more treatments, and the results are slower to show.

How Dermatologists Can Improve Skin Tone and Treat Summer Hyperpigmentation

Summertime means lazy beach days and long afternoons by the pool; however you don’t have to be a dedicated sunbather to experience skin damage from UV rays. Summer hyperpigmentation spots– dark patches that stem from an inflammatory process– can last for quite some time without proper intervention.

Reverse Summer Sun Damage

In most cases, sun spots, patches of discoloration, and freckles aren’t dangerous, but they can wreak havoc on your complexion and skin tone. At-home products can only do so much for these imperfections, which is why it’s important to seek hyperpigmentation treatment from a certified dermatologist.

From potent chemical peels to BBL photofacials, these professional-grade treatments can improve skin tone and reverse post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that has been caused or exacerbated by sun exposure.

Chemical Peels

When it comes to correcting blotchy and uneven skin tone, chemical peels are an excellent solution, and most entail little to no downtime. They can be applied to the face, neck, décolletage, and hands and are tailored in strength and actives according to skin type and aesthetic goals.

At Dallas Dermatology, we offer glycolic acid peels and VI peels, which combine a blend of powerful anti-aging acids and antioxidants that exfoliate the surface and deeper layers of the epidermis. By removing the dead and damaged skin cells, a more luminous and even-toned complexion emerges.

Glycolic peels are great for treating photo-aged sensitive skin, and stronger VI peels target melasma, sun spots, and areas of stubborn hyperpigmentation.

Genius Radiofrequency Microneedling

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling has been shown to improve skin tone and mild hyperpigmentation in patients of all skin tones. Depending on the extent and depth of the sun damage, patients may see improvements in as little as one treatment, though a series of 3 sessions may produce optimal results. RF microneedling penetrates deeper into the dermis than conventional microneedling, and has the added advantage of tightening loose and sagging skin around the jowls and neckline. Studies have also demonstrated that Genius microneedling can be an effective adjunct to non-ablative lasers for treating mild to moderate melasma – a common pigmentary condition in middle-aged women.

BBL Therapy

An BBL (BroadBand Light) Photofacial is an in-office procedure that improves the appearance of brown spots, freckles, darker discoloration, and other signs of sun-damaged skin. This cutting-edge treatment uses light waves to penetrate the dermis, where pigment cells absorb the energy and are destroyed. Each session lasts about 30 minutes, and optimal results are usually seen after several BBL treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. An added benefit of it is firmer skin since it triggers collagen remodeling.

 

Laser Resurfacing

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is often joined by fine lines and wrinkles, especially in middle-aged patients with a long history of repeated sun exposure. In some cases, we may recommend a resurfacing treatment with the Icon 1540 non-ablative laser. This procedure is suitable for all skin tones and works by delivering targeted thermal energy to dermal tissue. With laser resurfacing, patients will note significant improvements in skin tone, texture, and clarity after two to three treatments.

After any hyperpigmentation treatment, a quality skincare regimen and daily protection with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 35+ or higher) are critical to maintaining results.

Dallas Hyperpigmentation Treatment Dermatologist

Hyperpigmentation manifests in different ways, and no two patients are the same. For this reason, our dermatologists develop personalized treatment plans that consider your age, skin type, concerns, and expectations.

For customized hyperpigmentation face treatment that improves skin tone, texture, and radiance, book your Dallas dermatology appointment with Dallas Dermatology Partners. Our practice is centrally located to residents throughout Frisco, Plano, Addison, and the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex.

Best Non-Surgical Face Slimming Treatments

Dallas Dermatology Partners offers several minimally-invasive treatments that sculpt the jawline, reduce buccal fat, and slim facial contours. Non-surgical face slimming procedures are designed to improve aesthetic balance without the need for scalpels or significant downtime.

Utilizing the latest in cosmetic injectables, our board-certified dermatologists can recommend the best face slimming treatment to achieve your goals, whether you’re bothered by bulky masseter muscles, excess weight held in the cheeks, or the beginnings of sagging jowls and a double chin.

before and after kybella

What is non-invasive face slimming?

Non-surgical facial slimming is used to contour and debulk certain areas of the face for a more v-shaped or oval profile. These treatments are ideal for men and women who want a more youthful and chiseled look, where cheekbones are pronounced and lower facial features are in balance. For some people, this means giving the chin more projection by reducing drooping jowls or submental fat. For others, it’s relaxing the chewing muscles that grow larger from teeth grinding and jaw clenching. Depending on specific patient needs and goals, face slimming may even be achieved with targeted injections of dermal fillers.

Best nonsurgical ways to slim the face

Our practice offers Dallas patients a number of non-surgical face slimming options that are virtually painless and entail minimal downtime. Here are some of our most requested procedures.

Slimming lower cheeks and jawline with Kybella

By now, everyone knows about double chin removal with Kybella – a synthetic deoxycholic acid that destroys fat cells with a series of micro injections. Once the adipose cells are destroyed, they will not come back, making this a permanent solution. This FDA injectable can also be used to slim the appearance of chubbiness in the lower part of the cheeks. Once the fat cells in the buccal fat pads are eliminated by Kybella, a square or round face takes on more v-line contours. It takes between four and six weeks to see initial face slimming results, with continued improvements after each Kybella treatment.

Botox for masseter muscles

Botox injections are famous for smoothing deep wrinkles and furrows in the skin. This same neuromodulator effect works on slimming a square-jawed face characterized by bulky chewing (masseter) muscles. Masseter Botox relaxes this strong jaw muscle that can enlarge in people who suffer from bruxism, and subconsciously grind or clench their teeth. The injections take less than 10 minutes, and most patients realize noticeable improvements in three weeks. The result is a more feminine, heart-shaped facial profile without invasive surgery.

Contouring with dermal filler

Strategic placement of dermal fillers like Juvederm Volumna and Restylane can produce a face slimming effect. While it often seems counterintuitive to add volume, our dermatologists have techniques that can give the cheeks and jawline more definition. Jaw contouring filler can minimize facial roundness and create a beautiful, well-defined jawline.

Treating Rosacea with BBL

Visible blood vessels and persistent redness are the hallmarks of rosacea, a chronic condition that primarily affects the face. It is a frustrating disorder that often begins with frequent facial flushing or blushing with or without inflammatory bumps. While there is no single cure for rosacea, it’s a condition that dermatologists routinely treat.

Here at Dallas Dermatology Partners, it’s often difficult to avoid triggers that cause flare-ups. Instead of covering redness and vascular lesions with make-up, our patients can achieve clearer skin with advanced Broad Band Light Therapy (BBL) rosacea treatment.

Is BBL good for rosacea?

Yes, you will see noticeable improvements after BBL for rosacea. This is because Broad Band light treatments target dilated and broken blood vessels that cause flushing and redness.

bbl hero for roasacea redness

 

How does BBL laser for rosacea reduce redness?

The BBL Hero utilizes the power of Broad Band light to target unwanted skin pigment. Unlike other IPL devices, this innovative technology has four times the speed, three times the peak power, and twice the cooling delivery for a fast, effective, and much more comfortable treatment. BBL improves rosacea by heating broken blood vessels that are then gently eliminated. At the same time, the light energy stimulates collagen growth for a healthier, more even-toned complexion.

How comfortable is BBL for redness and rosacea?

This is a minimally invasive lunch hour treatment that is not painful. Patients will experience a sensation of warmth, or the snap of a rubber band with each pulse. The BBL Hero has built-in cooling technology to minimize discomfort. A topical anesthetic cream can be applied before the treatment if requested.

How long does it take to see results?

This depends on your skin type and the settings utilized for the BBL laser therapy. However, most of our patients see noticeable improvements in rosacea symptoms within 2-3 weeks.

What is recovery like?

There are minimal side effects or downtime after BBL treatment for rosacea. Mild redness and swelling usually resolve within 24 hours. Most people resume their normal activities right away, but it’s important to limit sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum physical sunscreen after your treatment.

How many BBL treatments are needed for rosacea?

While our patients see measurable improvements after a single BBL laser treatment for rosacea, most will require a series of two or three sessions spaced four weeks apart. The exact number of treatments needed to achieve optimal results will vary from patient to patient.

Broad Band light therapy for rosacea in Dallas

Persistent redness and facial flushing caused by rosacea are not only bothersome but can also diminish self-esteem. Broad Band Light therapy treats the source of this chronic condition with no downtime or discomfort. To find out if BBL treatment for rosacea is right for you, schedule your Dallas Dermatology appointment today.
