Reduce facial wrinkles

Years of squinting and frowning may leave deep wrinkles between the eyebrows, on the bridge of the nose, across the forehead and at the corners of the eyes.

Triad Dermatology has two different treatments for this type of problem:

• Synergy light-energy treatments
• Botox treatment

Synergy treatments treat a variety of problems

If you have multiple conditions you'd like resolved, Triad Dermatology's multipurpose synergy treatments may be right for you.  Synergy Treatments can lessen wrinkles, redness and sunspots, plus revlieve sun damage, dilated capillaries and rosacea-with no downtime.  While removing these unwanted effects of aging, synergy treatments can also stimulate the production of new collagen, which lessens scars, shrinks dilated pores, tightens loose skin and give your complexion a smooth, clear appearance.

What to expect

Synergy treatments combine gentle pulses of light with low electrical enery and instant cooling.  These preisely controlled bursts can be used anywhere on the body and won't damage surround tissue.  Each microsecond pulse feels like a slight tingle or, at most, a quick pinch.

Your skin will look healthier immediately.  Spots and broken capillaries will start to fade within a week.  Most people experience no side effect, though a few exhibit short-term local rddening of the skin.  You may reach your desired goals in just one session or in several sessions spaced three to four weeks apart.

Fast, easy Botox treatment

Triad Dermatology can remedy these problems through injections of botulinum toxin-or Botox.  Very thin amounts of Botox block nerve ginals from the brain to the muscle.  As a result, the muscle relaxes, easing wrinkles.  Since the muscle can't contract, lines gradually smooth out and no new wrinkles are created.  Botox doesn't affect the eyebrow muscles, so patients don't lose their natural expression.

What to expect

The acutal treatment takes just a few minutes with no downtime afterward.  Patients see the effect in three to seven days.  The effect gradually fades and muscle action returns in three to four months.  With repeated treatments, the muscle may thin, producing longer-lasting results.

Botox therapy may be combined with chemical peels, laser resurfacing and wrinkle fillers for optimal results.  Botox is less useful for smile lines around the mouth because the muscles in this area are needed for eating and talking.
