Acid Peels
Chemical, or “acid” peels rejuvenate skin by exfoliating dead cells,
eliminating blemishes and smoothing away wrinkles and fine lines.
Sloughing off skin cells by treating skin with a chemical peel allows
regenerated, fresh-looki ng skin to emerge that is more evenly textured and
hydrated. Mayoral Dermatology offers acid peels of varying strength levels to
address skin problems ranging from mild to moderate acne to severely dry

skin and enlarged pores. Recovery time for acid peels are usually less than a
week and involve some redness, flaking or slight burning immediately
following completion of the a peel. Because most skin can be safely treated
with acid peels every four to six weeks, this treatment is an excellent,
affordable method to maintain skin health and hydration while minimizing
the appearance of blemishes.

Botox® Cosmetic Treatments

One of Mayoral Dermatology’s most popular dermal fillers, Botox® is
injected directly into problem wrinkles, frown lines and furrows where its
primary ingredient-BTX-A¬ inhibits release of acetylcholine, a chemical
produced in the body that is responsible for muscle contractions. By blocking
release of acetylcholine, Botox® “freezes” muscles that form wrinkles and
prevents them from contracting. Within a few days of having Botox®
injections, recipients of this dermal filler procedure will see wrinkles
disappear and their skin adopt a firmer, smoother texture. Botox® is also
useful for treating hyperhydrosis, or excessive sweating, of the armpits and
palms.

Dysport
A dermal filler similar to the methodology and results produced by Botox,
Dysport is especially formulated to relax and smooth frown lines and
forehead wrinkles caused by years of muscles repeatedly contracting in the
same manner. However, Dysport differs from Botox because it seems to
initiate improvements quicker. In some cases, Dysport has dramatically
improved skin wrinkling within 24 hours of the dermis receiving an injection
of the botulinum toxin Type A ingredient constituting Dysport.

eMatrix–Complete Sublative Rejuvenation™
Radio frequency sublation is the magic behind the eMatrix skin resurfacing
treatment, a non-laser skin rejuvenation procedure that dramatically improves
skin flaws such as scars, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. By infusing the
dermis with therapeutic heat without disrupting other skin layers, the eMatrix
causes the dermis to signal the immune system that something is damaging
its cells. This results in the body initiating a healing response that promotes
skin regeneration implemented by RF technology. Safe, effective and also
used to eliminate stretch marks, eMatrix can deliver amazing results in less
than four to six weeks.

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL)
IPL treatments dramatically reduce the visibility of many cosmetic skin
issues such as age spots, fine lines, uneven skin tone, spider veins and port
wine stains. Using an advanced type of broad-spectrum light technology that
delivers therapeutic wavelengths of restorative energy, intense pulsed light
therapy is a superior alternative to other resurfacing procedures for which
some people may not be good candidates. In addition, intense pulsed light
can also be used to eliminate unwanted or excessive hair by damaging
follicles beyond their ability to produce more hair.

Juvederm®
A popular, injectable dermal filler containing the biocompatible substance
called hyaluronic acid, Juvederm® improves moderate to several wrinkling
and fills out unattractive nasolabial folds that appear as deep furrows
extending from the mouth corners to the middle of the nose. By enhancing
skin elasticity and suppleness with rich infusions of HA, Juvederm®
revitalizes prematurely aged skin or skin damaged by overexposure to the sun
while eliminating blotchiness caused by overly dry skin depleted of
hyaluronic acid and other nutrients necessary for maintaining youthful,
glowing skin.

Juvederm Voluma
To learn more about Cosmetic Dermatology, please visit http://www.mayoralderm.com/cosmetic-dermatology/
Juvederm Voluma is the only dermal filler approved by the FDA to fill out
hollow cheeks using the replenishing effects of an enhanced form of
hyaluronic acid. Because more than just skin plumping is needed to lift skin
that sags enough to cause sunken cheeks, the manufacturer of Voluma has
reorganized the molecular structure of traditional hyaluronic acid to make
Voluma the ideal injectable for adding contour to hollow cheeks.

–P–
Pelleve™
Another excellent, non-invasive method designed to firm sagging skin and
smooth wrinkles is the Pelleve™ system of collagen generation, denaturation
and muscle relaxation. Following a Pelleve TM treatment session at Mayoral
Dermatology, patients experience the sensation of tightening and firming of
skin due to stimulation of existing collagen and production of new collagen.
Moreover, changes to the skin develop subtly and naturally so that no one
will guess someone is having a cosmetic procedure using the Pelleve™
system.

Perlane

To learn more about Cosmetic Dermatology, please visit http://www.mayoralderm.com/cosmetic-dermatology/

Formulated to address thicker, more wrinkled skin damaged by aging and
excessive exposure to UV rays, Perlane dermal filler adds lift and volume to
skin while enriching the dermis with hyaluronic-rich molecules. Although
similar to Restylane in the way it firms skin and erases wrinkles, Perlane
works better on people who have deeply lined skin exhibiting more
concentrated dermal and epidermal layers.
Learn more about Perlane®

Photodynamic Light Therapy

Similar to intense pulsed light therapy, photodynamic therapy (POL) applies
certain wavelengths of light to treat wrinkles, large pores, acne scars and acne
blemishes and the redness of rosacea. In addition to these skin conditions,
POL therapy is also used to treat a precancerous lesion called actinic
keratosis by incorporating topical applications that enhance absorption of the
light energy to kill abnormal cells and promote new cell growth.

Pixel Perfect Skin Resurfacing Treatment

Pixel skin resurfacing offers superior technology based on intermittent laser
pulses that treat small, “pixel” sized skin areas for erasing wrinkles,
enhancing skin tone and reducing the severity of discolorations such as age
spots and birthmarks. By precisely targeting problem areas, Pixel leaves
surrounding skin untouched by its laser energy, which expedites healing of
treated tissues and stimulates collagen production in both treated and
untreated tissues. In addition, the painless removal of the epidermis allows
fresh, healthier skin to visibly replace skin once flawed by imperfections.

Prevelle Silk
Prevelle Silk dermal filler not only infuses wrinkles and folds with the rich,
“plumping” action of hyaluronic acid but also provides patients with a local
anesthetic called lidocaine which minimizes any discomfort that may be
experienced by people with sensitive skin. In addition, Prevelle is able to
strengthen and visibly enhance thin skin by adding volume to areas where
skin is furrowed and loose. Although dermal fillers containing the botulinum
toxin A like Botox can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and folds by
freezing muscles and inhibiting further contractions, Prevelle performs an
expansion of the dermal layer that effectively fills out facial hollowing that
sometimes occurs after rapid weight loss or an extended illness.

–R–
Radiesse
Smooth away moderate to severe wrinkles and nasolabial folds with Radiesse
dermal filler, a biocompatible, non-allergenic, injectable volumizer that also
reduces the severity of pits and scars caused by acne. Formulated with
calcium hydroxylapatite and a hydrating serum gel that infuses skin with a
healthy, radiant glow, Radiesse works quicker than other.dermal fillers and
restores a youthful fullness to faces that have become thin and hollow due to
aging, weight loss or illness.

Restylane®–Redefining Beauty™

To learn more about Cosmetic Dermatology, please visit http://www.mayoralderm.com/cosmetic-dermatology/

For the past 20 years, men and women have been relying on Restylane®
injectable dermal filler to remove severe wrinkles and folds and firm loose
skin. Containing rich, hydrating amounts of hyaluronic acid, Restylane®
incorporates “non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid”, or NASHA, to infuse
prematurely aged skin with nutrients necessary to create smooth, healthy,
supple skin. Once injected into the dermis, Restylane® instantly adheres to
the skin’s water molecules, creating a volumizing effect that erases wrinkles,
fills out folds and increases the integrity of lax skin. Results can last from six
months or longer, depending on individual factors.

Sculptra® Aesthetic
A lactic-acid-based biodegradable dermal filler that promotes collagen
production for the reduction of wrinkles and folds. Although, improvement of
wrinkled, sagging skin may not be as immediately discernible with Sculptra®
Aesthetic, the unique blend of lactic acid and other superior, hydrating
ingredients composing this dermal filler can prevent neck skin from
experiencing degradation as well as wrinkling of the skin on the backs of the
hands for up to 24 months. When the full benefits of Sculptra® Aesthetic
emerge after several sessions, skin will look radiant, smooth and years
younger than untreated skin.

Thermage NXT®
Based on radio frequency technology that enables superheating of collagen
existing in the dermal layers of the skin, Thermage® is an innovative, non-
surgical technique that reshapes unsightly contouring of the body, firms loose
skin and eliminates fine lines and wrinkles associated with sun damage and
aging. Radio frequency energy stimulates production of collagen without
harming skin or causing discomfort to people undergoing a Thermage®
treatment, which contributes to attractively redefining the jaw and neckline
and toning tired, washed-out skin so that it appears fresh, healthy and
youthful again.
Additionally, the type of non-ablative energy used by the Thermage® device
is aided by Comfort Pulse Technology, which enhances patient comfort by
cooling the skin during the procedure using a specially formulated spray that
prevents the epidermis from feeling heat from radio frequency wave energy.

Vampire Face Lift
Cosmetic and medical technology has teamed up to produce the Vampire
Face Lift, a non-surgical skin tightening and wrinkle-elimi nating treatment
involving a platelet-fibrin mixture created from the person’s own red blood
cells. The science behind the Vampire Face Lift concerns the platelet-fibrin
gel’s ability to stimulate generation of new skin cells which quickly fills out
wrinkles and firms sagging skin to give the person the appearance of actually
experienci ng an invasive facelift. Not for everybody, of course, the Vampire
Face Lift has been performed hundreds of times without any side effects

Vein Sclerotherapy
Eliminating unsightly spider veins marring the legs and face can be
accomplished painlessly and without surgery using Pulsed Dye Laser or
GentleYAG™ Laser technology. When targeted by laser energy, veins are
heated to the point of collapsing and being rendered unusable. Soon
afterwords, the body simply absorbs the veins so that the legs or face are no
longer covered with spidery, bluish-purple veins. Mayoral Dermatology also
offers the Vbeam® pulsed dye laser by Candela, a superior device that
reduces the appearance of spiders veins, vascular lesions, acne outbreaks and
rosacea inflammation.

Xeomin
Chemically resembling the injectable dermal filler Botox, Xeomin not only
reduces severe skin wrinkling and folding but also treats cervical dystonia
and blepharospasms, in which the eyelids experiences uncontrollable spasms.
Xeomin contains incobotulinumtoxin A, a special kind of botulinum toxin
that harmlessly inhibits muscle contractions by blocking release of
acetylcholine, the chemical primarily responsible for contracting muscles and
causing forehead wrinkles, brow furrows and “crow’s feet”.
