Anti-Aging

Although skin is very durable and resilient, time, gravity and the effects of sun, wind and extreme weather take their toll on the appearance of our skin. Stress, sleeping habits, nutrition, alcohol consumption, smoking and skin care routines are all factors that affect the skin's vitality and health.

The Coastal Aesthetic Center’s anti-aging services are done under our doctor's direct supervision to provide a variety of in-office and at-home treatment procedures designed to repair, restore and refine the skin. Therapeutic treatments can improve wrinkles around the mouth, and on the forehead and cheek areas. Application of prescription gels, creams and lotions can enhance the overall texture of the skin.

Acne Treatments
Specialized techniques treat acne and clear the skin. Treatments also minimize and improve acne scarring and pitting.

Botox^™ Injections
This increasingly popular procedure uses a series of Botox™ or Myobloc™ injections to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Worry lines, laugh lines, forehead lines, crow's feet and other dynamic wrinkles caused by the contraction of facial muscles can all be significantly improved. Not only can this procedure take years off your look, it can also correct a tired eye appearance. 

Chemical Peels
Safe, gentle, and effective chemical peels of varying strengths can be topically applied to remove superficial layers of damaged skin cells.

• Glycolic Peels use Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) to loosen dead skin cells and exfoliate superficial layers of damaged skin leaving behind a smoother surface.
• Blue Peels use Tri-Chloroacetic Acid (TCA) to improve skin tone and reverse the signs of aging. Blue peels also loosen dead skin cells, but provide destruction to deeper layers of the skin, thus, permitting the underlying new skin to resurface.

Collagen Replacement
This safe, non-surgical procedure softens facial lines and wrinkles by replenishing the skin's natural collagen. Bovine collagen is most commonly used; however synthetic options are available.

CosmoDerm^™ and CosmoPlast^™
No matter how young you feel, sometimes your face tells a different story. Sun exposure, pollution, natural aging and lifestyle factors can all diminish the collagen layer that supports the skin. And where collagen diminishes, unwelcome lines and wrinkles may appear. Now you can replace your natural collagen through innovative new treatments made from human collagen. Collagen Replacement Therapy® with CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast replenishes the skin's collagen layer, smoothing lines and wrinkles. Smooth away telltale lines and wrinkles with just one quick visit. And since recovery time is short, you can easily sneak in a treatment during your lunch hour. It's quick, it's easy, and it will last at least three to six months. CosmoDerm™ and CosmoPlast™ have a nice consistency and are very smooth, soft and natural feeling.

Juvederm^™
As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvéderm™ injectable gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen! Recently approved by the FDA, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a next-generation dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or "parentheses" (or nasolabial folds the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).

Juvéderm™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid; a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvéderm™ injectable gel under the skin to provide a smooth, natural look and feel so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm™ compared to a collagen-based dermal filler. And, almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both Juvéderm™ injectable gel and another dermal filler* preferred Juvéderm™! In addition, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.

Radiesse
Whether you are longing to reverse the common signs of aging or address a health issue that otherwise would require an invasive treatment, you have more options in looking and feeling better with Radiesse™. Developed with safety and longevity in mind, Radiesse™ is a new-generation injectable filler that offers superior versatility for both cosmetic and reconstructive use without surgery. What sets Radiesse™ apart is its durability, longevity, and versatility. The unique composition of Radiesse™ provides immediate visual improvement common with other fillers, along with the benefit of long-lasting results. This is because Radiesse™ is made of very tiny, smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. The microspheres (particles) form a scaffold through which your body's own collagen grows, and this produces the desired long-term effect. These unique advantages make Radiesse™ the ideal choice for facial shaping and contouring along with other therapeutic applications.

Restylane^®
As you get older, your face may lose some of its shape. Restylane® restores that fullness and provides a smoother contour to the face. Restylane® is a natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. Restylane® is made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body. The average treatment results last six months or even longer.
