“As we age we sink, we sag, and we wrinkle”
The key to facial rejuvenation is to restore the original shape of your face, and to encourage new collagen growth. Dr. Barr has several treatments that do just that. Each of her treatments are safe and simple and can be done alone or in combination with other treatments, to achieve your desired skin appearance.
We all know that age-related skin changes are due to multiple factors, including how much sun exposure you’ve had over your lifetime, your nutritional habits, the environment in which you live, and genetics. What few of us realize are that all of these causes of aging can be treated with natural methods and, to some degree, reversed.
The first signs of aging skin are usually visible in the fine lines of crow’s feet, and also in the deepening of the nasal labial folds around the nose and mouth. Neuromodulators (Botox and Dysport) work to reduce lines and wrinkles by turning off the ability for the nerve and muscle to communicate. This reduces the muscle’s ability to contract. When it cannot contract it cannot form the line in your skin that we call a wrinkle. With repeated neuromodulator use your collagen will naturally regrow fibers and erase lines. Neuromodulators are safe and affordable. The body will notice that this nerve has been turned off and over time repairs it. This is why neuromodulators need to be repeated every 3-6 months (depending on your body and its reaction to the medicine). This treatment takes about 15 minutes.
The natural “chemical” peels that she uses are much like having a facial done with longer lasting results. Peels are designed to dissolve the glue that holds the top layer of skins cells together. This speeds up the exfoliation process of the natural skin cell cycle, causing the body to increase the speed of new cell development. New cellular growth evens out skin tone and texture, tightens pores, reduces fine lines, improves superficial blood vessels and produces an overall glow. Peels help a variety of conditions besides aging skin and can be used to treat rosacea, acne, and hyperpigmentation. They’re done in less than an hour and there is virtually no down time. You may have some minor flaking for 3-5 days after the peel.
Dermal Fillers are used to fill up both deep and superfine wrinkles as well as to augment volume loss. Depending on what we are treating, Dr. Barr will recommend the best fillers for the job. The hyaluronic acid family of fillers (Lyft, Juvederm, Silk, Kysse, Voluma and Restylane) are good for nasal labial folds, marionette lines, the lines around your mouth, your lips, under your eyes and for cheek enhancement. Refyne and Defyne (also in the Restylane family) are used similarly but in areas with more movement as they flex with your facial expressions. Sculptra is used primarily to build volume over a period of 6-8 months. It is ideal for mid-face volume, fat loss in the temples, nasolabial folds and cheeks.
Microneedling is a very effective anti-aging treatment. Also known as collagen induction therapy, CIT, microneedling uses a device to deliver rapid needle piercing all over the face after it has been numbed. These little punctures stimulate the skin to produce collagen and release tissue growth factors. We then can paint on your own Platelet Rich Plasma, driving it into the skin. Adding PRP is like adding superman juice to the healing cascade. This treatment is almost painless because of the topical anesthetic applied. You may have a day of two of mild redness. Some people may have a small amount of skin flaking for about a week after treatment.
With all of these options available, you can restore and rejuvenate your face. Dr. Dhai Barr will help you choose the best treatment for your unique needs. From neuromodulators to lasers, there’s a therapy for everyone.
