Dermal Fillers Remove
Dermal Fillers
The battle against the signs of aging can be constant. Many people have found an ally in restoring youthfulness in the form of dermal fillers. Doctors use dermal fillers to reduce wrinkles, enhance lips, rhytides, scars, and replace <a href="/reference/health-and-wellness/soft-tissue-injections">soft tissue</a> volume loss. In some cases these problems can be eliminated. Dermal fillers can't help with excess sagging skin, but they can immediately add more volume to the face at a lower cost than surgery. In fact, people have referred to dermal fillers as "liquid facelifts" because they produce many of the same results as a surgical facelift without the same downtime. Dermal fillers can give a more natural look than surgical face lifts because these fillers return the dermis to its youthful state. However, the results aren’t permanent, in order to maintain lasting results the fillers must be injected every three months to five years, depending on the filler used.
As we grow older, so does our skin. The dermis gradually loses collagen, elastin and hyaluronic
acid. Collagen is the protein that keeps our skin firm and youthful. It is essential for a youthful
appearance. Elastin keeps our skin firm and enables the skin to resist wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid
adds plumpness to the skin. It retains water and adds volume and shape to our skin. There are a variety of dermal fillers available and each is made up of one or more of these constituents. Discuss your options with Paul Stanislaw Jr, MD. The dermal filler that is chosen should be safe and effective for the area you want to target.
Most filler can be administered in a matter of minutes. The procedure is straightforward. Paul Stanislaw Jr, MD uses a thin needle to inject the dermal filler into the targeted area. Patients may experience some brief, initial discomfort. This is normal and will subside quickly. If patients feel any slight discomfort, it can be managed with topical or injectable anesthetics. Most patients need little or no downtime and many are able to immediately return to their daily activities.
When deciding which dermal filler is optimal, it is important to keep in mind that good results are also based on the injection technique being used. It is important to note that even though this is not a surgical procedure, it does involve the use of fine needles under the skin. It is critical to find an experienced specialist who can provide you with the best information and care. Paul Stanislaw Jr, MD will speak with you about your desired goals and recommend a treatment (or a combination of treatments) to achieve your desired results. Call (860) 409-1515 to make an appointment.

Wrinkle Reduction Remove
Wrinkle Reduction
Your face, particularly your skin, gives people an idea of your age. As you age, your skin naturally gets thinner, drier and less elastic. Though wrinkles are a normal part of aging, individuals who have damaged their skin by spending a lot of time in the sun, at tanning salons, or smoking cigarettes will be more likely to have wrinkles than a person who has not.
Three layers make up the skin: the epidermis, dermis and the subcutaneous. All three work together to support and protect the skin. When skin is young, it easily stretches and holds in moisture. This moisture “plumps” the skin, giving it a smooth and youthful appearance. The elastic quality of the dermis is due to elastin. Elastin fibers allow the skin to keep its youthful appearance, allowing it to “bounce back” to its original position when pulled or pinched.
Collagen is a protein in the dermis that plumps the skin and prevents wrinkles. Over time, this middle layer of skin (the dermis) loses both elastin and collagen. This causes the skin to thin and as a result, less moisture gets to the layer of skin that lies on top (the epidermis). Also, fat in the deepest layer of skin (the subcutaneous layer) that gives skin a plump appearance begins to disappear. This causes the epidermis to sag and wrinkles to form.
<a href="http://www.wellness.com/cosmetic/finelines.asp" rel="nofollow">Wrinkles</a> can be categorized as either fine surface lines or deep furrows. Fine lines are small lines found on the surface of the skin. These are much easier to treat than deep furrows; the deeper, more pronounced lines that are much more visible to the eye. The use of prescription creams, chemical peels, laser therapies and dermal fillers like <a href="/reference/health-and-wellness/botox">Botox®</a> can help with these problems. <a href="/reference/health-and-wellness/soft-tissue-injections">Dermal fillers</a> and Botox treatments are quick with virtually no downturn.
Easily injectable, a short visit to Paul Stanislaw Jr, MD can reduce the look of wrinkles for several months. The number of treatments required will vary depending on the severity of wrinkles. Laser resurfacing may require several treatments and remove a small portion of the outer layer of the skin during each procedure. Deeper furrows and creases, on the other hand, may require a more aggressive approach. Paul Stanislaw Jr, MD can advise you of your options in treatments.
Although there are various options for resolving wrinkles, it's always wiser to prevent them if possible. Working with Paul Stanislaw Jr, MD to maintain your skin by scheduling regular skin screenings will help you keep your skin as youthful as possible and prevent other more serious skin conditions. Please call (860) 409-1515 to schedule an appointment.

Acne Remove
Acne
It seems like every teenager has looked in the mirror while examining a dreaded pimple. Though mostly noticed on the face, acne can appear on the back, neck, or other part of the body. <a href="/reference/conditions/acne">Acne</a> occurs most commonly during puberty and often continues into adulthood. During adolescence, acne is usually caused by an increase in testosterone, which takes place in both genders during puberty. For most people, acne diminishes over time and tends to disappear almost completely by the mid 20’s.
Though most teenagers struggle with acne, for many the struggle does not end with adulthood. The truth is that acne can persist well into the late twenties, thirties, forties, and in some cases even fifties. Dermatologists call acne that does not clear by the mid-twenties persistent acne. This type of acne often causes deep, tender, and inflamed pimples and nodules. More commonly found in women, persistent acne tends to form on the lower face, concentrated around the mouth, chin, and jawline.
There are many myths about what causes acne. Dirty faces have been blamed, but acne is caused by hair
follicles becoming plugged with oil and dead skin, not dirt. People blame salt, sugar, greasy foods and
chocolate for acne, but these also do not cause pimples. The only myth that has any relevance is that
stress causes acne. Stress does not cause acne, but it can make acne worse.
A very common myth is that popping pimples will make them less noticeable and help them heal faster. This is not true. Popping your pimples pushes germs further under your skin, which could cause more pain, and even an infection. It can also lead to permanent scarring. Just picking at pimples can do the same and cause even more redness and pain.
Some people suggest doing nothing is the best treatment, but dermatologists would advise that letting acne runs its course is not the most effective plan. If left untreated, as some acne can leave dark spots, discolorations, and permanent scars.
The good news is that effective treatments are available — and the earlier treatment is started, the lower your risk of prolonged physical and emotional damage. Treating acne problems can often help boost a person’s self-image and self-esteem. Almost every case of acne can be successfully treated. Paul Stanislaw Jr, MD can help fight existing acne and help you be proactive in preventing new lesions from forming. Prevention will significantly reduce your chances of developing permanent discolorations and disfiguring scars. Call (860) 409-1515 for an appointment.

Sun Damage Remove
Sun Damage
Spending too much time in the sun can make you older before your time, or look it at the least. Too much sun exposure is responsible for most of the sun damage associated with aging skin. Sun damage is the measure of how much the sun has changed the look and feel of your skin. Sun damage, also called photo damage, not only makes your skin look older, it can actually cause your skin to age. The damage is collective which means that affects gets worse with repeated, unprotected contact to the sun.
One sign of damage are flat, brown patches on the skin. These “spots” have many names including sun spots, <a href="http://www.wellness.com/cosmetic/agespots.asp" rel="nofollow">age spots</a> and liver spots. They usually show up on areas that have been exposed to the most sun–the face, hands, legs and arms. Long-term exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays causes the skin to age causing sun spots and other types of sun damage including rough skin and <a href="http://www.wellness.com/cosmetic/finelines.asp" rel="nofollow">wrinkles</a>.
Taking preventative measures is important when going out of the sun. Wearing protective clothing, eyewear, and using sunscreen will help prevent further damage from the sun. If you see any discolorations in your skin, go to your dermatologist. Sun spots not only make you look older than you are, in some cases, sun spots obscure the presence of <a href="/reference/conditions/skin-cancer">skin cancer</a>.
For the damage that has been done, there are many treatments available. <a href="/reference/health-and-wellness/botox">Botox®</a> is an popular treatment for combatting wrinkles. A small injection of Botox immobilizes the muscles around the unwanted wrinkles. This causes the face to appear smoother. It also keeps the muscle from contracting and forming deeper wrinkles. <a href="/reference/health-and-wellness/soft-tissue-injections">Collagen</a> is a protein in the skin that naturally depletes with aging. It can also be injected into the skin to revitalize skin and visibly erase wrinkles and deep lines caused by sun exposure.
While Botox and collagen work under the skin. Abrasive procedures such <a href="http://www.wellness.com/cosmetic/microdermabrasion.asp" rel="nofollow">microdermabrasion</a> and chemical peels work to combat sun damage on the outer layer of skin. Microdermabrasion also uses a spray of fine crystals strips to exfoliate the skin and slough away damaged skin cells. With the damaged skin removed, a new layer of youthful and healthy skin can grow. Chemical peels remove dead skin cells and outer layers of damaged skin. Stripping away the dead outer layer stimulates the growth of a new, healthy layer of skin.
Sun-damaged skin can also be treated by a laser and light treatments. With <a href="/reference/therapies/light-therapy">Light Therapy</a>, the skin is exposed to flashes of light from a xenon lamp. This light technique can be helpful for easing wrinkles, but it is more effective in treating sun spots and <a href="http://www.wellness.com/cosmetic/skindiscoloration.asp" rel="nofollow">discolorations</a>. Laser skin resurfacing is another treatment that uses a wavelength laser beam. The beam vaporizes the outer layer of skin dissolving molecular bonds in the skin leaving it with a smoother appearance.
Paul Stanislaw Jr, MD can give you the professional direction to effectively treat sun damage. Even though you may not currently see the effects of the sun, we can work with you to create a proactive and preventive plan to minimize the effects of the sun’s rays.
