Summer is ending and my skin could really use some help. Any advise?

There are a variety of ways to rejuvenate your skin after a long summer. Sun, along with smoking, is your skin’s number one enemy. A good skin care regimen (including sunscreen) is the first step. With the right products and time, some of those signs of summers past can be reversed. Microdermabrasion and PPX light treatments both can help speed the renewal process along with a minimum of downtime. For those looking for a more dramatic change, chemical peels and CO2 laser offer powerful ways to make a more dramatic difference, but require several weeks of downtime. The best way to start considering your options is to meet with our licensed estheticians.
Yes, every summer, you are exposed by sunlight more often and it is good that there’s a remedy for this.

I’ve been reading about Evolence and wondered how the price compares to Botox, figuring approximately 40 vials of Botox. Will the Evolence take care of “crow’s feet” and help reduce the dark circles and puffiness under the eyes in addition the the deep crease forehead wrinkles?
THANKS!

Botox and Evolence work differently. Botox is a muscle relaxer and used primarily for the upper face.
It is ideal for crows feet as it can be used to relax the same the that causes crows feet when you squint. In general, 10-15 units are used to do this.
Evolence, like other fillers, works by filling in folds- think of it as a paste filling in lines and grooves. It is best used in the lower face. Evolence does seem to be associated with less bruising and swelling as compared to some of the other fillers- I nice benefit.
Consultation with Dr. Hamilton or his experienced nurse injector Michelle Mann is the best way to find which treatment option is best for you.
