Microneedling–The Latest in Wrinkle Reduction
You may have heard recently about one of the newest techniques for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction–microneedling. Some of you may be wondering what, exactly, this is.
Simply put, microneedling is a treatment for boosting your skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin, which are two of the most important substances for keeping your skin plump and youthful. Tiny needles, ones that are much smaller than the needles we use with dermal fillers, puncture the top layer of your skin, triggering your body to create the new collagen and elastin. Results may include improved texture and firmness, and I’ve seen terrific success in the reduction of acne scarring, pore size and stretch marks.
The microneedling device that has shown exemplary results in the neck, face and eye area is called Infini. It’s a radiofrequency (RF) device that smooths wrinkles and firms and plumps skin that has been damaged by routine aging, overexposure to the sun, acne or other stressful conditions. An alternative to other fractional anti-aging treatments, Infini requires little recuperation time while offering the results of a nonsurgical facelift. Also, it may be used on all types and colors of skin, even that which is dark or tanned. So, it’s an opportune time to consider having the treatment, after a summer in the sun.
One of the benefits of Infini is that it targets only the layers of the skin that need treating. To get the best results and the most production of new collagen, the deeper tissue under the skin needs to be heated to high temperatures. In order to protect the outside layer of skin, Infini bypasses the epidermis, keeping it cool and untouched.
The treatment is quick and easy, and recovery is more comfortable than that of traditional energy-based procedures.

Beware the Dreaded Droop
It is not something that you write in your calendar: “Skin sagging, July 30.” It is something that creeps up over time, sneakily, until one day, you notice.
The skin that used to appear taut and firm has begun to droop. You know that your body’s production of collagen has slowed, but you didn’t realize what exactly this process would do. Collagen, the natural anchoring substance under the skin, gives you a youthful and lifted appearance. But as it depletes, whether by simple aging or hereditary and environmental factors, your skin may begin to sag. Combined with the gradual decrease in elastin, the material that provides suppleness and resilience, your skin loses its tension and spring.
No area of your body, it seems, is safe. You may experience sagging in the face, neck, eyelids, abdomen, arms, legs and buttocks. While no nonsurgical treatment can reverse the condition entirely, many can drastically improve your appearance. We offer safe and effective treatments that will help your skin look younger and tighter.
Here are a few:
Thermage CPT is a thermal lift that is particularly effective for reducing loose skin around the eyes.
Exilis Elite is another thermal treatment that offers maximum power and targeted control, so that we focus on only the areas that need help.
INFINI is a high-energy radiofrequency device that smooths wrinkles and plumps skin. It is also particularly helpful for minimizing acne scarring.
Fraxel Repair is a laser that works on reducing deep lines, hard-to-erase lip lines, pronounced photodamage, sagging face and neck skin, facial wrinkles and discolorations, age-related/sun-damaged rough skin texture, acne scars and surgical scars.
SmartLipo TriPlex is a laser treatment that removes fat and tightens skin at the same time.
Kybella is a new treatment that we use to minimize submental fat, more commonly known as the “double chin.”

Introducing….Infini
We are happy to now offer Infini, a unique FDA-approved treatment for reducing wrinkles on the face, eyes and neck and tightening skin on many other areas of the body. In addition, Infini offers substantial improvement in acne scarring.
A high intensity focused radiofrequency (RF) device, Infini is an alternative to other fractional (or highly targeted) anti-aging treatments. It requires little recuperation time while providing the results of a nonsurgical facelift. A great benefit–it may be used on all types and colors of skin, even that which is dark or tanned.
Here’s how it works: Using a patented 3-dimensional wrinkle reduction technology system, Infini delivers focused heat energy beneath the skin (epidermis), where wrinkles originate. Heat causes the production of new collagen, which is the support tissue that keeps skin full and young-looking. It’s also the support tissue that disappears as we age, leaving the skin to cave in and wrinkle. The deeper into the skin the heat energy goes, the more collagen is produced. Infini is able to bypass the outer layers of skin, keeping them cool while targeting the deeper layers, which can withstand the heat.
All of this is accomplished through tiny microneedles that penetrate the skin’s surface. The process adds volume to tissue, which improves skin firmness and texture. Sags are tightened and wrinkles and folds are minimized. This fractional technique—one that treats only a fraction of the tissue—provides quick healing, safety and comfort.
