Have you noticed that the way people react to you now is different than when you were younger? You may have noticed that people admired your beauty when you were in your younger years. However, now people pay little attention to you or they may make less-than-positive reactions when they see you. This can hurt your feelings and cause you to have low self-esteem. One of the ways that individuals have been able to improve this situation is by adding shape to their cheeks with Voluma.
When a person is in their younger years, they usually have a full face. Their cheeks are healthy and round. Many people have what is often referred to as a baby face, even as they enter their teenage years and continue on into their twenties. While a person usually doesn’t want to look chubby, it is this facial volume that helps a person to have a youthful look.
Volume loss due to the aging process can have a dramatic effect on your appearance. Now that you are getting older, your cheeks are no longer as round or full as they used to be. Now they may actually look hollow and sunken in. Instead of people reacting in a positive way when they see you, they may be surprised by the fact that you look so tired and worn out. This can have a negative effect on your professional and personal life.
Voluma is designed to change all of this. It is a dermal filler that has been formulated to be used on the cheeks. It can add shape to your cheeks and give you back that lost volume.
When it comes to using cosmetic treatments, many people feel overwhelmed. They like the idea of enhancing certain aspects of their appearance, but they feel unsure since they do not know if they will like the results. This is one of the great things about using Voluma and other dermal fillers. They are temporary. So you don’t have to worry about being stuck with results that you are not happy with.
If you do not like the way your cheeks are shaped, you can do something about it. Our team at would be happy to explain the benefits that can come from using Voluma to add shape to your cheeks and improve your overall appearance. Contact us today to schedule a consultation at our office in !
If you suffer from rosacea in Columbus, you have different treatment options for relief from the symptoms. When you visit our specialist, your rosacea will be examined. There is no specific test for rosacea, but some tests may be recommended to rule out other skin conditions such as acne, eczema, lupus or psoriasis. According to your symptoms and the severity of your condition, a treatment may be prescribed.
Common symptoms include facial flushing and blushing, naturally reddish skin, a burning sensation on your face, pustules and red bumps or small cysts and thick skin on your nose. The symptoms may come and go, and everyone may not have every symptom. Rosacea is usually seen on the forehead, nose, chin and cheeks. It may appear and disappear at first, but it will not cure on its own. Treatment is necessary to reduce the redness and minimize the breakouts.
Prescription medication that reduces redness by constricting blood vessels is a popular first step when it comes to treatment. But oftentimes, this doesn’t really address the condition. If your rosacea is severe and/or does not respond to other treatments, we may suggest some type of light therapy, such as treatment with Forever Young BBL in Columbus. Light therapy may reduce redness due to enlarged blood vessels.
Of course, you cannot prevent rosacea from developing, but you can avoid the things that make it worse. We can also help you understand and select lifestyle changes that apply to you. Since each person is different, their rosacea may also have different triggers and symptoms. We can help you learn about your triggers and how to avoid them, as well as provide tips for reducing outbreaks.
Some of the most common triggers are:
Risk factors for developing rosacea are fair skin, easy blushing and heredity. Women are more prone to develop it, especially during menopause. Age is another risk factor since it is more prevalent in people between 30 to 50 years of age.

The only part of your face that shows more emotion than your mouth is your eyes. This means that your lips are a vital part of letting other people know how you feel. Your lips play a major role in affecting the way that other people treat you or react to you. Sadly, if you have thin lips, either because of genetics or as a result of volume loss, your entire face might take on a harsh or upset appearance. But you could add volume with lip fillers.
This added volume will give your face a softer appearance. You will go from people constantly thinking that you are upset or angry to people seeing you as a happier, kinder person. This is just one of the reasons why people have opted to use lip injections to add volume to their lips.
Lip fillers are designed to make your lips look full and to change their shape. Lip injections can be done on your upper lip, your lower lip, or both lips. There are a number of options when it comes to the materials used to augment your lips. Some of the more common options include dermal fillers based on hyaluronic acid as well as fillers that use fat from your own body to give you a natural-looking augmentation.
One benefit of lip fillers is that the results are seen immediately. You will come into the office, the lip injections will be applied, and you will walk out with lips that look full and youthful. A nice thing about lip injections is that you as the patient have complete control over how much your lips are augmented. You can control how much fuller you want your lips to be and what adjustments you want to the shape of your lips.
There are a number of reasons why people turn to lip fillers. Some people just naturally have thinner lips. Because of this, their face has an overly harsh appearance. Other people have lost lip volume with age. They turn to lip fillers to restore the thickness of their lips.
Lip injections are relatively simple treatments. However, it only takes a minor alteration in the shape and size of your lips to produce phenomenal results. Adding volume to your lips will make you look softer, it will make you look younger, it will increase your ability to express a wide range of emotions, and it will make you look like a better version of yourself.
Lip fillers are not right for everyone. During your consultation at in , we will examine the condition of your lips, your overall health, and then create a treatment plan that is right for you. Contact us today to book an appointment and learn more!
Your body ink has been with you for quite some time. Back in your younger days, you thought it would be cool to express yourself with symbols that held some sort of meaning in your mind. Even if others did not know what they were all about, the symbolism of body ink gave you a certain presence that made people stop and notice. You liked that part of the effect your tattoos had on others. Now that you are older, the artwork behind the tattoos has started to fade out a bit. You had heard at one point that faded tattoos were easier to remove, and you thought maybe it was time to strip away the body ink and live a more normal, ordinary lifestyle – one where the cops are not taking too much notice of your body art. Thankfully, laser tattoo removal exists.
What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
If you’ve been researching tattoo removal, the method you likely found to be most effective at getting to the root of your tattoos was laser tattoo removal. By targeting the ink molecules in the sublayers of skin with a laser, the molecules break up and are then removed by the lymphatic system. With laser tattoo removal, a series of treatment sessions is usually required for optimal results. As more of the ink is busted up, the tattoo shows noticeable signs of fading away. Although results vary from patient to patient, with laser tattoo removal, you have a good chance of getting rid of your body art once and for all.

Does it seems like your facial skin makes you appear older than you actually are? If you are displeased with the evidence of wrinkles, scars, and creases on your face, you should inquire if a chemical peel can benefit you. Chemical peel treatments can rejuvenate your skin’s appearance, leaving you with less wrinkled skin at the end of the treatment series. Since peels are not right for every patient, you are likely wondering if you would make a good candidate for this type of treatment.
Chemical peels come in three basic forms: mild, medium, and deep. The terms are a reference to the number of layers of skin that will be treated by the procedure. Each comes with different formulations, ingredients, and strengths to suit the individual needs of each unique patient.
There are some minor preparations you can take before your peel treatment to enhance its effectiveness and ensure that you get the most out of your procedure. For example, you should remain hydrated prior to your treatment.
As mentioned earlier, chemical peels come in three different forms. The type that you will require depends upon your own individual skin condition and goals. If you are looking for the gentlest type of chemical peel, you have come to the right place. Mild peels typically involve the application of a solution containing alpha hydroxy, glycolic, or lactic acids. They remove the outermost skin layer and require no sedation or downtime.
If you are looking for a treatment for common signs of aging like lines and wrinkles, a medium chemical peel may fit the bill. If you need to bring out the heavy artillery, a deeper chemical peel may be right for you.
Once you have witnessed the amazing restorative powers of a chemical peel for yourself, you will understand why so many people love these treatments. Learn more by scheduling a consultation at in . Contact us today to book your appointment!
According to one poll in 2016, half of the people between the ages of 18 – 35 have tattoos and a quarter of them regret it. More men regret tattoos than women do. The top reason is that they gave little thought to getting the tattoo at the time and have since decided it wasn’t a good idea. Laser tattoo removal has been the best way to remove unwanted ink, and PicoSure® tattoo removal is considered to be the best of the best.
The PicoSure® laser emits a much quicker pulse than other lasers to remove the tattoo faster than previously possible. PicoSure® is approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) as a technology that emits short laser pulses that interact with the ink particles beneath the skin with a huge amount of pressure. The pigment is shattered into dust-sized particles that are eliminated from the body through the immune system. It is a better system for hard-to-remove tattoos because it generally requires fewer treatments to achieve results.
Traditional laser tattoo removal may require up to 20 sessions and still not achieve the complete removal of the tattoo. PicoSure® tattoo removal, with its picosecond bursts of energy, typically requires less treatment sessions, and there may be no trace of the tattoo. It tends to require fewer visits and less time for each visit.
When you consult with our specialist, you will learn more about PicoSure® tattoo removal. If you plan to remove your tattoo, you will be given instructions for preparation for the treatment and aftercare.
PicoSure® is the latest and most effective laser tattoo removal system today. There is very little risk of long-term scarring, and you may look forward to clear skin again. You will be relieved of your tattoo regret and could even have a new one applied if you want.

It is understandable that you are concerned about your appearance. No doubt, you have seen for yourself how people react to you differently based on how you look. All of us have had those days when we’ve just looked phenomenal. As we go through the day, people treat us well. We’ve also had days when we’ve looked and felt horrible and people have not responded to us in kind. If you are dealing with excess skin around your eyes, it’s likely that you have more frustrating appearance days than you have positive ones. If you’re tired of trying every trick in the book, it may be time to consider eyelid surgery.
Eyelid surgery describes multiple surgical techniques that can be used to repair and restore your eyelid. While eyelid surgery can be performed to repair functional issues with the eyelids, in most cases it’s done as a cosmetic procedure.
The procedure’s focus is rejuvenating the appearance of your eyelids. The goal is to give you a more awake and revitalized look. It can help you to make aging skin, excess skin, and droopy or weak eyelids disappear. It can also aid in getting rid of those unsightly bags and wrinkles underneath your eyes that might have caused you to use so much concealer.
Depending on the severity of the condition or the factors behind the condition, some people will couple eyelid surgery with a facelift, a cheek lift, or a forehead lift. It’s important to differentiate between a brow lift and an eyelid lift. While both procedures can give you a more awake and vibrant appearance, the eyelid lift focuses solely on your eyelids, whereas the brow lift focuses on the muscles in your forehead that can also be causing your eyes to droop.
To get the most out of your eyelid lift procedure, it is a good idea for you to take the time to talk with our team. Let them explain to you how the procedure is performed and the benefits that the procedure can have for you.

Laser resurfacing is a specialized procedure that improves the appearance of fine wrinkles, age spots, injury scars and acne blemishes, and other discolorations. The newest methods involve the use of a CO2 fractional laser. This instrument can be finely calibrated to produce a scatter pattern of pixilated light beams. It’s much gentler on the skin than other laser resurfacing instruments, and recovery is much shorter.
We have found that using this technique not only corrects various forms of hyperpigmentation but also stimulates healthy skin growth. The benefits are therefore quite long-lasting, and the procedure need not be repeated for a long time.
The Skin Responds To Heat Treatment
Although the laser used in this type of skin treatment is rather weak regarding its energy output, the light is concentrated into tiny shafts. Therefore, some of the heat is absorbed by dark-toned tissues. The laser also gently removes the epidermal layer in the region where discolorations or wrinkles exist.
Dark tissues absorb the most energy, and this is why damaged skin cells that appear brown or red can be safely heated and degraded. The body will respond by sending nutrients for the creation of healthy replacement cells.
Why Use A CO2 Laser?
This type of laser can be finely calibrated to deliver just the right frequency of energy. The CO2 fractional laser has a special lensing capability that breaks these beams up into tiny shafts. Think of it as water being run through a showerhead.
The pixilated shafts remove the skin one layer at a time. The lamp is flashed in very short bursts, known as ultra pulses. The laser can even be recalibrated during the procedure to target darker tissue that lies beneath the surface. In this way, the dermatologist has complete control over the treatment process.
Consultation And Treatment
When we consult with the client, we examine the facial features closely. We want to look at the thickness of the skin in the areas of concern, the severity of any wrinkling, and the depth of blemishes and other areas of hyperpigmentation. This allows us to design a more customized treatment plan.
We may put the client on a pre-treatment skin care regimen in the days leading up to the actual resurfacing. The actual laser resurfacing treatment takes less than two hours. We pulse the CO2 fractional laser to direct energy to the epidermis. Slowly, this layer is removed, and the laser then heats up darker tissues in the lower dermal layers.
The visual improvement becomes noticeable within a week or so of treatment. The skin will go into overdrive, creating new epidermis at an accelerated rate. Damaged tissue that makes up age spots, freckles, or injury scars is slowly discarded by the body.
Ask Us Your Questions
This is a very effective treatment for brittle, discolored, or wrinkled skin. A CO2 fractional laser procedure is simpler than you might think, and the long-term benefits are certainly worth looking into. Contact us today at to learn more and to schedule a consultation.
