Get a Glow-Up Without Downtime

As winter comes to an end, your skin and body may be showing the effects of dry air, holiday overindulgence, and vacation-related inactivity. A glow up is in order, but can you really fit it into your schedule? You may be surprised at the options available that won’t leave you looking and feeling puffy, red-faced, or sore.

At Leading Edge Dermatology, with locations in Plantation and Ft Lauderdale, Florida, dermatology specialists Dr. Elyse Julian, Dr. Benjamin Kahn, Alana Willis, PA-C, Natalia Prieto, PA-C and Dr. Paloma Reiter offer cosmetic dermatology options to make your skin and body look amazing — all without the need for downtime. Here are some options to include in your glow-up game plan.

Injectables

We use injectables to help roll back the years and give your face a fresher, younger look.

Neuromodulators 

Injectables like Botox® and Dysport only take a short office visit for a quick treatment, and then you can go about your day. 

Both of these injectables are categorized as forms of Botulinum Neurotoxin Type A (BoNT/A), and help smooth out dynamic wrinkles (the ones your face makes when you smile, laugh, frown, or squint) by paralyzing tiny muscles under the skin.

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers can fill in fine lines where your skin has grown lax due to sun damage and aging, and even subtly change the shape of your face. Most dermal fillers consist of hyaluronic acid adapted for the area of the face being injected.

Thinner, finer fluid plumps out the lips and erases fine lines around the eyes, and thicker, more heavily crosslinked gels are used for making the cheekbones and jawline more prominent.

Injections from the qualified team at Leading Edge Dermatology provide a definitive glow-up that is noticeable enough to make a difference without markedly changing the shape of your face. Your skin simply looks younger and more supple, your features sharper.

Collagen stimulators

Unlike dermal fillers or neurotoxins, collagen stimulators like Sculptra are biostimulatory aesthetic injectables, meaning that they are able to kickstart your body’s own regenerative powers.

Collagen and elastin are the building blocks that form the structural support inside your skin layers. Your body’s production of these fibers slows down with age. Sculptra kicks production back into gear in a process known as neocollagenosis, giving sagging skin a lift and helping fill in hollow-looking cheeks.

Laser treatment

Laser (light) treatments penetrate seamlessly under the surface of your skin, encouraging rejuvenation from the inside out. We use the Laser Genesis system, which uses gentle heating to support collagen remodeling and neocollagenesis. This laser treatment is appropriate for rejuvenating skin affected by:

• Fine lines
• Redness
• Rosacea
• Scars
• Uneven tone
• Wrinkles

Revitalization can improve texture, minimize pores, and enhance your overall glow.
