Caring
for your skin
Daily life here in Southern California, can pose many risks
to your skin because of the bright sun and the hidden toxins
in our surroundings. Your skin is actually a very complex network
of delicate tissues and a variety of things such as the UV rays
of the sun, the aging process, smoking and even just the air
around us can wreak havoc with. We at Son Surgical Center believe
that a good skin care program should be incorporated into our
everyday lives. A good skin care program would include the use
of good sunscreens, special soaps for cleansing and good moisturizing,
but also the use of a “retinoid” which is a strong
form of medicine that repairs the ravages to the skin. An effective
skin care program can do as much to improve your appearance
as the most invasive of surgeries. Your plastic surgeon at Son
Surgical Center, will work with you during your initial consultation
to determine the best skin care program for you.
The Concept of Skin Resurfacing
An amazing discovery was made by burn doctors several years
ago. People who had suffered more minor flash burn injuries
to the face, found that the outer layers of their skin would
peel off in the healing process, and in a few weeks, experienced
more youthful skin tone with less wrinkles and blemishes. They
often had a more refreshed look about them. We have of course
developed a more sophisticated way of achieving the same outcome
of skin resurfacing. But the principle is the same: the outer,
older layers are destroyed and removed. The inner skin is exposed
which looks younger because there are less lines, blemishes
and smaller pores and is also more even in coloration. Skin
varies from person to person with regards to the sun damage,
coloration and the thickness. This is taken into account at
Son Surgical Center and we will tailor our skin resurfacing
techniques according to your individual needs. The best results
are obtained for you be it through lasers and dermabrasion techniques
or through chemical peels using a variety of things such as
TCA or glycolic acid.
A little about Botox
Aging often causes fine lines called wrinkles to appear on our
face. They can appear as “crow’s feet” around
one’s eyes, or as deep creases in the forehead and as
smaller lines in the forehead pointing towards the nose. These
are the result of the movement of small facial muscles under
the skin. Botox can simply paralyze these small muscles and
help smooth the skin over them. Botox can be expertly administered
at Son Surgical Center in small, precise doses that achieve
the desired effect. The effects are impressive but are not permanent
and last between three to six months, thus requiring further
treatments as necessary.
The story about Fillers such as
Collagen
What do we do if we have wrinkles that are too deep to be treated
with Botox and too small to be corrected with a facelift? These
are the perfect conditions for achieving the desired results
with fillers such as collagen. One can achieve fuller lips by
using a filler. Collagen is nothing but a skin protein that
can be injected. In fact, a person’s own fat can be harvested
and used as a filler. There are new fillers being developed
all the time and some of these can provide excellent cosmetic
results. Some of these products may also have side effects because
they have not been tested. You will receive the best options
suited to your individual needs here are Son Surgical Center
so that you can achieve the best results with the least amount
of risks.
