Tixel For Wrinkles Of The Eyes, Mouth & Neck
Post two Tixel treatments
After several years of testing at SkinCare Physicians, we developed a reliable Tixel protocol to help our patients with mild skin laxity and challenging wrinkles around the eyes and mouth.
Other treatments such as injectable hyaluronic acid fillers and laser resurfacing can also be effective, but Tixel has the advantage of being completely noninvasive. A series of three monthly treatments yields optimal results, and some patients will go on to have a fourth or fifth treatment for enhanced benefit. Recovery is rapid with several days of redness and speckled skin, and results start to appear within a few weeks.
Tixel works best for mild wrinkling, but can also be effective for moderate wrinkles. It can additionally improve skin laxity, especially around the eyes. We can even treat the neck!
Please ask your provider whether Tixel might be an option for your skin. Like many of our very happy patients, you’ll be glad you did.
Loose Skin Bringing You Down? Let Us Lift You Up!
Good elasticity is a hallmark of healthy youthful skin, but it naturally lessens as our skin ages.
To reverse this sign of aging, SkinCare Physicians has successfully relied on Thermage, a radiofrequency (RF)-based skin tightening device, for over 20 years. The heat delivered to the dermis using RF leads to collagen and elastin production and tissue tightening. Thermage is a no-downtime treatment ideal for improving firmness of the cheeks, neck, and jawline skin.
Within our tissue tightening program, our dermatologists offer two other modalities delivering heat. RF with microneedling, in the form of the Legend and Morpheus devices, targets bothersome looseness at the lower neck and other body sites such as the abdomen. Sofwave, an ultrasound-based device provides a third treatment option for skin firming.
We individualize every patient’s treatment course based on their skin elasticity, area of concern, and preference for down time. Let us help you pick the appropriate approach for your concerns and lifestyle.
Anti-Aging Tourism… In Boston!
Anti-aging tourism, especially to South Korea, has risen in recent years. The lure of tighter, younger skin has proven too great for many seeking to delay Mother Nature. In South Korea, the focus is on prevention, known as “well-aging”.
Did you know SkinCare Physicians was more than a decade ahead of this trend with the invention of “Prejuvenation”, a term coined by our own Dr. Arndt? A hallmark of both our strategy and Korea’s is skin tightening, literally pioneered at our practice over 25 years ago with the development of Thermage. Additional anti-aging treatments with Fraxel, and injectables have been studied and developed in our SkinCare Research division, keeping us years ahead. Unlike Korea, we only use products and devices rigorously tested and approved by the FDA and other regulatory bodies, many validated through studies performed at our office.
Chemical peels, Hydrafacials, and lasers round out our vast array of skin prejuvenating services. Save yourself a trip to Korea... let us create a custom skincare program for you.
Reclaim Your Skin After Weight Loss
Weight loss, whether through lifestyle changes or GLP-1 medications, can transform your body, but your skin often needs time and support to catch up. That’s where our dermatologists can help.
Subtle sagging in the cheeks or jawline can be tightened with Thermage or Sofwave, which lift and firm without downtime. If you’ve noticed hollow cheeks or deeper nasolabial folds, dermal fillers can restore balanced facial contours. For crepey skin, radiofrequency microneedling improves texture and elasticity. Stubborn fat pockets may respond well to CoolSculpting, while Aveli or Sculptra can help smooth cellulite and enhance body contours. To retain muscle definition, maintain adequate protein intake, add resistance training, and consider muscle-stimulation devices to amplify your results. Finally, a refreshed medical grade skincare regimen and fractional laser resurfacing like Fraxel can brighten dull skin and restore a healthy glow.
With the right combination of treatments, you can feel as confident in your skin as you do losing the weight.
