Specialized Treatment for Problem Areas

With many of my Level Three patients, making the above adjustments to their daily regimen, plus adding one or two of the procedures in Level Two: “Specialized Treatment for Problem Areas” pages 73-89) are all they need to be completely satisfied with their skin.

Hilary, fifty-three, felt like she looked tired all the time. Her deep lines around her eyes, lax upper lids, general crinkling, and sagging around the jowls were troubling to her. Objectively speaking, she could have been a realistic candidate for a face-lift or, at the very least, upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). But she was dead set against elective cosmetic surgery of any kind and - wouldn’t even consider it a possibility. We did five sessions of full-face noninvasive Smooth Beam laser treatments, several in-office peels, and a little Botox on the forehead and around the eyes. She also started a daily skin-care regimen that included wearing sunscreen, using antioxidant products—specifically ones with vitamin C, plus P. emblica and MSM—and at-home peels. Now, her skin tone, texture, and firmness are greatly improved, the lines far less visible, and she has a newfound radiance. She is absolutely delighted with the results.

Roberta, fifty-five, was so unhappy with her drooping brow and lined forehead that she first consulted with a plastic surgeon, even before making an appointment with me. He recommended a brow lift operation. The surgeon also recommended that she get a face-lift at the same time as the forehead lift because if he pulled her forehead tight enough to make an appreciable difference, the rest of her face would look slack in comparison. In the end, she still might have needed Botox to stop the wear and tear that caused the lines in the first place. Very frightened of plastic surgery, especially what subjectively seemed to her to be two such radical operations, she made an appointment with me and we opted for a series of in-office peels, solid at-home skin care, and Botox in her forehead. We could only get a 75 to 80 percent improvement because if we used enough Botox to make her forehead 90 percent better, it would make her upper lids and brow, both of which had a tendency to sag, droop further. Nonetheless, the results were dramatic. She was and continues to be thrilled with the results of this game plan.

Sometimes, keeping a little extra weight on and preventative measures can make all the difference. Emily, fifty, was truly a genetic miracle. She came to me when she was forty-five, with no obvious need to tweak her regimen. She looked like she was in her thirties. Still, she wanted to prolong her youthful appearance. She started using the full spectrum of antiaging ingredients in at-home products as well as getting in-office peels once a month, plus doing a little Botox on the few faint lines of her forehead that were just making their presence known. At the same time, she made the conscious decision to stop trying to lose
