Botox, Fillers, and Laser Hair Removal Q & A

What is Laser Skin Rejuvenation?

Laser skin resurfacing works by delivering precision beams of laser energy into the deepest layers of your skin to stimulate collagen growth and tighten underlying tissues. As the heated skin begins a healing process to form new healthy tissue, you’ll see smoother, more youthful skin with fewer wrinkles, age spots, spider veins, and flaws.

What is Botox Used For?

Botulinum toxin (Type A), commonly known as Botox Cosmetic, is a natural, purified protein that’s used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. As a neurotoxin, Botox works by blocking the nerve signals that cause your facial muscles to contract, leaving your skin looking naturally smoother.

Small doses of the protein are injected through tiny needles at specific points in your facial anatomy to relax facial muscles and help reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, or the kind that are caused by your everyday facial expressions.

What are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are designed to address the many facial changes brought on by aging, including facial deflation. These minimally invasive injectable cosmetic products are made with collagen, hyaluronic acid, and other beneficial substances that help rejuvenate facial skin and add facial volume.

Women’s Healthcare of Princeton offers state-of-the-art Juvéderm® products, a leading collection of hyaluronic acid fillers designed to instantly and subtly add volume to various areas of your face, including your cheeks and lips.  

How Can A Chemical Peel Help?

A chemical peel is a non-invasive clinical skin treatment that addresses the damaging effects of photoaging safely and effectively. It involves the application of a chemical solution to gently help peel away the top layer of your skin, thereby reducing the appearance of uneven tone and texture, age spots, wrinkles, and other common skin flaws.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Whether you have unwanted facial hair from a condition like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or you’re simply tired of devoting time each day to shaving, waxing, plucking, trimming, or bleaching, laser hair removal may be just the solution you’re looking for.

Safe, non-invasive, virtually painless, and lasting, laser hair removal is an advanced aesthetic procedure that works by sending short-pulses of laser generated heat through your skin and directly into active-growth hair follicles. Once there, the laser energy is absorbed by the pigments in the follicle, effectively rendering it inactive so it can no longer produce hair.
