Botox VS. Dysport
September 2nd, 2010When one is a victim of smile lines and wrinkles, they almost automatically choose Botox treatment. Although there is nothing wrong with doing so, it is important to know that there is an alternative treatment for frown lines and nasolabial folds—Dysport. Many patients, like those living in Torrance of Los Angeles, California, are uninformed about the differences between the two products. In today’s blog, we are going to first learn about what the cause of these frown lines and/or nasolabial folds are and then focus on both of these skin rejuvenation formulas that will help reduce and eliminate those wrinkles and smile lines.
The lines that appear between your brows and/or around your mouths (nasolabial folds) are a result of muscle movement and the passage of time. When powerful muscles between the brows/mouth contract, they draw the brows/mouth together, which causes the skin to fold or burrow. As the skin becomes less elastic with age, those folds and furrows result in stubborn lines. Because these frown lines and nasolabial folds are dynamic lines caused overtime by active muscles, they can be treated with either Botox or Dysport easily.
The main differences between Botox and Dysport lie between their chemical makeup. Botox is purified protein that is made up of Botulium Toxin Type A; whereas Dysport is composed of abobotulinumtoxin A. It is important to know the chemical makeup of both products because before one chooses an injection, they know should if they may be allergic to one and not the other. An allergic reaction to either Bojox or Dysport will leave unpleasant results, as it has done to a few people living in Torrance of Los Angeles, California.
Both Botox and Dysport are perfection solutions for frown lines and nasolabial folds. Botox blocks the release of a chemical that causes these muscles to contract, enabling them to relax. Dysport ideally does the exact same thing—stopping the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles, which causes these wrinkles and smile lines. If you would like to eliminate your frown lines and/or nasolabial folds, come see Dr. Umar at FineTouch Dermatology near Torrance of Los, Angeles. He will asses whether Botox or Dysport is the right treatment for you.

Fraxel Repair
August 25th, 2010One of the most popular fractional lasersis Fraxel Repair. Fraxel Repair is a revolutionary laser treatment that has the capabilities to correct deeper wrinkles, tighten skin, and remove years from a person’s appearance. Much more safer, effective, and comfortable than other surgical procedures, Fraxel Repair has life changing benefits for people of all skin types like those living in Santa Monica and neighboring cities in Los Angeles California.
Fraxel Repair uses a high intensity carbon dioxide (CO2) laser. In order to help reduce wrinkles, remove sunspots, and improve the tone and texture, thousands of microscopic laser columns penetrate deep into the skin to remove old and damaged skin cells. This fractional Fraxel Re:pair technology stimulates the body’s own natural healing process. Fraxel Re:pair is popular amongst patients living in sunny cities like Santa Monica and neighboring cities in Los Angeles, California because the treatment replaces the cells with fresh, glowing, and healthy skin for those suffering from skin conditions like sunspots.

This Fraxel Repair fractional treatment allows the body to heal the skin much faster than if the entire area were to be treated.
Because Fraxel Repair uses technology of fractional lasers, recovery time is much faster than other ablative procedures. But with that being said, each patient is different. Fraxel Repair is an aggressive treatment and can be tailored to a person’s particular needs to help reduce their wrinkles, frown lines, and sunspots. Like those in Santa Monica and the neighboring cities in Los Angeles, California people generally return to their routine activities within a week.

Fraxel Lasers VS. Fractional Lasers
August 24th, 2010This week in our blog, we are going to focus on the three different Fraxel lasers-Fraxel Repair CO2, Fraxel Restore 1550, and Fraxel Thulium 1927. Fraxel lasers are used to correct wrinkles, tighten saggy skin, soften frown lines, and improve age spots, sunspots, or other sun-induced areas. But before we go into detail about each laser, many patients in areas like Culver City in Los Angeles, California, have been confusing Fraxel lasers with other types of fractional lasers. Today, we will first address this major issue that patients should understand before choosing a treatment.
Many people have heard of fractional lasers but are not as familiar with Fraxel lasers. Most patients, like those in Culver City of Los Angeles, California, do not know that although Fraxel lasers are fractional lasers, not all fractional lasers are actually the Fraxel technology. Fractional lasers are used in cosmetic procedures. They are ablative, meaning they vaporize skin on the surface, removing the top-most layers of the skin. However, they ablate the tissue only in small areas, leaving the surrounding areas unaffected. Fraxel lasers do the same as fractional lasers but much more. They are able to treat sun damage spots, wrinkles, age spots on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, legs, and back; certain types of melasma, acne scarring and surgical scars. Fraxel lasers can even improve the fines lines around the eye and eyelids including frown lines, improve skin texture and town, and reduce precancerous lesions by replacing damaged skin with new skin. Although not as effective on redness, Fraxel lasers work very well on brown pigment and other brown spots.
Even though both fractional lasers and Fraxel lasers are extremely similar, Fraxel is the standard that is best for patients. Many clinics call their fractional lasers , Fraxel lasers even though they are Fraxel brand which is the industry standard for fractionated lasers. Patients actually seeking the real Fraxel laser for there treatment should verify if the clinic claiming to have the “fraxel laser” is actually is actually referring to the real Fraxel laser that is manufactured by Solta medical or they are referring to another less recognized brand of fractionated laser such as the Active FX, Mixto etc. Patients looking for top quality fractional lasers to remove their wrinkles, acne scarring, frown lines, age spots, and improve their skin tone and texture, FraxelTM lasers are the way to go.

Dysport to Reduce Frown Lines and Wrinkles
August 18th, 2010Over time, facial skin movement by the forehead muscles forms lines between the eyebrows. Otherwise known as frown lines, they form due to the way a person’s face moves such as laughing and squinting.

With just one injection of the abobotulinumtoxinA treatment into each of the five points between and over the eyebrows, Like botox, Dysport is able to block the nerve signal that causes these facial muscles to contract. The result is a localized reduction of muscle activity in the treated area as well as temporarily stopping the tightening of these muscles—all of which help reduce frown lines and wrinkles.
There are a number of benefits to Dysport. When using the product, there is little to no downtime after the injection. In some clinical trials, the majority of patients had frown lines and wrinkles that improved from “severe” to “mild” and in some cases, even “none.” Also, when some of Dr. Umar’s patients in Torrance repeated the treatment, the results were great every time.
