Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Is Evolastin by Syneron an Up Dated Version of EPrime by Syneron?

What is the Best Treatment for Upper Eye Fine Lines Without Going Under the Knife
Eyelid rejuvenation with local anesthesia
Apr 5, 2012
Significant improvement in the upper eyelid is achieved under local anesthesia without having to go "under the knife". An upper lid blepharoplasty is one of the most common procedures performed and is well accepted by patients and surgeons alike. A small incision with a fine scalpel blade is more precise than lasers which produces extra thermal damage which can actually take longer to heal.

Sculptra Today , Back to Work Tomorrow
Mar 26, 2011
As you can see from the responses by experienced Physicians, Sculptra injections require no additional time off of work or social activities compared to other fillers.  Swelling is often a soft appearance which fits in with a patient's eventual goal of restoring volume.  Take steps to avoid bruising as others have mentioned and most importantly, follow your massage routine as directed by your physician.  I have been treating patients for the past 5 years with sculptra and...

What Laser Treatment Works Best for Skin Repair?

Ablative V. Non Ablative Fractional Laser (Fraxel, Mixto, Active, Etc.)
Ablative Laser versus Non Ablative Laser
Oct 16, 2010
Your age and location level of your sun damage are two important factors to consider.  Ablative technologies work better for wrinkles and superficial sun damage such as brown spots and can be effective with just one treatment.  Younger patients (30-40's)  may benefit from nonablative treatments when wrinkles are mild, but you will have to do multiple treatments to get similar results to a gentle ablative treatment.  Thermal spread can be achieved with either...
What are the best Botox alternatives?
Radiofrequency Nerve Relaxation referred to as No-Tox is an alternative
Jun 5, 2010
Botulinum Toxins such as Botox and Dysport work by stopping nerve transmission signals to the muscles which produce frowning and wrinkles. In eyelid surgery and brow lift surgery, methods are used to interrupt the nerve transmission and produce similar results. Our clinic uses a minimally invasive procedure to soften the wrinkles of the entire forehead region by applying a small needle to weaken the nerve transmission to the muscles.

This procedure lasts between...
