Cosmetic Dermatology Treatments in Millburn

Botox® is an injectable neuromodulator used to smooth out dynamic wrinkles, caused by muscles in your forehead or at the sides of your eyes pressing your skin, resulting in crow’s feet, frown lines, or forehead furrows.

Within a few days to two weeks after a Botox® treatment, your skin smooths out and wrinkles disappear.

Botox® can be utilized as a treatment for wrinkles, but also as a preventive therapy, for individuals 18 years old or over. Botox® and other neuromodulators — including Xeomin®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau® — keep your skin wrinkle free and smooth for up to three to six months at a time.

The experts at Millburn Laser Center use just enough neuromodulator to smooth out your wrinkles, while still allowing you to maintain a range of beautiful and natural expressions.

Dermal fillers to plump up creases and wrinkles

Nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and volume loss in your cheeks  may make you look older than you feel. These signs of aging appear when, over time, your supplies of hyaluronic acid (HA) diminish and your body stops producing enough to make your skin look and feel healthy and strong.

Our dermatologists in Millburn, NJ use injectable dermal fillers made of HA and other ingredients to keep your skin hydrated, pliable and firm. Not only that, but fillers can plump your lips for a more defined look.

Our aesthetic experts infuse your skin with high-quality HA dermal fillers in the Restylane® line. The HA immediately bonds with your skin, plumping up lines and wrinkles so that you’ll have a smoother, more energized look minutes after your procedure.

We are proud to offer the newest line of fillers that feature resilient hyaluronic acid (RHA), the only dermal fillers that can treat the dynamic wrinkles of the face that are typically addressed with neuromodulators like Botox.

These fillers work on the lines around the forehead and eyes, as well as in the creases and volume loss in the mid and lower face.

We also offer Radiesse, a dermal filler and collagen stimulator that contains calcium hydroxylapatite. Naturally found in the bones and teeth, this substance forms a scaffolding under the skin to restore volume and smooth away wrinkles.

At the same time, Radiesse triggers the body to produce more collagen, creating natural, long-lasting results.

Microneedling to jumpstart collagen production

Microneedling is a process that creates tiny wounds to encourage your skin to rebuild itself with new building blocks, such as collagen and protein.

Your practitioner in Millburn expertly creates narrow wound channels with a special, sanitary, single-use treatment head that is outfitted with dozens of slender needles.

The microneedling device creates thousands of microwounds that reach deeply into the most inner layers of your skin, so that your skin can remodel itself.

Over the weeks to months after your treatment, your skin repairs the wounds by first flushing away old, tired strands of collagen and elastin, and then refurbishing new collagen and elastin.

Your revived skin is firmer, fresher, and tighter. You will notice that you have fewer fine lines, age spots, or visible veins.

A series of about three microneedling treatments are recommended to rejuvenate your skin. Yearly touch-ups are recommended. At Millburn Laser Center, we offer the following microneedling treatments:

• SkinPen® — the first FDA-cleared microneedling device
• AQUAGOLD® —features gold-plated needles and can deliver serums directly into the microchannels.
• Morpheus8 — combines surface radiofrequency energy with a microneedle probe to jumpstart collagen remodeling, creating tighter, more uplifted skin

Chemical peels to refresh and renew your skin

If your skin is dry and dull, your skin cells are not turning over at a fast enough rate. Regular chemical peels encourage your skin to slough off old cells to reveal newer, fresher skin underneath.

Chemical peels remove the top layer of your skin so you immediately have a healthy, clear glow. Over time your skin repairs itself so that your pores are tighter and your skin looks and feels more youthful. You can have a chemical peel as often as once a month to maintain a dewy and fresh look.
