Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser technology is one of science’s most exciting and innovative achievements. One of the lasers Dr. Wald utilizes for laser skin resurfacing is the ultrapulse carbon dioxide laser, which treats sun-damaged skin, facial wrinkles, scars, and other minor skin imperfections, especially around the eyes and mouth. Some of the benefits of laser skin resurfacing include less pain, a quicker recovery, and, in many cases, a lower cost. The amount of improvement that can be achieved varies depending on the condition of the skin. However, laser skin resurfacing can significantly improve damaged skin and produce dramatic results!

Scinton® Laser

The Sciton® laser is one of the most advanced and cutting-edge technologies for facial rejuvenation. In addition to effectively treating resistant active acne, acne scars, skin spots, photodamaged skin, and wrinkles, this fractional laser also reduces non-cancerous pigmented and vascular lesions while tightening the skin.

Radiesse – Wrinkle Reduction

The quickest way to improve the indentations in the folds of the cheek-lip junction or provide fullness in the cheek  is to add Radiesse. Radiesse is a hyaluronic acid, facial injectable filler, that can last up to one year.

Patients who want an immediate improvement in their facial appearance, a filler is the solution. The injection takes approximately 5 minutes. A nerve block is performed prior to the injection to minimize any discomfort. There is minimal bruising and swelling. A patient can have the injection over lunch and return to work in the afternoon. Radiesse can not be injected into the lips because of the potential for lumps.

Please contact our office with any questions or concerns, or to schedule a complimentary consultation, 714-738-4282.

If you’re like most middle-aged men and women, fine lines and wrinkles have likely developed on your forehead. Over time, these conditions worsen, causing the brows to sag and furrows to form between them. To combat these signs of aging, perhaps you’ve tried various products that aim at restoring collagen fibers and smoothing out the skin. However, many people often see little, if any improvement with these products. When all else has failed to effectively eliminate aging in the forehead and brow area, cosmetic treatment is performed.

At his Fullerton practice, Dr. Robert Wald regularly performs endoscopic brow lift surgery. Also known as a “forehead lift,” this procedure offers many benefits.

Diminish Forehead Wrinkles

Facial movements, combined with other factors like sun exposure, can leave the forehead with permanent wrinkles. A brow lift removes excess skin on the upper face and tightens the remaining skin to smooth out the appearance of the forehead.

Minimize Frown Lines and Crow’s Feet

Years of squinting can cause deep creases to form between the eyebrows (frown lines) and around the eyes (crow’s feet). A brow lift can effectively reduce the appearance of these lines and creases and provide a more youthful facial appearance.

Reduce Folding in the Eyelids

Aging and gravity make the skin above the eyelids droop over time. By raising the brow and forehead areas, the skin sagging skin over the eyelids becomes tighter and less saggy.

A brow lift provides long-lasting results and is often performed concurrently with other procedures facial restoring procedures such as a facelift or eyelid lift. For patients seeking temporary improvement, BOTOX® Cosmetic can effectively reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and at the corner of the eyes (crow’s feet).
