Getting older can mean different things to different people. Some of us look forward to retirement when we can forget about the daily commute and live life more easily. Others today enjoy their job and just decide to carry on working. But at least, when we get older, we have more choices.
However, one thing that we do not have a choice about is the way that our skin starts to sag and produce wrinkles and frown lines. This can affect people differently, too, with some just accepting it as the way things are, while for others it can be anything from embarrassing to very depressing.
Fortunately, if you are in the latter group, at Silicon Valley Aesthetic Dermatology we can help you because we have many different ways of dealing with wrinkles and sagging skin. These consist of a range of different laser treatments or a number of injectables.
The Most Well-Known Is Botox
No doubt, the most well-known of the injectables is Botox on the Peninsula, and at our office in Foster City we are uniquely placed to provide you with Botox on the Peninsula because we are pretty much right in the center. Now it may be that Botox is not the most appropriate treatment for your particular skin condition, and this is OK because we have several others that we can use. We like to call ourselves “vendor neutral” – in other words we don’t promote a particular product, but just recommend the one that is the best for your skin.
Indeed, it might be the case that a laser treatment would be better for you anyway, rather than an injectable, and in that case, we can provide the treatment which is most appropriate. However, of the injectables that we have available, there are Juvéderm, Restylane, Radiesse, Kybella, Dysport, and Belotero in addition to Botox on the Peninsula, so we would suggest whichever will do the best job of getting rid of those wrinkles for you.
Obviously, we can only do this after we have been able to examine your skin closely and assess its’ condition. We may recommend either an injectable or a laser treatment, but the good news is that we have every type of treatment right here in Foster City, which is more or less on your doorstep.
So, if you have been considering doing something about getting rid of your wrinkles and want to take the first step, the thing to do is to make an appointment to see our Dr. Miguel Canales. The consultation is free of charge, and he will then be able to plan the best course of action for your skin condition.
