For those who want a quick fix, there is an array of fillers and lasers that do the trick. “The most popular treatments right now for patients over 50 are Botox, fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane, and Pixel Fractional Skin Resurfacing,” says local cosmetic dermatologist Lynne J. Roberts, M.D. “Lines — crow’s feet, frown lines, brow lines, etc. — are caused by muscle movement. If you keep the muscles relaxed with Botox every three months, they will stay soft. And the longer you do Botox, the longer the results last between treatments.”

What about those unattractive vertical lip lines or “smoker lines”? Surprisingly, Dr. Roberts says that more than half of her patients with vertical lip lines have never smoked.“Those lines are caused by any sucking motion, not just smoking,” says Roberts. “Straws are actually the worst, and water bottles can cause them too. We can reduce their appearance with ﬁllers.” Fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane can also be used on “laugh lines”; each treatment lasts for one year or longer. If used around the mouth, one treatment usually lasts about four months.

Another popular — and highly effective — option for wrinkles is Pixel Fractional Skin Resurfacing. Unlike traditional laser resurfacing where the top layers of the skin are removed in a solid treatment, fractional resurfacing shoots a pattern of dots.This results in a shorter downtime: redness for only two days and no swelling, as opposed to redness for 2-3 months with traditional resurfacing. This can be used on the face, neck, chest and hands and takes 4-5 treatments for best results.

Dr. Roberts offers a fullyequipped IN-OFFICE LASER SUITE , with all lasers on site, where she performs laser surgery daily. In addition to laser surgery for adults and children, she also specializes in COSMETIC DERMATOLOGY, including skin rejuvenation, Botox, and “fillers”.

PIXEL FRACTIONAL RESURFACING provides firming of the skin and improves skin texture and tone, sun damage, wrinkles and acne scars with minimal downtime.
