Skin care is a critical component to the success of plastic surgery, but also benefits those who have yet to visit the operating room. Treatments are designed to remove the top layers of dead skin, and allow the new, younger skin to show through. These treatments not only lessen existing wrinkles, but slow the onset of new wrinkles. Other problems such as acne scars and pigmentation changes (dark spots), can also be improved. There have been exciting new advances in products that can achieve these results, and we will show you how to use them. Beautiful skin is not an accident, but can be attained by those who know the secret!

Stronger peels of TCA or phenol may also be performed by Dr. Prescott to remove deeper wrinkles. The combinations of treatments we use will be based on your personal needs, skin type, and desires. The cost of skin care is extremely affordable, please call the office for fees.

Botox® is a dilute agent that can paralyze the small facial muscles that give you wrinkles. It lasts for appx. 3 months, and can be repeated as needed. Botox® works great for the wrinkles between your eyebrows, and the forehead. Crow's feet may also be improved. Botox® may also be used in areas to control excessive sweating. The cost of Botox® is determined by the number of areas treated.

Collagen can be used to "fill-in" the low spots that wrinkles create. Collagen is usually absorbed in 3-4 months. The cost of collagen is per syringe, and depends again on the number of wrinkles treated. Please call the office for current prices.

Restylane® is a longer-lasting filler which is more like a gel, made from hyaluronic acid, a component of skin. This lasts for 6-9 months, and unlike collagen, no skin test is required as allergic reactions are rare. Please call the office for current prices.

Other fillers, such as Perlane®, Juvederm®, Sculptra®, etc. are also available. Please call the office for more information.
