Wrinkle Treatments

Time marches on and never stops; but we can help you catch up with it and always look your best. At Dermatology Associates of Atlanta (DAA), we have a wide array of procedures to force time to take a breather and to help you look as young as you feel. At DAA, we offer a wide variety of facial rejuvenation options to reduce the signs of aging.

A few of our injectable options for wrinkles, including Botox® and Dysport® , and facial fillers such as Restylane®, and Sculptra®, are used to take care of problem areas where fine lines and wrinkles are not desired. These products also aim to fill lost volume in the cheeks, lips, or other areas where more volume is sought. Results vary between types of fillers and the severity of the wrinkles corrected, but most will last for six months to one year.

Another choice available to our patients is laser wrinkle removal and correction. Using our Fraxel or SmartXide dot laser, we will safely and painlessly correct some of your more difficult wrinkles and age spots, resulting in a smoother, younger look.

For regular skin care maintenance we also have our medical spa, Skin Medics™, where you can take a more proactive and relaxing route to a younger look. Our licensed medical estheticians work closely with our physicians to pick the perfect skin care program for your needs. Using a full line of skin care products, chemical peels, Microdermabrasion, and facials, Skin Medics™ Medical Spa can give you an alternative method to dealing with wrinkles and acne, or simply help give your face a smooth, youthful glow.

DOT Therapy SmartXide Laser

Where other skin resurfacing and skin rejuvenation services fail, our new DOT therapy outclasses the competition. By creating thousands of microscopic perforations in a “dot” pattern, the skin is allowed to heal more quickly. Most importantly, DOT Therapy with the SmartXide laser is safer than traditional laser resurfacing techniques, including Fraxel. There are no injections, no sedation. Because of the DOT pattern and its flexibility, you can deeply customize your treatment to get the best results possible. As little as twenty minutes are needed for a single facial treatment and you may see significant results in just one week!

Fraxel Laser Treatment

Fraxel Laser Treatment produces thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatment in your skin, known as microscopic treatment zones. This treatment eliminates old epidermal pigmented cells. It also penetrates deep into the dermis. Just as important, though, are the areas of skin the Fraxel laser leaves untouched. For every microscopic zone the laser targets and treats intensively, it leaves the surrounding tissue unaffected and intact. This “fractional” treatment allows the skin to heal much faster than if the entire area were treated at once, using the body's natural healing process to create new, healthy tighter tissue to replace skin imperfections.
