ELASTIderm®: The “Eyes” Have It!

Angela Veloudios, MD, FACS

Introducing: ELASTIderm® Eye Treatment

At last, a new skin care product that works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.  This new eye cream is an excellent addition to the other tools, such as Botox® Cosmetic and dermal fillers, to address the aesthetic concerns of my patients.

ELASTIderm® is a one-of-a-kind product that can be used alone or in conjunction with other treatment modalities to restore your natural youthfulness. It contains unique ingredients, such as a bi-mineral complex called Copper Zinc Malonate, which helps to restore elasticity and resilience to the skin around the eyes. ELASTIderm® is available in either a cream or gel, and is available only through a physician.

Enhance your natural beauty:
Dermal fillers for facial wrinkles

For patients seeking a longer lasting product that fills in lines, such as the lines around the mouth, as part of their overall anti-aging skin care regimen, dermal fillers such as Juvèderm™ injectable gel are designed to reduce the appearance of facial folds by using hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally hydrating substance, to restore the skin’s volume and smooth out the wrinkles and folds on your face. A long-lasting, reversible filler such as Juvèderm can provide a natural look which can be modified or adjusted according to each individual’s face over time. New clinical studies have shown that the effects of this product may last up to one year with a single treatment.

You can experience the benefits of Juvèderm injectable gel in a quick, in-office treatment by a properly trained physician who has expertise in facial aesthetic procedures. Typically, a topical anesthetic is used to numb the area such as the nasolabial folds (parentheses) around the mouth. For patients requesting upper lip treatments, a small amount of anesthetic is injected to maximize comfort.

The most commonly reported side effects are temporary injection-site redness, swelling, mild tenderness, firmness, and mild bruising. Patients who are taking any medications such as aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (ibuprofen,etc.) or other potential blood thinners such as Vitamin E, fish oil, flax seed or herbal supplements, should inform the physician prior to any treatment.

If you are looking for an in-office, long-lasting wrinkle treatment with immediate results and no downtime, consider an injectable dermal filler.
