Perlane® is an FDA-approved cosmetic dermal filler that replaces lost volume and restores youthful contours to the skin to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). The unique hyaluronic acid gel particles in Perlane® are larger and designed for deeper injection than Restylane to add volume for structural support and lift.
Perlane® is proven to deliver long-lasting results. The procedure is non-surgical, and the results are virtually instantaneous. Studies have shown that Perlane lasts at least six months in a majority of patients.
Perlane® requires no pre-testing. Prior to treatment, avoid using aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John's wort, or high doses of Vitamin E supplements. Also, if you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, discuss this with Dr. Bukachevsky, who may prescribe a medication to minimize recurrence.
Eyes by Thermage™ improves skin tone and texture while effectively tightening and contouring skin for an overall younger appearance. Patients benefit from a single treatment with little or no downtime. Results are long-lasting, subtle and improve over time as new collagen forms. For more information, »

DeepFX Fractional Laser treatments treat the deep layers of skin, but keep downtime to a minimum. With DeepFX Fractional treatments, deep wrinkles, skin texture and scars are dramatically improved after just one treatment. DeepFX is commonly used on the face, around the lips, for crows feet, the neck, upper chest, hands and arms, and involves treating only a fraction of the skin’s surface, leaving bridges of untouched skin to aid in the regeneration process. Each laser pulse removes a narrow column of tissue while simultaneously treating surrounding skin. This deep heating causes immediate collagen contraction and long-term collagen remodeling. The result is softening and smoothing of wrinkles and scars, and improved skin texture.
DeepFX is typically performed in the doctor’s office and lasts for about 20 minutes. An anesthetic cream may be used prior to treatment to aid with comfort. Immediately following the treatment, treated skin will feel warm and will be similar in appearance to a deep sunburn. Over the next several days, a gentle washing and moisturizing regimen is prescribed. As the skin heals, it will begin to flake and there will be noticeable improvement in wrinkles, fine lines and scars.

Antioxidants are substances that protect the cells in your body. Environmental stressors like UV light, air pollution, ozone, cigarette smoke, and even oxygen create damaging by-products, called free radicals, during normal cellular metabolism.
Antioxidants scavenge free radicals and bind to them before they cause damage. The result is effective protection from damage to your skin. Topical antioxidants, found in better skin care products, improve the appearance of fine lines, reduce dryness, smooth skin texture, and can even help diminish the appearance of skin blotchiness while firming the skin.
Some examples of topical antioxidants include kinetin, coenzyme Q10, lipoic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E (found in many anti-aging products), and recently idebenone, [ee-dee-ben-OWN], the most powerful antioxidant available for topical use and the active ingredient in PREVAGE® MD anti-aging treatment. (Our Center is proud to offer PREVAGE® MD. Click here for more information.)
For the best protection in skin care, look for the strongest antioxidants you can find. You’ll be rewarded with healthy, youthful-looking skin!
