To satisfy the public's quest for younger-looking skin, the marketplace for cosmetic procedures has expanded dramatically over the years, with little signs of slowing down. From new facial fillers that produce longer-lasting results to at-home treatments that can temporarily remove unwanted hair, the average consumer now has many choices when it comes to improving their appearance. However, this trend also has created an influx of unqualified practitioners lacking the training and expertise of dermatologists who understand the science behind these cosmetic procedures and their effects on the skin. This can put patient safety at risk. Learn more about these new cosmetic procedures.
Saving Face Without Surgery? New Minimally Invasive Technologies Can Rejuvenate Skin with Minimal Downtime, Less Risks
The popular belief that good skin is something you're born with isn't entirely true. In fact, experts believe that genetics account for only 20 percent of natural aging, with 80 percent thought to be from accumulated sun exposure. But for those who would rather steer clear of going under the knife to shave a few years off their appearance, a new arsenal of aesthetic procedures that work without visibly wounding the skin are quickly gaining popularity.

Dermaspacing- An all Natural Way for Eliminating Scars and Wrinkles
Dermaspacing, also known as subcision, by contrast, is a simple, safe and rapid office procedure designed to stimulate the skin to produce its own collagen. No foreign or processed material is implanted. While it is uncertain how long the correction may be maintained in any individual, because the skin has been encouraged to produce its own collagen, it is reasonable to anticipate that the correction may persist for an extended period. "Worry" lines along the forehead, "scowl" lines between the eyes, and "laugh" lines, "marionette" lines and "smoker's" lines around the mouth are particularly well suited to this technique, which usually only requires a few minutes to perform during an office visit. Depressed acne scars, chicken pocks scars, and certain linear, depressed traumatic scars are also amenable to this approach. Learn more about Dermaspacing from Nelson Novick, M.D.
NonSurgical Cosmetic Procedures
Nelson Lee Novick, M.D. has developed a variety of innovative, non-invasive approaches to common cosmetic issues of the face, neck, breasts, and hands. Using a combination of botulinum toxin (Botox), dermal fillers (Restylane), and other advanced dermatologic procedures, Dr. Novick has created non-surgical treatments that provide a more youthful appearance.

Portrait® Skin Regeneration
Portrait® Skin Regeneration transfers nitrogen plasma energy deep into your skin to initiate regeneration well below the surface, thereby remodeling the skins architecture. This creates dramatic results that improve over time as the new foundation progressively replaces the old.
Portrait® Skin Regeneration alters structures below your skins surface, creating ideal conditions for continuing regeneration and improvements in wrinkles, tone, texture and discoloration. During the short procedure the system transfers plasma energy to your target area without direct contact to the skin. This technique preserves the skins outer layers which act as a protective dressing until new skin regenerates.
Portrait® Skin Regeneration is effective in treating:
- • Facial Wrinkles
- • Superficial Skin Lesions
- • Brown Spots / Sun Spots
- • Acne Scars
Treatment
A topical anesthetic is generally applied before the procedure, and you may experience a localized sensation of heat during the brief procedure. A full face treatment usually takes less than 20 minutes.
Portrait® is safe and effective, and downtime is minimal. At lower levels of treatment there will be some mild redness and flaking of the skin. At higher levels, the outer layer of skin browns and is shed 3-5 days after treatment. Once this occurs, the redness of the regenerated skin will last for about 7 days. Shedding may take a little longer at the edges of the treated area. Localized redness may also linger slightly in some patients. On darker skin, the localized redness may appear as a darker spot that lightens over time.
Most conditions require from 1-2 treatments, depending upon the desired outcome, your skin condition and the level of improvement you are seeking relative to downtime. Your Trillium Creek medical professional will help you formulate a treatment plan to achieve your goals.
Results
Shortly after treatment, you will see improvements in your skin texture and tone and diminished wrinkles, quickly giving you a new, more vibrant and youthful appearance. In addition, you can expect continued improvements in your skin texture and tone for as long as a year after treatment
