Most acne treatments are applied to the skin. Your dermatologist may refer to these treatments as topical treatments. There are many topical acne treatments. Some topicals help kill the bacteria, while others work on reducing the oil. Topical medicine may contain a retinoid, prescription-strength benzoyl peroxide, antibiotic, or even salicylic acid. Medicine that works throughout the body may be necessary when you have red, swollen types of acne. This type of treatment is usually necessary to treat acne cysts and nodules. Also, your dermatologist may treat your acne with a procedure that can be performed during an office visit. These treatments include: lasers, chemical peels and acne removal.

BOTOX® is the most widely accepted cosmetic treatment in the U.S. It is safe, effective, and can take years off your appearance. Used for well over a decade, BOTOX targets active age lines, such as those from squinting or frowning. Dr. George Skandamis is one of central Ohio’s leading experts in the artistic administration of this treatment. He can help reduce the signs of aging in the forehead, between the eyes, and “crow’s feet”. He can also help enhance the shape of brows and lips. BOTOX treatments take only minutes, there is no downtime, and treatments last from four to six months.

For optimum results with our chemical peels, it is imperative that the skin is prepped with the appropriate home care products.

Please keep in mind that peeling is a side effect of the peel and not indicative of the efficacy of the peel. It is important to protect the skin daily with SPF 30 or higher!

This revolutionary system, available only to licensed medical practitioners, combines precision brush tip exfoliation, topical solutions and variable vacuum pressure for the most precise, efficacious and comfortable skin treatments available. Dermasweep features a closed system with a variable level vacuum pump that gently lifts the skin as our bristles “sweep away” the dead layer of skin in a precise and controlled manner. Our patent pending bristle tips fully eliminate the mess and hazards associated with traditional crystal systems. Further, these polyester or nylon bristles prevent the buildup of keratin on the wand which has been a problem with other particle-free systems. DermaSweep enables air to flow through the bristles to allow the skin to be gently drawn into the bristle for a more effective and less irritating exfoliation.

Over time, the muscles above and between the eyebrows repeatedly contract and tighten, causing wrinkles. With just 1 injection into each of 5 points between and over the eyebrows, Dysport blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines.

Automated Micro-Needling (also known as Percutaneous Collagen Induction Therapy or PCIT) is a new innovation in aesthetic medicine for the treatment of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, pore size, acne scars and improvement of the skin’s appearance. After your skin is numbed with a topical cream, your provider will begin treatment. Tiny needles are used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in a thicker dermis with the appearance of softer wrinkles. Automated micro-needling also creates superficial microchannels, which allow topical serums and creams to be absorbed more effectively into the skin for better results. Patients typically need 3-6 treatments for best results. This treatment is pain-free and requires little downtime.

Another procedure is the surgical shave, in which the dermatologist uses a surgical blade to remove the mole.
