Guide to Skin Care Treatments at Our East Bay Practice
Over time, facial lines and wrinkles, rosacea, acne scars, sun damage, and other skin problems can affect our appearance. To promote a healthier, more beautiful complexion, Dr. Jerome Potozkin offers a range of innovative skin care treatments in Walnut Creek for individuals in the East Bay. After a comprehensive evaluation and discussion, Dr. Potozkin helps patients to decide on a treatment plan comprised of the skin care treatments that are most suitable to their individual needs.
Laser Treatments
Dr. Potozkin offers a variety of quality laser skin care treatments for East Bay patients at our Walnut Creek practice, including Fraxel® and CoolTouch®. Before recommending the type of laser treatment that is best, Dr. Potozkin performs a thorough examination of each patient.
Fraxel®
FDA-approved for the treatment of brown spots, melasma, acne scars, large pores, and wrinkles around the eyes, Fraxel® laser treatment is an alternative to conventional laser skin resurfacing. Dr. Potozkin is pleased to perform rejuvenating skin treatments at our East Bay practice using either the brand new Fraxel® re:pair™ laser or the original re:store™ laser. Learn more about laser skin resurfacing with Fraxel® technology.
IPL
Intense pulsed light, or IPL, technology uses safe, high intensity pulses of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate the production of collagen. It also reduces redness by constricting the blood vessels. After one IPL treatment, wrinkles are often less noticeable and acne- and rosacea-related redness is diminished. Hyperpigmentation and prominent facial veins may also begin to fade. Optimal results are usually apparent after five sessions. Read more about IPL photorejuvenation.
VersaPulse®
Laser skin resurfacing with the VersaPulse® laser removes damaged areas of skin to reveal a clearer, brighter complexion. During treatment with the VersaPulse® laser, light energy passes through a specially designed hand piece that cools the skin. This innovative cooling tip allows the patient to remain comfortable during the procedure. Learn more about VersaPulse® laser skin care treatments at our East Bay dermatology practice.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
For patients concerned with sun damage, lines, wrinkles, and laxity of the facial skin, Dr. Potozkin offers treatment with the UltraPulse® CO2 Laser. This highly advanced technology allows a superior degree of precision and accuracy. Using a controlled beam of laser light, Dr. Potozkin gently removes areas of damaged skin, revealing fresher, younger-looking skin. Read more about the benefits of laser skin resurfacing.
CoolTouch®
The CoolTouch® laser represents a new dimension of laser skin rejuvenation. In addition to encouraging the growth of new collagen to promote more youthful-looking skin, CoolTouch® laser therapy may also be employed as an acne scar treatment. By helping to regulate the production of the skin’s oil, or sebum, the CoolTouch® laser helps acne-sufferers achieve a clearer complexion. Learn more about the exciting possibilities of CoolTouch® laser treatment.
Dermal Injectables
Whether a patient is interested in BOTOX® Cosmetic or a dermal filler such as Restylane®, Dr. Potozkin has the knowledge and experience to answer all of his or her questions regarding treatment. During a one-on-one consultation, Dr. Potozkin thoroughly examines the patient’s skin and discusses his or her aesthetic goals. Only after this examination can he recommend dermal injectables or other skin care treatments offered at our Walnut Creek practice in an effort to achieve the most effective results.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
Treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, outpatient procedure that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines, crows' feet, and other lines and wrinkles. A purified form of botulinum toxin type A, BOTOX® Cosmetic relaxes the specific muscles of the face that cause wrinkles to form. Learn more about BOTOX® injections with Dr. Potozkin.
Restylane®
Composed of hyaluronic acid, an important element of healthy tissues, Restylane® injections effectively diminish the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. In the human body, hyaluronic acid promotes plump, youthful-looking skin due to its water-loving nature. When injected into indentations and wrinkles, Restylane® promotes a smoother complexion. Learn more about the rejuvenating possibilities of Restylane®.
Collagen
Firm, youthful skin has a rich supply of natural collagen, which helps to form the skin's infrastructure. As the skin's supply of collagen diminishes, lines, wrinkles, facial depressions, and other signs of aging appear. By replenishing the skin's supply of precious collagen, collagen injections can help to smooth the skin and promote a more youthful glow. Read more about the amazing benefits of natural collagen.
