 Nationally Recognized Boston area Cosmetic Surgeon, Dave E. David, M.D. is now offering Photorejuvenation (infrared light therapy) and Microdermabrasion skin treatments .

Photorejuvenation (infrared light therapy) for your skin which can control the visible signs of aging, including brown spots and hyperpigmentation, and help you look years younger without invasive surgical procedures. Dramatic tightening of skin, smoothing of wrinkles and rough spots, disappearing blemishes, softening of redness, and shrinking of pore size can be achieved with this natural light treatment. Infrared LED light stimulates your skin to produce collagen and elastin. Photorejuvenation, stimulates fibroblast cell activity in the skin, which increases the production of collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for your skin's tone and elasticity. The effects of infrared LED light therapy on the skin and body have been reported in over 2000 scientific reports and documents.

Skin conditions improved by infrared LED light therapy:

Tired, aging skin: Softening of lines, folds and wrinkles, healthier circulation, increased moisture and radiance, accelerated skin repair, toned and youthful skin surface, improved elasticity and skin texture.

Hyperpigmentation — Age spots, freckles, uneven pigmentation due to sun exposure, etc: Most cases of skin hyperpigmentation even out over time from the use of infrared LED light therapy.

Acne and blemishes: Infrared LED light can assist in the repair of acne and blemishes because it stimulates the skin's natural healing process.

Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion treatments, a less aggressive approach than dermabrasion, make use of a minimally abrasive instrument to gently sand the skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer. This type of skin rejuvenation is used to treat light scarring, discoloration and sun damage and there's even microdermabrasion for stretch marks.

Microdermabrasion is like a very fine sand blaster. It uses a diamond-tipped wand, to slough off the top layer (epidermis) of your skin and stimulate new skin growth. This technique also helps to thicken your collagen, which results in a younger looking complexion. Collagen is a protein in your skin that's abundant when you're a child and makes skin appear taut and smooth. Collagen production declines as we age, resulting in looser, uneven skin.

There is almost no discomfort in microdermabrasion, meaning you won't need a

topical or local anesthetic and there is no recovery or downtime.

*Microdermabrasion can:*

• Eliminate age spots and black heads.

• Eliminate hyperpigmentation (patches of darkened skin).

• Exfoliate your skin, resulting in a refreshed appearance.

• Lessen the appearance of stretch marks.

• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

• Reduce or eliminate enlarged pores.

• Treat acne and the scars left by acne.
