How to Get Rid of Dull, Dry Skin After Summer

Spending time laying out by the swimming pool or vacationing at the beach are two of the ways that most people like to relax during the summer. And although a little bit of sun isn’t going to cause too much harm, too much of it may lead to premature wrinkles, fine lines, and dull, dry skin. To help restore the moisture and appearance of your skin, we have created a list of a few ways that you can get rid of the dullness. Are you ready to learn some more? If so, then read on.

Exfoliate

If you don’t exfoliate at least once a week, then you should add this step into your skincare routine. Exfoliating every two to three days is one of the best ways for you to get rid of dry, dead skin all-around your face; especially on your nose, forehead, and cheeks. When choosing an exfoliating scrub, choose something that is abrasive enough to get off dead skin but not so abrasive that it makes your skin feel raw afterward.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation

One of our favorite noninvasive treatments that we offer patients is laser resurfacing. Laser resurfacing is used for a variety of different skin concerns, including dullness. By targeting the top few layers of the skin, a laser will encourage the growth of new skin, which causes the existing top layers to slough off. When this happens, new skin cells are created, and patients tend to experience smoother, healthier skin overall.

If you have noticed that your skin is looking and feeling dry and dull, then it’s time to add a few things to your skin routine. During your initial consultation with Dr. Weinstein, he will take a closer look at your skin and help create a plan to get your skin back on track. Ready to schedule our consultation?

How Fillers Can Make You Feel Sexier About Yourself

Here at our office, Dr. Larry Weinstein believes that all of his patients should feel sexy and confident about themselves at all times. Whether your confidence is dwindling because of fine lines and wrinkles or if you just need a little pick-me-up, we have a few different injectables that may help you feel sexier in your skin.

Botox

If age is making you feel less sexy than ever, then Botox may be the perfect thing for you. Botox works to help soften fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes and forehead. By making strategic injections, Dr. Weinstein can help soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to give you a naturally, more youthful look.

Fillers

If you feel like you have lost all volume in your cheeks, then fillers can help. Unlike Botox which works at a more muscular level, fillers do just as their name states and they fill in fine lines; giving you a more youthful look. Another fun thing about dermal fillers is that when they are strategically placed, they can also help add more contour to your cheekbones; giving you a sexier look.

Lip Fillers

Fillers aren’t just for your face, they can also be used to plump up your pout. And what’s sexier than fuller lips? Just about nothing in our book. Whether you want noticeably fuller lips or if you just want to add a little bit more definition to them, Dr. Weinstein will sit down with you beforehand to help determine the best way to give you those results.

We can help you feel sexier than ever. To learn more, contact our Chester office at 908-879-2222.

How to Spring Into Warmer Weather With Smoother Skin

If anti-aging skin care products just don’t seem to be doing the trick anymore, but you still want to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles, then Dr. Larry Weinstein has several options for you. Whether you’re looking for something as simple as fillers or something a little more permanent like a facelift, we have several ways for you to spring into warmer weather with smoother, more youthful looking skin.

Facial Fillers

Facial fillers like Radiesse, Restylane, and Juvederm are popular for their ability to help temporarily fill in fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, cheeks, and nose without you having to undergo any surgery. And because they typically last in a year on average, there really isn’t’ much upkeep involved.

Botox

If the fine lines and wrinkles on your forehead and around your eyes are giving you grief, then Botox may be your number one go to. Botox is an injectable made from the ingredient botulinum toxin A. When injected into your facial muscles, Botox temporarily blocks your muscles from contracting and forming facial movements that make those wrinkles.

A Facelift

A facelift procedure can also be done to help you get rid of fine lines and wrinkles before the weather starts to heat up. During this surgical procedure, Dr. Larry Weinstein will tighten deep facial tissues and lift excess skin to give you a more youthful look. And because a facelift lasts longer than injectables, you won’t have to worry about much upkeep if any at all.

Warmer weather means more time spent outside with the one you love most. However, if you have fine lines and wrinkles that are making you feel self-conscious, you may not want to do much of anything at all. Luckily, with these three options, we can help you spring into warmer weather in no time. Contact our Chester office today to learn more: 908-879-2222.

A Wrinkle In Time: 3 Myths About Wrinkles Debunked

Wrinkles: almost everyone has them but we all hate them. Whether you’re obsessed with beauty blogs, beauty magazines, or just want to look younger, it can seem like there is a no face cream or procedure around every corner to try to prevent wrinkles. So, what are wrinkles and what’s causing them? Let’s take a closer look at three common myths about wrinkles that we’ve debunked.

Myth 1: Pulling At Your Skin Causes Wrinkles

Okay, if you’re going to sit in front of a mirror all day pulling at your skin for hours on end, we can’t necessarily call this a myth— you may get a wrinkle or two by doing that. But if you gently pull on your skin when putting on makeup or even putting your contacts in, this slight amount of pressure on your skin isn’t going to cause any wrinkles.

Myth 2: Only Old People Get them

You’d be surprised to learn that people in their early twenties and even teens start to show signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles across their face and forehead. Even though wrinkles aren’t as prominent in younger people, they are still a definite possibility— which is one of the reasons why dermal fillers and Botox are about as popular among twenty-year-olds as they are amongst fifty-somethings.

Myth 3: SPF is Only for the Summer

One of the leading causes of fine lines and wrinkles is sun damage. And because the majority of people only wear sunscreen during the summer months, they are putting themselves at a higher risk of getting wrinkles during off seasons like the fall and winter. Make sure that you are wearing a daily moisturizer that has a sunscreen built into it.

How to Get Selfie Ready In Time for the Holidays

Whether you prefer to take selfies with your phone, tablet, or even a Polaroid, one thing is for certain— it’s important to always be selfie-ready— especially around the holidays. Here at

Dr. Larry Weinstein’s office, we understand the importance of having flawless skin, a sexy pout, and the best look to get you the most likes on social media. And although you can do a few touch-ups with a filter, having a naturally flawless appearance is what everyone wants. Here are a few ways you can get selfie-ready.

Botox

Whether you’re in your twenties or fifties, Botox can be a real selfie-saver. Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles in your forehead and around your eyes. Once relaxed, it softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles across your face— leaving you with that perfectly wrinkle-free complexion you’ve always wanted.

Fillers

Kylie Jenner isn’t just famous because of her family— she’s also famous because of those big, sexy lips. But, if you’ve followed Kylie since the beginning of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, you know that she hasn’t always had full lips— she uses fillers. If you want to make your followers stop in their tracks this holiday season, consider getting dermal fillers from Dr. Larry Weinstein. By strategically injecting your lips and the skin around your lips with fillers, you can get a fuller, sexier pout in no time.

It used to be that you could sit in front of a camera, smile and say cheese, and hope for the best, knowing that only a handful of people would ever see that picture. However, nowadays, as soon as you post a photo on social media all of your followers can have immediate access to it— which can feel like a lot of pressure. Luckily, with fillers and Botox, Dr. Larry Weinstein can get you selfie-ready just in time for the holidays.

When to Consider Getting Botox

Botox has been and still is one of the most popular procedures that patients come into Dr. Larry Weinstein to get. By temporarily relaxing the muscles around the eyes and forehead, Botox works to give patients a wrinkle-free complexion. However, as one of those things that just about everyone is flocking to get, it can be hard to know when you should start getting Botox done. Read on to learn more.

When You Start Noticing Wrinkles

Because everyone has different genetics and skin types, it’s hard to give a definitive answer to what age you should start getting Botox done. However, it’s safe to say that you should start coming in to get Botox as soon as you start noticing wrinkles around your eyes and forehead. To test out whether or not you have wrinkles, try scrunching up your forehead and the skin around your eyes while standing in front of the mirror. Once you relax, are the wrinkles still there or have they gone away? If they are present, then you need Botox. If they vanish right away, you still have time to spare.

Look At Your Family History

To help you decide when you should start getting Botox, look at your family’s skin. For instance, do your mother and grandmother have wrinkly skin or is it as smooth as butter? If your family is known for having prematurely aged skin, then you may want to consider getting Botox done sooner than later.

Notice Your Habits

Are you a fairly animated person? Do you make a lot of facial expressions when you are talking to people? If so, you are more likely to get premature wrinkles, which means that you should start getting Botox injections sooner than later.

To learn whether or not you are in need of getting Botox injections, schedule a consultation with Dr. Larry Weinstein today!

Look Younger at Any Age

Aging is a process we must all experience at our own pace. This doesn’t mean that we should feel forced into an appearance that does not accurately depict who we are and how we feel on the inside. For many men and women, the evidence of a good, long life is exhibited in the form of smile lines (and frown lines), crow’s feet, sagging jowls, and tired-looking eyes. Who likes the sound of that? If you don’t, consider the ways that you can look as young as you feel.

Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty had it right! Ok, so she had no choice in the matter of her shut-eye. However, there is something to be said for sleep as it relates not only to health and wellness, but also to the aging process. Immediately following just one night of tossing and turning, you are treated to new bags under the eyes, heavy upper lids, and even a flattened appearance. If these kind of nights stack up, as they can with age, your appearance will reflect it. Making sleep a priority can save you from premature conditions, so shoot for 7 or more hours every night.

Beauty in a Bottle

Topical skin care solutions cannot do magic, but it is necessary to provide nourishing ingredients that ward off the signs of aging. The thing about skin care is that it can take time to develop the right program for you. From year to year, your skin care needs may change, as well. Consulting with a skin care specialist, rather than a salesperson at a cosmetics counter, is a wise decision regardless of whether your goal is to preserve smooth, youthful skin or to correct a problem like dark spots or wrinkles.

Managing the Signs of Aging

The signs of age are going to happen; there is no way around it. However, there are solutions that can ease your journey through the ages. Patients of Dr. Weinstein have options, and not all of them require surgery. Depending on your concerns, and on your desired result, you may wish to explore options such as Botox or dermal fillers. If cosmetic surgery is the most appropriate method of rejuvenation, you can feel confident knowing that precision techniques have achieved outstanding results for thousands of patients.

Extend Your Liquid Facelift Results!

A liquid facelift is a procedure that rejuvenates the face and improves facial contour with the use of Botox and other dermal fillers. The effects of a liquid facelift does not last a lifetime. Due to continuous aging and other external factors, the patient may have to revisit her doctor for another treatment in order to maintain results. However, there are also ways to preserve the new contour and freshness of your face and see the results last longer!

Tip #1: Only use the best skin care products.

To make the most out of your liquid facelift, it is important to have an effective skin care regimen using the highest-grade skin care products. It can be difficult to sort out what really is effective because of some claims that appear to be just exaggerated. To determine what would really work on your skin, consult your doctor. You will most likely be prescribed with medical-grade products for skin care.

Tip #2: Your physician’s immediate post-treatment advice matters.

It is essential that you listen intently to the instructions provided by your doctor, including not to lie down for a couple of hours after treatment. Any exaggerated movement in the muscle or any excessive physical activity during the first few hours can affect the appearance of your liquid facelift.

Tip #3: Routine follow-up treatments can do wonders.

Having regular visits to your cosmetic clinic has a huge impact on how long the effects of your liquid facelift will last by stimulating your skin to produce more collagen. Returning for a few touch-up sessions will encourage the body to regenerate collagen; thus, it allows an improvement in the results while maintaining the youthfulness of your face.

Liquid Facelift in New Jersey

One thing that can decrease the effectiveness of most dermal fillers is exaggerated muscle movement. But since Botox can temporarily paralyze facial muscles, dermal fillers can be more effective in diminishing the wrinkles and fine lines on the face. As a result, you enjoy facial rejuvenation and get a more youthful appearance.

If you are interested in turning back the clock without going under the knife, consider getting a liquid facelift. Get in touch with us here at Weinstein Plastic Surgery by calling 908-879-2222 or filling out this online contact form and learn more about the wonders of liquid facelift.
