Facial fillers may be injected into different areas of the face to increase volume, soften lines and provide a more youthful appearance. Injectable fillers are clear gels comprised of hyaluronic acid – a natural component found in the skin. At Baltimore Eye Physcians, we offer JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC, JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC and BELOTERO BALANCE®. As we age, this compound’s distribution and function changes, resulting in deeper facial lines and a decrease in the volume of the face. Facial fillers may be injected into areas such as the lips, marionette lines at the ends of the mouth, nasolabial folds (lines from the bottom of the nose to the corners of the mouth), and cheeks. A facial filler appointment usually takes 45 minutes, including consultation, topical numbing cream and injection. Effects can be seen immediately and can last up to a year.
Utilizing specific wavelengths to target various chromophores in the skin enables effective treatment of a variety of conditions, including vascular lesions, skin photoaging treatments and hair removal.
Broad spectrum pulsed light is transmitted through a continuously cooled applicator, gently placed over the skin. Cut-off filters in the handpiece change the range of wavelengths, optimizing it for different applications and skin types. The light penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by either the relevant chromophores and damages them (blood chromophores when treating vascular lesions and melanin chromophores when treating pigmented lesions). The body’s natural processes then clear the lesion debris, giving the skin a more even and youthful appearance.
Whether mild, moderate, or severe, dry eye syndrome can be disabling. Feelings of “heavy” eyes, difficulty keeping the eyes open, and watery eyes are all common symptoms. Burning, stinging sensations while reading, or vision that becomes blurry while doing visual tasks are also symptoms related to dry eye syndrome. “Get the red out” eye drops should never be used for dry eye, as they can make things worse. Artificial tears can work temporarily to alleviate dry symptoms. A structured approach with a treatment tailored to an individual’s specific type of dry eye syndrome is the most effective means of therapy. Baltimore Eye Physicians has its own Dry Eye Clinic specifically designed to accurately diagnose and treat this prevalent condition.
Photorejuvenation uses lasers, intense pulsed light, or photodynamic therapy to treat skin conditions and effects of photoaging such as wrinkles, spots, and textures.
