Glowing skin can give you the appearance of being healthy and lend a more youthful look to your countenance. As skin ages, however, collagen production slows and your skin can take on a ruddy appearance. Exposure to the sun throughout your lifetime can give the skin a rough texture that detracts from your natural beauty.

Addressing these problems with cosmetic dermatology can be a simple and effective way to restore your skin's youthful glow. You have many procedures available to correct skin problems, but one of the most versatile cosmetic dermatology procedures practiced today is intense pulsed light (IPL) photorejuvenation.

IPL photorejuvenation can offer some unique benefits when improving the tone and texture of aging or sun-damaged skin. Learn more about IPL photorejuvenation and the improvement it brings to your skin.

Thin lips can be a result of simple genetics. Your lips also naturally thin as you age as they lose collagen and natural fat, resulting in longer, less-defined lips than you'd like. If you want a perkier, fuller pout, you may wonder if lip augmentation will work well for you.

Permalip is a type of permanent implant that is placed in the lip tissue (similar to the way a breast implant works) to give the recipient a fuller, more youthful smile. It is a permanent solution and can be semi-customized as the soft silicone implant comes in varying sizes. The implants also do not rupture or leak, giving you peace of mind that you are selecting a cosmetic solution that will last.

Before choosing a plastic surgeon  and imagining your pucker thick and full, you first need to make sure you are a candidate for lip enhancement.
