Obagi:
The Obagi - Nu Derm System is a daily skin care regime that can benefit your skin as follows:

  • Diminish fine lines & wrinkles
  • Smoother skin
  • Reduce pore size
  • Improve elasticity 
  • An even skin tone
  • Bring oil production to normal levels
  • Reduce age spots and hyperpigmentation
  • Increase natural moisture
  • Resist environmental effects

The Obagi System, under the direction of Dr. Yaker and his staff can restore the natural glow and elasticity of healthy skin.

The Obagi - Blue Peel is an a quick, relatively simple and highly tolerable procedure that in most cases can improve:

  • Blemishes
  • Acne scars
  • Wrinkles
  • Sun damage
  • Uneven pigmentation

Depending on how many layers of the peel you receive, the peel can last anywhere form 20 minutes to an hour. After the peel you will have some light swelling, and in 2-3 days your skin will begin to peel. The peeling will continue over a few days and should be completely healed in 7-10 days. Patients must pre-treat their skin with the Obagi-Nu Derm system for 6 weeks prior to having the Blue Peel.

M D Forte:
The M.D. Forte system is a skin care regimen to help minimize the appearance of skin imperfections. Results have proven its safety and effectiveness to help shed dry, damaged cells and unclog pores. It works quickly to moisturize, exfoliate, and reveal younger-looking skin.
M.D. Forte works by gently peeling away the outer layers of dry, sun-damaged skin, exposing younger-looking skin. Because it is available in two different concentrations and is fast acting, it requires professional supervision.

    To enhance and accelerate the results achieved with M.D. Forte home care products, ask our staff about this exciting program.

Tretinoin (Retin-A) and alpha-hydroxy acids: 
Sloughs off dead skin, regenerates collagen and allows the cells of the top layer of the skin to mature normally. Alpha-hydroxy acids sloughs off dead skin and thicken the underlying skin cells. Retin-A is most effective in patients who have fine facial wrinkles or sun-damaged areas that are blotchy or pigmented. Facial wrinkling, skin tone and texture may be improved by a Retin-A regimen.

Alloderm: 
This is a long-lasting and sometimes permanent solution for folds in the skin. Also used for Lip Augmentation, Alloderm is a sheet of human collagen fabric prepared from a graft of skin with no remaining living cells.

Botox: 
A small injection given to the site where a strong muscle creates a wrinkle or furrow. The injection weakens or relaxes the muscle. It is very effective in reducing the appearance of forehead furrows, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crows feet. Botox injections take effect in three to five days, and last up to six months. Some current evidence suggests that repeated injections may lead to longer lasting results.

Collagen injections: 
Collagen replacement therapy replenishes the skin’s natural collagen support layer, smoothing facial lines. It is also injected to enhance the lips as well. The effects of Collagen are generally absorbed by your body and usually requires several touch up injections a year.

Glycolic Acid Treatments: 
Also known as “fruity acid” treatments can help produce smoother skin for all skin types. This treatment can also fade sun spots. Glycolic Acid may be applied through a cream as a cleansing facial wash. This is usually a home regime, often combined with a higher strength Glycolic peel performed in the office.
