All About Hand Rejuvenation



Did you know that if your hands look old, appear to have too many veins, or are discolored, we can make them look a lot better? There are, in fact, a number of ways we can improve the look of your hands. First, we can add volume to the hand. We prefer to do this by using your own fat, which requires taking fat from another part of your body where you would rather not have any fat. We then inject the hands with small amounts of this fat and massage it around the backs of the hands. Typically, the hand is also treated with a fractionated CO2 laser, to remove brown spots and age signs. This treatment results in a plumper, healthier-looking back of the hand with less aging signs.

Other filler products such as Juvederm and Perlane can also be used for hand improvement. These products are natural body substances that are retained in the hands for many months, and plump the backs of the hands in a way that makes them look much younger. Your natural fat, however, can be retained almost indefinitely.

Have You Heard About Dr. Yoho's New Skin Care Line?


Dr. Yoho has a special skin care line formulated just for his patients.

Our glycolic peel pads, which exfoliate dead skin cells while removing excess oil and impurities from the skin, are pretty strong, and so should be used with care. If you scrub your skin with these, you can get some redness which can last even up to a few days. So we recommend using these, at most, once a week, and only if you have oily skin.

We also have a night cream which has some ingredients that are among the most popular in the cosmeceutical industry. It's not greasy and shouldn't cause acne.

Our day cream contains Idebenone, which is in some of Perricone's products that cost $300 or more per bottle. All of our skin care is packaged in a attractive glassine container that handsomely showcases the modern creams.
