How it's done

Targeted injections are administered (often around forehead, brows, eyes or other areas) — treatment time about 10–20 minutes. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

What it treats

Typical uses include horizontal forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s‑feet, bunny lines, downturned corners of the mouth, neck bands, and other dynamic wrinkles. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Dermal Fillers

What it is

Dermal fillers use hyaluronic‑acid-based gels to restore volume, enhance contours and smooth deeper lines instantly. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

How it's done

The filler gel is injected into targeted areas such as cheeks, lips, jawline or under‑eyes for volumizing, contouring or rejuvenation. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Why people choose it

For immediate volume, enhanced facial contours, subtle but noticeable rejuvenation — without the invasiveness of surgery. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Results & Duration

Results are visible right after treatment. Duration depends on area treated and individual factors; typical fillers at clinics like Avané offer effects that can last several months to over a year depending on lifestyle and area treated. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

Polynucleotides (Skin Booster)

What it is

This treatment uses polynucleotide-based skin boosters (like “FillArt”) derived from salmon‑sperm DNA — aimed at deep skin regeneration, improving elasticity, hydration and overall skin health rather than instant volumizing. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}

How it works

Injected into the dermis, polynucleotides stimulate collagen production, promote skin repair, improve hydration and elasticity, and gradually enhance skin quality over several weeks. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}

What it targets

Useful for skin rejuvenation in delicate areas — under‑eyes (fine lines & thinning), neck & décolletage (tightening), hands (elasticity and volume), post‑laser recovery, and general skin quality improvement. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}

Course & Maintenance

Often requires a series of treatments (e.g. 3–4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart) for best results. Maintenance may be recommended every 6–12 months depending on skin condition and lifestyle. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}

Acne, the number one reason people see a dermatologist, occurs in most teenagers and may continue into adulthood. Whiteheads, blackheads, and other acne lesions are due to clogged pores. Bacteria are often involved, leading to redness, inflammation, and the formation of nodules or cysts, which can lead to scars. Advanced Dermatology offers a wide array of treatments and products to improve acne prone skin, including oral and topical prescription medications, laser/light procedures, and facials.

Topical acne medications are applied to the skin to treat mild acne. These treatments contain antibiotics that destroy or inhibit bacterial growth or agents that accelerate skin renewal, helping to reduce acne. For more persistent cases, oral medications such as antibiotics, hormone therapy, and isotretinoin (Accutane) can be prescribed. These medications, taken daily for a specific period, help improve current breakouts and prevent future flare-ups. People often see a dermatologist when dealing with severe or scarring acne that doesn't respond to other treatments. In such cases, isotretinoin is a common option, typically requiring a 4 to 5-month treatment cycle, with about 75% of patients experiencing significant clearing after completion. Hormonal treatments, including certain oral contraceptives, spironolactone, and hormone replacement therapy, are reserved for women experiencing hormonal acne flares. If you're struggling with acne and unsure of the best treatment, it's essential to see a dermatologist for expert guidance.

People who see a dermatologist for acne often seek alternatives to medications, and laser/light treatments can be an effective option. These procedures use light to kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and clear clogged pores, making them suitable for individuals who are dissatisfied with traditional acne treatments. At Avané Clinic, our advanced laser and light-based procedures can be used alone or in combination with prescription medications to achieve optimal results. If you're struggling with persistent acne, see a dermatologist to explore whether laser or light therapy is right for you.

Our newest acne laser treatment, can provide a safe, quick, and effective treatment to clear up acne. Without touching the skin, p. acnes bacteria is heated up in the sebaceous gland and surrounding tissue to kill the bacteria which produces acne flare ups. A reduction in swelling and inflammation results in immediate relief of acne discomfort such as pain and pressure in acne lesions. This acne treatment procedure requires no anesthesia and there may be minimal pain and downtime. We recommend 3 to 6 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart.

The combination of our treatments not only treats the diseased skin cells or glands, it also makes the skin healthier, smooth, and clear, possibly even preventing skin cancer.

Lastly, Our Advanced Dermatology offers many facial and peel acne treatment options. The SilkPeel™ Dermal- Infusion System is a water-based microdermabrasion that includes an infusion of serums that can be tailored to acne therapy to clear pores. Acne facials and/or acne chemical peels are also helpful adjuncts for acne treatment.
