Wrinkles
Treatment of Wrinkles by Dermatologist in Mountain View
It may be a gradual dawning, or it may be a sudden jolt, but there comes a day when the person you see reflected back in the mirror has grown older and the wrinkles become more and more noticeable. When this happens, it’s time to reach out to Dr. Jean Gordon and her Mountain View dermatology practice!
The good news is that medical science has developed multiple ways of rejuvenating the skin of the face, neck, chest and other areas of the body, without surgery.
Botox®
Over time, your facial expressions cause lines to form on your face. Erase these marks with a few tiny injections of Botox ® Cosmetic.* Forehead lines, frown lines, crows feet disappear within a few days.* Even upper lip lines and sagging corners of the mouth can be treated.* Results can last for several months.* Learn More!
Used together with fillers such as Cosmoderm, Restylane, Juvederm, and Radiesse, results are even more dramatic!*
Cosmoderm®
Found in the dermal layer of the skin, this naturally occurring substance can be injected into fine and deep lines. Great for lip enhancement too!*
Restylane®
Also found in the dermis, this form of hyaluronic acid is used for deeper lines and defects.* The most common areas are nasolabial folds ( from the nose to the mouth), marionette lines (corners of the mouth) and frown lines.
Juverderm®
Another form of hyaluronic acid, this new filler can be used for nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and lip enhancement.*
Radiesse®
Radiesse is the thickest of the fillers with duration over several months, its calcium hydroxylapatite microspspheres form a scaffold thru which your own collagen grows.* This is the ideal choice for facial contouring – at last, a non-surgical facelift!*
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are topically applied acids that create a uniform and controlled shedding of skin layers.* Depending on the type and strength of acid, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots and sun damage can be obliterated.*

Laser Resurfacing
The tried and true CO2 laser gives the deepest and longest lasting results.* Wrinkles are treated and texture and tone are dramatically improved.* Although done under general or local anesthesia with healing over several days, results are worth it!*
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion refers to the superficial sanding of the skin, which results in exfoliation of thickened epidermis and a softer, more even skin texture and tone.* The use of microdermabrasion began in Europe in the 1980’s and involves the use of tiny particles blown against the surface of the skin and vacuumed away, removing the superficial layers of skin to expose the fresher, healthier skin below.*

Micro-Needling
Micro-Needling is a procedure that makes tiny controlled punctures or channels in the skin with virtually no discomfort or down-time. These micro-wounds trigger the skin to produce new collagen and elastin resulting in an amazing improvement of wrinkles, stretch marks and acne scars!* With topical application of hyaluronic acid, special growth factor extracts or PRP, even more improvement is seen.*
