The Skin Prescription
By Stephanie Bennett
Back in the day when ignorance was bliss, we could tan to our heart’s desire. Fast-forward a decade and suddenly every freckle and fine line represent those hours in the sun. Enter Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Babak Azizzadeh, a renowned specialist in facial rejuvenation.

Dr. Azizzadeh doesn’t believe in the superficial lasers that leave skin red and raw for weeks after a treatment. Rather, he uncovered the new Palomar Fractional Skin Resurfacing - a sun worshipper’s best bet for erasing all the telltale signs.
The Palomar Lux1540 Fractional™ Laser is the latest generation in laser skin resurfacing technology and Dr. Azizzadeh declares it’s one of a few non-surgical treatments that truly rejuvenate the skin. Palomar™ is used to improve skin color, texture, tone, fine lines and wrinkles.

After the initial consultation to determine skin’s specific needs, Dr. Azizzadeh uses the Palomar™ laser to zero in on repairing the damaged tissue. The laser’s microbeams penetrate to reach the deeper levels of damaged skin and trigger a natural healing process that generates collagen and new, healthy tissue.
Palomar™ is great for those who don’t have a high tolerance for pain because it only stings momentarily. The Palomar™ procedure requires 3-4 one-hour sessions, with a 2-4 week span between each treatment. There is minimal recovery time (about 2 days of looking like you got sunburned) because it treats beneath the surface of the skin. By the end of the 2 months, skin looks more youthful and radiant.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to put their best face forward and it’s a great way to indulge moms. This Mother’s Day, give her the gift of youthful radiance and renewed confidence. With such a quick recover, she’ll definitely thank you for it - and sooner rather than later.
