SKIN CONCERNS
FINE LINES & WRINKLES
Fine lines and wrinkles are small creases that appear on our skin as we get older. They develop mainly because our bodies produce less collagen, a special protein that keeps our skin firm and smooth. Over time, factors like aging, sun exposure, and environmental damage can worsen these lines. Sun damage can break down collagen, making fine lines more noticeable.
Dynamic lines and static lines are two types of wrinkles that can appear on our skin. Dynamic lines are the creases that show up when we move our face, like when we smile or frown. These lines can become deeper over time because of repeated movements.
On the other hand, static lines are the wrinkles that are visible even when our face is relaxed. They often develop as our skin loses elasticity and collagen with age.
At Dr. Chao's cosmetic clinic, Dr. Chao offers treatments to help reduce the appearance of these common signs of aging - addressing both dynamic and static lines - to restore a smoother, youthful look to your skin.

SKIN LAXITY & TIGHTENING
As we age, our skin naturally goes through several changes. The production of collagen and elastin slows down, which are crucial for maintaining skin structure and elasticity. This reduction can lead to skin laxity, where the skin appears loose and less firm. Additionally, factors like sun damage, smoking, and poor nutrition can accelerate this process, causing our skin to lose its youthful appearance more quickly.
Skin laxity can affect various areas of the body, including the face, jawline, neck, and arms, making it a common concern for many people.
Non-invasive treatments for tightening the skin can stimulate collagen production and encourage skin tightening without the need for surgery.
At his cosmetic clinic, Dr. Chao offers treatments to help reduce skin laxity and restore a more youthful appearance, making sure you feel confident in your skin.

ACNE SCARS & SKIN TEXTURE
As we age or experience skin conditions like acne, scars and changes in skin texture can develop. Skin conditions like acne can further affect the skin's surface. When a pimple forms, the skin gets damaged, and as it heals, the body creates scar tissue to repair the area. This healing process can leave behind marks, bumps, or indentations, which are commonly known as acne scars. The severity of scarring depends on how deep the acne was, the healing process, and how the skin reacts.
Additionally, other factors like sun exposure, genetics, and lifestyle can contribute to changes in skin texture and tone over time. Over time, the skin's natural texture can also change due to the loss of collagen and elastin, which help keep the skin smooth and firm. These changes are a normal part of aging but can sometimes lead to uneven skin, wrinkles, or bumps. While these changes are a natural part of life, they don’t have to be permanent.
At his cosmetic clinic, Dr. Chao offers treatments to rejuvenate your skin and to boost your confidence.
There are numerous treatments for this condition.

SKIN HYDRATION
As we age, the skin’s ability to hold onto moisture reduces, leading to dryness and a loss of elasticity. This is because the skin’s outer layer also becomes thinner over time and the production of oils that keep the skin hydrated reduces. When the skin lacks moisture, it can become flaky, tight, and develop fine lines. The loss of collagen, which gives the skin structure, also makes it less firm and more prone to sagging. In addition, the sun’s UV rays, pollution, and other environmental factors can speed up this process, making skin even drier and more prone to wrinkles.
"Crepey skin" is often a result of both reduced moisture and loss of collagen, leading to the delicate, paper-like texture. You might notice this most on areas like the under-eye area, cheeks, arms, or neck, where the skin is thinner.
o combat this, it's important to replenish moisture regularly, use products that support collagen, and protect the skin from further damage.
At his cosmetic clinic, Dr. Chao offers treatments to boost hydration, stimulate collagen production, and restore smoother, firmer skin.

OVERGROWN SCARS
Keloid scars are thick, raised scars that grow bigger than the original wound. They can appear after cuts, burns, or even piercings. While some individuals may choose to leave keloid scars alone, keloids can cause pain and be tender and itchy and may continue to grow so treatment is available. Treatment helps to reduce the size of the keloid and to flatten the scar, making them less inflamed and less painful and itchy.
Generally, the most effective treatment for these scars is injecting them with a steroid, which Dr. Chao provides at his cosmetic clinic.
If you’ve had a scar that keeps growing, feels itchy, or looks raised — it might be a keloid. Dr. Chao offers gentle, in-office treatments to reduce discomfort and flatten these scars.
