Keeping Your Skin Looking Forever Young

With Nadia A. Kazim, M.D., F.A.C.S. –

Many of us still are searching for the Fountain of Youth. We go to all extremes to look younger.
Plastic surgeons and other skincare specialists now recognize that the loss of facial volume is one of the key factors in early signs of aging, rather than just treating wrinkles. Men and women in their 40s and 50s are seeking to restore a more youthful look. They are becoming less likely to get cosmetic surgery and opting instead for injectable treatments.

If you have considered facial plastic surgery whether to change the shape and contour of your face or rejuvenate your face by removing lines and wrinkles Dr. Kazim can help you reach your cosmetic goals. She specializes in eyelid and facial plastic surgery. She is a board certified ophthalmologist.

Botox®
Botox® is a popular, non-surgical in-office cosmetic treatment for facial rejuvenation. Years of squinting, concentrating or frowning can cause your skin to wrinkle. As your skin becomes less elastic over time, these wrinkles can become more permanent. Botox® is used to relax these muscles and give a more youthful, natural appearance.

Obagi® Products
Obagi® products are designed to minimize the appearance of premature skin aging, skin damage, hyper pigmentation, acne, and sun damaged skin. All ages. All skin types. There’s an Obagi® product for everyone. Dr. Kazim uses Obagi® products as a conditioning and enhancing system to the road for healthier skin.

JUVEDERM® Facial Fillers

Make this the year for healthy beautiful and glowing skin. Every year as the calendar turns from the old year to the new, many of us make a clean slate resolution to start living a healthier life. We resolve to take better care of our weight, exercise regularly, get into better shape, and make better choices with the foods we eat. How many of you have also resolved to take better care of your skin? Your complexion is the face you meet and greet the world with. Healthy skin matters to you, not just because living inside healthy skin feels better, but because you can’t always hide your skin problems.
