Alas, as we age, our skin grows tired. Its two main proteins—collagen, which gives skin its “plumpness,” and elastin, which enables skin to “snap back” into shape after, say, flexing for a smile—begin to degrade. Our oil glands also become less active, leaving our skin looking dry and tired. Part of this degradation is a natural outcome of the aging process. But another part—a big part—is our own doing. You may have spent too much time in the sun, unprotected. Or perhaps you smoked. Both habits speed up the breakdown of collagen and elastin.
Today, thanks to the development of a wide variety of new, highly effective procedures and technologies, skin can be rejuvenated. You’ll never have the skin of a 20-year-old again, but your skin can look smoother, more vibrant—in other words, healthier. Many of these treatments, which include laser therapies, phototherapy, radiofrequency therapies, and dermal fillers, are non-invasive. Some can even be done over your lunch hour. So call a physician today and schedule a personal skin evaluation. Have a detailed conversation with him or her about your skin and its needs. It’s never too late to rejuvenate your skin—and reenergize your life.

Dr. Derick is wonderful. My daughter has severe eczema and I went to Dr. Derick after numerous dissapointing, unsuccesful visits to her pediatrican (& others), and a bad flare up of my daughters eczema. We arrived to a very clean, impressive office, with very polite and professional staff. We were taken into a room where a nurse evaluated my daughter. It did take a while for Dr. Derick to finally get to our room, but once she came in, I was very pleased with the outcome. She was very detailed in her explanation of eczema, and explained more about it than any other doctor had that I met with. She diagnosed my daughter (confirming eczema), and suggested ways in which I could reduce the eczema. Again, at the time of my visit, my daughter had a severe flare up and we didn't know what to do anymore...we were at our wit's end. She gave us a few Rx's, gave us very detailed instructions & "tricks", and by the next day, my daughter's flare up was significantly decreased. I am so pleased with her, and when necessary, I will continue to go back.
