Since its inception in 2002, Infinity Skin Care and Spa has become this area's ultimate skin care destination for patients of all ages. Every member of our staff strives to offer Infinity patients the latest and most effective treatments for skin health and maintenance, in addition to treatments which combat and reverse the signs of aging: wrinkles, sun damage and skin laxity. Dr. Schulz is always actively researching and testing new products and services to bring to Infinity Skin Care and Spa patients.
Through regularly scheduled skin care seminars presented by Dr. Schulz and one-on-one skin care consultations, we continue to spread our message about ongoing "skin fitness". Maintaining healthy skin and a youthful appearance requires a lifelong commitment, just like staying in shape requires regular exercise and a balanced diet. And, never underestimate the power of daily antioxidant and sunscreen application! At Infinity, it is our goal to help our clients and patients take the very best care of their skin so that it shows!
Through the use of today's most advanced, non-invasive treatments and physician-approved skin care products, our patients will receive the highest level of professional skin care available anywhere. And yes, even men need to take care of their skin through a sun-smart lifestyle, proper moisturizing, and when it's time, Botox®, fillers and non-surgical services to help them maintain their youthful appearance!
Patients often ask what procedures are best at various ages. While there are significant differences between individual patients, there are definitely trends to consider for each of these all important age milestones.

Sun avoidance, sunscreen, antioxidants and Botox! Botox you ask? Absolutely! Wrinkles and creases form from repeated facial expression such as scowling and smiling. Botox prevents the wrinkles from forming. Proper cleansing with a skin care tool such as a Clarisonic MD and/or a series of treatments such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion increase exfoliation which helps microdermabrasion increase exfoliation which helps to prevent wrinkles and unwanted pigmentation and brown spots. These should be done regularly at all ages to prevent and maintain.
In addition to the preventative steps above, those nearing or over 40 should consider injection of fillers to maintain their facial fullness and contours, especially in the cheeks, smile lines, lip borders and marionette lines. By using Botox and fillers, 40 something's can maintain the full, wrinkle free appearance of their youth without surgery and no one will be the wiser since these procedures can be performed with small amounts of filler and no downtime.
40 something's also are good candidates for Thermage to maintain skin firmness and tautness anywhere on the body. Depending on the individual, IPL to remove age spots and or facial blood vessels should be considered now. At forty, Fraxel resurfacing laser can be performed to freshen the complexion and maintain a smooth, spot free, wrinkle free complexion. While Fraxel laser is typically done in a series of four or more monthly treatments, those patients who just want to maintain their complexion with smooth, youthful skin often opt to have sporadic treatments once or twice a year as a maintenance program.For those patients who have not prevented or maintained in their 30's and 40's, it's time for rejuvenation! Here is where multiple procedures add up to a big bang! This includes a little Botox, larger volumes of filler (known as VolumaLift), a series of IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments for any facial vessels, Thermage for skin laxity and Fraxel for skin resurfacing. For those who haven't prevented or maintained, Fraxel can undo many skin concerns such as wrinkles, brown spots, melasma, and rough texture including precancers known as actinic keratoses! (Fraxel is now FDA approved specifically for actinic keratoses although it is not covered by insurance for this purpose).

Brown spots. They come in all shapes and sizes. But, no matter how many or where, they signal aging, damaged skin. So, if you're one of the millions of Americans with brown spots, where do you start? Do you have just a few? Make an appointment with the physicians at Town Square Dermatology. If you have a few large spots, they need to be evaluated to be certain that they aren't malignant before they are treated. Your physician can then treat all benign brown spots with cryotherapy, a treatment that uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the spot and allow it to peel off in about a week. One treatment is usually all that is required although a second treatment is sometimes necessary.
Do you have many small spots? Schedule a "photofacial"at Infinity! This is an IPL (intense pulsed light) procedure that treats both brown spots and vessels on any sun exposed skin surface. Four treatments approximately every 2-4 weeks will dramatically lighten and remove brown spots.
Do you have spots and wrinkles? Schedule a series of four Fraxel treatments to completely rejuvenate your upper layers of skin. Fraxel will give you the even complexion you've been hoping for while buffing out fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars!
Maintain your results with daily sunscreen use and regular chemical peels or microdermabrasion. By increasing the cellular turnover of your skin you'll dramatically decrease the accumulation of pigment in your skin. These non-invasive treatments will keep your skin luminous and smooth!
