Even if you limit your sun exposure and keep a strict skin care regimen, it won't prevent your skin from wrinkling and sagging as you age. Over time, skin loses some of its elasticity and structure, leaving it vulnerable to the effects of gravity.

If you've ever wished there was a way to tighten and lift loose, saggy skin without surgery, board certified dermatologist Dr. Marilyn Kwolek has the ideal solution: PDO thread lifts, also known as "lunchtime lifts."From her state-of-the-art office in Danville, California, she offers minimally-invasive, non-surgical PDO thread lifts to patients in the Contra Costa area.

But that doesn't mean you want your skin to actually look older than you feel. From her renowned dermatology and cosmetic practice in the town of Danville, California, board certified dermatologist Dr. Marilyn Kwolek offers Botox(R) injections to help patients from the Contra Costa community reduces the appearance of wrinkles and keep their skin looking fresh.

It's estimated that about one third of all Americans have at least one varicose vein, or an enlarged, bulging vein that's visible just beneath the surface of the skin. Although any vein can be affected, the veins in your legs and feet are more likely to become varicose because they typically work against gravity to send blood back to your heart.

You can't control where your body chooses to store extra fat, but genetics do have an influence. If you're prone to developing extra fat under your chin whenever you gain weight, you probably have a relative or two who also deal with the same issue.

Because such pockets of fat are usually resistant to diet and exercise, Dr. Marilyn Kwolek, a top-ranked dermatologist in Danville, California, offers Kybella(R) neck lift injections, an advanced treatment designed to erase fat under the chin for good.Kybella is both a prescription medicine and an FDA-approved injectable treatment used to reduce submental fullness, or the area of excess fat that's sometimes called a double chin.

If your skin looks older than your years, you may be experiencing the effects of photoaging, or the premature aging of skin cells resulting from repeated exposure to ultraviolet light. Even though the fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and leathery texture caused by sun damage aren't exactly reversible, there are things you can do to fade their appearance.
