SILKPEEL ANNOUNCES NEW RESEARCH FINDINGS


Last month, Envy Medical, makers of SILKPEEL, announced findings from their study that regular dermalinfusion can leave skin up to 70% plumper.

This plus the well-known benefits of exfoliation, pore cleansing, moisture infusion, and improvements for pigment, sun damage and acne makes SILKPEEL a super investment in younger skin. If you haven’t done this is a while, sign up. We often bundle it with other procedures too, so watch the eblasts each month.

NEW PRODUCTS WITH PROMISING RESULTS


We are happy to introduce two effective body preparations this Spring from Environ, an exciting company from South Africa.

These are Vitamin AC&E Body Oil and Derma-Lax Lotion. Mature patients are often shy to bare their arms and bodies due to skin that looks crepey, lax, rough and discolored. We can address these issues with office procedures of course, but home treatments help immensely. Keep in mond that repair takes time. The before-and-after here took 8 months but considering the severity of the damage, this is outstanding. TIP: Be sure to protect your new skin with generous amounts of sunscreen daily.

GOT SKIN TAGS? LET US REMOVE THEM SAFELY...


Skin tags are a type of harmless skin growth, seen around the neck, waist, upper chest, under arms, and in the folds of the groin and thighs.

They are generally not cancerous and they are not contagious. S o why remove them? Because they may your skin look older. Also, removal prevents trauma...if they are gone they can’t get snagged by clothing, jewelry, pets, seat belts, etc. and bleed on your clothes. The 3 best ways to remove them are: freezing, cautery or scissors/scalpel. Small tags are removed easily and comfortably but depending on patient preference, anesthesia can be used. Don’t waste your time on creams and home remedies. Get skin tags checked and removed once a year for best appearance and peace of mind. Just circle them with a felt-tip pen at home when you get out of the shower and let us take a look. If you’d like to remove skin tags at a previously scheduled appointment, let Alison know so she can leave us enough time. Since removal is a self-pay (insurances don’t cover it), we will remove them as efficiently as possible for you.

BOTOX IS BETTER THAN EVER.


It’s the ultimate multi-tasker for prettier faces.

Ask us to examine your face at your next appointment. If you’ve been using the minimum, 40 units per session, adding as little as 10 more can make a big difference in your overall appearance.

PEELS ARE MAKING A BIG COMEBACK...


Our patients are loving peels again.

For most of you, it’s been a while since you had a peel so it’s the perfect time to get reacquainted with them. The best regimen is often to do a series of them, perhaps one every 3 to 4 months. Peels compare favorable to lasers for results on mild to moderate damage from age and sun, often with less downtime and risk. Their convenience and adjustability have brought them to the foreground in cosmetic dermatology once again, which is why physician organizations that focus solely on the merits of peels are emerging nationwide. For 40+ patients with crow’s feet, fine lines, dullness, splotchiness and sun-related damage, peels are great. Busy patients may find the hiding period for laser resurfacing hard to fit in. So, opt for a series of peels instead, with little or no hiding. A mild intervention can stave off having to do a bigger repair. So the question is WHEN WAS YOUR LAST PEEL?
