HydraFacial

by

About Hydrafacial

What is it?

Ideal for making your skin smoother and softer regardless of age, the HydraFacial removes impurities like dead skin cells with innovative 4-step technology: 1) Vortex cleansing, which deep-cleans pores, 2) HydroPeel exfoliation, which gently resurfaces the skin, 3) Vortex extraction, which painlessly removes blackheads and whiteheads, and 4) Vortex fusion, which hydrates skin and improves tone. The HydraFacial is designed to be safe and effective for all skin types and colors.

What to expect

The soothing effects of the HydraFacial last longer than those of a regular facial. Additionally, this treatment is painless, non-irritating, and requires no downtime. The 4-in-1 technology of HydraFacial is ideal for minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, repairing sun damage, removing acne, cleaning oily skin, irrigating clogged pores, shrinking enlarged pores, balancing uneven skin tone, hydrating dry skin, and tightening lax skin.

After the procedure

When you receive a refreshing HydraFacial, you’ll see improvement as soon as you leave the office. The results of a single treatment can last a week, and when combined with an IPL or chemical peel, the effects can last even longer. To maintain consistent results, we recommend monthly treatments, which will help keep your skin looking fresh and beautiful.

Our approach & expertise

As dermatologists, we know that dull, dry facial skin can have an adverse effect on your appearance and self-esteem. That’s why we’re proud to offer HydraFacial facial rejuvenation therapy to safely and effectively refresh your skin and your appearance.

Chemical Peel

by

About Chemical Peel

What is it?

A chemical peel is a procedure in which a solution is applied to the top layer of your skin to remove dead, flaky skin cells. This allows the fresh, new layer of skin underneath to develop and grow, leaving you with a radiant and brightened complexion. There are three types of peels, each characterized by how deep they penetrate, which depends on the type and strength of the solution. These include superficial peels, which penetrate only as far as the outermost layer of the skin (epidermis), medium peels, which treat the top layer of the dermis (not to be confused with the epidermis), and deep peels, which treat the bottom layer of the dermis. Chemical peels offer numerous benefits, some of which include the following: erasure of fine lines and wrinkles, reduction of age/sun spots, smoothing of rough skin texture, faded shallow scars (including those from acne), improved skin tone, and balanced pigmentation.

What to expect

Chemical peels are safe for a variety of skin colors, although the lighter the skin, the more effective the treatment will be. To get the results you want, talk to the specialists at our dermatology center, as we’ll help you decide which type of peel is best and tailor the treatment to fit your specific needs.

After the procedure

Downtime and side effects will vary depending on the type of peel you undergo. For example, a superficial peel has no downtime, with only redness and minimal peeling for side effects. A medium peel typically requires 2-3 days of recovery, and common side effects include swelling, redness, and peeling for 4-7 days after the procedure. Finally, a deep peel can entail 1-2 weeks of downtime, more pronounced redness, and swelling for 7-10 days–perhaps longer. Regardless of which type of peel you undergo, you can expect smoother, fresher-looking, and radiant skin once the results are finalized.

Our approach & expertise

We know that a dull complexion and rough facial skin texture can negatively affect your appearance and make you self-conscious, which is why our skin specialists provide chemical peel treatments to help improve your complexion and refresh your appearance. Our compassionate practitioners are skilled and experienced at performing chemical peels to get the results you want, and we are also here to address your concerns and questions throughout the entire process.

Microneedling

by

About Microneedling

What is it?

A concept that’s been around for nearly 50 years, microneedling is a dermatology treatment that uses ultrafine needles to promote the body’s natural collagen production, resulting in tighter, smoother skin. The process works by creating minuscule wounds in your skin, which causes the body’s self-healing mechanism to engage. The end result is skin that looks healthier and more attractive. The microneedling device also gently targets radiofrequency energy into your skin, which helps to repair and hydrate the tissue.

What to expect

The controlled wounds caused by microneedling are not noticeable, even when viewed close-up. However, you may look flushed for a short time. One session lasts 20-30 minutes, and since it’s non-surgical and virtually painless, there’s no downtime associated with the procedure. Microneedling is ideal for even the most delicate areas of the face, including the cheeks, upper and lower eyelids, the sides of your nose, and the upper lip. Because it stimulates both the growth of collagen and the production of hyaluronic acid, this treatment is effective for a variety of issues, including rough and/or lax skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and even scars. The procedure is safe and effective for all skin types and colors, and it results in a rejuvenated, radiant appearance. The improvements look natural and regular touch-ups can prolong the effects.

Common treatments

Depending on your aesthetic goals and the extent of your skin condition, you may need 3-5 microneedling treatment sessions to get optimal results. Side effects are minimal and include redness, swelling, bruising, and/or tenderness for 5-7 days.

Our approach & expertise

We know that you may be seeking an effective, minimally-invasive way to reduce the effects of aging, and microneedling is just one of the many treatment options to improve your skin and rejuvenate your appearance. Our specialists are skilled at performing gentle, minimally-invasive microneedling procedures, but what sets us apart from others is our compassion and focus on you as a person. Our practitioners will tailor treatments to suit your unique needs while also addressing any concerns you may have.

Microdermabrasion

by

About Microdermabrasion

What is it?

Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive treatment that gently removes the thicker, damaged top layer of skin. Once the dead skin cells are removed, they are then vacuumed so that new skin cells can grow. This treatment also stimulates your body’s natural production of collagen, leaving your skin smoother and tighter. Microdermabrasion is great for a variety of skin-dulling issues, including sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, enlarged pores, light scarring, skin discoloration, stretch marks, clogged pores, and poor skin texture.

What to expect

Microdermabrasion sessions are quick and convenient, usually lasting about 30 minutes, giving it the nickname the “lunchtime facial.” Since this is a minimally-invasive procedure, there’s no surgery involved and it’s virtually painless, allowing you to get right back to your daily schedule. Microdermabrasion is safe for all skin colors and types, and it often delivers dramatic changes after a single session. By exfoliating your skin and allowing a new layer of skin to emerge, your skin will look radiant and refreshed.

After the procedure

Results are natural-looking and long-lasting, but it usually takes 5-8 sessions to see optimal results. Side effects include swelling, redness, tenderness, and/or bruising for 5-7 days. Special skin moisturizers can speed up healing, and our dermatology experts recommend frequent sunscreen applications in the days following the procedure.

Our approach & expertise

We know that dull or unhealthy skin can negatively impact your appearance and self-esteem. Our skin experts provide treatment options to help rejuvenate your appearance and improve the various issues affecting your skin. Our experienced specialists are skilled at performing gentle, minimally-invasive microdermabrasion treatments, and we will customize your treatment and address your concerns and questions during your session.

It’s the only FDA-approved system designed to clear stubborn types of blemishes, including pustular acne, comedonal acne, and acne vulgaris.

What to expect

For certain types of acne (such as blackheads and pimples), over-the-counter or prescription topical medications can be effective forms of treatment. However, for major breakouts or stubborn acne, stronger methods may be necessary. The Isolaz laser destroys bacteria and, although results can vary, usually shows a 75% decrease in blemishes and redness within 2 months after the procedure. Other benefits of this laser include noticeable and quick results (often within 24 hours), clearer pores, and purified replenished skin.

Ultherapy

by

About Ultherapy

What is it?

Ultherapy is an FDA-approved skin tightening treatment that uses ultrasound energy to rejuvenate, tone, and refresh the skin. This ultrasound energy strengthens your skin’s framework and stimulates new collagen, providing you with a refreshed and brightened appearance. And since ultrasound technology gives a precise visualization of the targeted area, treatment is precise and efficient.

What to expect

Ultherapy tightens skin on your face, brow, neck, and even chest (breast) for a lifted rejuvenated appearance. Our expert practitioners are skilled and experienced at performing this non-invasive therapy for loose, sagging skin. A single treatment session typically takes about a half hour, while a combination treatment (e.g., face and neck) could take 90 minutes. One session is often enough, but depending on the laxity of your skin as well as your specific aesthetic goals, you may need several sessions.

After the procedure

The results from Ultherapy are gradual and natural-looking. Though there is a possibility of side effects, they are often mild and temporary, ranging from swelling and redness to tenderness or tingling for 5-7 days. Furthermore, results can vary from patient to patient, but most individuals notice an improvement within 1-3 months after treatment, with full effects being noticeable after 5-6 months. We recommend treatment sessions every 12-18 months to keep your skin looking healthy and refreshed!

Our approach & expertise

We know that saggy skin on your face or neck can have a negative impact on your appearance and self-esteem, so our skin experts are here to provide treatment options.

Bullous Pemphigoid

by

About Bullous Pemphigoid

What is it?

Bullous pemphigoid is a rare skin autoimmune condition that affects fewer than 20,000 Americans, usually over the age of 60. It is characterized by mild-to-severe inflammation and/or large, fluid-filled blisters that develop on or around areas that you frequently flex or fold, including the armpits, lower abdomen, and groin. However, it’s not uncommon for blisters to develop in your mouth or on your arms, legs, and chest. Symptoms vary from person to person; you may have experience intense itching while others may have hive-like rashes or fluid-filled blisters.

What causes it?

While it’s not altogether clear what causes your immune system to attack the skin in such a way, medications like sulfasalazine and penicillin have been found to trigger the body’s autoimmune response. It’s also believed that UV light for the treatment of other skin conditions could be responsible for the condition

Common treatments?

Lumps, Bumps and Moles

by

About Lumps, Bumps, and Moles

What are they?

“Lumps, bumps, and moles” is a general term that typically refers to warts, skin tags, vascular birthmarks, cysts, fat deposits, and more. Normally, these skin growths and irregularities are benign; however, they can have a negative bearing on your self-esteem because they often form on parts of your body that are easily visible, such as the face or neck. Other areas of the body that frequently develop lumps, bumps, and moles include the torso, back, arms, legs, and groin.

What causes them?

Since these skin growths can develop due to a multitude of reasons, it is important to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist who can properly identify and treat your particular condition.

Common treatments

Our skin experts have the training, knowledge, and experience to help you manage a variety of lumps, bumps, moles, warts, cysts, vascular birthmarks, and other skin irregularities. Treatment options include pulsed dye laser (PDL), Cutera Excel V laser, steroids, surgical excision, and prescription oral or topical medications. In some cases, such as with moles, only simple observation is necessary. However, since benign skin growths and irregularities vary from person to person, a consultation with your favorite skin specialist is the only to way to know which treatment is best for you.

Scleroderma

by

About Scleroderma

What is it?

Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease of the skin, characterized by fibrosis of the skin. In other words, the disease causes hardening, thickening, and scarring of the skin’s connective tissues. Although it’s often localized to specific parts of the body, it can also be widespread, causing systemic issues that affect internal tissues and organs, including the esophagus, blood vessels, kidneys, lungs, heart, and GI tract. Even if scleroderma is restricted to a smaller area of your body and/or doesn’t impact you internally, it can still be troublesome, as the skin on your face, fingers, neck, and feet become swollen, tender, inflamed, and/or hardened as well as experience a decreased range of motion.

What causes it?

Unfortunately, there are no clear causes of this condition, although there is evidence that genetics and the environment contribute substantially to its development.

Common treatments

Due to the complicated nature of scleroderma as well as the uncertainty of what causes it, treatment is customized on a case-by-case basis and may involve various options, as a single medication or treatment may not be completely effective. For example, you may have a mild, localized case that does not require treatment. On the other hand, someone else may have a severe, relentless case that involves multiple options, each addressing a single of the various symptoms that manifest. For the experts at our dermatology center, the ultimate goal is the management of the conditions.

Our approach & expertise

We know that a complicated, often systemic skin condition like scleroderma can have an adverse impact on you, both physically and emotionally.

Melasma

by

About Melasma

What is it?

Melasma is the development of gray or brown patches on the skin, usually in areas that are regularly exposed to the sun. Although this includes your arms and neck, it is more common on the face, especially the cheeks, chin, forehead, bridge of the nose, and under the eyes. Melasma usually develops symmetrically, meaning that the blotches of discoloration are even on either side of the face. As the condition commonly develops during pregnancy, it’s often referred to as the “mask of pregnancy”. Additionally, it’s estimated that as much as 90 percent of all melasma cases occur in women.

What causes it?

Researchers and dermatologists have varying ideas about the causes of melasma, but there is no clear consensus. However, there are risk factors that could make you more susceptible to these conditions, some of which include the following: sun (UV) exposure, genetics, hormones (e.g., such as during pregnancy), stress, irregular thyroid function, and certain cosmetics and skin care products. Ethnicity is thought to play a major role, as well. If you’re lighter-skinned, you’re less susceptible than individuals with darker skin. If you’re of the following ethnicities, you may be more susceptible to melasma: African/African-American, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Indian, Asian, Latin American, or Hispanic.

Common treatments

We have effective treatments tailored to your needs and goals, and you’ll always be a part of the decision-making process. We’ll be with you every step of the way, addressing your concerns and providing compassionate support. When it comes to melasma treatment, there are a variety of effective methods utilized by our expert dermatologists.
