Men’s Skin Care Matters, Too.

Jun 8, 2016 Dermatologist Blog, Men's Skin Care

June Men's Skin Care Specials
Attention to all the men out there:
Look and Feel Your Best Every Day

The skin care professionals at Associates in Dermatology know that a man’s skin has specific needs.  For June, Aiderm is offering specials designed specifically to help our male clients improve the health of their skin.  Whether you want to look less stressed, get rid of unwanted hair or small blood vessels, we know how to treat our men.

Botox/Xeomin/Dysport

As a man ages, your face can lose volume. Aggressive fitness routines can also take away volume from your face. You want to look lean and hungry, but at a certain point that crosses over to emaciated and frail.  You work hard to keep a youthful body.  With proper treatment with botox/xeomin/dysport, men can retain their youthful appearance for your face as well.

More specifically, Botox injections can help you retain a youthful appearance when wrinkles appear on your forehead, between your brows, or at the corners of your eyes. Botox is a no down-time, no-pain treatment, and results can help you look younger and less “angry” or “worried”.

Laser Hair Reduction

For many men, body hair – and where it appears – can become a point of frustration and embarrassment. Shaving is only a temporary solution. The idea of waxing or electrolysis sounds like more trouble than it’s worth. Associates in Dermatology offers a laser hair removal treatment that is  a safe, comfortable and proven alternative, removing hair from virtually any part of your body and keeping it off.

Erase small vessels from the face with KTP Laser

Men, as they age, may begin seeing small fine broken blood vessels on the face, around the nose and the central cheek area.  The KTP Laser treatment is effective for treating broken blood vessels on the nose and the face  and is surprisingly quick, comfortable and effective.  This treatment has virtually no down time and you can resume normal activity immediately following treatment.  The end result being a brighter, less red complexion.

At Associates in Dermatology, our physicians and skincare specialists are well versed in the skincare concerns unique to men, and we have some of the industry’s most leading-edge tools and technology to keep you looking as young and vibrant as you feel.

Introducing Age-defying Laser + Antioxidant System by SkinCeuticals

May 20, 2016 Dermatologist Blog, Latest Technology, Skin Care Answers

Combining an at-home laser with proven antioxidant technology.

Age-defying Laser + AntioxidantsThis comprehensive at-home skin laser system partners the Age-Defying Laser with state-of-the-art antioxidants for improvement in visible signs of aging. The Age-Defying Laser + Antioxidant System can be used in conjunction with in-office professional laser treatments as at-home maintenance.

System Includes:

  • Tria Age-Defying Laser:
    At-home skin laser to restore skin’s luminosity for a more youthful, radiant, and refreshed look.
  • Post-laser antioxidant regimen:
    C E Ferulic® and Resveratrol B E provide comprehensive protection against environmental aggressors caused by free radicals and to support skin’s natural repair. This antioxidant duo is proven to replenish post-laser skin and improve visible signs of aging.

How It Works:

Age Defying Laser uses non-ablative fractional technology that creates microscopic zones of cellular disruption “fractionally” around the treated area while leaving the out surface in tact. The skin responds to the treatment by initiating your body’s natural healing process, and around the treatment sites.  This stimulates the generation of new collagen.

The result is improved elasticity and firmness, smoother skin, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and diminished discoloration with minimal downtime.

Age-defying Laser + Antioxidant System and how it works

How It Is Used:

Age-defying Laser Antioxidant SystemThe Age Defying Laser should be used at night only!

  • Wash face and gently pat dry
  • Select a treatment level and slowly guide the laser with a smooth and even motion.
    • The device will beep when treatment is complete in four zones.
    • Its best to try Level I training on your forearm first to determine tolerance
    • Once Level I is tolerated (usually 1 or 2 weeks) you can move on to Level 2 then Level 3.
  • Follow immediately with CE Ferulic to promote healing and topical uptake.
  • Follow with RBE to decrease post laser tightness.
  • Reapply CEF in the morning after cleansing followed by your normal AM routine. (and sunscreen).
  • The laser should be used 5 nights per week for 12 weeks.

The Age-Defying Laser is appropriate for all skin types.  Do not use if you are under the age of 18, and do not allow children to play with or use this device.  Consult a health care professional first if you are pregnant or undergoing professional cosmetic treatments, such as a skin peel, laser resurfacing or filler injections.  Also consult a health care professional if you have a significant medical skin condition, your skin is unusually sensitive, your skin easily develops a rash or allergic reaction or if you are taking a medicine, such as a steroid.  The Age-Defying Laser should also not be used on skin that contains permanent makeup or is tattooed, infected, burned or cut.

Ultherapy in Hampton Roads

May 16, 2016 Dermatologist Blog, Latest Technology

The Only Procedure FDA-Cleared for a Non-invasive Neck, Brow and Under-Chin Lift

Ultherapy Summer Waves

It’s been featured on national television shows such as Rachael Ray, The View and The Doctors. It’s been touted by big-name beauty editors from Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, Shape and more.

It’s Ultherapy, a non-surgical treatment that uses ultrasound to actually lift loose skin — on the brow, on the neck and under the chin — without any downtime. And, it’s offered here in Hampton Roads, Virginia at Associates in Dermatology.

Ultherapy Uses Ultrasound?

That’s right! Ultherapy is the only cosmetic procedure to use ultrasound imaging.  Ultrasounds allows us to actually see the layers of tissue we target during the treatment.  The improved visibility ensures that the energy is being delivered to where it will be most optimal.

Leveraging this tried-and-true technology, we can specifically target the deep foundation below the skin – the one typically addressed in cosmetic surgery – without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin. That means after a 60- to 90-minute non-invasive treatment, you’ll be able to return to your everyday life without interruptions.  And it also means you won’t be hiding behind those “post-treatment” glasses or scarves.

Ultherapy Naturally Creates Collagen and Elastin

Ultherapy Sunglasses or ScarfUltherapy is so unique because it refreshes your collagen by jumpstarting a repair process. It relies on the body’s own regenerative process to stimulate the natural creation of new collagen and elastin – yes, new collagen and elastin. This results in an actual lift of skin overtime. In fact, the ultimate lifting takes place over 2-3 months, as tired collagen is replaced with new, stronger collagen. And, as this collagen-building process continues, further improvements can even appear up to 6 months following a procedure!

Ultherapy – an Uplift not a Facelift

Ultherapy is a non-surgical option for people with mild to moderate skin laxity.  The treatment benefits those who want some lifting for skin that has lost elasticity, but are not ready for surgery, either mentally, financially or logistically. It’s also a great option for those who want to “stay ahead of the game” as well as those looking to prolong the effects of cosmetic surgery.

Ask us if Ultherapy is right for you!

If you’re looking for a lift to counter the effects that gravity takes over time, it may be just the treatment you’ve been waiting for.  Contact us at 757-838-8030 today to schedule your appointment.

Baby Foot: Exfoliate Your Feet Naturally

Apr 24, 2016 Dermatologist Blog, Latest Technology, Skin Care Answers

Baby Foot is an innovative foot care product that will make your feet as smooth and soft as a baby’s foot. The unique formula of 17 types of natural extracts allow your feet to exfoliate naturally leaving them highly moisturized.

Baby Feet

This effective and gentle process removes the unwanted dead skin cells that have built up layer after layer. In addition, Baby Foot can improve other foot issues like: Foot Odor, Athletes Foot and Blood Circulation. So say goodbye to rough, dry, cracked soles, by using a product that really works!

Baby Feet Featured on Access Hollywood
Access Hollywood features Baby Foot!- Get Spring Ready Feet!

Here are some helpful hints that we have found to be useful when using Baby Foot:

  1. Shower, bathe or soak first.  If your feet are “prune-like” to begin with, the absorption is much better!
  2. Put a tight pair of socks over the booties (not big socks from her husband’s drawer, but little ones that are snug to begin with).
  3. Wear them for at least 1 hour.  If it is you first time using Baby Foot and/or your feet are pretty bad to start with, keep them on for 90-120 minutes.
  4. After the 1+ hour of wearing the booties, remove and discard them. Rinse feet and put on socks.
  5. In the days/weeks following, If the shower is in a bathtub (that allows you to fill with water), allow about 3 inches of water to accumulate in the bottom of the tub/shower so you can stand in water for a portion of your bathing process. Each time you shower or bathe, gently rub your feet at the very end (once the feet are really saturated).  The dead skin should “roll” off.
  6. You can use scissors to trim any hanging skin when you get done with your bathing routine each day.
  7. Apply any lotion to the feet when you get out of the shower and immediately put on snug socks (letting your feet get really dry will lengthen the peeling process).
  8. Wear snug socks as much as possible in the days/weeks to follow, including to sleep at night. Wearing sandals or going barefoot during the peeling process will elongate the process and it won’t be as drastic as it will be if you wear socks as much as possible.
