Laser Know How

 

Undergoing Lasers in the Summer
There are a few things you need to know about choosing to have laser treatments in the summer. Especially if you have tanned or ethnic skin.

Some "Laser Bewares"

Hair Laser - If you spend time at the beach and engaged in a lot of outside activity in the summer, chances are you're going to tan. This also means you have to be very careful where and who is performing your hair laser sessions. Why?
Hair lasers target pigment. The more pigment in your skin (tan), the more likely your skin will be a target too. Results? Dark patches, even possible loss of color. A full-complement laser practice will have lasers that won't harm tanned skin. Not all hair lasers are alike, so do be careful in your selection of practitioner.

CO2 lasers on the face are a little dicey if you're a beach-person or tanner. Unless you are great at sun protection, wait on this procedure until your beach days are over.

IPL - Not a laser, but still, it works by targeting pigment.  IPL is still workable during high sun months if you tend to be a sun safe person and don't indulge in tanning. Again, if your doctor suggests you wait, then wait.

 

Safe Summer Skin Improvers

Cosmelan - Topical treatment to lessen pigmentation
Microdermabrasion - A safe "any time" skin polishing for fresher smoother skin
Light Chemical Peels - Glycolic peels of the lighter variety will expose fresh new skin with little risk of color changes
Medical grade skin products - Often a well rounded skin care routine will make surprising improvements in how your skin looks. Melanin suppressors, tissue growth factors, hydration serums, scrubs and exfoliants. And of course SUNSCREEN and SUNBLOCK!
Radiofrequency Skin Tightening - Thermage has no problematic effect on surface skin, so it's a "good to go" anytime. Fast firming of the buttocks, hips, abdomen and thighs with the new Body Tip 16 and long term firming with Thermage for the Face.

Only people who really like old-looking prematurely-aged skin go without sun protection.

How Does It Work?

Injectable "Implants"

The Injectable "Implant"


Facial balance is a key component of attractiveness. Not all of us are born with the high cheekbones we so admire in models, or the chin projection that keeps the lower face proportions in balance.

The previous methods of building up the cheeks or chin were surgical implants.

The advent of a high density injectable like Radiesse has added a very attractive alternative and made "implants" something anyone can select.

Tissue Acceptance of Injectables
 

The tissues in the skin are "spongy" and very accepting of moldable injectable products, integrating all filler materials extremely well. The final appearance and feel are that of natural tissue.. Building either the chin or cheek projection becomes a simple process with very little discomfort and instant results.

"Patients control the process, deciding along the way what is "enough" and just how much definition and projection they desire. Injectable chin augmentation is perfect for men who do not want to leave tell tale clues from scars." Dr. Mani

Introducing Restoration FX


We need your help

After viewing a video of three young women who were undergoing TotalFX laser treatments for burn scars received when they were toddlers, Dr. Mani felt a tug on her heart strings. She decided, "We have the technology, the training and the desire to help others. Why don't we do the same thing and afford someone else a chance to look a little better?"

From that decision has come Restoration FX - no fee access to our Lumenis ActiveFX, DeepFX and TotalFX laser treatments for those who have suffered an accident resulting in treatable scarring. Criteria is fairly strict, as primary physicians must assist in the decision making process and potential candidates must be in good health and capable of accepting the limitations involved. But we need a starting point - and the starting point is you.

If you know of someone who has disfiguring scars resulting from an accident or trauma, please complete this form so we may contact you for further information on the candidate you recommend.

Together we can reach out and make our best efforts to improve the life of another.
