What Is a Facial?

This is one of the most basic and essential of all skin care treatments. It involves a multi-step process, and each step performs a different task so that collectively, this therapy leaves the skin feeling clean, smooth, and refreshed.

But this therapy is not just one treatment. Instead, it is a collection of modalities used together, including masks, peels, exfoliations, cleansers, and skincare products. Additionally, these therapies can be regularly repeated to provide the best results.

Which Choice Is Best for Your Skin?

To answer this question, we must first understand what kind of skin you have. From there, we can select the treatment that is best for you.

Acne

The root cause of acne is clogged pores. The goal of treatment, therefore, is to remove existing pimples and prevent new ones from developing.

• In the Clear: a three-step treatment that detoxifies skin and destroys acne
• Aqua: exfoliates and uses serums for improved skin health
• Chemical peel: fully customizable and provides deep exfoliation
• NeoClear Laser: delivers heat energy to clear bacteria and build collagen

Spots and Hyperpigmentation

Skin tone can diminish for any number of reasons, including aging, sun damage, and acne scars. Treatment, therefore, works to restore a natural glow and improve clarity.

• Illumination: features a hand-picked selection of skin brighteners
• Aqua: features a pigment lightener safe for all patients
• Chemical peel: removes damaged surface layers to eliminate scars
• Illumination Laser: heat energy that seamlessly removes spots and melasma

Sensitive Skin

Under this label falls a mixed bag of conditions, including redness and rosacea. This makes sensitive skin hard to treat, but we can address multiple concerns at once without irritating or drying.

• Red, Red Go Away: employs gentle, soothing products that calm irritation
• Aqua: rebalances sensitive skin with a 3-in1 treatment
• Chemical peel: hydrating ingredients improve acne and stop redness
• Red, Red Go Away Laser: delivers gentle energy to rejuvenate the skin

Dry Skin

Many times, people try to treat dry skin by slathering on thick layers of multiple products. But this can lead to other concerns, including clogged pores, when the real issue was likely imbalanced pH levels.

• Tall Drink of Water: contains hydrating ingredients safe even for sensitive skin
• Aqua: adds hyaluronic acid to the skin to stop dryness
• Chemical peel: soothes redness and sensitivity
• Tall Drink of Water Laser: gently improves redness

How They Work

• Cleansing
• Exfoliation
• Massage
• Mask
• Moisturizer

Right for You

Almost any type of skin – or any combination thereof – can benefit from these treatments. They are completely safe and incorporate products and techniques designed to address your concerns.

Having more than one aesthetic concern is perfectly normal, but it can make finding the right treatment a little more difficult if you want to address all of your aesthetic concerns at once. At Vibrant Dermatology & Skinbar MD in Dedham, MA, we are proud to offer IPL treatment for a variety of aesthetic concerns to anyone in the Boston, Dedham, Westood, Norwood, Canton, Sharon, Milton, Walpole, Foxboro, or Needham areas.

What Is IPL Treatment?

Intense pulsed light is a type of laser-based treatment that is revolutionizing what laser treatments can do. At our clinic, we use Spectrum, which is more flexible and versatile than many other laser treatments on the market. Spectrum can treat a wide variety of aesthetic concerns, including:

Hair Removal

Hair removal treatments are those that significantly reduce the amount of hair grown by hair follicles on virtually any area of the body, such as the face, underarms, chest, stomach, back, and legs.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Laser treatments for anti-aging have the ability to stimulate the production of collagen within the dermis to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on most areas of the face, as well as greatly reducing skin laxity on the cheeks, chin, and neck.

Acne and Acne Scarring

Light pulsed technology is capable of both killing acne-causing bacteria at the source, as well as breaking up old scar tissue from previous acne break-outs to smooth the skin surface, close enlarged pores, and reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Vascular Reduction

Vascular reduction refers to the correction of visible spider veins, varicose veins, and broken capillaries visible on the skin surface. This works because the laser energy heats the damaged blood vessel and causes it to collapse over time.

Pigmentation

Pigmentation on the skin is a superficial concern that refers to dark spots and sun damage associated with aging.

Tattoo Removal

Intense pulsed light can also remove tattoos from the surface of the skin to painlessly return skin to a blank canvas.

How It Works

Intense pulsed light is laser technology that works by generating thermal heat, which penetrates the sub-dermal layers of skin to heat tissues and stimulates the body’s natural regenerative response, including the acceleration of wound healing and the production of collagen.

Spectrum technology is also diverse enough to injure hair follicles to slow the growth of hair and gently heat pigment in tattoos to aid in their removal. This non-ablative laser can also correct vascular issues on the face and body.

Are You a Good Candidate?

Good candidates for this unique laser treatment include anyone who has one or more of the aesthetic concerns listed above. If you want to perfect the surface of your skin, reduce visible signs of aging, correct vascular issues, slow hair growth, or remove tattoos, then this treatment is likely right for you.

Take Advantage of the Diversity of IPL Treatments

Whether you only have one aesthetic concern or you have multiple, treatments with Spectrum can be your all-in-one solution too all of your superficial appearance concerns.

Losing your hair is a very demoralizing experience. As your hair loss becomes more noticeable, you are likely to lose confidence in your looks. Fortunately, you can restore your hair with KeraFactor. At Vibrant Dermatology & Skinbar MD located in Dedham, Massachusetts and providing treatments to the communities of Boston, Dedham, Westwood, Norwood, Canton, Sharon, Milton, Walpole, Foxboro, and Needham, we can use this treatment to give you a head of thick, beautiful hair.

KeraFactor

KeraFactor is a sophisticated serum that is designed to improve the condition of thinning, unhealthy hair. During this treatment, we will use a laser to make very small micro-channels on your scalp. Our specialized laser will enable us to create these tiny channels without causing you discomfort or harming your skin. After we have created these micro-channels, we will gently massage the topical hair growth serum into your scalp.  

As we massage your scalp, the serum will enter your body through the micro-channels in your skin. This serum contains growth factors and proteins that will encourage your body to produce more hair. As it enters your body, this serum will enhance the functionality of your hair follicles. During the next several weeks, the thickness and quality of your hair will improve.

Who Is This Hair Loss Treatment Right For?

Hair loss is a very normal condition, and many men and women struggle with this issue every year. In fact, 40% of women will develop noticeable hair loss by age forty. Similarly, about 66% of men will have some hair loss by the time they reach age thirty-five. Hair loss can be caused by hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, illnesses, and other health problems.

If you have noticed clumps of hair in your brush, hair falling out in the shower, or bald areas on your scalp, you might benefit from receiving this treatment. However, since scalp infections and other health issues can prevent you from using KeraFactor, we will take a look at your scalp and discuss your health before we perform this treatment. This examination will help us determine the cause of your hair loss and set up a suitable solution for you.

How Many Treatments Will I Receive?

Your treatment schedule will depend on the extent of your hair loss and your body’s reaction to the serum. In general, you can expect to receive about six treatment sessions. To give your hair time to respond to the serum, you should wait two weeks between each treatment.

When Will I See Improvements in My Hair?

Your hair will take time to grow, and you shouldn’t feel upset if you don’t see immediate changes in your scalp. You are likely to see positive changes in your hair growth within about six to eight weeks after your initial KeraFactor treatment.

Restore Your Hair

You don’t have to receive an expensive, invasive procedure to restore your hair and regain your confidence in your appearance. KeraFactor is a fantastic growth serum that can be applied on your scalp in a series of quick, minimally invasive treatments.

Liquid Lift

• Dermal fillers
• Neurotoxins
• Chemical peels
• Laser treatments

Each individual therapy targets a specific condition to provide cumulative results. Fillers, for example, replace lost volume, while injectable neurotoxins smooth fine lines. Chemical peels improve skin clarity, and laser treatments can correct scars, wrinkles, and laxity.

NeoSkin Rejuvenation

This laser treatment, as stated earlier, tightens the skin for a more youthful appearance. As an added bonus, it also eliminates age spots, redness, and hyperpigmentation. The result is a fresher, more revitalized face achieved in sessions that take between 15 and 45 minutes.

Injectable Fillers

This is where we describe fillers, which all work to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Some also restore volume to areas like the cheeks and under-eye hollows so you more closely resemble your glowy, dewy, and younger self. The fillers we are offer are:

• Juvederm
• Kybella
• Radiesse
• Restylane
• Sculptra

Each works in a slightly different manner to achieve slightly different results. For instance, Juvederm is particularly beneficial for plumping skin and can also be injected into the lips.

Kybella addresses sagging under the chin. Radiesse is ideal for smoothing the skin around the cheeks and mouth. Restylane works much like Juvederm, while Sculptra ignites collagen production to correct deep and shallow wrinkles.

Neurotoxins

Injectables within this category work a little differently from fillers in that they inhibit muscle movement. This occurs only in the specific treatment area and only in muscles that contribute to the appearance of fine lines. Neurotoxins commonly benefit lines in the forehead and around the eyes, as well as sagging jawlines, where the skin is delicate and requires a precise application.

Because they impede movement, these injectables also prevent new wrinkles from forming. You might therefore think of them as key to an ongoing appearance of youth. For patients in the areas of Boston, Dedham, Westwood, Norwood, Canton, Sharon, Milton, Walpole, Foxboro, and Needham, we offer two neurotoxins: Botox and Xeomin.

So Many Options

Anyone who wants to rejuvenate their appearance can benefit from a variety of non-surgical therapies. The only question is: which treatment will you decide upon for yourself?

Scar treatments can produce visible, effective, and immediate results. Without treatment, these unwanted marks should heal naturally until they almost entirely disappear, but the process can take months or years. Would you like to speed up the process of fading and minimizing the appearance of scars? We can recommend various cosmetic treatment plans at Vibrant Dermatology & Skinbar MD in Dedham, MA. We can help you see a visible difference in your scar so you can be confident in your skin.

How Effective Are Scar Treatments?

It’s not easy to remove scars naturally, but thanks to cosmetic and medical innovations, you can now choose from several effective treatments that can remove, fade, or minimize them. In our practice, we are proud to deliver various services to help you find the best solution that will bring you closer to your aesthetic goals. Most of these treatments require zero downtime. Meanwhile, more invasive treatments, such as surgical operations, will involve a moderate amount of rest.

If you have decided to undergo a scar removal treatment, we usually recommend you to practice adequate sun protection after all treatments. It’s also a good idea to maintain a good skincare routine and avoid excessive sun exposure or stress. By closely following our recovery directions, you can ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and the best possible outcomes.

Laser Therapy

Laser scar treatment is successful at minimizing the presence of wound scars. This treatment option uses concentrated light energy to remove or exfoliate the skin’s outer surface. It induces the development of new, healthier skin cells to cover damaged skin cells or scar tissues. Laser scar treatment may minimize the following skin imperfections:

• Warts
• Age spots
• Wounds and acne scars
• Keloids

Keep note that while laser therapy offers many cosmetic benefits, it does not completely erase a scar or restore the skin’s appearance before the damage or injury. Laser therapy can minimize the development of an elevated scar following surgery and reduce pain and itching in the scar area.

What Type of Scar Is Best for Laser Treatments?

When you suffer from a skin injury or damage, the body will naturally heal the wound or inflammation. On the affected site, a scab grows to shield the wound from germs during the injury. This scab inevitably falls off by the end of the healing process. Most of the time, the skin beneath a scab is often the same color as the rest of the body. However, a scar may develop after a scab falls off, depending on the injury.

These scars can fade with time or become lighter. When this type of scarring is treated with laser energy, the outer layer of the affected skin surface may be dissolved and eventually removed. The treatment can effectively smooth the skin to enhance its tone and appearance. Laser treatment may also be used to target and decrease the redness of the scar tissue’s blood vessels. It penetrates the skin surface to stimulate new skin cell development.

Treatment Aftercare

You’ll need to protect your skin from the sun after a laser scar treatment. Recovery times vary, but your skin may take as long as ten days to recover. When your skin suffers from prolonged sun exposure, it’s possible for you to grow another scar.

How Many Laser Treatments Will You Need?

Laser scar therapy does not make a scar disappear. Instead, this treatment is designed to make a scar less visible. We can arrange a set of laser treatments to give you long-lasting results and the most progress. You won’t experience downtime with this type of treatment, but you will still need a number of laser treatments to see the desired effects.

Silicone Dressings

Silicone gel sheets are like soft wound covers made up of polymers. They may be attached to a mesh or cross-linked with a cloth. Silicone dressings may be used to treat hypertrophic and keloid scars by enhancing their appearance and preventing them from forming.

Improperly closed surgical wounds can result in the development of hypertrophic scars. It is also true if you’ve suffered from excessive stress, wound infections, and severe burns in the injured area.

How Effective Are Silicone Dressings for Scar Treatment?

Silicone dressings may penetrate deeper layers of the skin to minimize visible skin scars over time. They require special attention while being used, but they can effectively reduce scars gradually in some cases. Silicone dressings also have the added advantage of healing the scar faster than gels.

Silicone strips, on the other hand, are made of an ultra-thin silicon layer. You will mostly need to wear it 24 hours a day. As advised by your healthcare provider, you can position your silicone strips across the scar formation region. These strips are auto-dried, allowing them to dry on the skin within five minutes of application.

Does It Work for Everyone?

Silicone dressings can effectively help reduce redness, discomfort, and scar tissue development as your skin heals. Ideally, the dressing should match your natural skin contours well so that the items are not too noticeable. However, it is essential to remember that the results and experience you may get from silicone dressings can differ for each individual.

Silicone dressings are most appropriate for high scars. They are also useful for avoiding or treating hypertrophic scars and keloid scars. When using silicone dressings, many people have observed the following benefits:

• Reduction in scar-texture
• Improvement in scar color
• Reduction in height or the elevation of the scars

Dermal Fillers

Many scar filler treatments are available for acne scars on the market. They can suppress and enhance the scar’s appearance after you have suffered from inflammation or skin trauma. Depending on your goals, it’s also possible for you to mix and match numerous scar filler treatments. However, you’ll need to set realistic expectations and understand that you can’t possibly return to perfectly normal skin after treatments.

Dermal fillers with hyaluronic injections are most used for indented scars that heal below the normal skin tissue layer. This treatment option involves almost no downtime and delivers quick results. You may get dermal fillers as scar treatment twice a year.

The Most Popular Types of Dermal Fillers for Scars

Juvederm, Radiesse, and Restylane are the most common dermal fillers for acne scars. These injectable fillers can reduce the presence of a particular type of scar and enhance your skin’s texture. The acne scar filler’s efficacy depends on which part of the skin is treated and its condition.

Restylane acne scar fillers have an efficacy of up to nine months. Meanwhile, Radiesse acne scar fillers are expected to minimize the appearance of scars for up to a year. Lastly, Juvederm’s acne scar filler’s efficacy lasts from roughly nine months up to a year.

What Is Hyaluronic Acid?

Dermal fillers for scar treatment are often made from hyaluronic acid. This substance is naturally occurring in the human body. You can customize your treatment according to your skin conditions after we have conducted a skin assessment. Most of our patients report satisfactory results after dermal filler treatments for scars.

Topical Medications

Topical agents can also be used to treat the appearance of scars that cause redness and discoloration on the skin. They can also be applied to help avoid more outbreaks and scars. Dermatological agents may help to get rid of dark spots and minor acne scars. Mild acne scars can theoretically be treated with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, which are active ingredients in various facial cleansers and gels.

Retinoids

Topical retinoids, also known as retinol, are widely used as a keratolytic agent. This substance is effective in treating dark spots and acne scarring. It works by removing dead skin layers so that healthier, newer skin can resurface. The typical examples of topical retinoids are:

• Tazorac
• Differin
• Tretinoin

Keep note that these substances can negatively affect pregnancy and are thus not recommended for pregnant, breastfeeding, and women trying to conceive.

Tretinoin

Adapalene and benzoyl peroxide are commonly used to treat blemishes and acne scars. For the best results, you should avoid further skin damage when treating acne scars. Many topical drugs, such as topical antibiotics, can minimize breakouts well. As you experience fewer acne breakouts, it will be less likely for you to develop new acne marks.

If you have sensitive skin, it’s essential that you take special care when using topical medications. The wrong dosage and use of these items can cause dry, unhealthy skin. If we prescribe these for your benefit, we’ll also suggest that you use oil-free moisturizers to prevent skin dryness.

Surgical Treatments

Plastic surgeons are also experts when it comes to the treatment of scars. By using modern techniques and reconstructive treatments, it’s now possible for you to enhance or minimize the appearance of scars. Surgery can be used to remove excess scar tissue, repair the underlying skin and other soft tissues, and reduce their development after an operation.

Scar Revision

Scar revision operations can effectively reduce the presence of a scar and help the skin blend with it. When a surgical incision heals, stitches or sutures may alter the appearance of a wound scar. Wounds forming after an injury can cure unevenly, causing the formation of elevated and bulging scar tissue.

Scar Removal

Keloids that far exceed the original injury margins may be removed through surgical scar removal. In this way, we can rebuild the surrounding skin and tissues while restoring the underlying structure as much as possible. We can also remove a sizable hypertrophic scar, a thickened, broad, often raised scar. We may also repair the incision with special cosmetic treatments during the operation, contributing to a smaller, less visible scar.

For wounds covering large areas of skin, like burn scars, for example, you may choose to have a reconstructive surgical treatment, such as skin expansion. In the skin expansion, we first insert a tiny ball under the skin next to the scar. We then use the extended skin to replace the damaged or burned skin while conducting surgery. The fresh skin naturally heals, and you’ll get to enjoy the appearance of a more natural skin texture and even tone.

Effectively Eliminate Unsightly Scars

While the development of scars is usually normal and inevitable, many people still find them inconvenient and bothersome. Do you prefer to remove them entirely or at least minimize their appearance? Contact Vibrant Dermatology and Skinbar MD in Dedham, MA today to explore the possible treatment options for your scar. Scars are a natural part of healing, but it doesn’t mean that you must live with scar tissue that brings nothing but frustration or discomfort.

More and more people are turning to injectable dermal fillers as a safe alternative to cosmetic surgery. Radiesse is convenient and long-lasting, but one of the most important considerations for many in choosing this treatment is how long their results will last. While there are many variables at play in answering this question, Dr. Ip and her talented team at Vibrant Dermatology in Dedham, MA are experts at developing individualized treatment programs that will give you the best and longest-lasting results possible.

How Long Does Radiesse Last?

Radiesse is an FDA-approved calcium hydroxyapatite-based filler that is designed to treat moderate to severe wrinkles and folds in the face and hands. Its unique value comes from its special formulation best suited for treating high-mobility areas around the mouth and cheeks.  This product’s biocompatibility makes it a generally well-tolerated treatment.

Since everyone’s body responds differently to treatments, it’s difficult to predict precisely how long the results will last. Many factors influence the longevity of treatment results, including age and health, lifestyle, skin condition, location of treatment, and injection volume. However, with proper maintenance, studies show your treatment will last up to a year or longer.

Understanding Your Skin

The skin is your largest organ, and it is important to understand the basics of skin anatomy in order to understand how dermal fillers work. Your skin defends your body against everyday threats such as microorganisms like bacteria and viruses, harsh weather conditions, and environmental damage. It supplies necessary nutrients and regulates body temperature. As your first line of defense, your skin’s layers also take a lot of damage.

The Dermis and Epidermis

The first two layers of skin are called the epidermis and dermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer that protects us from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays and acts as a waterproof barrier to the outside world. Areas of the body that are more vulnerable tend to have a thicker epidermis layer, such as the palms of your hands and soles of your feet.

The second layer is the dermis, which provides the flexibility that cushions the body from wear and tear. It contains the sebaceous glands, which produce the necessary oils that support the skin’s suppleness and elasticity. This is also where the receptors are located that are responsible for your sense of pain, pressure, and touch.

The Hypodermis (Subcutaneous)

The subcutaneous layer contains the deep blood vessels that are essential to nutrient transfer. Also called the hypodermis, its composition of fats and connective tissues help to act as the body’s shock absorber. This layer also helps regulate temperature and acts as an insulator.

The Effects of Aging Skin

As we age, men and women alike experience hormonal changes that cause our skin to grow thinner and less elastic. As sweat glands and sebaceous glands produce less oil, collagen production slows down, and our skin becomes less hydrated. Blood vessels tend to weaken, making nutrient transfer more difficult and increases the tendency for bruising. All of this means that more mature skin takes longer to heal and does not rebound as quickly as younger skin.

These variables are what lead to the sunken, hollowed appearance in the fragile skin of the eyes, mouth, and cheekbones. As the skin loses its hydration and resilience, the skin begins to sag and droop with the effects of gravity. This is why dermal fillers are fast becoming the most popular non-invasive cosmetic treatment for restoring volume in these areas.

The Aging Epidermis

Each layer of skin responds differently to the aging process. Being the skin’s first line of defense, the epidermis takes the strongest hit. As this layer loses its youthful elasticity, it succumbs hardest to harsh weather, drying effects, and sun damage. This makes scarring more prominent as the skin stretches and thins.

Pigmentation is also a function of the epidermis. As we age, the cells responsible for skin color begin to thin out and disappear. The remaining cells grow larger, creating the discolorations we colloquially refer to as “age spots.”

The Aging Dermis

The older we get, the more collagen production slows and breaks down. This causes the dermis to weaken and begin to lose the cushioning that helps absorb wear and tear on the body. The dermis also houses small blood vessels that are more damage-prone, which causes the skin to bruise more easily.

The Aging Subcutaneous

This deep, innermost layer of skin is affected differently by the aging process for men and women. Hormones shift and change with age, causing the sebaceous glands to produce less oil. For men, this change in oil production typically doesn’t occur until around 80 years of age. For women, oil production slows much earlier – around the time of menopause (on average around 51 years of age).

How Can Dermal Fillers Help?

Dermal fillers are formulated to replace lost collagen and hydration in the skin. For decades, collagen dermal fillers were the only option, and they typically only lasted for three to six months. The advent of new technologies has ushered in a whole new world of filler solutions. These newer, more advanced treatments are longer-lasting and gaining popularity fast.

Cosmetic professionals continue to rank injectable fillers at the top of their recommendation lists. Fillers are delivered into the dermis using tiny needles. Some thicker formulations are injected more deeply into the subcutaneous. Due to their track record of long-lasting results with low risk and minimal downtime, they remain a popular and safe alternative to cosmetic surgery.

Radiesse: What You Need To Know

This product’s key ingredient is calcium hydroxyapatite, which is a collagen stimulator. This product not only smooths severe folds and wrinkles in the skin but also encourages the body’s own collagen production and skin renewal. It is formulated for treating the lower face, including smile lines, corners of the mouth, marionette lines, and chin wrinkles. It has also recently been FDA-approved for treating the hands as well.

About Calcium Hydroxyapatite

Calcium hydroxyapatite has a well-established safety profile and high viscosity, making it an ideal agent for treating facial skin. This compound is a mineral-like substance that occurs naturally in our bones, which makes it one of the heaviest fillers on the market. The compound is suspended in a water-based gel for smooth and seamless injection.

Before it was used for injectable dermal fillers, calcium hydroxyapatite was used in dentistry and reconstructive surgery, giving it a history of safety and efficacy. Once injected, it resists migration to other areas and stays put longer than other fillers. Since it is not sourced from animals and already occurs naturally in the body, this treatment is well-tolerated by most.

Why Consider Using Radiesse?

Immediate Effects

Since calcium hydroxyapatite is injected directly into the skin, its effects are noticeable after just one treatment. Calcium hydroxyapatite instantly restores elasticity and improves facial contours, and stays in place longer than most other treatments. It can also be molded to reconstruct sunken, hollow areas of the face and immediately enhance facial contours.

Non-Allergic Formulation

One of the benefits of Radiesse is that you will not need to undergo allergy testing, which is typical for most dermal filler treatments. Because this product is formulated using only substances already naturally occurring in the body, there is little to no risk of allergy for most people. Because of this, treatments are quick (approximately 15 minutes) and require no downtime.

Non-Intrusive

Despite consisting of a series of small injections, the ultrafine needles used to deliver the calcium hydroxyapatite increase accuracy over a small area. They also reduce the treatment area, making the process minimally invasive. During the session, patients are offered a topical anesthetic that will minimize any discomfort.

Long-Term Benefits

In the past, other dermal fillers and collagen treatments lasted less than 6 months and broke down quickly in the body. The calcium hydroxyapatite in Radiesse is thick enough that it resists breaking down and does not migrate. In addition, with continued use, it makes permanent positive changes to the skin as collagen is stimulated and fills in areas where it was once lost.

How to Get the Most From Radiesse Treatment

While everyone responds to treatment differently, there are some things you can do to get the longest-lasting results from your treatment. Regular maintenance and touch-ups will help maintain your desired results, but there are other things you can do to extend the longevity of your treatment. Making healthy choices, living an active lifestyle, protecting your skin, and prioritizing a skincare regimen will all go a long way toward improving your treatment results.

Regular Maintenance

Studies indicate that the more product your skin receives, the more your tissues become conditioned to the process, making each treatment increasingly more effective. In addition, it stands to reason that the more touch-ups you receive, the longer the effects will last. Since calcium hydroxyapatite stimulates collagen production, regular maintenance will encourage the skin’s own restoration processes.

Wear Sunscreen

It goes without saying that UV damage from the sun can hinder the duration of your treatment. Radiation damage can cause premature aging and encourage liver spots and leathery skin. Avoiding tanning beds and wearing sunscreen gives your skin its best chance for long-lasting results.

Minimize Stress

High stress levels produce cortisol, a hormone that can create unwanted negative effects on the skin, such as lower skin barrier functionality, thinning, and reduced elasticity. This makes the skin less resilient and less likely to recover from damage. Introducing activities that reduce stress levels can enhance the effectiveness of your treatments.

Make Skincare a Priority

Skincare isn’t just about what you put on your skin – it’s also about what you put in it. Developing a consistent skincare routine that ensures the skin gets the hydration and nutrients it needs will enhance your treatment’s effectiveness. Dr. Ip can make recommendations for companion treatments and other products that will maximize your results.

Make Your Health a Priority

Getting the most from your sessions begins with prioritizing your health. Lifestyle choices can play a big part in making your results last as long as possible. Habits such as smoking and tanning (or any overexposure to ultraviolet light) can speed up the aging process and extend recovery time. In addition, high stress levels sap energy reserves and affect the body’s ability to heal. Introducing holistic approaches to your skincare regimen will extend the duration of treatment results.

What Is Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream?

Vanicream is a revolutionary product recommended by thousands of dermatologists thanks to its skin-nourishing formula. Part of a line of products created to keep your skin looking and feeling its best, this moisturizing skin cream is designed to deliver and lock in hydration from head to toe. It is thick, rich, and safe for your skin, making it one of the best skin creams available for our patients.

Even better, this cream is considered a powerful and effective treatment for any type of dry skin, including skin conditions such as eczema and winter itch. Regular moisturization can help improve these common conditions, relieve symptoms, and reduce the appearance of dry, red, or scaly skin. Over time, our patients can expect to see a dramatic change in the way their skin looks and feels thanks to this product.

Why Is Moisturization So Important for My Skin?

Your skin is the largest organ of your body, and it is exposed to exterior elements every day. Hydration is essential to every function of your skin, including wound repair and structural support, circulation, and expelling dirt, oil, and bacteria from the pores. When our skin is not moisturized, it often becomes itchy or flaky. Injuries take longer to heal, and the surface of the skin can become red and cracked, especially in the winter. While it’s important to make sure you drink plenty of water each day to keep your skin clear, hydrated, and healthy, many people need additional moisturization to see their skin truly transform.

Moisturizing creams serve two purposes by delivering nourishing moisture to your skin while also locking that moisture into your pores and creating a protective barrier from drying elements outside. This allows your skin to heal effectively over time and prevents symptoms of dry skin from becoming worse or more painful. Routine moisturization can also help combat common skin concerns such as acne, rosacea, or eczema. We recommend that our patients moisturize their skin from the inside-out by drinking enough water each day and applying a moisturizing skin cream at least once daily.

How Does It Compare to Other Creams?

Many creams are created with floral scents or bright dyes to create a pleasing aesthetic effect. However, these ingredients can irritate your skin while the cream delivers sub-par moisturization. Vanicream Skin Cream is specifically designed without common chemical additives, including dyes, fragrances or masking fragrances, lanolin, parabens, or formaldehyde and formaldehyde releasers. The cream is free of botanical extracts and essential oils, which can irritate your skin, and is made gluten-free. Unlike many other creams, this moisturizer is truly non-irritating for the majority of patients.

Upon application, this cream quickly absorbs into the skin. It is non-greasy and easily spread on any area of the body: even the face. It is classified as non-comedogenic, which means that it is an excellent moisturizer for those with acne or sensitive skin. Finally, this product has been tested and approved for use by children and adults alike by dermatologists and the National Eczema Association, which awarded it the Seal of Acceptance. This cream is designed to promote healing and hydration in your skin with each use, making it a better option than many popular alternatives.

Which Conditions Can It Treat?

We recommend that all of our patients moisturize their skin daily by drinking a healthy amount of water and applying a moisturizing skin cream. This combination helps hydrate all the layers of your skin. Beyond promoting your skin’s overall health, Vanicream skin cream is an effective treatment for many common skin conditions. If you are unsure whether this product would be effective in your unique situation, one of our doctors would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Eczema

This common skin condition affects many patients from childhood and presents as a red, itchy rash with scaly skin. It often appears on the arms and legs but can spread to other areas of the body, especially if the skin is not properly moisturized. Eczema makes the skin extremely dry. Patients should avoid drying soaps and other products, which can irritate the rash and create more cracks in the skin. In addition, they should use an eczema-friendly moisturizing product.

Many creams claim to be eczema-friendly. However, the presence of certain dyes, fragrances, and other ingredients can actually dehydrate the skin and irritate inflamed areas. In addition, the ingredients in many creams are not hydrating or do not last long enough to effectively treat eczema. Vanicream skin cream offers gentle, super-hydrating, long-lasting moisture that promotes healing in the skin and soothes symptoms. This cream is easy to apply anywhere on the body and dries quickly, making it perfect for children with eczema as well as adults.

Psoriasis

This condition is often triggered by stress or infection and can cause red, flaky patches of skin to appear on the body and scalp. It causes an accelerated rate of skin cell shedding, which normally happens over the course of a month but results in dry and dead skin cell build-up during a flare-up. While the symptoms often fade on their own, they can re-appear in just a few hours and cause itching and irritation. The affected patches of skin can become sore and cracked over time.

One way to manage symptoms of psoriasis is to use a gentle, soothing product like Vanicream skin cream regularly. Keeping your skin moisturized can reduce irritation in the affected areas as well as promote overall skin health, which can improve this condition over time.

Ichthyosis

This inherited skin condition causes the skin to appear scaly or unusually thick. In addition, the skin is extremely dry and can be prone to cracking and bleeding if not properly moisturized. Managing this condition with Vanicream skin cream can help deliver effective hydration to the skin, which can reduce pain and irritation and promote skin rejuvenation.

Acne

One of the most notorious skin conditions, acne can often be caused by a lack of moisture in the skin, which triggers the production of excess oil. This oil can clog the pores, trap dirt and debris on the skin, and cause regular breakouts. Drinking water is one way to moisturize your skin, but applying a daily moisturizer is another important step in clearing your acne and restoring a bright, even skin tone.

Thanks to Vanicream’s non-comedogenic formula, this moisturizer can be used on the face without clogging the pores. In addition, it won’t irritate inflamed skin or aggravate breakouts due to its gentle, skin-friendly nature. Instead, this cream can soothe acne breakouts while rebalancing your skin’s oil levels to reduce your chance of developing new acne.

Winter Itch

Winter itch is a general term for dry, irritated skin in the cooler winter months. It can be a form of eczema which flares up in colder weather, but most people simply experience their skin drying out and become sore or cracked. As its name implies, this condition is often itchy as well as painful. Using a rich, moisturizing skin cream during the wintertime can restore your skin’s natural moisture, create a barrier to prevent more drying, and heal irritation caused by the cold weather.

Routine Hand Washing

Many people need to wash their hands often at work, whether they’re a nurse, chef, or childcare worker. This routine washing can quickly dry out the skin and create irritation, especially in dry locations or cold weather. By applying a small amount of Vaniceam skin cream after washing your hands, you can restore the moisture and protective barrier, which keeps your skin healthy. This prevents you from developing dry skin and allows you to continue doing your job without being distracted by cracked or irritated skin.

How Can I Use This Cream?

Vanicream moisturizing skin cream face is safe and effective for use from your head to your toes and everywhere in between. It can be generously applied to the skin on the knees and elbows, which often exhibit signs of eczema or other irritating skin conditions. It can also be the perfect go-to moisturizer after washing your hands or taking a shower. Making a habit of applying a moisturizer after washing your skin can prevent dryness and lock the moisture in your pores, resulting in softer, smoother, and healthier skin over time.

Some patients mix their moisturizing creams to experience their favorite scents or sensations along with the powerful moisturizing formula of Vanicream skin cream. It is easily applied to the face and can be worn under makeup or other skincare products thanks to its non-greasy formula. Finally, this cream is ideal for those who wash their hand often at work or who work outdoors in colder weather, as it can replenish the skin’s moisture and protect the skin from dehydration and outside elements for several hours without reapplication.

Am I an Ideal Candidate?

If you experience dry, cracked, flaky, or irritated skin, you will most likely benefit from using Vanicream moisturizing skin cream acne. This product is considered safe for almost every patient, thanks to its transparent and skin-friendly formula. In addition, patients with any skin type can use this product since it is non-irritating and free from common fragrances and dyes that cause rashes and allergic reactions. This cream is approved by our experienced doctors, along with many other dermatologists, as an excellent treatment for many common skin conditions.

Finally, this cream is an excellent choice for anyone seeking an ultra-moisturizing cream without harmful ingredients or a strong scent. It can be a great addition to any daily routine and help refresh and rehydrate your skin with each use. This product may not be ideal for you if you have any known allergies to any of the ingredients. If you have questions, one of our doctors can help you determine whether this cream can effectively treat your unique concerns.

Want to Reduce Scarring? We’re Here to Help!

While it might be fun to tell the story of how you got a scar, living with this noticeable skin condition can affect your self-esteem, especially if it is located in a prominent place on your body. There are many different types of scars and, depending on the depth and size of the area, they can take remain visible for your entire lifetime. Our talented team evaluates your scar and suggests the best treatments to reduce scarring. Most of our patients see significant progress in just a few appointments and are able to drastically fade their scars over the course of treatment.

What Is a Scar?

Scarring is one of your body’s most important healing processes. After your skin is injured, your body begins working to repair the damage almost instantly. This includes rebuilding the structure of the skin with new collagen, elastin, and fresh skin cells. While this process revitalizes the affected skin, it can result in visible changes, especially on the surface of the skin. Scars are often formed with thicker, more fibrous tissue than the surrounding healthy skin. They can appear uneven, smooth and shiny, or lighter or darker than your natural skin tone and texture.

While you can take some helpful preventative steps as an injury heals to reduce your risk of scarring, such as closing a wound with stitches or wearing a compression bandage, your final scarring results can be noticeably different from the rest of your skin. Many patients choose to use one of our top-quality treatments to further fade their scars and restore a more uniform appearance in the affected area.

How Should I Care for My Scar to Prevent Scarring?

You can do a great deal to reduce your risk of significant scarring by caring for your wound correctly in the first six weeks of healing. We recommend that you try to keep the area as clean and moist as possible. Wash the wound often with soap and water, then apply a salve, cream, or jelly recommended by your doctor to keep the area moisturized.

The appearance of your scar could be improved by the use of a compression bandage or stitches, which pull the edges of the skin together and can reduce your risk of developing wide scars or uneven scars like keloids. Finally, you should protect the healing skin from the sun to aid in healing and prevent discoloration. We recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+, which should be applied before you go outside and reapplied every 30-60 minutes for as long as you’re in the sun.

It’s estimated that harmful sun exposure causes over 90% of all common skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, discoloration, and skin cancer. It’s essential to take care of your skin in the sun to protect your scar as it heals and avoid additional skin-related issues in the future.

What Are the Different Types of Scars?

Your body heals differently from various injuries. That’s why one of our doctors will always help identify your specific scar and recommend the best treatment for your unique situation. Here are some of the most common scars we treat:

Vascular Scars

These scars can appear bright red due to the high number of blood vessels collected in the affected area. These vessels often cluster right below the surface of the skin and can improve over time. Most of our patients seek treatment 6-12 months after initial scar formation to improve the appearance of the scar and fade the red color.

Keloids and Hypertrophic Scars

These scars can form due to excessive collagen production during the healing process. Some patients are more prone to keloids and hypertrophic scars than others, but anyone can experience this type of scar. The final appearance of the scar is often raised and lumpy, and the scar area can expand beyond the damaged area in some cases. It can be difficult to reduce scarring in patients with keloids, but we have seen great success with our treatment options.

Acne Scars

Acne is a notoriously challenging skin condition to treat. However, even when acne is successfully managed, the resulting scars can affect the texture and appearance of the skin. Acne scars can vary, but the most common are discolored areas of skin, keloids, or sunken pit scars. Many scars fade successfully over time, but patients who experience moderate to severe acne scarring can find great success in accelerating the healing process and achieving a brighter, more even skin tone with one of our treatment options.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

This type of scarring affects the tone of your skin. It is most common in patients with darker skin and acne, but it can also be caused by sun damage or irritation. These scars are dark red or brown spots in the skin, which create an uneven tone. While they can fade naturally over time, specific treatments to restore an even tone can greatly improve this condition in just a few appointments.

Stretch Marks

Most of our patients are surprised to learn that their stretch marks are also classified as scars in the medical world. Stretch marks often develop during rapid bodily changes, such as weight gain, growth spurts, or pregnancy. They can affect the arms, thighs, abdominal area, hips, buttocks, and even the chest and breasts. We offer treatments that can tighten stretched skin and fade stretch marks to achieve a smoother texture and appearance.

Which Treatments Are Available?

We’re proud to offer a range of treatments and want to help every patient find the best possible option. We offer some treatments which involve zero downtime as well as more invasive procedures, such as surgery, which require some downtime. In general, we recommend that all of our patients practice good sun protection after any treatment and follow their doctor’s instructions for recovery closely to ensure the best results possible.

Laser Treatment

Laser treatment is an excellent scar reduction treatment due to its fast-acting nature and positive results. We often use this treatment for vascular scars, which can be significantly faded when laser treatment is combined with good sun protection habits. Laser treatment can also be the best treatment for some post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation scarring. In addition, laser resurfacing helps rejuvenate your skin by removing the outer layer of skin.

Skin Resurfacing

We offer a variety of skin resurfacing treatments that can improve the appearance of almost every type of scar. Some less intensive options, such as microdermabrasion, use exfoliation to help accelerate the process of scar fading. More intensive options include microneedling, which stimulates new collagen in the skin, and chemical peels, which remove the top layer of skin and reveal fresh new skin underneath to help fade scarring.

Silicone Dressings

Some patients may be ideal candidates for silicone dressings, which can be applied to some wounds during the early healing process to reduce the risk of scarring. These clear, sticky dressings are considered less traumatic for the skin and are able to pull the edges of the skin together to create a more compact scar. Once the scar is healed, you can decide whether you want to pursue further scar reduction, and our team of experts can recommend the best treatment.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers–which are usually created with a natural substance such as hyaluronic acid–can raise sunken scars to the level of the rest of the skin. These fillers are often used to improve the appearance of acne scars on the cheeks, chin, and jawline. In addition to fading scars, this treatment can address signs of aging by restoring youthful volume to the face.

Topical Medications

Many types of scars can be faded or blended into the skin with a simple topical treatment. By applying a cream to the scar once or twice per day, most of our patients see a dramatic improvement in the scar’s color. This treatment is most often used for flat, discolored scars such as hyperpigmented areas. However, our patients have experienced great success in treating mild to moderate keloid scars with topical medications. This option is one of our least-invasive treatments.

Surgery

For some patients, surgery to improve the appearance of their scar is the best option. This is especially true for patients who have large scars or uneven scar tissue that can be improved with plastic surgery or Mohs Surgery, which is typically used to remove skin cancer. Our doctors can evaluate you for surgery and help you determine whether this option is right for you.

What Can I Expect?

When you choose to pursue treatment at our professional office, our staff is ready to answer any questions you may have at each stage of treatment. Every patient’s experience is different, but here is a brief idea of what you can expect when you choose to reduce scarring with one of our top-quality treatments:

Consultation

We always begin with an initial consultation, which allows us to examine your scar and recommend one of our many treatments. Our recommendation for treatment is based on the scar type, your skin type and tone, and any other cosmetic goals you may express, such as reducing wrinkles or improving overall skin texture.

Some procedures, such as surgery, require only one appointment. Other treatments require 2-8 appointments to produce final results. Once you are approved for treatment, our doctor will give you a specific list of instructions to help you prepare for your appointment.

Treatment

While we offer a variety of treatments, almost all of them take less than one hour to reduce the appearance of your scar successfully. Depending on the type of treatment and your skin’s sensitivity, you may be given a topical or local anesthetic to ensure your comfort during the appointment. Our doctor will explain the treatment process and give you detailed instructions to follow during recovery.

Results

You may see some improvement in your skin immediately, especially if you chose a skin-resurfacing treatment such as microdermabrasion or microneedling. However, most results develop over time as the skin heals and the scar fades. Our doctors will recommend a treatment plan based on your cosmetic goals and ideal image. Once your treatment is complete, you will notice a visible difference in your scar, which should be smoother, less discolored, and less noticeable. Best of all, you should feel a new confidence in your appearance thanks to your scar reduction treatment.

What is Acne?

Acne comes in many different forms and it can show up on virtually any part of the body. Blackheads and whiteheads may be the most well-known form of acne, but cysts and nodules can be the most painful and frustrating. Different types of acne are also more prone to scarring than others, but it can depend on whether you pick at your skin.

Treating Acne

Cosmetic dermatology, in the case of acne, is finding the best treatment or combination of treatments for your needs. The goal is to help you clear your skin with as little damage done as possible. This may be through one treatment, such as a medical-grade topical, or it may be through a combination. We will work with you to find the best treatment and help you see skin you love in the mirror. 

Acne Scars

When acne forms, the pore becomes inflamed. This causes the pore to swell, which can cause the bacteria to spread through breaks in the pore wall. This creates bigger lesions, which can make your acne worse. It also causes a scar to form once the blemish has cleared up. 

Acne scars are often just as bad for your self-esteem as the acne breakouts were. Scarring can be difficult to cover with makeup, and if you find yourself dealing with the aftereffects of acne breakouts, then you may want to consider visiting a cosmetic dermatologist.

Treating Acne Scars

Acne scars form in different ways, including keloid and depressed scars. Each scar type may require a different treatment, so your treatment options can be discussed when you visit us for your consultation. Our dermatologist can examine your skin and recommend the best treatment option based on your skin type and scar type.

Aging/Rejuvenation

As time passes, your body’s production of important substances declines. Skin loses support and structure, resulting in fine lines, volume loss, and wrinkles. Injectables, radiofrequency light therapies and more may be recommended to achieve a more relaxed appearance.

Aging Hands

When it comes to getting older, many people claim that the hands reveal a person’s true age. However, injectables and laser treatments may help tighten skin, minimize imperfections, and promote targeted volume increases.

Broken Capillaries

Broken capillaries are enlarged or broken blood vessels that may occur on most areas of the body. They often appear as red lines or squiggles and may be associated with overall redness, but laser therapy may help manage and reduce the appearance and promote a refreshed complexion.

Brown, Sun, or Age Spots

Brown spots or age spots may occur from a variety of reasons, but one of the most common is sun damage. These spots may pose no threat to health, but it is important to seek the care of a cosmetic doctor like Dr. Ip for a professional opinion. She may recommend laser therapy, facial treatments, skin care products, or similar options.

Dull Skin

Dull skin is skin that does not appear bright or healthy. It is often a result of a buildup of excess dead skin cells. It may be at least partly caused by poor skin care habits. A variety of treatments, such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion, are available to help remove excess dead skin cells and encourage cell turnover.

Excessive Sweating

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a frustrating condition that causes an above average amount of sweating. However, injectable treatments, such as Botox and Xeomin, are able to block the signals that cause sweating. Fractora, fractional radiofrequency can permanently reduce or stop excess sweating.

Jaw Reshaping

Enhancing your profile may feel like it requires a surgical procedure, but injectable treatments are available to promote a redefined, sleek jawline. These injectables may achieve a smoother appearance by reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles and by adding or reducing volume.

Loose Sagging Skin

Loose sagging skin may be the result of your body not producing enough collagen or elastin. This may leave skin unsupported, but injectables provide targeted volume increases, while radiofrequency and light therapies may effectively promote the new production of important tissues.

Melasma

Melasma is a skin condition that results in brown patches on the skin, particularly facial areas. Although there is no pain or risk associated with the condition, it may be frustrating. However, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and similar options may promote more even, refreshed skin.

Redness/Rosacea

Chronic facial redness, or rosacea, is characterized by redness or potentially small bumps on the face. Although it does not pose much risk to health, if it is untreated it may worsen. It is important to seek the professional opinion of a doctor, such as Dr. Ip.

Non-Surgical Nose Job

The nose is essential to providing an appealing profile and facial symmetry. A non-surgical nose job utilizes dermal fillers to restructure and enhance the appearance of the nose without the need for an invasive surgical procedure.

Spider Veins

Spider veins are a very common occurrence, and they are small blood vessels that occur in web-like structures on the skin. They may be the result of other conditions, but a professional medical opinion can help diagnose and understand your condition as well as recommend the best treatment for you.

Tattoo Removal

Although tattoos are fairly common, some people come to regret their ink. However, tattoo removal is possible with the help of laser energy! Dr. Ip can effectively remove dark colored ink to eliminate a tattoo.

Thin Lips

Thin lips can be frustrating, and having full, luscious lips may feel impossible to achieve. However, injectable treatments allow you a non-surgical option to achieve the more balanced, fuller lips you desire.

PFB or Razor/Shaving Bumps

PFB (pseudofolliculitis barbae) are most commonly known as razor bumps. These are small red bumps, sometimes with significant inflammation, on the skin caused by trapped hairs, often after shaving. While there are creams and over-the-counter products to help manage and reduce them, laser technology offers an effective solution for smoother skin.

Under Eye Hollows/Circles

The area around the eyes can reveal many unwanted signs of aging. Saggy skin, wrinkles and under eye circles may lead you to feeling your appearance makes you look older or more tired than you feel, but skin care products, radiofrequency treatment or injectables may help.

Uneven Pigment

Uneven pigmentation or hyperpigmentation is often caused by sun damage. An uneven skin tone can be frustrating, but a variety of facial treatments or skin care products may be utilized to encourage cell turnover to promote an even, rejuvenated appearance.

Unwanted Hair

Unwanted body hair can be frustrating, and constantly shaving or waxing may feel tedious and time-consuming. Laser hair removal is one of the most popular cosmetic dermatology treatments as it effectively reduces hair growth for smoother skin.

Wrinkle Reduction

Wrinkles are one of the most common signs of aging. Injectables make non-surgical wrinkle reduction possible for a smoother appearance. Dermal fillers and neuromodulators are both effective choices, but they offer benefits for different types of wrinkles.
