Build More Collagen with At-Home MicroDermal Roller Treatments

February 10, 2012 dwarren

We recently mentioned Dr. Brandy’s love of Dermal Infusion with the MicroDermal Roller on our Facebook page. Many of our Facebook fans wanted to know more about the device―so, we are happy to cover this collagen-building treatment (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy) in more detail, as promised.

The MicroDermal Roller is a hand-held device with over 200 very fine bristles or needles. This gadget is designed for home use. By gently rolling it over your face, the bristles creates microscopic channels in the skin, allowing for increased absorption of your favorite topical serums, lotions and prescription-grade Retin-A.

Now Evaluating XEOMIN®—The Latest Wrinkle Remedy

January 26, 2012 dwarren

Only wanting to deliver the best products to our clients, The Skin Center Medical Spa is evaluating the effectiveness of XEOMIN®, the latest wrinkle-reducing treatment to receive FDA approval. As the largest provider of injectable wrinkle treatments in the Tri-State Area, we have been given a preview quantity to sample prior to the market-wide launch in March. And here’s what we’ve learned so far…

Xeomin (pronounced ‘ZEE-oh-min’) is gaining the attention of beauty experts everywhere— for the treatment of crow’s feet, forehead creases, frown lines (or glabellar lines) between the eyebrows. Following the grand success of Botox® Cosmetic and Dysport®, Xeomin is the third muscular neurotoxin available in the United States to fight unwanted wrinkles. And with more and more women beginning preventative wrinkle treatment injections as early as their twenties, it naturally follows that there will be more “tox-type” treatment options available to consumers.

Excess Skin After Weight Loss?

December 5, 2011 dwarren

When left with excess skin after serious weight loss, cosmetic procedures—such as a tummy tuck after pregnancy, a breast lift, arm lift or a QuickLift® mini face lift—can offer you a final step in body and facial rejuvenation before your big “reveal.”

Extreme weight loss can be one of the most thrilling, rewarding and transformational experiences of a lifetime. Whether you are returning to your pre-baby self or you have overcome years of weight gain, it’s a time for celebration. It’s time to proudly show off the results of your hard efforts to become a healthier, happier you.

Yet often, as welcome as it is, weight loss can come with a frustrating and unwanted side-effect: excess skin.

Effects from Summer Sun—Undone!

October 5, 2011 dwarren

You may have ended your summer with a golden glow, but that’s not all you’ve been getting. Excessive sun exposure is responsible for most of the sun damage that results in aging skin. Anti aging skin care begins with an understanding that UV radiation actually alters your skin’s DNA, causing wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, textural changes, broken capillaries and yes, even skin cancer.

Eyelash Growth Treatments―Fact or Fiction?

September 22, 2011 dwarren

The pursuit of longer, darker, fuller lashes can be traced back to the days of the Egyptian pharaohs more than 4,000 years ago. What began as a masking of the eyes with malachite and soot to ward off evil spirits gradually morphed into the development of mascara to attract others to the windows of the soul―the EYES. Yet, mascara alone cannot address the unfortunate fact that eye lash growth diminishes with age or may be slowed by health-related conditions.

Goodbye gravity. Hello Ultherapy®!

September 14, 2011 dwarren

Nancy talks about the benefits of Ultherapy at The Skin Center's Columbus event.

The word is out!

It’s Ultherapy® Skin Tightening—a completely nonsurgical, noninvasive face lift that works to defy gravity by treating and tightening loose and sagging skin—from within. It’s been hailed as a “futuristic anti-ager” by Self Magazine. “It’s the closest thing we’ve seen that gives facelift-like results, incision-free,” says Health Magazine. It’s received national television coverage on Extra, The Doctors, The View… and was recently featured on The Today Show on September 16th.

The Aging Process—and How to Fight It

September 13, 2011 vcapozzi

Our skin ages in two ways: through “chronological aging” over the normal passage of time and “accelerated aging” caused by accumulated damage from environmental factors like smoking, pollutants and excessive UV exposure. How well you care for your skin—at every stage of life—plays a large role in how much your skin shows the passage of time.
