Repair your Skin BEFORE Summer with the Fraxel re:pair!
Drs. Fitzpatrick and Groff are leaders in the use of Fraxel re:pair®, having performed more procedures in 2008 than any other practice in the world*.
 
Why is this so popular? Because Fraxel re:pair can give you that fresh glow by reducing wrinkles, improving texture, evening-out skin tone, and treating all types of scars. 
 
The re:pair is safe and effective for areas off the face including the neck, chest, arms, and hands.

Vincent P. Marin, MD, FACSIs Stress  
Taking a Toll
On Your Appearance?

An Interview by Monique Ramsey
 
We go and go and commit ourselves to more and more... but is all of this added stress taking a toll on our appearance? I know for me, this is definitely the case! So I sat down with Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Vincent P. Marin, MD, FACS for a little chat to find out answers and possible quick fixes.
 
In a nutshell, beyond the natural aging process, environmental stressors are one of the biggest culprits to rob us of that "youthful glow". And believe it or not, our eyes are one of the first dead giveaways of not enough sleep, poor hydration, stress, and aging in general. 
 
Don't you just hate it when someone asks you if you are tired, when you're really not?  I get this question sometimes too and I need a solution. During my one-on-one with Dr. Marin, I found out about a wonderful light-surgery option. 
 
Dr. Marin explained that the lower eyelid "is the most common area to show not only signs of aging, but stress." Apparantly, fat can build up in the area, creating a sagging, tired look that can add years (years?!) to one's appearance. Dr. Marin adds, "Now more than ever before, patients are coming in and saying that they want to eliminate that tired look.
 
By using a surgical procedure called trans-conjunctival blepharoplasty, we can greatly improve the appearance of the eyes with minimal downtime." (I like the sound of that!) During this operation, a small incision is made to remove the built-up fat in the eyelid region. This technique has the added benefit of minimal to no bruising and no scar around the eye.
 
Call LJCSC today to schedule your free consultation with one of our plastic surgeons to see if this procedure is right for you. And just think... you can achieve that rested, relaxed, youthful look before summer

Ladies in sunglassesJust because the days are longer doesn't mean you have to hide from the sun... just be skin-savvy and give your face what it needs (and deserves!)
 
SkinMedica® TNS Essential Serum™ combines the renowned growth factor serum TNS Recovery Complex® in one chamber and APS Corrective Complex™, a potent mixture of antioxidants, peptides, and other innovative anti-aging ingredients in the other chamber.
 
The result? According to Dr. Fitzpatrick, SkinMedica's founder and world-renowned expert on laser skin repair, "This is a one-two punch for skin, combining antiaging and cellular renewal that skin desperately needs. Most of us spend more time in the beautiful outdoors and are getting a longer dose of sunshine. You want to feed your skin the best nutrients to keep it looking youthful and healthy."
