Try our new Hydrafacial!!
Call today for your appointment! |
Greetings!
Happy 2010! This new year was brought in by millions of people making a resolution to take better care of their bodies. Out of all of those people, very few will focus on the largest organ in their body: their skin. Not only does good skin care make us look better, it also helps us feel better (less irritations), and keeps us healthier (barrier against infection & disease). Good skin care is an extremely important part of our plastic surgery practice. If skin is healthy and well cared for, you look better and your surgery results are better.
Accent On Skin has recently acquired a new Hydrafacial machine to help our patients achieve better skin care results. Read below to find out how it can help you!
Also, don't forget that now is the time to have that consultation to get you ready for bathing suit season. It seems far off, but it will be here before you know it.....

Ask the Doc: Stretch Marks
Q: Is there any type of surgery or procedure that can eliminate or reduce the appearance of stretch marks?
A: Stretch marks result from irreversibly damaged skin from stretching forces (i.e. pregnancy, weight gain- either fat or muscle as in some weight lifters). A "tear" in the deeper layers of the skin called the dermis is usually the culprit. Generally, surgical removal of the stretch marks, through thigh lifts or tummy tucks is the treatment of choice for appropriate areas.
In some cases, lasers can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks if they are red in color. Finally, there are many companies promoting "body shaping technology" which claim to tighten skin and remove stretch marks non-surgically by using radio frequency technology, lasers, etc. No controlled clinical trials to date have demonstrated their efficacy. There are also no creams "clinically proven" to reduce stretch marks. The best thing to do is consult with a board certified Plastic Surgeon for advice.
