Summer Skin Rx

by

Flawless. Radiant. Natural. Glowing. That’s what we want our skin to look like in the summertime. But it can take a little prep work, especially since we tend to go lighter with the makeup during the hotter months. How? Don’t worry… we’ve got you covered! Check out our Summer Skin Rx:

Everyone’s skin is different and, as such, has different needs. But one thing is certain: most of us are in need of a good clean up and a dose of active ingredients. This is what we recommend:

Clean It Up!

A Microdermabrasion treatment gently but effectively removes the outer layer of dead skin, which eliminates rough skin texture and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, scars and skin discolorations. This treatment is the perfect Summer Skin Rx for all skin types, especially acneic and maturing skin.

Brighten Up!

Kojic acid is a skin lightening product that’s derived from a byproduct of Japanese rice wine (sake). Our Kojic Acid Brightening Facial is the perfect way to get beautiful, glowing summer skin and is safe for all skin types.

Tighten Up!

Is your skin looking a little lax? Look no further than our Advanced Radiofrequency Facial. Radiofrequency energy is safe and effective for facial skin tightening and also promotes new collagen. Plumper skin = more youthful looking skin!

No matter what treatment or combination of treatments you decide to have to get your skin ready for summer, we highly recommend also using key products from the Obagi Medical product line-up we stock in the office. It’s the best way to keep your skin naturally beautiful all summer long!

Surgical Trends for Summer

by

It’s almost summer, but it’s not too late to get a little help to feel good and look great on the beach this year. Peaked your interest? We thought so! Check out these 3 cosmetic surgery procedures that will get your curves in all the right places…

1. Breast Augmentation

If you feel self-conscious in a swimsuit, uncomfortable in your clothes or if your breasts have changed as a result of pregnancy, weight loss or age, a breast augmentation may be just what the doctor ordered.

The fact is, there are many roads that lead women to breast enhancement. And we’ve got good news for every one of you: This is a procedure that provides results you can see immediately with only minimal downtime. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Bruising, swelling and discomfort for up to 2 weeks
  • Home from work for 2 to 3 days
  • Results immediate with continued improvement for up to a year!

Consult in May. Surgery in June. On the beach by July!

2. Liposuction

Do you have stubborn fat deposits that won’t go away with regular exercise and a healthy diet? Liposuction is the gold standard treatment for tummies, muffin tops, back fat, thighs, hips and more.

Liposuction is actually one of the two most popular surgical procedures every year for both men and women, according the annual statistics of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. (Breast augmentation is the other!) Here’s what you can expect:

  • Swelling, redness and discomfort (and possible bruising) for up to 2 weeks
  • Home from work for around 3 days
  • Visible results in 4 to 6 weeks, with continuous improvement for up to a year

Consult in May. Surgery in early June. On the beach in July!

3. Brazilian Butt Lift

Butt lifts have become one of the fastest growing procedures in the past couple of years. Call it the Kardashian Effect or what you will, if you’re one of the many who wish they had a little more volume in out back, this could be your perfect summer solution.

The Brazilian Butt Lift is a procedure that adds volume and creates a lift of the buttocks via fat transfer, but implants for buttock augmentation are an option, too.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Swelling and discomfort for up to 2 weeks
  • Home from work for 1 week
  • Back to normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks (3 weeks for exercising)
  • Visible results once swelling dissipates

Consult in May. Surgery in early June. On the beach in July!

How can I prolong the beauty and youthfulness of my face?

by

It’s a good question, and one that all of us who want to look good and feel good are likely to ask at some point in our lives. Thanks to modern technology, it turns out there’s a pretty simple way to slow down and even reverse the hands of time, as Dr. Davis explained earlier this month to iHeartRadio host Loraine Ballard Morrill.

Your Face in 3-D

The key to prolonging youthfulness is in understanding what happens to the face as it ages. It’s more than just lines and wrinkles that form. We age in 3-D. Deep down structurally, our facial bones can degenerate just like other bones in the body. On top of that, we naturally lose muscle and fat over time. Finally, it’s years of sun exposure we can blame for losing elasticity that we associate with youth.

Facial Fillers 101

Enter today’s facial fillers, specifically, hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. These are made in the lab to mimic the HA that is naturally found in our own bodies. HA fillers come under various names — Restylane, Juvéderm, Voluma — and are very safe and effective for restoring the facial skeleton and volume loss. We’re literally using fillers to resculpt the face to more youthful contours, not just filling creases.

Common Filler Fixes

When your face changes with age, you notice:

  • Sunken or Hollowed Eyes
  • Laugh Lines
  • Thin Lips
  • Lips Lines
  • Flat Cheeks or Gauntness
  • Undefined Jawline or Chin

If any of these concerns strike close to home for you, give us a call. We’d love to discuss your options with you! 856.424.1700

Khloe’s Got Her Chin Up with Kybella: 5 Reasons You Should Too

by

It’s got the potential to revolutionize our pursuit of perfection. So much so, it’s been called the next Botox. Recently Kybella even made Khloe Kardashian the face of their new Chin Up campaign. To note, this is about fat, not wrinkles. Curious about Kybella? This blog’s for you…

Kybella (deoxycholic acid, ATX-101) is the only injectable that is FDA approved to treat unwanted fat under the chin. This innovative technology was developed in a lab to mimic a natural molecule in our bodies that helps to breakdown fat. When Dr. Davis injects this into the chin area, it kills fat cells but, rest assured, doesn’t harm other skin cells in the area.

Still reading? Great! We’ve got 5 reasons you may want to consider Kybella treatment for yourself:

  1. Kybella is non-surgical.
  2. The treatment itself only takes 15 minutes and there’s little to no downtime.
  3. Treatment with Kybella does not hurt; nor will you be uncomfortable after treatment.
  4. Side effects? Outside of mild swelling, not really.
  5. Kybella has a 96% Worth It rating on RealSelf!

Beyond Wrinkles: The Botox Brow Lift

by

Sir Isaac Newton proved it when that infamous apple fell from the tree and onto his head: Gravity is responsible for making things fall. Unfortunately, this also applies to several aspects of our face, including the brow. When the brow begins to grow heavy and the upper eyelid starts to droop, it can create all sorts of aesthetic and functional issues:

You look angry, when you’re not.
You look tired, when you’re not.
Your eyelids feel heavy and uncomfortable.
Your vision is impeded.

While a surgical brow lift may be necessary for significantly heavy brows and drooping eyelids, thankfully, there is a non-surgical solution. It’s called the Botox brow lift. Dr. Davis was recently interviewed on CBS Philly for giving Flyer’s legend Bernie Parent’s eyebrows a non-surgical lift with Botox. His complaint? Drooping eyelid skin was affecting his vision. He got enough of a lift with Botox to improve his eyesight and make him a very happy patient.

Here’s how the Botox brow lift works:

We know that Botox paralyzes muscles. There are muscles in the brow area that pull the eyebrows up (elevators) and pull the eyebrows down (depressors). These muscles can affect brow position. By strategically injecting the depressors (the ones that pull the brow down), you can create a lift of a few millimeters, which is enough to make a noticeable difference and make the eyes appear wider and hence more youthful and alert.

Is the non-surgical brow lift right for you? You’ll never know if you don’t come in… Call today to schedule your next appointment with Dr. Davis! 856.424.1700
