[Transcript]

Hi, it’s Angela. And today, I want to talk about how you can give your skin a golden treatment at home.

We offer the 24-karat sheet mask available for retail. We’re taking orders at info@daviscps If you’re interested in purchasing those, don’t hesitate to give us an email, but in the interim, because I can’t see you, I’m going to share with you how you can create your own golden treatment at home.

So what I’ve done today to prep my skin, to give it like a thorough de-greasing, I’m using the Ready, Set, Glow Pads, that video you are familiar with, and once I swipe with the pads, that’s just going to give me like a mini chemical peel. And this is one of my favorite golden masks that I like to apply.

Now, to do this at home, all you would need, is three cups of yogurt, plain yogurt, three tablespoons of raw honey, and a teaspoon of saffron.

Saffron is a spice that offers medicinal properties. It’s great at alleviating discolorations, skin ruddiness, and it’s also good for acne. And if you want to increase the brightening component of your golden sun mask, what you can do is add some lemon juice.

So you’re going to leave the mixture on for about 30 minutes. Go ahead and multitask, that many of us are doing right now.

And once you’ve rinsed, your skin is gonna look so dewy, and golden, and bright. It is going to be amazing because, remember, your skin is your best accessory.

Once you apply the golden mixture to your face, feel free to take it down to your neck and your decollete, and then allow it to sit for 20 to 30 minutes, while you’re multitasking, or today, I decided to read a book.

Stay tuned for the reveal of the golden treatment. Well, I just removed the golden treatment, and my skin feels and looks hydrated, dewy, brighter. If you would like information on how you can get the golden treatment at home, again, you can reach out for virtual consultations or recipe information.

I honestly can say, I feel that I did achieve the golden glow. You be the judge. Remember, your skin is your best accessory.

Dr. Steven Davis of Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery in Cherry Hill, New Jersey wants to ensure the comfort of all patients, which begins with education. We hope our video series can provide useful information for those with upcoming appointments or interested in the behind-the-scenes action of plastic surgery.

When Creams Won’t Help Your Stretch Marks, Consider One of These In-Office Procedures

by

If it’s not heartening to hear that stretch marks are extremely common, there’s this: Even supermodels get them. Chrissy Teigen caused a stir a couple of years back when she posted a video of her post-pregnancy stretch marks on her Instagram story.

Stretch marks are most likely to crop up during and after rapid body changes, like weight gain or loss, a growth spurt, and, of course, pregnancy. In fact, a 2015 study found that more than 50% of women developed stretch marks while pregnant.

And while they can appear anywhere on the body, stretch marks are most likely to surface in spots with larger fat deposits, such as the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and breasts.

So, what can you do about them? You may have noticed there’s an abundance of stretch-mark creams. Trouble is, stretch marks result from damage below the skin. Basically, they’re scars that occur when collagen and elastin in the dermis are damaged. So no topical product’s going to effectively diminish or remove your marks.

But that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with yours. There are a number of in-office procedures available at Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery. Here’s a look at three of the most effective ones.

When Creams Won’t Help Your Stretch Marks, Consider One of These In-Office Procedures

Microneedling

You may be familiar with facial microneedling from your favorite aesthetician, where the procedure helps stimulate collagen production to minimize wrinkles. That same process can help dramatically reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

Tiny needles are rolled across the stretch marks, creating microscopic injuries along the way. While that may sound torturous, the procedure is relatively painless. (The needles are really tiny.) And the “injuries” are triggering the body’s wound-healing response, which entails boosting its production of collagen and elastin.

Improvement won’t come in a single session; you’ll likely need several treatments to achieve your desired results. But, there’s no downtime. And once your stretch marks are diminished, they’ll stay that way.  You’ll see our aesthetician a few weeks in a row, and you’ll have a plan in place with her from the start.

Lasers

Another way to treat stretch marks is lasers – there are primarily two kinds that we use, pulsed dye lasers and fractional resurfacing lasers. The latter works by targeting the hyperpigmentation in stretch marks, directing pulses of light energy at blood vessels.

Pulsed dye lasers produce the best results in newly formed stretch marks. You may need three to five treatments to fully reduce the redness and halt your stretch marks’ progression, but the procedure is fairly quick and painless.

We can also use a fractional resurfacing laser – which works much like microneedling, creating precise and controlled wounds in the stretch marks in order to increase the production of collagen and elastin.

It’s considered the gold standard treatment for older and wider marks, especially those on the hips and thighs, helping to both narrow the marks and improve the overall texture of the skin. Similar to the other procedures, you’ll need three to five treatments.

Both types of lasers are considered to be safe and effective to use on all skin tones.

KYW In-Depth Interview: Plastic Surgery During COVID-19 Pandemic

by

Dr. Davis of Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery in Cherry Hill, NJ discusses plastic surgery during COVID-19 pandemic.

For a long time, elective plastic surgery procedures were put on hold as part of coronavirus restrictions. And that mean that a lot of plastic surgery was put on hold. But that option has been back on the table for a while now, and we discuss what kind of demand there’s been for plastic surgery since elective procedures were allowed to continue.

“People call and say, I saw myself on a Zoom call.”
Dr. Davis talks about the new normal and Plastic Surgery During COVID-19 is a game changer for the industry.

Identifying the “Zebra”

by

Throughout years of medical school training, Dr. Steven Davis has been involved with the plastic surgery community for over 25 years. And with that training comes what many consider most important; experience.

A truly experienced plastic surgeon is one that doesn’t just accept the go-to recommendations. Always referring back to what is typical and “normal” is not always the best way to proceed. Our Cherry Hill, NJ plastic surgery center offers innovative solutions that many other surgeons may overlook.

When you work with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon, identifying the “zebra” comes naturally. You shouldn’t walk into a practice expecting a “one-size-fits-all” suggestion! They can be both unsafe & invective; tune in to learn why.
