You Ready For Summer?
Summer will be here before you know it and that means shorts, swimsuits,
and "fun in the sun". It also means most of us have a
lot of work to do to get summer-ready. At the Center for Cosmetic
Dermatology, we offer many solutions to help you prepare for the
up-coming summer season.
Spider veins -- most of us have them and all of us hate them. Fortunately,
there are ways to deal with them other than covering our legs 24/7.
Sclerotherapy is the number one physician's choice for minimizing
or removing unsightly veins. This treatment consists of injections
directly into the vein that scar the walls of the vein, causing
the vein to collapse or close and be absorbed into the body, Depending
on the amount of veins to be treated, you may need more than one
session. Sessions are spaced four to six weeks apart, so take this
into consideration when planning your appointments.
If you're reluctant to try sclerotherapy, you can diminish or camouflage
their appearance with several easy options. A safe, sunless, airbrush
tan, an elegant at-home self-tanning lotion, or Lycogel camoflage
makeup are available at the Center for Cosmetic Dermatology. These
choices offer you a beautiful bronze glow that rival a natural tan
without fear of damage the sun can cause. Keep in mind; even though
you have that glow, it doesn’t mean you can skip the sunscreen.
To thoroughly protect your skin, you need to apply a sunscreen of
SPF 30 or above every morning, rain or shine. When you are outside
in the sun, swimming, or actively exercising, it's important to
remember to re-apply every two hours.
With our cool, sleeveless dresses, casual shorts, and tell-all
swimsuits eliminating unwanted hair is always a summer concern.
Laser hair removal is an affordable, safe and effective treatment.
We can help you say "goodbye" to bothersome razor burn.
We suggest giving up shaving all together. At the Center for Cosmetic
Dermatology, we offer laser hair removal for nearly every area of
the body. Hair removal prices vary depending on the area to be treated
and require a series of four to six treatments spaced four to six
weeks apart. The treatment itself feels like a small rubber band
snap, but as with sclerotherapy, the benefit far outweighs the minimal
discomfort.
