| Can't Stand the Heat? |
|
| Regardless of the temperature outside, Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a debilitating problem for many of our patients. Although the treatment options are effective and growing with the advent of Botox treatments, topical, and oral agents, for some there is a need for a more permanent resolution. Now using Vaser Ultrasound technology, a simple, in-office procedure performed under local anesthesia offers patients permanent reduction in underarm sweating. Please ask about this great technique upon consultation. | |
| Summer Coming to an End |
|
| Just as we were all getting used to the beautiful weather, the sun sets on another great summer. Unfortunately, the sun damage stays with us. Fall is the time to rid of those brown and red patches, fine lines, and widened pores that steal the luster out of our skin. Photofacials and Fraxel treatments are the best way to ensure smooth clear skin this winter. With continued advancements in these rejuvenating technologies, there is truly no reason not to be wearing your best face! | |
| Summer heat clogging those pores and giving you acne bumps? |
|
| Try our Isolaz Acne Treatment and Pore Purification to ease your way into autumn. Using a combination of Pulsed Light and pneumatic suction, the Isolaz Laser Facial painlessly and immediately drains every pore in one’s face while reducing the inflammation of acne. In a 10 minute treatment that causes only mild, temporary redness, patients can reduce the size of their pores, decrease breakouts, and cosmetically enhance their skin. | |

Dysport gets FDA approval
The first competition for name brand Botox in the United States has had a weak start to date. As a similar chemical compound to Botox (Botulinum toxin type A), Dysport has not offered any differences in the efficacy of wrinkle treatment in our practice. Although we have found it to “kick in” a bit faster than Botox, its longevity of effect has proven to be significantly less. Given the long history of safety and efficacy of name brand Botox, Dr. Frank remains loyal to his use and trust of the original product. Fraxel’s NEW Dual: Restore Laser Platform An upgraded version of the traditional technology that should add quicker treatment times and better efficacy in helping skin dyspigmentation. In Dr. Frank’s opinion, the Fraxel, although an excellent treatment for global skin resurfacing, scars and fine lines, remains a 2nd line treatment for skin discoloration, solely. Photofacial and chemical peels, in our practice, still remain the most effective and cost efficient means of treating these conditions. Thermage CPT Platform An upgraded version of the Thermage NXT, the CPT device adds a vibrational treatment tip to help patient discomfort. Additional revisions in heat distribution will test its supposed increased efficacy in both facial and body contouring and skin tightening. Stay Tuned! Dr. Frank is regularly working with new technologies both in practice and for research studies. Please inquire about any updates that we have to offer in our technologic armamentarium. | |
