I have just returned from the annual SPSSCS meeting in New York City. What an incredible meeting! There were so many wonderful speakers and demonstrations this year.  It is always wonderful to have the opportunity to learn about new technologies and products.

The seminar that really got me excited was the “Treatment to Transformation” by Cool Sculpting. Cool Sculpting is a non-invasive technique that serves as an alternative to liposuction for those who are close to their ideal weight, yet have areas of fat they would like to reduce. It only takes an hour or two, depending on the targeted areas. After the treatment, patients are able to return to normal activities.   Additional treatments are safe and encouraged for further contouring. EpiCentre was the first clinic in Texas to perform this procedure and patients were already achieving great success, but with the new advanced techniques demonstrated the results are even more amazing! EpiCentre is also the only location in the area with 2 CoolSculpting machines allowing for “DualSculpting”.  The bottom line is Cool Sculpting is proven to be an extremely effective non-surgical alternative for fat reduction with little to no downtime for those who are candidates.  Amazing results can be achieved with the application of multiple cycles of CoolSculpting.  Consults are free at EpiCentre so please make an appointment to find out what CoolSculpting can do for you.

Skin Medica is a leading medical grade skin care company.  They continue to be on the cutting edge when it comes to products that improve your skin.  I have been a faithful Skin Medica user for 10 years now.  Their latest innovation is a product called Lytera.  Lytera is a brightening product that addresses the appearance of skin discoloration.  We were allowed to study it on 5 of our patients and were amazed with the results.  This is the first non-hydroquinone product that truly works to lighten and brighten the skin.  Patients see results within 4 weeks and continue to improve with regular use.  Lytera reduces the appearance of dark spots and creates a more even skin tone.  It is safe to use on all skin types and has a very cosmetically elegant formulation.  It is formulated with highly effective antioxidents.  Lytera is perfect for the patient with hyperpigmentation, melasma, age spots and sun damage.  It can be incorporated into your skin care routine to help reveal brighter, clearer, more beautiful skin.  Lytera comes in a kit with Tri-Retinol ES, Facial cleanser and Enviromental Defense Sunscreen SPF 50+.

As an introductory offer EpiCentre is selling the Lytera Kits for $190, regular cost is $250.  If you are wanting to improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, I suggest you give us a call or come by to learn more about Lytera.  I have started using it and already feel my skin is more luminous.

Here is to beautiful skin

Sciton BBL Forever Young

EpiCentre is happy to report that a new study from Stanford University Department of Dermatology cites groundbreaking findings that are as close as we’ve come to a true “Fountain of Youth”.  They have clinical evidence supported by peer reviewed science that therapy with Sciton® BroadBand Light ™ (BBL) rejuvenates gene expression to be more like youthful skin.  The study was published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology and can be found at www.foreveryoungbbl.com

BBL/IPL is a light treatment most commonly used for improving the appearance of pigment, sun spots, redness and vascular conditions.  BBL/IPL has also been shown to tone the skin, improve texture and decrease the appearance of the size of pores.  The additional good news about BBL/IPL treatments is that you have virtually no downtime.  Patients are typically slightly red right after treatment.  An initial series of treatments is needed for best results and then regular maintenance treatments have been proven to keep you looking younger.

The basic facts of the study are as follows:

1.  Patients studied were evaluated visually by 51 dermatologist who estimated the age of the patients based on close-up photos of their  skin.

2. The subject’s average actual age prior to treatment was accurately estimated by the dermatologist – however, the age of the patients following the BBL treatment routine over 8 years was estimated by the doctors to be approximately 9 years younger than their actual age.

3. Upon a series of treatments and maintenance treatments with BBL, patients enjoyed a decrease in the signs of aging and an increase in clearer, more youthful looking skin.

4. It is the first study to demonstrate BBL treatments can restore gene expression pattern of aged human skin to resemble younger skin.  We are now able to turn back time as it relates to your skin’s health and appearance.

Personally I know this to be fact.  I have worked in the skin care side of Plastic surgery for 11 years now.  The first treatment I had was a series of BBL/IPL treatments in 2002.  I have faithfully had 2-4 BBL/IPL treatments per year since then over the last 10 years.  Patients constantly compliment me on my skin.  I firmly believe that these treatments have helped me maintain more youthful skin even though I am now approaching my 56^th birthday.

EpiCentre Park Lane is happy to offer Sciton BBL treatments and we are excited to help you look your very best.
