If you could remove the dead skin cells found in the outermost layer of the skin, below the surface lies a more radiant, clearer and even toned face. Microdermabrasion is one effective treatment to eliminate the lifeless epidermis. Utilizing a specialized hand piece, a practitioner will glide the wand smoothly over the skin removing the outermost layers while suction pulls the dead skin cells into a debris canister. This action occurs by small-sterilized crystals that are propelled at the skin. The treatment encourages growth of new skin cells and will improve levels of collagen and elastin. The simplicity and effectiveness of microdermabrasion is what makes this non-invasive treatment so unique. Following the 30-minute microdermabrasion procedure the skin is prepared to receive corrective and healing cosmeceuticals. These serums will be applied by the aesthetician performing the treatment and aid the effects of the procedure. Patients can see a reduction of wrinkles, age spots, fine lines and even smooth superficial acne scars with no discomfort or downtime. According to Dr. Rubaum an ENT Facial Plastic Surgeon and Director of the Laser Image Company in Redondo Beach, "Microdermabrasion is a simple lunchtime treatment used to help cell turnover immediately leaving more youthful glowing skin. "
Microdermabrasion can be done alone or combined with a chemical peel or laser treatment to enhance the results. Dr. Rubaum states, “a combination therapy of laser with microdermabrasion can more then double the effectiveness of the treatment that leads to a more positive outcome for the client. Once the procedure is completed it is very important to protect your new youthful skin with an SPF sunscreen of 30 or higher.”

Redondo Beach, California, May 14th, 2012--Can we really get the look of a facelift by injecting facial fillers? What are the filler options and who is a good candidate? As time passes and we get older the face starts to lose volume, causing skin laxity and wrinkles. Our faces start to get a hollow look around the eyes and the nasolabial folds (lines below the cheeks) become more pronounced. In the past the solution was a little nip and tuck, pull tight the existing skin and cut the excess away. This is still a viable procedure but can facial filler, such as Radiesse give a sagging face a rejuvenated look? We asked Dr. Rubaum a facial plastic surgeon and owner of the Laser Image Company, a medical spa specializing in non-invasive cosmetic procedures his thoughts. “facial fillers such as Radiesse fill the void left by the decrease of facial volume. This calcium based filler can be injected in the cheek area, lifting the saggy skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. It is an inexpensive treatment that any person can do with minimal downtime.” Because this facial filler, Radiesse, is of a thicker consistency it cannot be injected under the eyes Facial fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane can be used in the more thinned skin areas. If the eyes have saggy skin or the lips are smaller than a patient would like these fillers can used to correct this concern. These facial fillers are naturally occurring in our own bodies, draw water to the area where injected and can be removed very easily if the patient does not like the look. Patients will see immediate change in the areas where injected and can expect results to last from six months to one year. Injections can be a little painful but with the new lidocaine mixed fillers and a topical anesthetic, patients can tolerate the procedure fairly easily. Lips, with the most nerve endings will be the most sensitive. Some bruising and swelling may occur so plan your facial filler facelift with appropriate time to heal. The use of facial fillers such as Radiesse, Juvederm and Restylane give patients an effective alternative to the surgical face lift procedure. These products can’t help with that loose skin below the neck but a laser skin tightening treatment called Refirme is showing promising results.

Redondo Beach, CA, May 3rd, 2012--It has been said that non-surgical skin tightening treatments are just hype and patients are being misled to believing they can get surgical facelift results from this type of laser technology. The problem with any treatments that are offered today is that the practitioners are giving false expectations. Is this the case with skin tightening treatments or does the technology just give inadequate results? According to Dr. Rubaum, Director of the Laser Image Company in Redondo Beach who uses the Refirme laser skin system, "The results of the skin tightening laser are very consistent at our office; first we choose the correct type of patient with the skin issues where the laser is most effective. During the initial consultation we discuss how the laser works, what conditions it can help and what they can expect from the treatment.” Taking the time to educate a patient will give them a clear understanding of the procedure and the expected results. He also stated, “We frequently turn away patients with to high expectations, under promise and over deliver, if laser skin tightening is not right for them, suggest a procedure that is.” The emergence of this skin tightening technology is the result of patients looking for alternatives to surgically invasive facelifts. With no downtime, good results and budget friendly prices, patients can have the procedure monthly without missing any work. The Refirme, the skin tightening laser system by Syneron, which is used by Dr. Rubaum, uses two different types of energies to heat up the skin [dermis]. The infrared light and radio-frequency gently bulk heats the area to stimulate the body's natural processes to renew the skin's collagen foundation resulting in a tighter, healthier-looking skin. With so many places in society that offer this type of procedure how do we know which to choose? Dr. Rubaum states, “The best results occur when the appropriate technique is used, find a location that has an experienced laser skin tightening technician who takes the time to explain the procedure and does not rush you out of the room.” With cost ranging somewhere between $150 - $500 per treatment, the Refirme skin tightening procedure is an efficient, effective and inexpensive alternative to reverse the adverse effects of aging and reduce wrinkles, providing a younger looking and healthy skin for all patients. ### |

Redondo Beach, CA, May 2nd, 2012--With advancements in photofacial laser treatment technology results have improved becoming more reliable and safer for any area of the body. The removal of brown spots on the hands (sometimes called liver/age spots) will be a faded memory of the past. As a prospective patient, we will explain the Photofacial Laser technology process, how it works and what can be expected from the treatments. The Photofacial Laser targets sun damaged skin, brown and red spots and stimulates collagen to help reduce the weathered look of the hands. A Photofacial Laser hand piece is used to concentrate an intense pulse of light to the hand area which, in turn, stimulates increased blood flow and generates additional collagen to the affected area. The treatment feels like a rubber band snapping on the skin and within two weeks the dark spots will flake off to reveal your improved skin results. ### |
