Fremont Laser & Skin Care News

Holiday events, office parties, and New Year’s Eve are coming and at no other time of the year does the little black dress see so much action. I personally prefer wearing suits and bow ties to cocktail dresses. However, I am aware of the anxiety that the holidays can cause the fairer sex. My office is full of women and dozens of fashion magazines my patients bring as examples and leave behind (how else would I know what LBD stands for?).

Most people still tend to see laser skin treatments as a last result when skin care products alone aren’t delivering the results they want. The reality is that pulsed dye laser therapies, like the Candela Vbeam®, not only treat serious dermatological issues, but are now being used to touch up minor cosmetic blemishes and even as a part of a skin care regimen.

Once upon a time, a beautiful woman noticed a few wrinkles and lines on her face as she gazed into her magic mirror. Not one to welcome such distortion in her appearance, the woman summoned a wizard who specializes in derma fillers to restore her complexion to its former beauty. The wizard worked his magic using Restylane and Perlane cosmetic injectable fillers. With the lines softened and the wrinkles smoothed, she lived happily ever after.

Before LipoLite and Vaser body sculpting laser treatments emerged on the medical spa scene, the appeal of smooth, youthful curves lured many of us to the gym, changed food to a four-letter word, and had us cursing our ancestors for bad genes. If diet, exercise, or shirking your heritage isn’t making headway against stubborn areas of cellulite or excess fatty areas, LipoLite and Vaser laser treatments may just be your new fountain of youth.

It’s summer time and a little perspiration is to be expected. But for between 1 – 2% of us, perspiration isn’t only a nuisance related to warm weather or physical activity. Instead, it’s a constant struggle against embarrassing telltale shirt stains, sweaty handshakes and odor. If your choice of clothing hinges on what does and doesn’t camouflage perspiration spots and when anti-perspirants and deodorants provide minimal if any relief, you owe it to yourself to consider the only permanent solution for excessive sweating - VASER® ultrasound technology.
