Complimentary Acne Consultation

Acne is a treatable skin condition but it is vital to start an effective treatment while the acne is still in an early stage to prevent the development of permanent scarring. There are many factors that may aggravate acne prone prone skin. We will go over all these triggering factors with you during initial consultation with one of our acne specialists.

Acne is not due to dirty skin, poor skin care habits, or even in most cases what you eat. It's not an infection, but a skin inflammation caused by an overgrowth of bacteria that live normally on everyone's skin. Some sufferers may have inherited a predisposition to acne which may be worsened by hormonal changes during adolescence and by stress.

Dermavita acne treatment starts with an individual consultation that includes proper skin analysis, explanation of how genetics, stress, diet and use of over-the-counter products may aggravate your acne prone skin. Acne is a controllable skin condition but not curable. It is the controllable disorder of the follicle evolving from the buildup of dead skin cells and the increased amounts of oil that stick together and sludge up in the pores of genetically indicated individuals. The acne bacteria feed off this mixture, which leads to an inflamed condition. If left untreated it can turn to a serious inflamed stage that causes scarring and emotional discomfort.

When prescribe home care regime is combined with regular Acne Facials and Peels, it works to remove the impactions from the follicle (extraction), reduces infection and scarring, minimizing oil production and keep the skin at its best.

Since the comedone (blackhead) is formed below the surface of the skin, topical, non-penetrating cleansing products can't affect it. Acne is not caused by having a "dirty" face and can't be washed away. Only medicated products that are specifically designed to penetrate into the follicle, loosen the impactions and kill bacteria will be successful in clearing up an acne condition, control oil production and eliminate blackheads. The treatment plan requires commitment of being consistent and keeping in mind there are no "quick fixes" for acne conditions.

We will advise you on a proper skin care regime that is necessary to balance the skin and eventually control your acne. Detailed home care instructions will be given during an initial consultation.

Look younger for longer!

Retinoids, a derivative from vitamin A, are considered "The Gold Standard" in Anti-Aging technology. The new stuff coming out is promising and exciting, but the big challenge for these new ingredients is, can it measure up to retinoids? The answer is NO!

It makes sense to start it early and keep using it forever! If you use retinoids, you absolutely must use it with sunscreen (the best sunscreens contain zinc or titanium) every single morning. Remember though, it won't help with sagging and wrinkling due to loss of fat and bone. That loss of volume can be replaced with fillers like Juvederm, Voluma or Radiesse.

DR. ALBERT KILGMAN ANTI-AGING FORMULA

Retinoic Acid (Tretinoin) was first developed to treat acne. It quickly became apparent that it went beyond acne treatment to make the skin as a whole significantly smoother, brighter, and less wrinkled. In 1984, dermatologist Albert Kilgman proposed it for treatment of sun damaged skin. In 1986, Kilgman and colleagues conducted the first clinical study in which they applied 0.05% Tretinoin on the photo-aged skin of volunteers for 3-12 months.

Tretinoin improved photo-aged skin, increasing collagen formation, improving texture of the skin, elasticity and thickness. Since then, numerous clinical studies confirmed its efficiency in the treatment of chronically aged skin. The effective concentration ranges from 0.025 to 0.1% with stronger solution producing more irritation. That's why you need to introduce your Tretinoin treatment slowly and gradually increase the higher dose.

The formula is available under different brand names Atralin, Refissa, Tretin-X, Avita, Retin-A . We prefer the original Dr. Kilgman formula that is more simple with it's chemical structure and is also sold in different strengths by Obagi either in a cream or gel base.

HOW DO THE EFFECTS OF RETINOIC ACID (Tretinoin) AND RETINOL DIFFER?

Cosmetic products may contain Retinol which is a different form of vitamin A and it is much less effective than retinoic acid (approximately 20 percent weaker). Because Retinol may also be irritating in the higher concentration a majority of cosmetic products on the market contain very low concentration of Retinol and are therefore pretty useless. Many cosmetic companies often foster confusion regarding these two products in order to promote their specific formula.

Retinoic Acid (Tretinoin) helps remodel the skin, and requires a prescription, available for purchase only in medical offices and medical spas. It can not be ordered online or by phone. It requires an in-clinic consultation which we offer complimentary to our clients.

Retinol, a weaker form of vitamin A sold by cosmetic companies, does not require a prescription. Although retinol offers many benefits, it does not remodel skin.

HOW TO USE TRETINOIN?

1. Apply Tretinoin before bedtime as sunlight can destabilize its effectiveness. But beware: the result doesn't happen overnight and can take at least one month, if not longer, to see a difference in the skin.
2. Be sure to apply an SPF protection. Tretinoin sloughs off dead surface cells, removing the skin's natural protection against UV exposure making your skin more susceptible to sunburn. Stop using it about one week before going on vacation (especially the beach) and take a high SPF protection with you.
3. In order to make sure that your skin will not react harshly to a new formula, start by using Tretinoin every other day or by mixing it (half and half) with your night cream. If your skin is still dry and irritated apply it every third day for two weeks. Then use Tretinoin every other day for the next two weeks and build up slowly to daily use.
4. For some people (especially those with fair complexions, dry, or mature skin) the process might take longer. Others may be able to use Tretinoin only every other day.
5. Temporary side effects such as reddened dry, flaky, and scaly skin are to be expected at the beginning of therapy. These side effects slowly subside as the skin gets used to the product.
6. Extremes of climate tend to dry or burn normal skin. Skin treated with Tretinoin may be more vulnerable to these extremes.
7. Do not use Tretinoin if you are pregnant, think you are pregnant or are nursing an infant: No studies have been conducted in humans to establish the safety of Tretinoin in pregnant women. If you are pregnant, think you are pregnant, or nursing we do not recommend that you use this product.

It's Time To Get Busy & Gorgeous

You've found the perfect gown; now let us help you look your best in that dress!

Plan Ahead

• Give your skin a jump-start by opting for regular facials on monthly basis.
• If you have problem skin it takes time to clear it. You need to use professional products and see an esthetician regularly.
• Grow your natural lashes with Latisse!Start the product at least 2 months before the big day. Within 3 weeks, the growth can actually be measured. In 60 days, your own natural eyelashes will look as though you've had lash extensions.

Prior to the Wedding

• Pay attention to your face as well as neck, chest, and shoulders - all areas that will be exposed with your dress. Moisturize, exfoliate, use sunscreen, and schedule yourCustomized Facials a few days ahead for any possible redness to fade.
• Now is not the time to try something new. Whether it's a blemish cream or a new foundation, you could have an unexpected reaction. So even if you're the impulsive Vegas-wedding type, try to pick up your products at least two weeks before the day. And don't just leave them in their pretty packages -- patch test them to check for allergic reactions.

Popular treatments to prepare you for that special day:

• Customized Facial: This individually tailored facial provides the most appropriate combination of treatments for optimum results. It may include a combination of several treatments to address specific skin concerns, including Oxygen Treatment, High Frequency, Microdermabrasion, Vitamin and Collagen Therapy, Light Chemical Peels and more.
• Purifying Back Facial: An invigorating back treatment to exfoliate and clear impurities while restoring smooth, vibrant skin. Perfect for that upcoming special occasion that requires a backless dress.
• Eyebrow Design or Lash Tint: Eyebrow and Lash Tinting includes coloring the lashes and brows to match a new hair color or to darken light hair that blends in with your skin tone. Your eyes will appear more vibrant and your features will have more contrast.
• Makeup Design/Consultation: We recommend an initial trial sessionto determine your desired look and to ensure you look and feel absolutely beautiful on your wedding day. Service includes a customized face chart to take home. Our state-of-the-art Jane Iredale mineral makeup is available in so many colors that there's one for every complexion.
• Laser Hair Removal: Reduce unwanted hair from any part of the body. Length and frequency of hair removal visits depends on your unique needs.
• BOTOX®: Botox reduces lines on your forehead and between your brows and crow's feet. For first timers we recommend to test Botox about three months prior to your wedding date.
• Juvéderm / Voluma: Juvéderm / Voluma gives the cheeks and/or lips a fuller, more youthful appearance. Also smoothes smile and worry lines. We recommend injections at least 3-4 weeks prior to your big day.
• VI Peels: VI Peel bring great results to eliminate skin imperfections or to create that perfect skin in a short period of time. They are intense and safe peels that require little downtime.

BACK TO SCHOOL WITH CLEAR SKIN

Complimentary Acne Consultation. Acne VI Peel Purity 20% off

Fall is right around the corner - which means we'll be gearing you up to have your best school year yet.

In order to start off on the right foot, you have to roll in with confidence. And nothing says confidence like walking the halls with your head held high - showing off super-clear, radiant skin. So if you're currently spotting a blemish or two (or more), just know you're not flying solo. Now is the best time to solve the issue and we will help you conquer your complexion woes before the school year starts.

Acne is not caused by having a "dirty" face and can't be washed away. Only products that are specifically designed to penetrate into the pore, loosen the impaction and kill bacteria will be successful in clearing up your acne.

First, you need to evaluate your situation and decide "Yes! I want to do something about it". If you're battling some nasty, stubborn breakouts, book an appointment for a consultation to discuss potential treatment options and possibly starting a new skin care regimen.

Our Corrective Facials deeply cleanse, exfoliate the skin, and kill bacteria to prevent acne breakouts and usually include a light chemical peel. You may need a few Corrective Facials depending on how clogged your skin may be and how severe your acne problem is.

If you're considering extractions or a chemical peel, you don't want to wait too long, as your skin will need time to heal post-treatment. Another option to speed up the clearing process and to help with acne scars is the Acne VI Peel Purity. Keep in mind that the peeling time with the VI Peel may last up to seven days, so it is important to plan ahead.

We can help to clear your skin before school starts!

If you're dealing with cystic breakouts try icing them and apply Drying Lotion as soon as you feel a blemish forming, so the treatment has its best shot at nipping it in the bud. We know how tempting it can be to pick at blemishes, but now is the time to really crack down and avoid it. A blemish usually lasts five to seven days, but the red or dark post-inflammatory scars from picking at the blemish can linger for weeks or even months. Remember, we offer spot treatments and Cortisone injections for those deep ones that have a hard time getting to the surface.

Now is also the time to find a good makeup and concealer that work well for you - just be careful not to overdo the testing of new products. The wrong makeup irritates skin, causing more breakouts, which elevates makeup use. Invest in mineral makeup and concealers such as Jane Iredale.

No one wants to begin a new school year or first year of college with acne or inflamed skin. If you are the parent of kids with acne help them to take this first step and call us today for a complimentary acne consultation. We still have a month before school starts!

We are getting great results with Kybella at Dermavita!

Approved by the FDA as the first and only injectable to remove chin fat, Kybella stands to help millions of people who are bothered by excess fat in that area. Chin fat, medically referred to as submental fullness, has traditionally been treatable only with liposuction. Now patients can receive a quick non-invasive procedure that provides contour to the lower face and jawline.

When injected into the fat under your chin, KYBELLA® causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. Skin with good elasticity should "shrink" into place but if your skin is too lax, we won't recommend Kybella because you may be unhappy with the loose skin that remains. After the aesthetic response is achieved, retreatment with KYBELLA® is not expected.

Our experienced injector will customize your KYBELLA® treatment regimen, including how many treatments you need, based on your desired chin profile. Many patients experience visible results in 2 to 3 sessions treated one month apart.

The safety profile of KYBELLA® is well characterized. The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness and areas of hardness around the treatment area. KYBELLA® can cause serious side effects, including trouble swallowing and nerve injury in the jaw that can cause an uneven smile or facial muscle weakness.2 Tell your healthcare provider about all the medications you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Especially tell your healthcare provider if you take a medicine that prevents the clotting of your blood (antiplatelet or anticoagulant medicine).

We are getting great results with Kybella at Dermavita!

Consult with a Skin Care Specialists

Dermavita Estheticians will be happy to help you in determining your proper skin type and recommend a quality skin care product line that your skin will respond to.

Moisturize Often

As weather conditions change so does the need to assess the effectiveness of your moisturizer. During the winter it's important to use a heavier moisturizer that will create a protective layer on the skin and help retain moisture. We recommend Ceramide Moisturizer or Obagi Hydra Luxe, we can also customize a special formula just for you.

Use Sunscreen

The concept that the sun is only harmful if it is hot outside, is false. The winter sun, combined with snow glare, especially if you head East, can be extremely damaging to your skin. It's best to stay with your mineral Sunscreen and use it frequently, if exposed for longer periods of time.

Remember your Hands

As concerned as we are about our facial skin and outward appearances, we also need to remember to take care of our hands. The condition of a persons hands are a real factor in determining a person's age. The skin on the hands is much thinner than anywhere else on the body, and has fewer natural oils keeping them hydrated and youthful looking. The best hand moisturizer for winter has Shea Butter.

Use a Humidifier

Humidifiers are a relatively inexpensive and an effective way to keep moisture in your internal home air.

Don't Forget to Hydrate

Hydration is an important part of staying healthy and youthful looking. Drink as much water as is recommended.

Be Cautious of Overdoing Peels

Skin Peels are wonderful at rejuvenating skin to a youthful appearance. However, during the winter months it's important to let your Esthetician lead you to a treatment that will best suite you during this time.
