Try A Deep Tissue Massage

This massage is an excellent treatment for muscle fatigue, chronic pain, muscle spasm and stiffness. It is excellent for those who prefer deep and direct pressure for relaxation and stress relief. The massage therapists use a variety of deep compressions and strokes on specific muscles, or pressure trigger points, to alleviate discomfort and tightness. This massage is recommended for those who receive massage on a regular basis and is excellent after Dads play their round of golf or tennis.

HydraFacial MD For You!

HydraFacial MD is one of the most popular skin treatments among men.

The four-step process includes:
1. Deep cleansing
2. Exfoliation (lifting dead skin cells)
3. Extractions (cleans out pores)
4. Soothing hydration

This quick and gentle treatment will improve the overall tone and texture of your skin. As an added bonus, you will notice it is much easier to get a closer shave since your skin’s surface will be smoother. If you have facial hair, this treatment will deep-cleanse and lift the dead skin cells and hydrate much more effectively than a facial.

Why would a man need a Hydrafacial MD?
•  Skin damage from daily shaving

(Remember, you’re dragging a razor across your face!)
•  Coarse facial skin
•  Large pores
• Clogged pores, leading to blackheads, which leads to pimples
• Excess sun damage
• High testosterone also means more skin oil
• Dry skin
• Unforeseen skin problems

Men will see substantial results with this procedure. Contact us to learn more. 

Plastic Surgical Procedure Of The Month

BLEPHAROPLASTY (EYE LID LIFT)

 

Grab Those Summer Shades, Lift Those Lids!

Summer is practically here! Many people love the days of summer, being outside soaking up the rays and looking fabulous in their shades. But did you know that summer can be the perfect time to have your eyelid lift?! You are already wearing sunglasses the majority of the time so why not take advantage of it and get those lids lifted!

 

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a procedure to remove skin and sometimes fat from the upper & lower eyelids. By addressing loose skin and fat around the eyes, you can achieve a more youthful and energetic appearance.

Often times, insurance may cover the upper lids if the drooping or sagging is actually affecting your vision. If you feel that this is the case, we recommend that you have a visual fields test in order to determine this prior to consulting with Dr. Lazzaro or Dr. Camp. 

June is Acne Awareness Month

Clear Skin Is Only A Treatment Away

 

Don’t forget about the graduates in your life!

Forever Clear BBL makes a great grad gift!

 

BBL for acne – Forever Clear BBL is a cutting-edge acne treatment that uses the power of light to comfortably and effectively clear acne without creams or medications. BBL is the world’s most powerful device, delivering light energy deep into your skin to help treat acne and leaving you with clear, healthy, radiant skin.

The way it works is that the skin is first treated with a Blue BBL light to eliminate acne-causing bacteria at its source, deep down in the pores. The skin is then treated with Yellow BBL light to reduce the inflammation and acne-associated redness to give you healthy, luminous skin.

 

For an added benefit, the skin is then treated with infrared light in rapid, gentle pulses to initiate the body’s natural healing process.

Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in the body and it’s what keeps your face looking vibrant and youthful. However, starting at the age of 20, dermatologists estimate that collagen production decreases by 1% each year. No need to panic because we’ve got you covered with the best ways to stimulate collagen growth on your face.

1. Hydrate
Drink a lot of water. Every day. Simple, but effective. Keep your body hydrated and your skin will, in turn, stay hydrated as well. This is important for collagen production because hydrated skin provides a proper base for improved collagen growth.

2. Facial Massage
Facial massage is a great way to stimulate collagen production because it increases circulation and blood flow, which is essential. Let the estheticians show you how during your next facial! At home, try using a moisturizer or your favorite ZO facial cream while you massage for a relaxing, moisturizing experience.

3. Nourish
Another no-brainer for skin health in general. Nourish your body with the right foods. This includes cutting back on sweets because sugar is not collagen’s friend. In addition, increase your intake of vegetables and fruits. Reach for foods high in vitamin C, as it can improve collagen production. Some vitamin C superstars include broccoli, oranges and spinach.

4. Microneedling with PRP

Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling penetrates the skin using

micro-fine needles to boost collagen production in the skin. This is a minimally invasive procedure that provides incredible results. With the addition of PRP (Platelet-Rich-Plasma), you can really take the treatment to the next level. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds by producing new collagen and elastin. PRP represents a way to enhance the healing of your skin cells while increasing the growth factors of your skin. The two therapies work in synergy to create a treatment that brings better results than each part could alone.
