MediSpa Heartfelt Special – Dysport

February 9, 2015

 2015.February.Eblast CROPPED

Life in general is stressful, and Valentine’s Day comes with its own pressures. It’s important to learn to love yourself and let your inner beauty shine through to the outside, so don’t let stress lines steal the show. Whether you’ve got a hot date or are gathering your friends to feel the love, confidence is essential. Take a look at our MediSpa special for Dysport – a similar product to Botox injectables.

While there are several brands of competing injectables, Dysport is the same type of formula as Botox that is used to relax the active muscles that can cause lines in your face. It can be confusing, but SkinTour said it best – “…it’s like comparing apples to apples. There’s a difference between a Fuji apple and a Gala apple, but they are still both apples.”

The major differences between Botox and Dysport are:

–       Duration of effectiveness

–       Quickness of “onset” (when you actually see the lines softened and reduced)

–       Target area affected

–       Proper amount needed

Dysport doesn’t last as long as Botox, nor does it have the same power. But it does spread to a wider area, and you will see lines soften quicker than Botox. Talk to one of our certified dermatologists about what the best option would be for your desired result so you can enjoy heartfelt confidence well beyond Valentine’s Day. Call our MediSpa to schedule an appointment.

What to Do with Acne Scars

May 13, 2014

We’ve all dealt with acne in one way or another. And when we see a pimple, nothing’s more tempting than popping it right then and there to get it over with. But this somewhat simple maneuver produces a long-lasting aftermath – acne scars.

There are many types of acne scars. They can range from deep pits to angular or wavelike marks. Some may even develop hyperpigmentation or dark marks. Scars are the body’s way of repairing damage. When you see deep acne scars, it is because your skin took a huge collagen loss from an inflammation.

The easiest way to a clear face is to not pick at your acne, but sometimes acne is so severe that scarring is unavoidable. While scar creams and moisturizers do help, some people turn to lasers for a more noticeable change. Our MediSpa office provides a skin rejuvenation method that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars. We will provide you with after-care instructions like avoiding exfoliants and which skin care products can speed the healing process and maintain the health of your skin. Contact our MediSpa offices and schedule an appointment today!

If you have any questions about acne scars or about changes in your skin, please call us today at 865-690-9467. Skin health is an important part of total body wellness. Schedule an appointment with one of our board certified physicians to get your skin the care it needs so it can reach its fullest, healthiest potential.
