About Face Skin Care

These skin care products are designed to work together to flush-out pores, clear, heal and prevent break-outs. Meanwhile, the skin is kept hydrated and protected from environmental damage.

Porification Face Wash is specifically formulated to help clear oily and acne-prone skin. Ultra-pure 10% Glycolic Acid is combined with 2% Salicylic Acid to form a pore-cleansing power-house that no pimple, blackhead, or whitehead can withstand. Specially designed to accelerate the removal of dead skin cells that can interfere with the proper oil drainage of the skin, Porification Face Wash helps to reduce the number of active acne blemishes (papules & pustules) and blackheads (comedones) while promoting the skin’s overall healing time.

Porification Body Wash promotes healthy, acne-free skin anywhere on the body! Extra-strength Benzoyl Peroxide works to minimize the occurrence of any clogged pores, while calming Aloe Vera keeps irritations and promotes rapid healing. Your skin is left clean, and free of pore-clogging dead skin-cells and impurities.

Porification Potion is a concentrated acne treatment designed to eliminate and prevent clogged pores. Utilizing the antibacterial properties of Benzoyl Peroxide, our Porification Potion is an intense, lightweight formula that penetrates deeply to banish the source of your acne, preventing and correcting breakouts and blemishes. An extra-strength concentration of Benzoyl Peroxide keeps black-heads, white-heads, and pimples of all variety at bay, while improving skin texture and clarity.

Porification Moisturizer is ideal for the acne patient who requires a light moisturizer. This formulation is non-comedogenic and safe to use on even the most sensitive skin. To help impart smooth, soft skin, Vitamins A, C, E, Co-Q10 and Green Tea Extract are also included.

Porification Pads are a convenient and easy way to keep your skin clear. Just a swipe of these pre-medicated pads removes excess sebum off the skin while depositing 15% ultra-pure Glycolic Acid, resulting in clearer, softer skin. In addition to the exfoliating/cleansing effects of the 15% Glycolic Acid, your skin receives added benefit from the Witch Hazel (toning) and liposomal vitamins A, C, E, Co-Q10 and calming Green Tea Extract ingredients that are also included in the pads. Although meant to complement your Porification skin care regimen, these pads can be used alone, and are great for on-the-go cleansing.

The "Porification Kit" is geared specifically towards keeping pores clean and clear, and does not include a designated sunscreen on purpose. Because there are so many different (wonderful) sunscreen versions available, we recommend that all patients definitely use an SPF in conjunction with Porification products, however there is flexibility with the type of sunscreen used, and each patient is able to choose one that fits their specific preferences.

These state of the art laser skin-treatments utilize Broadband Light to destroy the surface, unwanted blood-vessels that accompany Rosacea. Although there is no permanent cure for Rosacea, BBL is an effective treatment for managing the condition. Patients can go through life with normal, healthy, even colored skin.

Our Rosacea treatments work by exposing the compromised skin to intense pulsed light which destroys the numerous surface veins that make up Rosacea. The net result is the reduction of surface redness, broken blood vessels, splotchy skin color, and sun-spots.

On average, 3 to 4 IPL/BBL treatments are needed to clear-up current Rosacea treatments, with another treatment recommeded about once a year for maintennance purposes.

Most patients describe the treatment as feeling similar to a quick rubber-band snap against the skin. Although not neccesarily a pleasant sensation, the treatment is over so quickly that everyone has an easy time getting through it. For the more sensitive, taking an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory (such as Aleve or Motrin) 30-45 minutes before treatment can help alleviate any discomfort.

Unfortunately, these treatments do not permanently cure Rosacea, and instead they are just a way to beautifully manage it. Maintennance treatmets will be needed, but the frequency will depend largely on how you care for your skin in the meantime. Those with Rosacea should avoid any known triggers, such as sun exposure, spicy food, red wine, and over-heating.

JUVÉDERM XC is a smooth gel filler that is used to instantly smooth away wrinkles and create volume. With just one treatment, you’ll get smooth and natural-looking results that last up to a year. JUVÉDERM XC is manufactured using HYLACROSS technology, creating a smooth-consistency gel. It is infused with lidocaine to improve comfort during treatment. With JUVÉDERM XC you get the results you expect with the improved comfort you want.

JUVÉDERM XC injectable gel temporarily adds volume to facial tissue and restores a smoother appearance to the face.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in all mammals that helps to hydrate and add volume to your skin. In addition to its use as an aesthetic treatment, hyaluronic acid has also been used for more than 20 years for injection into arthritic joints to aid movement as well as for eye surgeries and wound repair.

JUVÉDERM Ultra XC and JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC injectable gels are indicated for injection into the mid to deep dermis (below the outer layer of skin) for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (the creases running from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth, aka smile lines or parentheses) .

Your healthcare provider eases JUVÉDERM XC injectable gel into the skin using a fine needle to temporarily fill in and augment the treatment area and smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as "smile lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds) and "marionette lines" (oral commissures) . Juvederm temporarily adds volume to the skin and gives the appearance of a younger, smoother surface.

Injections may cause some discomfort during and after the injection. The smooth consistency gel of JUVÉDERM XC allows your doctor to administer it easily and smoothly. And, JUVÉDERM XC is injected directly into the skin using a fine needle to reduce injection discomfort. Additionally, JUVÉDERM XC is formulated with lidocaine for a more comfortable treatment experience. (To increase patient comfort we usually use a topical numbing cream to anesthetize the treatment area before we begin.)

On average, Juvederm results last anywhere from 6-12 months. Touch-up injections (as well as repeat injections) are usually needed to maintain optimal results.

Yes. In fact, JUVÉDERM injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has proven its safety and effectiveness in persons of color. Studies with JUVÉDERM showed no increased risk of hyperpigmentation or hypertrophic scarring in patients of color.

Juvederm XC is the ONLY hyaluronic acid (HA) filler that is FDA approved to last up to one year with one treatment!

Did we mention that it’s more comfortable for you than previous JUVEDERM Ultra Plus formulations? JUVEDERM Ultra Plus XC injectable gel is now formulated with lidocaine, a common anesthetic used to improve the comfort of treatment.

Juvederm treatments are not a "one size fits all" approach to anti-aging treatments. Because Juvederm is available in multiple formulations, a unique treatment plan can be created for each individual patient, allowing us the versatility to contour and volumize any combination of facial wrinkle/fold, cheek, lips, under-eyes, etc. Your personal needs can be more satisfactorily met due to the skin-plumping options Juvederm provides.

Utilizing the antibacterial properties of Benzoyl Peroxide, our Porification Potion is an intense, lightweight formula that penetrates deeply to banish the source of your acne, preventing and correcting breakouts and blemishes. An extra-strength concentration of 10% Benzoyl Peroxide keeps black-heads, white-heads, and pimples of all variety at bay, while improving skin texture and clarity.

Once exposed to Porification Potion, the acne bacteria isn’t just slowed down… it’s killed.

When applied to the skin, the 10% Benzoyl Peroxide formulation injects oxygen into the pore, which acts like kryptonite to p.acnes (the bacteria that causes break-outs) . Once exposed to oxygen, the acne-causing bacteria dies.

With continued applications, benzoyl peroxide can help to reduce acne lesions, including whiteheads, blackheads and pimples. Benzoyl peroxide does not, however, cure acne. Instead, it treats the acne and reduces the amount of bacteria. If you cease using the benzoyl peroxide, the acne-causing bacteria can return to your skin and your break-outs may reoccur. Improvement in skin is usually seen after 2 weeks of use, and maximum benefits are attained after 8-12 weeks of use. To use - Apply Porification Potion to the areas of your skin you’d like to treat. Apply a small amount of product to the affected area and rub in gently. When properly applied, it should be spread so thinly that despite its thick white consistency - you cannot see it on the skin. Resist the urge to load up on product for “spot” treatments. This won’t result in faster clearance or healing, and instead will irritate the over-dosed area. Use this product regularly in order to get the most from it. Remember - Porification Potion does not permanently cure Acne, and instead offers an effective way to manage and prevent it. If you stop using this product, your break-outs may reoccur.

The most important factor to incorporate into your skin care routine (IF you are experiencing dryness in conjunction with Porification products) is MOISTURIZER! When using these medical grade products, your face will not survive comfortably if it is not properly moisturized. The best moisturizers to use are very gentle and light. Regular moisturizer application should alleviate the dry, itchy effects of Porification Potion.

And if needed custom IPL spot-treatments will also be administered to quicken the clearing time of any present blemishes.

In addition to feeling good, there is therapeutic benefit to the service. However it was created for those with normal skin or those with a hormonal breakout, and is not recommended for those with severe to moderate Acne. (For patients with more aggressive Acne, they would reap more benefit from an Isolaz treatment versus a Porification Facial.)

Spider veins, or broken capillaries, are medically referred to as telangiectasias. They are dilated capillary veins less than 2mm in diameter that exist just below the surface of the skin. They can be red, blue, or purple in color and have a web-like or linear appearance.

The physics of laser spider vein removal are simple. The hemoglobin in the blood contained within the spider veins absorbs the laser heat. This heat then destroys the viability of the lining of the blood vessel, and the vessel gets eliminated.

Spider veins typically respond quite well to the appropriate laser treatment. However, it typically requires 2-4 treatments for optimal results.

Skin peels work by removing the outermost layers of the skin. Removing the outermost layers of the skin can repair the damage done by age, sun exposure and skin conditions by allowing smooth, healthy new skin to grow. Chemical peels can lighten skin affected by hyperpigmentation or improve the appearance of wrinkles and scars. They're also used to treat skin conditions like acne or remove pre-cancerous growths from the skin.

Many people get chemical peels for cosmetic reasons. Mild chemical peels remove a portion of the epidermis, or upper layer of the skin. They can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, and improve skin texture.

Many people get chemical peels to remove sun spots, age spots or other types of hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage. Mild and medium-depth chemical peels can remove sun spots, freckles and sun damage, or help the discoloration fade.

A chemical peel involves the use of a chemical solution to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers. Chemical peels increase cellular turnover which in turn refines the epidermis and treats environmentally damaged, acne prone, sensitive, dry and oily conditions.

During your initial consultation, we will discuss your cosmetic goals. To this end, a skin care regimen will be designed to help you improve and maintain healthier looking skin at home. Typically, a series of three to six chemical peels spaced three to four weeks apart is adequate to achieve most cosmetic goals.

Often described as the "Red Carpet Peel," the Illuminize Peel delivers an instant glow, with no downtime. This multi-acid, multi-enzyme peeling solution is suitable for all skin types. Those with a wide range of skin imperfections will notice a visible improvement from the Illumenize. (Skin that is dry, congested, dull, discolored, Acne prone, aging, etc.) The Illuminize Peel will enhance your skin's glow and radiance, and improve the skin's tone and texture. This is the recommended skin peel for first-time chemical peel patients or patients looking for immediate results with no downtime. (PLUS, each treatment of the Illuminize Peel earns you 25 Brilliant Distinction points!) .

The strongest of the Skin Medica peels, the Rejuvenize Peel provides deep rejuvenation for skin needing significant correction. Tighter, younger, clearer skin will be noticeable after one treatment. (Click here to see "Before and After" pictures.) The Rejuvenize Peel is an effective treatment for those with sun damage, melasma, pigmentary changes and acne scarring, with noticeable improvements occuring after the first peel. Multiple layers of damaged skin peel away with each application, best results are usually acheived after a series of 3 to 6 treatments. Formulated with a built-in anti-irritant and penetration enhancer, there is a reduction of skin irritation usually associated with stronger chemical peels, without diminishging the end results. Despite the strength of this peel, it is well tolerated with minimal downtime. (There may be up to 4 to 5 days of flaking.) (PLUS, each treatment of the Rejuvenize Peel earns you 100 Brilliant Distinction points!) .

This revolutionary new technology allows light to pass through superficial pigment containing cells, destroying unwanted pigmentation.

Photorejuvenation is a state of the art laser skin treatment that is used to improve sun damaged skin.

Photorejuvenation works by exposing damaged skin to a form of intense pulsed light. This lights stimulates collagen and elastin fibers, which result in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, brown spots and freckles. You will see a smoother skin texture, and a more even skin tone to following your skin treatments.

The beautiful thing about BBL Photorejuvenation treatments is that any body area that can be exposed to the sun is fair game for these sun-damage removal treatments. Obviously the face is the most popular area, but any other body part can also be treated; including the chest, hands, shoulders, etc.

Your skin type, color, and condition will determine how many skin treatments you will need. You will notice a signifigant amount of clearance after just one treatment, however subsequent treatments may be needed to remove older, deeper sun damage.

There is no down-time with BBL treatments, and right after treatment you can go back to your every-day life. Immediately after treatment, your face may feel warm and look a little pink, however these things will pass within an hour or two. Treated sun-spots will start to darken right away, and within the course of the following few days they will begin to slough themselves off to reveal clear, pristine skin underneath.

Yes! About Face Skin Care is a leader in advancing this new skin technology, and these quick, effective, BBL Photorejuvenation laser skin treatments are performed daily in our Philadelphia offices.

A beam of light passes through the patient’s skin and is attracted to dark hair follicles. The laser energy is absorbed by the hair follicle, destroying all treated follicles that are in the active growth phase. Those follicles that are treated will never grow again. (Hair follicles that are not in the active growth phase will not be affected by the laser treatment, and in order to eventually treat all hairs, it is recommended to get a treatment every 6-weeks in order to follow the hair-growth schedule.)

Before a treatment, it is important to closely shave the area you'd like treated. This way, all of the laser energy is directed towards the hair beneath the skin. Do NOT pluck or wax the treatment area beforehand-- the hair follicle cannot be permanently destroyed if it is not present. Some people also like to take Aleve (or any other over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication) 30-minutes prior treatment to prevent any discomfort.

Laser Hair Removal is an ongoing process that requires multiple sessions in order to destroy all hair follicles during all their varying growth phases. In order to treat all hairs, laser hair removal treatments are preferably scheduled 6-weeks apart. The time between treatments varies per individual, and depends on the body area being treated, skin type, skin color, and responsiveness of the hair. Most people are able to achieve their desired results within 6-8 treatments.

Yes! Permanent laser hair removal treatments are one of the most popular services rendered at About Face Skin Care, and our skin care experts are extremely adept at working with all skin types.

Fraxel Skin Resurfacing Treatments are safe, non-invasive laser procedures that help smooth and improve the texture of your skin. The treatments are safe and relatively easy, without the risks, side effects or prolonged downtime of other procedures.

Smoother, fresher looking skin; Improved texture; Reduced wrinkles around the eyes; Improved appearance of acne scars and surgical scars; More uniform skin tone

Anyone can get Fraxel fractionated laser skin resurfacing, as it can be safely used on all skin types and colors. Your skin is unique — your genetic make-up, lifestyle, and personal history all contribute to how your skin looks and feels. With Fraxel skin resurfacing, a treatment plan can be developed to target your skin’s specific needs.

The number of Fraxel treatments you will need to achieve your desired results will depend on your skin type, the condition being treated, and how your skin responds to treatment. Clinical studies suggest that for most people, maximum results are realized in just 3 to 5 sessions, and are usually spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Let the experienced providers at “About Face Skin Care” guide you through your individually designed treatment regimen.

Following a Fraxel treatment, you may experience some redness and swelling. The intensity of these side-effects will be dependent on how aggressive your treatment was, your adherence to the recommended post-treatment practices (i.e. applying ice, keeping treated area moisturized, etc.) , and what your unique healing characteristics are. However, everyone’s skin is unique, and some patients have greater than expected reactions to less aggressive treatments, and others have fewer side-effects to more aggressive treatments. Other temporary side-effects can include minor itching, dry skin, peeling or flaking, and a bronzed appearance. You will be given specific instructions about what to expect for your particular treatment and how to minimize side-effects.

Not only do we provide Fraxel treatments, but our patients’ acne-scar results are consistently breathtaking! Additionally, we are forerunners in the areas of revising acne and post-operative scars, and Naomi Fenlin is frequently asked to help train other doctors, nurses, and medical practitioners on the best practices and ways to effectively use the Fraxel laser skin resurfacing treatments.

All of the skin care products you use for the first week following a Fraxel treatment should be gentle, and non-clogging. Examples of brands that offer very gentle and inexpensive skin care products are: Aveeno, Dove, Neutrogena, and Cetaphil.

Peeling and/or flaking is normal during the Fraxel healing process. Any moisturizer you use during this period should be non-irritating and non-clogging so that it can be used frequently without causing any breakouts. Please reapply moisturizer to your skin whenever it feels dry and/or tight.

Discontinue the use of your bleaching cream (Hydroquinone) while your skin is tender.

Penetrates deep into skin layers, specifically targetting concerns such as acne scarring and wrinkles.

The Isolaz Acne Laser is the only FDA approved laser that combines a vacuum with a painless laser to purify your pores. The vacuum either entirely removes the debris stuck in the pore, or brings it closer to the skin's surface where your treatment provider will be able to successfully extract it manually. No matter what your age or skin type, Isolaz Acne Treatments are a revolutionary way to help deliver you clean and clear skin.

Acne is directly related to the sebaceous glands, which are responsible for creating sebum (oil) . Our bodies naturally have more sebaceous glands on the face, neck, back, and shoulders.

Treatment times vary, however face treatment usually take between 45-60 minutes. We ask that you reserve at least an hour for your treatment, thereby allowing enough time to check-in, wash your face, and take any neccessary photos before treatment.

Everyone’s skin is different, however: Studies have shown that 85% of people who underwent an Isolaz acne treatment experience clearer skin. Isolaz clinical studies show immediate results within 24-48 hours, including reduced redness and immediate drying/flattening of the blemish. 64% of acne sufferers who didn’t previously respond to oral, topical, and other laser acne treatments reported over 75% acne clearance following Isolaz treatments. Patients had 88% clearance of papular, pustular, comedonal, nodual, and inflammatory acne after undergoing Isolaz treatments.

Typically, patients can see a visible improvement in the redness or severity of their acne after their first treatment. It's important to stick to the recommended treatment plan in order to see the full results of treatment.

Yes, you can put make-up on immediately after a treatment.

While everyone's skin is different, many patients who have not responded to other acne treatments, such as Accutane, other antibiotics, topical creams or even lasers have responded to Isolaz treatments. In fact, studies have shown that 85% of people who have an Isolaz treatment will experience clearer skin. I'm currently on Accutane (Isotretinoin) / or (another acne medication) . Can I get an Isolaz treatment? Isolaz can be performed while you are on medications, such as antibiotics. However, Isolaz should not be performed if you are currently taking Accutane. Wait at least 6-months from your last Isotretinoin dose before undergoing an Isolaz treatment. We can talk about your current medications during the consultation.

Yes, Isolaz has a high safety rating.

The Isolaz vacuum action helps loosen and extract dead and dying skin cells, dirt, blackheads and excess oil from deep within your pores.

When the Isolaz tip is placed on your skin, you will feel a painless, warm sensation. The process is repeated over the entire treatment area. In a recent clinical study, 100% of patients reported no pain during the Isolaz acne treatment. Treatment was most commonly compared to the feeling of a warm massage.

TruSculpt is a breakthrough RF (Radio Frequency) technology that delivers deep heating to body fat for body-sculpting and fat-reduction.

Yes, TruSculpt can be used on all skin types. Consult with your practitioner beforehand.

Your About Face Skin Care treatment provider will determine if treatment is right for you during a one-on-one consultation. Typically patients have a BMI less than 30 and have unwanted fat in different areas of the body.

Your About Face Skin Care treatment provider will discuss with you the number of treatments based upon the area (s) you wish to have treated and your desired results. Typically a patient will receive 2-3 treatments. Each treatment should be 4-8 weeks apart.

Your About Face treatment provider will identify with you the specific areas of the body to be treated. After a brief pre-treatment preparation, they will apply the truSculpt handpiece to your skin which will deliver a pulse of RF energy. Each pulse will last on average 4 minutes; upon completion, the handpiece will move to an adjacent area to begin pulse. The entire treatment will last for 1 hour or less.

TruSculpt delivers RF energy and uses the body’s natural system to break down fat cells in treated areas. This process takes anywhere from 4 weeks to 3 months. A patient may begin to see results anytime during that period and beyond.

The TruSculpt system is designed to provide a safe and comfortable procedure. Typically, there is no downtime after the treatment though patients may experience mild discomfort. Side effects can include redness, sweating, and mild tenderness in the treated areas. Usually this resolves within a few hours.

Shaping eyebrows is a simple thing that can bring about big changes to a person’s overall look. Short of plastic surgery, eyebrow shaping can do more to improve someone’s appearance than most other beauty treatments. Whether you are young or old, high or low maintenance, taking the time to properly shape your eyebrows is well worth the effort.

Eyebrows that have been properly shaped bring balance and proportion to the whole face. Facial features can be softened or accentuated just by shaping the brows. In general, larger features look better with a slightly, fuller eyebrows, where as smaller features are balanced by thinner eyebrows.

A well-groomed eyebrow can give a polished look to a person’s appearance. Women who have nicely shaped eyebrows look put together, even without makeup.

Eyebrows usually grow back fairly quickly. After shaping, they will likely grow back within months, unless they have been repeatedly tweezed for years. It’s easy to try a new look by changing the shape of the eyebrows, and it doesn’t entail the commitment of a more drastic change of appearance such as chopping off long hair.

It’s best to go to a professional esthetician when you are shaping your eyebrows for the first time. You can describe what you want or bring in photos, but keep in mind that she will have to work with the eyebrow hair that you have. It’s easier to maintain your eyebrows at home by tweezing after they have been professionally shaped. If you would like to wax at home, have several professional eyebrow waxings done until you are very comfortable and familiar with the process.

Full results will be seen within 48-hours. (The area between your brows may continue to improve for up to a month.)

Visible results may last up to 4-months. Your own results may vary, be sure to talk to your injector about what you can expect and when to schedule your next appointment.

Only licensed and trained healthcare professionals have the experience necessary to administer Botox Cosmetic treatments. Allergan, Inc., the maker of Botox Cosmetic, is the only source for healthcare professionals to purchase authentic product.

Thermage is a safe, non-invasive, clinically proven way to tighten, smooth, and contour skin for an overall younger looking appearance. Through the stimulation of your own collagen, improvements in your skin tone, contour and texture will occur naturally. Thermage procedures can help smooth, tighten and deep contour skin for an overall younger looking appearance, without surgery. The Thermage skin tightening treatment delivers natural looking results with little or no downtime - on all skin colors, all body parts, in one single procedure. Since the Thermage procedure is non-invasive, you can return to your normal activities immediately.

To best understand how Thermage works, you need to know a few facts about your skin. The facial skin is made of three distinct layers: a visible layer on the surface called the epidermis, a collagen-rich underlayer beneath the surface called the dermis, and an inner layer beneath the dermis call the subcutaneous layer (also known as the fat layer) , which has a web of collagen fibers running through it. The collagen in these three layers breaks down from a variety of different causes including genetics, sun exposure, smoking, weight loss, and just plain old aging. As you age, the collagen in your skin breaks down resulting in wrinkles and sagging skin. Skin treatments that work on just the surface can’t do anything to restore the collagen in the under-layer or the inner-layer of your skin. Thermage is the only non-invasive procedure available that tightens and renews your skin’s collagen in all three layers. The actual technology that Thermage harnesses has been used in many medical applications for decades. However, it is the unique method of controlling and applying the technology that puts Thermage in a class of its own. Thermage’s unique patented radiofrequency (RF) technology safely heats your skin’s under-layer and the web of collagen in the inner layer, causing an immediate tightening as well as improved tone and texture. Existing collagen is stimulated, and new collagen begins to grow which helps skin look younger. Due to continuing new collagen growth, these improvements will become even more noticeable for the four to six months following treatment. The net result of a Thermage laser skin tightening procedure is more youthful looking and feeling, tighter skin.

Only one! Your single Thermage treatment will provide you with full tightening and contouring benefits. With no downtime, you can jump right back into your life with your newly tightened, younger-looking skin.

Each time the Thermage device touches your skin, you’ll feel a brief cooling sensation, followed by a deep but brief heating sensation, followed by another cooling sensation. The heating sensation is a sign that the deep layers of your skin are reaching effective temperatures for tightening, while the cooling sensation protects the surface of your skin. Throughout the procedure, your treatment provider will ask for feedback on the level of the heat sensation to help balance your comfort with maximum results.

Yes! Each cosmetic procedure has it’s own benefits, but Thermage is a great non-invasive choice for skin smoothing, tightening, and contouring. During your consultation, your treatment provider will discuss with you which procedure (s) may be best for you, and your desired results.

Thermage laser treatments address skin laxity issues not fixed by the liposuction procedure. Thermage can help reduce possible surface irregularities and help smooth body unevenness. Your skin itself will feel tighter and smoother, and you can expect to benefit from renewed collagen production.

Not only do we provide Thermage laser skin tightening, but due to Naomi Fenlin’s experience with this treatment, she is often requested to teach other doctors, nurses, and health-care providers how to best utilize Thermage technology and practices for their patients as well!

Explained in the simplest terms, Fraxel laser skin resurfacing tricks your skin into creating new skin to replace the damaged, or targeted areas, resulting in natural skin rejuvenation that takes years off your appearance. Fraxel skin resurfacing is a safe, non-invasive laser skin treatment that removes years from your appearance without the risks, side effects or prolonged downtime of other procedures.

Anyone can get Fraxel fractionated laser skin resurfacing, as it can be safely used on all skin types and colors. Your skin is unique — your genetic make-up, lifestyle, and personal history all contribute to how your skin looks and feels. With Fraxel skin resurfacing, a treatment plan can be developed to target your skin’s specific needs.

The number of Fraxel treatments you will need to achieve your desired results will depend on your skin type, the condition being treated, and how your skin responds to treatment. Clinical studies suggest that for most people, maximum results are realized in just 3 to 5 sessions, and are usually spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

Following a Fraxel treatment, you may experience some redness and swelling. The intensity of these side-effects will be dependent on how aggressive your treatment was, your adherence to the recommended post-treatment practices (i.e. applying ice, keeping treated area moisturized, etc.) , and what your unique healing characteristics are. However, everyone’s skin is unique, and some patients have greater than expected reactions to less aggressive treatments, and others have fewer side-effects to more aggressive treatments. Other temporary side-effects can include minor itching, dry skin, peeling or flaking, and a bronzed appearance. You will be given specific instructions about what to expect for your particular treatment and how to minimize side-effects.

Not only do we provide Fraxel treatments, but our patients’ results are consistently breathtaking! Additionally, we are forerunners in the areas of revising acne and post-operative scars, and Naomi Fenlin is frequently asked to help train other doctors, nurses, and medical practitioners on the best practices and ways to effectively use the Fraxel laser skin resurfacing treatments.

All of the skin care products you use for the first week following a Fraxel treatment should be gentle, and non-clogging. Examples of brands that offer very gentle and inexpensive skin care products are: Aveeno, Dove, Neutrogena, and Cetaphil.

Peeling and/or flaking is normal during the Fraxel healing process. Any moisturizer you use during this period should be non-irritating and non-clogging so that it can be used frequently without causing any breakouts. Please reapply moisturizer to your skin whenever it feels dry and/or tight.

Discontinue the use of your bleaching cream (Hydroquinone) while your skin is tender.

The Isolaz Acne Laser is the only FDA approved laser that combines a vacuum with a painless laser to purify your pores. The vacuum either entirely removes the debris stuck in the pore, or brings it closer to the skin's surface where your treatment provider will be able to successfully extract it manually. No matter what your age or skin type, Isolaz Acne Treatments are a revolutionary way to help deliver you clean and clear skin.

Acne is directly related to the sebaceous glands, which are responsible for creating sebum (oil) . Our bodies naturally have more sebaceous glands on the face, neck, back, and shoulders.

The Isolaz technology was first introduced in 2005, and Naomi Fenlin is actually a fore-runner in the world of Isolaz, as she actually purchased the first Isolaz device ever sold in the country, and the first Isolaz 2 sold in Pennsylvania.

The Isolaz Acne Laser can be used to treat all types and colors of skin. The Isolaz technology allows itself to be carefully tailored to each and every patient’s unique skin type and color. Males and females, young and old, can all have their acne treated with the Isolaz.

The number of Isolaz Acne Laser treatments needed will depend on a wide variety of factors. Some of these include your skin type, the severity of your acne, how long you have been suffering from acne, and your personal compliance with an at-home skin care regimen. Regardless of any of these factors, we can work out a perfect treatment plan for you.

You may see some mild redness in the treatment area, but yes, after your Isolaz treatment you can go right back to your normal activities.

In a clinical study, 100% of patients noted Isolaz treatments were painless.

Isolaz can be performed while you are on medications, such as antibiotics. However, Isolaz should not be performed if you are currently taking Accutane. Wait at least 6-months from your last Isotretinoin dose before undergoing an Isolaz treatment. We can talk about your current medications during the consultation.

Yes, Isolaz has a high safety rating.

The Isolaz vacuum action helps loosen and extract dead and dying skin cells, dirt, blackheads and excess oil from deep within your pores.

Your skin will be moistened with water before the Isolaz tip is applied to the skin. Since the treatment is painless, there is no topical numbing or medication beforehand.

Once your Isolaz treatment is completed, you are free to resume all regular activities. Unlike some other laser acne treatments, your skin will not have any light sensitivities following treatment, and you are free to go on with your everyday life.

And other laser acne treatments reported over 75% acne clearance following Isolaz treatments.
