Q: Could you tell us about your new “Breeze in for Botox” service?
A: We listened to our cosmetic patients and wanted to make it as easy as possible for them to come in for Botox and Dysport. Most of our patients are busy and do not have time to remember to make an appointment and then rearrange the rest of their schedule to accommodate that appointment.
We just decided to make ourselves available whenever they needed us. So every Tuesday and Thursday, we are available from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. for patients to just breeze in and walk out without wrinkles.
Q: Skin Care Wellness carries a great selection of skin care products. Do you need a prescription to purchase these?
A: Everything you see on skinwellness.com/shop/ can be purchased without a prescription. We pride ourselves on the selection of our online store. It’s definitely an advantage to our patients to be able to order online when they don’t have a chance to come by the office. We get orders all the time from patients who are overseas, on vacation or away at school that can’t live without their favorite Skin Wellness products. We also get a ton of orders from people that aren’t even patients and we’re happy to fill those as well and ship them wherever needed.
Q: You’ve recently added the Excel V Laser Skin Treatment to your practice. What are the benefits of this new treatment?
A: Excel V is a workhorse laser with many applications from melasma to sunspots, but it really shines as a laser to combat skin problems that are vascular in nature like spider veins, facial telangiectasias (veins), rosacea redness and chronic sun damage.
Q: What is the best advice you could give someone who is looking to reverse the effects of aging on their skin and keep their skin youthful looking?
A: Always wear sun protection (sunscreen, hats, sunglasses) when outside, avoid the sun during the peak hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and invest in a retinol that should be used every night. This one cream has many benefits from pigment correction to pre-cancer prevention.
Q: What are some of the biggest misconceptions people have about skincare?
A: The biggest misconception about skin care is that it must be expensive and a lot of work. Wrong! Simplicity and compliance are the keys to success.
