Dr. Edmond Griffin Adds Zeltiq Coolsculpting Procedure To Practice
As seen on AtlantaHealthandBeauty.com
Zeltiq Coolsculpting is the newest technology in body sculpting that uses cryolyposis to literally “freeze your fat off.”
Dr. Edmond Griffin, a Zeltiq provider in the Atlanta area, has recently added the body contouring procedure which utilizes cryolipolysis to his list of services. One of the few practices in the U.S. that offers Zeltiq, Dr. Griffin is proud to be one of the first to offer this non-invasive fat reduction option in body contouring.
Zeltiq, while not recommended for those seeking to remove large amounts of fat, is ideal for patients that are in relative good health who want to remove stubborn spots or pockets of fat. The procedure isolates fat pockets and utilizes cooling technology to freeze fat cells, which then triggers a slow death of the fat cells over the next 3-4 months.

PRP Technology: Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy Used in Skin Rejuvenation
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) utilizes the healing power of isolated platelets from an individual’s own blood to aid in the rejuvenation of their body’s soft tissues and bones. This therapy is a part of a quickly emerging medical niche called Orthobiologics which studies ways in which the body is able to heal itself. According to a study published in the May issue of the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, PRP therapy has proven itself effective in face and neck rejuvenation. This discovery makes dermatologists, like Dermatology Associates of Atlanta founder Dr. Edmond Griffin, especially hopeful about the potential benefits PRP therapy may bring to dermatology patients seeking cosmetic treatments.
The journal’s three month study followed 23 patients who were given monthly injections of their own centrifuge-obtained platelets into areas of depression or small wrinkles on their faces and/or necks. The results of the injections were carefully documented by a chronological series of photos using a dermoscope camera. This specialty device enabled study coordinators to pinpoint specific areas of visible skin rejuvenation. The participant’s results measured progress in several regions of the face, but showed the most improvement in improving skin texture and evening tone (33% increase) and reducing the amount of wrinkles around the eyes (30% reduction.)
The study’s results are not only of interest to Dermatologists like those at DAA, but are also promising to Cosmetic Surgeons who point to potential refinement in the facial fillers (like Botox® and Dysport®) and dermal injectables (like Restylane® and Juevederm®) that use the products to relax wrinkles and fill-in areas of the face that naturally lose volume with age. This emerging research field is changing daily so stay in the loop by reading DAA’s blog or visiting their website regularly.

Male Seeking Body Hair Removal? We Have a Specialty Center For That!
According to a recent New York Times article detailing the ever-evolving trends in male health and beauty, a majority of men (61%) aged 18-29 report utilizing some form of body hair removal to clear certain regions below the neck. The same article also reports that the most common areas for body hair removal in males include: the groin, chest, armpits, and back.
Even though the razor manufacturing industry remains strong (grossing over $10 million per year), many males complain that body hair removal is inconvenient and time consuming when removed with a razor. Dermatology Associates of Atlanta, dedicated to complete dermatological care, offers a complete menu of laser hair removal services through The Laser Institute of Georgia, DAA’s laser specialty center. Most qualified laser hair removal patients see noticeable, permanent results after a series of three to six treatments.
Laser hair removal is a procedure most effective for individuals with darker, coarser hair. For fair patients, DAA’s Laser Institute of Georgia also offers electrolysis.

Painless Acne Laser Treatment IsoLaz Giving Patients a Radiant and Clear Complexion
If you are frustrated with acne and wish that you had clear skin – you’re not alone. In fact, over 60 million Americans suffer from acne. Unfortunately, many have had difficulty finding an effective treatment.

The new treatment is painless and short; easily performed during the span of a lunch break. IsoLaz’s ™ revolutionary Photopneumatics™ technology combines vacuum and laser therapy to loosen and extract dirt, blackheads, and excess oils from deep within your pores so the laser light can better destroy the underlying acne-causing bacteria. For most patients, just a few IsoLaz™ treatments produce noticeable improvements to uneven skin tone, sun damaged skin, facial redness, pronounced veins, and even unwanted hair.
In addition to its’ almost immediately noticeable results, and unlike other laser treatments that can produce redness and crusting post-procedure, the IsoLaz™ system is safe for all skin types, does not cause sensitivity to light, and allows you to resume your normal activities immediately after your treatment .
Dysport Love it or Leave it Challenge Available at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta
If you have been considering a wrinkle removing injectable, Dermatology Associates of Atlanta wants to let you know of an exciting rebate special by the makers of Dysport®. Called the “Love it or Leave it” Challenge, patients can receive a total of $150 in savings on two treatments of Dysport®.
On the first injection (300 units) – patients receive a $75 rebate. If they “love it” they can receive an additional $75 rebate on a second injection. If they decide to “leave it” they can choose to receive another injection with competition product, Botox®.
Wrinkle removing injectables, like Dysport® and Botox® are made from the toxin botulinum, and work to relax muscles in the face. This relaxation of muscles smoothes out and reduces furrows and wrinkles and can also prevent future wrinkles from forming.
So far, over 90 percent of all patients who completed the challenge decided that they “loved it.” If you are interested in trying it and seeing if you will love the product too, contact Dermatology Associates of Atlanta. The rebate is only valid if you receive your first injection by September 30, 2010 – so make your appointment accordingly. More information about the rebate can be found at DysportUSA.com.
