Save the Date for Skin Medics Medical Spa Peel Day October 25th

As the saying goes, beauty is only skin deep.  However, the truth is that healthy, glowing skin is often actually just below the surface. Chemical peels can bring out your most beautiful skin by removing the dull, dead outer layers of skin, smoothing and evening out skin tone and texture.  Now is the perfect time to try a chemical peel if you never have, or to come back for your favorite peel with Skin Medics™ Medical Spa’s Peel Day.

Join us October 25th from 7am to 4pm for great specials on our most popular chemical peels.  A $125 reservation fee gets you a free Vitalize Peel® ($150 value) and credit toward select SkinMedica® Pre-Made Regimens and products (a $200-750 value). The Vitalize Peel® improves skin tone and texture while reducing fine lines for a youthful glow with little recovery time.

With a $200 reservation, you will receive a free Rejuvenize Peel™ (worth $250) and credit toward select SkinMedica® Pre-Made Regimens and products (a $200-750 value).  The Rejuvenize Peel™ works deep within the skin to alleviate the appearance of skin conditions like acne, wrinkling, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation.

Those who wish to purchase $299 worth of SkinMedica® products will receive a limited edition SkinMedica® Gift Set for only $99, or you can get a free gift set with a $400 SkinMedica® purchase.

These great specials are only available by reservation on Tuesday, October 25th. Make sure to save your spot by calling (404) 969-2943. You can also keep up with our other events and savings opportunities by liking us on Facebook and following us on Twitter. See you there!

Treating Skin Conditions for Children, Teens, and Patients of All Ages

Although Dermatology Associates of Atlanta offers various cosmetic skin services like laser hair removal, fat reduction, and facial rejuvenation (to name a few), we are still board certified dermatologists trained to treat a variety of skin conditions. A blog from Best Health magazine earlier this month reminded us of how difficult it is for children and teens to deal with acne, psoriasis, eczema, and more. The Article was intended to help parents teach their children how to maintain a positive body image and equip them with tools to deal with insensitive peers.

As we all know, acne is frustrating at any age. No one wants a big whitehead on his or her nose, but most of us remember a period when hormones seemed to cause pimples to crop up like crazy. It’s not only important to teach your children how to ignore teasing from their peers, but also to teach them how to take care of their skin so future breakouts are minimized. You could also take them to see a dermatologist for different alternatives such as skin treatment options like Isolaz™for acne if over-the-counter cleansers are not working and you want to avoid oral medications.  However, tried and true medications for acne include benzyl peroxides (OTC), topical antibiotics, topical retinoic acid, and topical salicylic acid (OTC).  While some of these medications are available over-the-counter a dermatologist can prescribe stronger versions if needed. Oral medications are usually considered in more severe cases, and in the most severe cases Accutane may be prescribed.

While not as common in younger people, psoriasis is another skin condition that can be physically, emotionally, and socially uncomfortable for a child or even teenager. We have an entire center devoted to psoriasis, the Psoriasis Treatment Center. While psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that is rarely relieved by ointments and medications, our patients often find relief with our PHAROS EX-308 Eximer Laser treatments. We also offer prescription compounds and other therapies like psoralen soaks for the palms and soles to relieve discomfort and itching.  Light treatments are also common for psoriasis patients.  Now for some patients biologics may be the only treatment that gives total body lasting control, but this is usually reserved for the older patients where all other forms of treatments have been tried.

Although it’s one of the most common skin conditions, itchy eczema can also make kids and teens want to hide their skin. Our dermatologists can prescribe compounds to help relieve eczema symptoms in hopes that children and teens with eczema will feel as comfortable as possible in their own skin. Light therapy is commonly used to tame the more difficult eczema cases.  At times, dermatitis may be aggravated by certain laundry detergents and fabric softeners. Avoiding free washing with drying soaps and fabric softeners designed for the dryer seem to be most helpful in the long-term control of this unyielding dermatitis. DAA’s Laser Institute of Georgia can also provide removal of skin conditions or imperfections with laser birthmark removal (hemangiomas), laser wart removal, and mole removal.

Dermatology Associates of Atlanta believes it’s important to educate young patients on proper skin care, skin condition treatment, and positive body image. It’s very important for parents to support their children in dealing with their skin conditions.  Talking about problems like skin conditions helps children understand that there are no underlying causes, although, genetics may have something to do with conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Parents play a role in helping their child deal with these long-term conditions.  We also think beginning regular dermatology visits is important for the continued health of young patients through adulthood.

Fat Reduction and Liposuction at DAA Explained

dermatology associates of atlantaThe physicians and providers of Dermatology Associates of Atlanta understand that everybody is different and every body is shaped differently. For that reason, we offer a variety of fat reduction and liposuction procedures that aren’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you just want to tighten loose skin, get rid of excess fat, or do a little of both, we have a body contouring procedure to meet your needs. Our patients often ask about the differences in fat reduction procedures, so we’ve decided to compile an overview so that our cosmetic treatment patients can be more aware of all of their options.

Drs. Griffin and Karempelis have been practicing tumescent liposuction procedures since 1986, a method that’s still often performed today. In fact, a liposuction study published in ASAPS’ Aesthetic Surgery Journal earlier this year stated that 51% of surgeons preferred tumescent liposuction to other techniques. During tumescent, or “wet,” liposuction, a diluted solution containing a local anesthetic and epinephrine is injected to “puff up” the fat for easier removal. Most patients are able to get back to their normal activities within a week of their procedure, although they should continue to wear post-surgical compression garments in order to reduce swelling and optimize the fat reduction results.

While not exactly a fat reduction procedure, many liposuction patients also pursue fat transfer. During fat transfer, a patient’s own unwanted fat is used to plump up wrinkles and areas of lost volume that contribute to signs of aging similar to the way facial fillers such as Restylane® and Juvéderm work to rejuvenate the appearance.  After the excess fat is removed, it is purified and then re-injected into those areas that need refinement like the hands, wrinkles, and even acne scars. Fat transfer also promotes collagen production for ongoing rejuvenation. › Continue reading
