What’s New: Emerging Medical Technologies and Skin Care Advancements

Dermatology Associates of Atlanta’s Physicians and Providers have over 150 years of collective dermatological experience in providing skin care from head to toe. As leaders in their respective fields, Dr. Edmond Griffin (DAA’s founder), Dr. Scott Karempelis, Dr. Stephen Kraus, Dr. Joseph Payne and their other providers (PA’s Kathryn Filipek, Mara Grosswald, Delmer Henderson, and R.N. Dwayne Taylor) continue to adopt and refine the latest technologies to ensure their patients the most effective skin and hair treatments possible.

New Liposuction (Fat Reduction) Technology

SlimLipo™- Removes excess fat and tightens skin in just one step. Similar to SmartLipo  technology, SlimLipo™ liquefies fat cells to allow for easier removal; however, the dual wavelengths in the SlimLipo™ system also target collagen fibers and actually tighten the skin while also removing the unwanted fat. Dermatology Associates of Atlanta is proud to be one of the few providers in Georgia to offer SlimLipo™. Fat reduction can be achieved in just one session, and the minimally invasive nature of this technology significantly reduces patient downtime.

Visit our liposuction page or contact our Cosmetic Center to learn more about SlimLipo™.

New Skin Firming Technology

Exilis- Restores skin laxity of the face and body with radiofrequency technology. Although Exilis is FDA cleared for treating wrinkles, patients also report a measurable fat reduction. Exilis technology works similarly to that of Pellevé™, stimulating collagen production with heat to reduce wrinkles and sagging skin, except Exilis can be used on both the face and body. It is also believed that the deep tissue heating causes metabolic activity within fat cells; therefore, decreasing the size of fat cells.

Treatment sessions are quick with no downtime. In fact, we even suggest that patients are active after treatment to increase results.

Visit our Exilis page or contact one of our centers for more information on its skin tightening and body contouring benefits.

New Vein Elimination Technology

Veinwave™— Eliminates unwanted spider veins on the face or legs by using electrical vein-eliminating technology to reduce the unwanted vessels in one or two applications. Unlike sclerotherapy, which requires injections to target the vessels, Veinwave™ treatment is applied subepidermally (only penetrating the top layer). This treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones.

New Fat Reduction Technology- CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting®— Sandwiches tissue between the hand piece to apply cold to targeted areas of unwanted fat of the abdomen, hips, or back. Unlike surgical fat reduction like liposuction, the cold damages the fat cells externally and the body slowly expels them through the lymphatic system to refine the patient’s silhouette. Most Atlanta CoolSculpting patients report a 20% fat reduction following their first treatment.

Hair Loss Technology

Red Light Treatment— Low dose LED therapy that encourages hair growth after a hair transplant procedure as well as strengthening weekend growth or hair thinning.

Botox® for Hair Loss— Injections of purified botulinum to promote hair growth in patients with pattern baldness. Botox® can also be used to soften and prevent scar tissue from forming around donor regions used for hair transplant surgery.
