About lupocenter

Nationally acclaimed non-surgical dermatologist Since 1983, nationally acclaimed and board certified dermatologist Dr. Mary Lupo has been at the forefront of non-surgical skin rejuvenation. She began using innovative combination protocols for her patients that included collagen fillers, light chemical peels, and topical products such as Retin A and alpha hydroxy acids with sun protection to make the skin look years younger. This trend is now the cornerstone of non-surgical care along with the additions of Botox to relax hyperactive muscles. It is not the use of one particular filler or laser, but rather the application of these tools in tandem that achieve the best possible result. The years of teaching other physicians, serving on advisory boards and performing clinical trials on the latest techniques have resulted Dr. Lupo being on the cutting edge of non-surgical skin rejuvenation. Dr. Lupos is also a Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Tulane Medical School. She graduated from Tulane Medical School in 1980 and did internal medicine at Ochsner Foundation before entering the dermatology program at Tulane Medical School where she served as Chief Resident in her final year and was awarded the Peterkin Award for her original research in skin lipids and inflammation in patients with atopic dermatitis. She is the past-president of the Women’s Dermatologic Society, Louisiana vice-chair for the Dermatology Foundation and member of the Annenberg Circle. She is on numerous committees for Women’s Dermatologic Society, American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, and American Academy of Dermatology. As director of Tulane’s Resident Cosmetic Clinic, she has taught fillers, Botox, sclerotherapy, chemical peels and laser therapies since 1984. She has been a founding director of The Cosmetic Boot Camp, an innovative CME program that teaches core aesthetic physicians the latest techniques for aging skin correction. Dr. Lupo is now a clinical instructor for Allergan, where she helped launch Juvederm to Australian physicians in 2007. She has acted as a consultant over the years for Inamed, Bristol Meyers Squibb, Playtex, Kao Brands (Jergens, Curel, Ban, and Biore), Allergan (both skin care and Botox Cosmetic divisions) Dermik, Galderma, Stiefel, Neocutis, Ortho-Neutrogena, LaRoche Posay, and Philosophy. In 1995, she founded Dr Mary Lupo Skin Care System, innovative skin care products for her patients and web clients. She is often quoted in national beauty magazines on various dermatological topics from acne to aging skin, from skin cancers to fillers and cosmeceuticals. She has appeared on E! Entertainmen, the Food Network, CNN news, and The View as well as local CBS, NBC, and ABC affiliates in New Orleans.

Dr. Mary Lupo describes the Genesis laser treatment

Treatment for aging skin or sun damaged skin varies, but many patients in the New Orleans area interested in enhancing their facial appearance are encouraged to learn about Laser Genesis.

What is Laser Genesis?

Dr. Mary Lupo is a Board-certified dermatologist excited to offer Laser Genesis services in her practice. This treatment is beneficial for patients who are interested in rejuvenating their skin and reducing the appearance of:

  • Sun-damaged skin
  • Pores
  • Fine lines and wrinkles

Laser Genesis is unlike other laser treatments offered in dermatology clinics. This treatment is less aggressive than the traditional laser therapies. It does not require downtime and patients can have treatments done during their lunchtime to fit into their busy schedules. Dr. Mary Lupo administers the laser light to patients without the need for anesthetic.

How does Laser Genesis treatment work?

Laser Genesis treatment works by heating the deeper levels of the dermis to help in stimulating the production of natural collagen. Collagen is what keeps the skin firm and youthful. It is naturally occurring in the skin but over time, collagen will diminish. By undergoing several sessions of Laser Genesis treatment, patients can rejuvenate their skin in a natural manner with a little help from laser therapy.

Who is a candidate for Laser Genesis?

Everyone is a candidate for Laser Genesis treatment! Patients are encouraged to schedule a consultation appointment with Dr. Mary Lupo for an initial evaluation and to discuss this and other solutions.

Dr. Mary Lupo is excited to offer technologically advanced solutions such as the Laser Genesis treatment.

INFINISKIN TREATMENTS POPULAR IN BEVERLY HILLS, NOW AVAILABLE AT LUPO CENTER FOR AESTHETIC AND GENERAL DERMATOLOGY IN NEW ORLEANS, LA

Fractional Radiofrequency microneedling for tighter, smoother skin is quickly becoming the new trend in the aesthetic industry and major cities globally

If you are looking for a non-invasive facelift, neck lift, to smooth acne or other scarring, reduce pore size, or even to create a flawless complexion that doesn’t require makeup, you can now find the INFINIskin treatment here in New Orleans. INFINIskin treatments make it possible to have a more youthful and smooth appearance without having to worry about missing work or social events.  A face plus neck treatment takes approximately 45 minutes, and patients can wear makeup the next day to cover any redness. The treatment is tolerable and sought out by all ages, both male and female. Because INFINI applies energy below the surface of the skin, it can safely treat all skin types, unlike many other devices.

“I took a Friday off from work, went for the treatment in the morning, numbing cream was applied for some time, then the device was used to deliver energy through very fine insulated needles for about 45 minutes. While it was uncomfortable, it is better than surgery or lasers, and by Saturday night, I was able to apply makeup and go out. I could never do that with surgery. It has been about 5 weeks and my skin is beginning to tighten, people are noticing and saying I look younger and I am even wearing less makeup due to the natural even skin tone and smaller pores!” says an INFINIskin treatment patient.

The INFINI device is quickly becoming the “hot trend” in the industry. The innovative combination of radiofrequency and microneedling to stimulate the natural regrowth of collagen and elastin is gaining accolades worldwide.

Unwanted hair on the body can be costly and time-consuming to keep under control. Many patients find tweezing, waxing, and shaving to take much too much time. Instead, men and women often find laser hair removal to be a wonderful alternative.

What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is an advanced method of eliminating unwanted hair on areas such as the:

  • Underarms
  • Chest
  • Back
  • Legs
  • Bikini area
  • Face

Dr. Mary Lupo is a Board-certified dermatologist who can work with patients to decide if they can benefit from laser hair removal. This treatment is available to patients of all hair colors and skin colors, unlike in the past when certain patients were deemed better candidates. The process of laser therapy takes time for full hair removal. One appointment will reduce the amount of hair in the area, while several can result in full treatment.

How many appointments will I need?

The number of treatment sessions for patients will vary, dependent on their hair’s response to treatment and the thickness of the hair. Thicker hair will require more treatments. Treatments are spaced out over several weeks to ensure the laser treats the hair in the active growth phase. Other hair that is not in this phase will not be affected. By treating every few weeks, our doctor can target all the hair in the cycle of growth. Patients seeking reduction of hair may just need one or two treatments.

Dr. Mary Lupo Offers Chemical Peels Treatment
Patients with a variety of skin conditions in New Orleans often work with a dermatologist to find the best way to treat them. In many cases, patients may find that chemical peels are their best option. Chemical peels are facial treatments that are performed by our team of skilled profess, at the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology.

Chemical peel process

Chemical peels are performed in the practice by our dedicated team. Dr. Mary Lupo starts with a consultation appointment to discuss with patients the concerns they have about their skin. She may recommend a chemical peel or alternative options, depending on their specific needs. If patients decide to move forward with a chemical peel, the skin is cleansed and a special combination of ingredients are applied to the face. They are left on for a specific period, either several seconds or several minutes. This greatly depends on the type of chemical peel and the strength. Then the peel is cleansed from the face and patients are released with post-care instructions.

What is the purpose of a chemical peel?

The purpose of chemical peels is to remove the dead upper skin cells and stimulate the formation of new skin cells. This can address a variety of issues for our patients including:

  • Acne
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Poor texture and tone

Patients with several issues can treat many of them with a chemical peel.

Dr. Mary Lupo Offers Chemical Peels Treatment
Turning back the hands of time is a common request by patients who visit Dr. Mary Lupo and her team at the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology in New Orleans. While plastic surgery is an option, it is typically not the only one – especially when patients are in the earlier stages of aging. Anti-aging treatments are available to patients ready to make a difference in their appearance. A common suggestion for fine lines and wrinkles is dermal fillers such as Juvéderm.

Juvéderm described

Juvéderm is one of several dermal fillers available at the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology. Dermal fillers are typically formulated with hyaluronic acid, which is a protein that attracts water. This results in volume that can “fill” fine lines and wrinkles in the face. When a Board-certified dermatologist administers Juvéderm or other dermal fillers with hyaluronic acid, patients will notice smoother, more youthful-looking skin immediately following their treatment.

What are the benefits of Juvéderm?

Juvéderm has been used for many years by men and women, and has many advantages:

  • Juvéderm provides a less invasive way of treating fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Juvéderm can be used on the face as well as the hands.
  • Juvéderm is affordable and reliable.
  • Juvéderm can be combined with other cosmetic injectables for amazing results!

Dr Lupo - April 2017 Juvéderm Voluma for antiaging
Aging skin can take a toll on one’s self-confidence. Men and women who are unhappy with volume loss and skin laxity may feel as though plastic surgery is their only line of defense. However, Dr. Mary Lupo of and the team of the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology in New Orleans provides solutions such as Juvéderm Voluma.

What is Juvéderm Voluma?

Dr. Mary Lupo uses Juvéderm Voluma to replace volume loss caused by the natural loss of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are naturally present in the skin and provide patients with the full, voluminous look that makes the face look youthful. After the age of 30, the skin begins to lose collagen and elastin naturally, and the face begins to experience skin laxity. To combat this, injectables such as Juvéderm Voluma can be used.

The Juvéderm Voluma process

Juvéderm Voluma injections are performed right in the office. Patients rest easy in the treatment chair for their evaluation, during which Dr. Mary Lupo will determine if patients are appropriate candidates. Once it is decided to move forward with the injections, patients undergo a series of injections into the areas of concern. Over time, collagen and elastin are restored and patients look years younger without the need for invasive plastic surgery.

Ready to learn more about Juvéderm Voluma?

Her office, located at 145 Robert E Lee Boulevard, #302 offers patients in the New Orleans area with a myriad of services.
