Erase Years From Your Skin with Fraxel®

Most of us wish we could slow down the effects aging has on our looks – and maybe even get a few years back in the process. Fraxel® is proven laser technology that can help reverse the visible effects of aging, naturally helping you look as young as you feel. With Fraxel®, change isn’t drastic or scary – it’s you, just younger.

The Lupo Center for Aesthetic & general dermatology offers the most advanced Fraxel® Restore Dual Wavelength System to better address pigmentation, wrinkles, acne scars and surgical scars on the entire body with minimal discomfort. Dr. Lupo chooses to use the Fraxel® system because of its very high safety record and proven results for all types of skin, and because it causes minimal disturbance to the patient’s everyday life during the course of treatment.

Fraxel® is a non-invasive laser therapy for people who want to look good – and want real results – but don’t want the drastic change or extended downtime that comes with surgery. Dr. Lupo customizes the intensity of each treatment level in accordance with the patient’s needs, giving the patient a choice between superficial, moderate or deeply penetrative treatments. In most cases, the patient can expect dramatic results with smoother, brighter and younger looking skin without looking plastic and fake.

Fraxel® is effective on:

•             Fine lines and wrinkles – like crow’s feet and brow lines

•             Surface scarring – erasing effects of acne and other scarring

•             Pigmentation – minimizing the appearance of age spots

•             Sun damage – helping heal dangerous skin damage

•             Actinic Keratosis (AK) – a common pre-cancerous skin condition

To learn more or to see if you are a candidate for Fraxel®, schedule a consultation with one of our doctors. Any patient who schedules a Fraxel consultation or receives a Fraxel treatment by December 31, 2012 will receive 10% off of a package of Fraxel® treatments for one area.

Please note that Fraxel is a very specific laser and some doctors rent a less expensive and less advanced fractional non-ablative laser, yet call it “fraxel” – after all, not every tissue is a Kleenex!

Feel More Comfortable in Your Skin with Exilis®

While kids are excited for summer beach trips, not all of us are as eager to show off our bodies in a swimsuit or summer clothes. Whether you’re embarrassed about the way your arms look in a tank top or have difficulty zipping up your favorite sundress, we want to help you feel more confident this summer by introducing you to a skin-tightening treatment called Exilis®.

While skin-tightening technology has been available at the Lupo Center for Aesthetic & General Dermatology since 2004, our patients have seen drastic changes to their bodies since introducing Exilis® into our practice in 2010. BTL’s Exilis offers a revolutionary non-invasive form of treatment for the reduction of wrinkles and for the reshaping of targeted fat deposits, with visible results often after the first session. It is used in areas such as jowls, neck, eyebrows and especially the abdomen. Exilis® treatments can even postpone or eliminate the need for invasive surgery. Exilis® was awarded “Best Skin Tightening Device” in the U.S. market during the 2012 The Aesthetic Show in Las Vegas.

Exilis® is a monopolar radiofrequency device that causes both shrinking of loose tissue immediately, as well as long term collagen production that lifts and tightens loose skin over time. Exilis® is recommended for any patient between the ages of 25 and 70+ who desires cosmetic improvement, particularly those areas that show the signs of aging, unhealthy life style and have not responded to other treatment options.

The recommended course of treatment is generally four to six sessions, one every two weeks, and there is no downtime after the treatment.  Exilis® has been tested in clinical studies and proven to be safe and effective, and there have been no significant side effects reported with the treatment.

Dr. Lupo has been interviewed on WWLTV’s “Wrinkle Free Friday” segment where she discussed the Exilis treatment and its benefits.  To view the news segments, click on the links below:
