An Exclusive Lupo Center PRE-ReJUVEnation Treatment
For more than 30 years, Dr. Lupo has pioneered the concept of combination therapies to help her patients achieve a natural, meaningful improvement in their appearance. Her goal with the PRE-ReJUVEnation Treatment is to prevent or delay the signs of aging skin in patients who are 40 years of age or younger by combining the benefits of skin tightening and facial resurfacing. With early prevention, patients can eliminate the need for aggressive surgical procedures in later years.
Prejuve Energy Facials are individualized and customized for each patients needs. The most popular Prejuve treatments is the combination of Exilis Elite’s skin tightening and Laser Genesis’ facial resurfacing for overall anti-aging and enhancement of the skin.
The Exilis Elite technology 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. It is beneficial on areas such as the jowls, neck and eyebrows.
Laser Genesis is a multi-purpose solution for skin health and appearance. The facial resurfacing treatment protects the epidermis, while stimulating collagen production in the dermis to improve pores and texture. It is also shown to fade red and brown spots. It is beneficial for acne and mild acne scars and discolorations.
Prejuve Energy Facials can treat any skin type and require no downtime. Dr. Lupo individualizes each treatment so patients achieve optimal results.

Dr. Lupo was recently interviewed on New Orleans’ WDSU where she discussed how the sun can cause skin damage, even skin cancer, for drivers with long commutes.
Dr. Lupo encourages everyone to wear a minimum of SPF 40 year round, and for anyone who is in direct sunlight during the day, including commuters, she recommends SPF 60.
Even though aging is an inevitable process, we never want our eyes to say we are older than we truly are. There are several factors that cause the eyes to age prematurely, including lifestyle, emotion, sleep patterns and the environment, all of which diminishes a person’s youthful, fresh appearance.
Treat yourself to some extra love this Valentine’s Day with three new ways to say “EYE Love You.” Using one or more of our Eye Love You Enhancers – BOTOX, LATISSE and LUMIERE – you can rest assure your eyes will never reveal your true age. During February, take advantage of our EYE Love You Specials – see below!
In September 2013, the FDA approved the use of Botox to treat crow’s feet, and Dr. Lupo was the only FDA investigator in Louisiana for the study of this newly approved treatment. Crow’s feet are created by a variety of factors, but most commonly they are the result of overusing muscles while squinting or smiling. A small amount of Botox injected into the muscle around the eye will prevent the area from wrinkling when facial expressions are made. The results give the eye area a smoother, younger look.
Longer, thicker lashes frame the eyes making them stand out to look more beautiful and youthful even without makeup. Latisse is the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes known as hypotrichosis. Daily applications of Latisse will help eyelashes to grow, making them longer, thicker and darker.
EYE ENHANCER 3: NEOCUTIS LUMIERE
Everyone dreads waking up to find puffy, dark circles around their eyes. Neocutis Lumiere is our number-one selling eye cream that reduce puffiness, dark circles and even fine lines. This fragrance-free daily cream hydrates skin with hyaluronic acid, promotes new collagen with growth factors and uses caffeine to tighten and restrict blood vessels.
While we may be six months away from summer, now isn’t the time to shy away from sunscreen. Daily sunscreen use is a must year round, and extra protection is needed for those hitting the slopes this winter. “It is essential to use sun protection during the winter months because harmful UVA rays are still present even in cold weather,” says Dr. Lupo. “Full-spectrum sun protection, at least SPF 30, should be applied daily, and it is also important to maintain your anti-aging regimen with retinoids and antioxidants or growth factors.” See below for sunscreen specials!
While we don’t necessarily have Winter Wonderland weather here in South Louisiana, the seasonal change can still take a toll on our skin. To combat the cooler temperatures and decreased humidity, exfoliation and extra moisturizing will help eliminate dull skin. Avoid hot baths that can strip essential oils from the skin and always moisturize immediately after a shower. A change in diet may also be beneficial to your skin: fish high in omega oils will help hydrate the skin from the inside, and herbal teas, such as green tea, contain antioxidants that help fight off skin-damaging free radicals.
If a good at-home skin regimen doesn’t help to eliminate dry, itchy skin caused by wintry weather, a low-level non-ablative resurfacing treatment such as a SilkPeel, light chemical peels or facials may help to brighten the skin. Pigmentation and redness, which often contributes to the appearance of dull skin, can be treated with Fraxel, Clear+Brilliant, IPL and Laser Genesis. To keep your skin glowing all year long, contact our office to discuss a skin care routine that is right for you!
In today’s aesthetic world, there are a number of med spas and doctors who are performing cosmetic injections without accredited education and training, which can lead to serious complications in the patients they treat. The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery have partnered with NewBeauty Magazine to create a public awareness campaign to educate patients on the best way to choose an injectable physician. Through the campaign, they have chosen Dr. Lupo as one of their ExpertInjectors. 
Dr. Lupo is also concerned about the increasing number of patients coming to her office after suffering complications as a result of untrained or uncertified physicians and non-physicians performing medical procedures with injectables and lasers. Even more frightening is when those patients are treated with illegal products. Dr. Lupo believes all patients deserve to know the truth and qualifications of their treating physician and advises all patients do their homework before having any procedure done.
