HOW MANY BIOREPEEL TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED FOR THE BEST RESULTS?

While individual results can vary, most patients begin to notice visible improvement in skin texture and clarity after just one session. However, for optimal, long-lasting results, a series of treatments is recommended.

Typically, patients benefit most from a series of 4 to 6 BioRePeel treatments, spaced about 7 to 10 days apart. This approach allows the skin to gradually and safely renew itself, without overwhelming the surface layers. The number of sessions may vary depending on your skin concerns, such as:

Acne and congestion: A full series is often ideal for clearing breakouts and refining pores.

Fine lines and wrinkles: Repeated treatments help stimulate deeper collagen production for smoother, firmer skin.

Hyperpigmentation or dullness: Ongoing treatments assist in lifting discoloration and enhancing radiance.

Schedule your consult with our Medical Aesthetician, Whitney Pepper to evaluate your skin condition and discuss a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your desired outcome.

IT'S NATIONAL APP WEEK!

We are celebrating our advanced practice providers this week! Join us in thanking our very own, Leah Trahan, NP for her exceptional care that she delivers to our patients everyday.

Leah is a native of Acadiana. She graduated from University of Louisiana at Lafayette (ULL) with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2011. Following graduation, she worked as an RN at Lafayette General Medical Center until 2017 in various departments including telemetry/acute cardiovascular care, cardiovascular short stay, and clinical education. She graduated from ULL in 2016 with a Master of Science in Nursing and shortly after became a certified Family Nurse Practitioner by the American Association of Nurse Practitioner’s. As a nurse practitioner, Leah has worked in specialties including 4 years in cardiovascular care, 3 years in wound care, and plastic/reconstructive surgery.

Leah joined the Ochsner Lafayette General team to work with Dr. Lupo in August of 2022. She has acquired her injectable certification from AMET and enjoys seeing patients in clinic for cosmetic injectable visits. She also received her RN First Assist certification from NIFA so that she may better assist Dr. Lupo in surgery. She assists Dr. Lupo with many aspects of patient care including hospital rounds, reconstruction tissue expansion, surgery, and clinic visits. Leah enjoys going the extra mile to help patients and working closely with Dr. Lupo to help patients navigate the surgical healing process.

Leah, we thank you for always putting our patient's first!

FAQ FRIDAY📚

We educate and encourage our patients to implement a high protein diet before and after surgery for several reasons:👇

1. Wound Healing: Protein is essential for tissue repair and regeneration. It helps in the healing of incisions and wounds, reducing recovery time.

2. Muscle Preservation: Surgery can lead to muscle loss due to inactivity. Adequate protein intake helps maintain muscle mass during recovery.

3. Immune Function: Protein plays a key role in the immune system. Proper protein intake can help bolster the body’s defenses, reducing the risk of infections post-surgery.

4. Energy Supply: Protein provides energy and can help maintain strength and stamina during the recovery process.

5. Fluid Balance: Proteins help maintain proper fluid balance in the body, which is important after surgery to prevent swelling or dehydration.

YOUR SAFETY IS DR. LUPO'S PRIORITY

Dr. Lupo requires surgery patients to quit all ni****ne products for a minimum of 3 weeks prior to your pre-operative appointment and continue avoiding all ni****ne products until 3 weeks after surgery. Examples of products that contain ni****ne ci******es, ci**rs, vapes, including “ni****ne free” vapes, ni****ne patches, ni****ne gum, blunts, etc.

Here is an article from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons website blog which explains why it’s so important to avoid ni****ne when having plastic surgery even though you may have healed perfectly fine after other types of surgery.
