Microneedling with Kenalog treatment.

What is This Procedure?
It's a combination treatment that marries two techniques:

Microneedling: A device with fine needles creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body's natural wound-healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production.

In this combined procedure, the Kenalog is not injected separately with a syringe, but is rather applied topically to the skin surface immediately after the microneedling has been performed. The micro-channels created by the needles allow the corticosteroid to be delivered directly into the deeper layers of the skin where it's needed.

The combination is often more effective than either treatment alone. The microneedling allows for deeper and more even pe*******on of the Kenalog throughout the scar tissue.

Sunscreen is not just for preventing sunburn.

Its primary function is to protect your skin from the damaging effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which goes far beyond a temporary red burn.

1. Skin Cancer
This is the most serious reason. Regular, daily use of sunscreen significantly reduces your risk of developing all types of skin cancer, including:

Melanoma: The most deadly form of skin cancer.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A common and potentially destructive form of skin cancer.

Basal Cell Carcinoma: The most common type, which can be disfiguring if not treated.

2. Premature Aging (Photoaging)
Up to 90% of the visible signs of aging are caused by sun exposure. Sunscreen is your best anti-aging product because it prevents:

Wrinkles and Fine Lines

Sagging Skin

Leathery Texture

Age Spots (Liver Spots) and uneven pigmentation.

3. Sunspots and Hyperpigmentation
UV rays stimulate melanin production, which can lead to dark spots on the face, hands, and chest. Sunscreen helps prevent these spots from forming and can keep existing discoloration from getting darker.
4. Broken Capillaries
UV radiation can break down collagen and elastin, weakening the walls of tiny blood vessels near the skin's surface and causing them to dilate permanently, resulting in visible red veins (telangiectasias).

5. Weakening of the Skin Barrier
Chronic sun exposure compromises your skin's natural barrier, making it more susceptible to irritation, dryness, and conditions like rosacea.

Tips for staying consistent!

Don't Let "Perfect" Be the Enemy of "Good": If you're too tired for your full routine, just do the basics: a quick cleanse and moisturizer is better than nothing.

Be Patient: Remember the skin cell cycle. Don't give up on a product before you've given it at least 6-8 weeks to work.

Most important: Monthly facials play a major role in maintaining healthy, glowing skin. It's a great reminder to treat skincare as an essential part of self-care.

In short: A mediocre product used consistently will always deliver better results than a "magic" product used inconsistently.

Let's talk fillers...

Key Areas Where Fillers Provide a Lift

Cheeks/Mid-Face :
The most powerful lift. Filler placed on the cheekbone acts as a central support, lifting the entire mid-face. It pulls the skin upwards and outwards, reducing the pull of gravity on the lower face. Reduces the appearance of nasolabial folds, lifts sagging corners of the mouth, and restores a youthful, heart-shaped facial contour.

Chin:
Adds projection and structure to the chin. A stronger, more projected chin provides a counter-pull to the loose skin and fat of the neck and lower jaw, making the jawline appear sharper and more defined. Reduces the appearance of jowls, creates a more balanced profile, and enhances the definition between the face and neck.

Jawline:
Filler is placed along the jawbone to recreate a sharp, defined edge. This directly supports the skin that was hanging down to form jowls.

Of course! A good facial treatment is a multi-tasking powerhouse. It goes far beyond just tackling dull skin.

Deep Cleansing: Extractions clear out blackheads and whiteheads, which you shouldn't do at home.

Gentle Exfoliation:
By removing the top layer of dead skin cells, facials help to fade sun spots and post-acne marks.

Dehydration and Lack of Radiance
Intense Moisture Infusion:
The massage and masking process helps serums and creams pe*****te much deeper than your daily routine can, providing a major hydration boost.

Improving Circulation: The facial massage increases blood flow, which brings oxygen and nutrients to the skin's surface, resulting in a healthy, natural glow.

Product of the day...

Salicylic acid works by exfoliating the top layer of skin and penetrating into pores to dissolve oil and dead skin cells, which helps to unplug them and prevent acne breakouts.

1. Exfoliation: Salicylic acid exfoliant is a keratolytic, meaning it's a potent exfoliant. It works by breaking the "glue" that holds skin cells together, allowing dead skin cells to shed naturally and revealing fresher skin underneath.

2. Pe*******on into pores: As a lipid-soluble (oil-soluble) acid, it can pe*****te oily skin and deep into pores. This allows it to dissolve oil and debris that clog pores and cause blackheads and whiteheads.

3.Prevents future breakouts: By keeping pores clear and reducing excess oil, salicylic acid helps prevent new breakouts from forming and keeps acne-prone skin healthy.
