Blackhead Removal

Blackhead Removal Treatment

Blackhead removal is an important treatment to do for skin that is plagued with blackheads. Blackhead removal will allow blackheads to be treated so the natural beauty of the skin shines through. Blackheads are formed on the skin when the hair follicles in the skin become plugged. They are the first sign of acne, with them often turning into a pimple. Typically, they are caused by an overproduction of oil. The surface of the clogged pores will look black or dark. These tiny bumps on the skin often appear on the face, but can also be seen on the chest, arms, neck, shoulders, and back. They can occur on anyone, but are most often seen on individuals that have oily skin. Factors that can lead to blackheads include producing too much oil on the skin, irritation of the hair follicles due to dead skin cells not shedding on a regular basis, taking certain medications, such as corticosteroids, lithium or androgen, undergoing hormonal changes, and the build up of bacteria on the skin.

What are some blackhead removal treatments?

Microdermabrasion is often touted as an effective blackhead removal treatment but the results are often either short lived or temporary. There are more effective procedures involving light and laser. At Advanced Dermatology our Clariskin Photo-rejuvenation Treatment produces wonderful long-term results. This TGA and FDA approved treatment has long lasting effects without the need to go under the knife. No injections will be involved. There is no downtime or recovery period with Clariskin. It works on all skin tones and colours. This blackhead removal technique can be used for the entire face or just portions of it. The treatment takes anywhere from 10 to 90 minutes to complete.

Fractional Laser Treatment is another great blackhead removal treatment. The Fractional Laser Treatment is our most powerful treatment and offers great additional results including improvement in skin texture, tone, and wrinkles.

Another method for blackhead removal is to use a high quality skin care line. Advanced Dermatology offers a complete skin care line that is essential for optimal skin health. The regimen includes five steps. Step one includes a healing foam cleanser that provides the deepest clean ever. This foam lathers richly to get deep down into the pores to cleanse them out. The cleanser will not strip the face of the essential oils that it needs. It was designed to give the skin a healthy, vibrant complexion. Step two includes a youth serum that is very hydrating yet lightweight. This serum will plump up the skin while helping to repair the damage that blackheads and other elements have done to the skin. Step three is the deep wrinkle firming skin quench, which was designed to help repair the skin while strengthening it. Step four is the overnight resurection, which supercharges the skin to make it smoother and younger looking.

Blackhead removal treatments can help the skin look and feel the best that it can. Utilising either laser treatment can help get the skin in tip top shape. Advanced Dermatology’s skin care line can help dissolve blackheads, removing the dirt and oil that get trapped into the hair follicles. The skin care line can be used in conjunction with either laser treatment to assure an individual that blackhead removal will be possible.

Sallow Skin

Causes and Treatment for Sallow Skin

Sallow skin often makes an individual look older than they are, often times making a person look sickly. Sallow skin is characterised by yellowing or pale tinted skin. The individual that is suffering from sallow skin will often have skin that is tired looking, and may look haggard. They will generally not look like they are in the best of health. The main causes of sallow skin include smoking, a vitamin deficiency, and anemia. Sallow skin may also be caused by dehydration.

Sallow skin may be accompanied by a pale tongue, the inability to sleep, a poor memory, inability to concentrate, dizziness, and an erratic pulse. Many times sallow skin will be a result of another medical condition, such as an ulcer, kidney problems, low iron, and other serious health issues.

The first step should always be a consultation first. This allows us to better understand your circumstances and tailor a treatment plan specifically for you.
  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Consultations are subject to our standard terms & conditions which you can read here.

How does an individual treat sallow skin?

Photorejuvenation is a non-invasive procedure that can be used to treat sallow skin. This skin treatment delivers energies to both the dermis and the epidermis. Photorejuvenation offers no down time, and takes about 45 minutes to complete. A warm snapping sensation can be felt during the procedure. Prior to treatment, a cooling gel maybe be applied to the skin. Goggles will need to be worn to protect the eyes. A hand held device will be glided over the skin while bright pulses of light are delivered to the skin. After treatment, the skin will feel slightly warm and can be cooled down by an ice pack. This will help recover the skin. Aloe Vera gel may also be applied to cool the skin.

Side effects of photorejuvenation include short term redness after the procedure. However, this generally goes away within an hour or so after the treatment. Rarely other side effects will be seen, such as scabbing of the skin or blisters. Individuals that are pregnant or breast feeding should refrain from using photorejuvenation to treat sallow skin. Individuals that have tanned skin will not be able to use photorejuvenation to treat the sallow skin either.

Generally speaking, five treatments of photorejuvenation are normally needed for an individual that suffers from sallow skin. These will be scheduled about 3 weeks apart from each other. However, all skin is unique and each skin specialist will have different expectations to follow. Results can typically last for several years, if not longer. Single maintenance treatments can be offered to keep the skin in tip top shape. Maintenance treatments are typically done about 4 months after the last treatment.

After having a series of photorejuvenation treatments, the skin will look refreshed. The tone and texture will have improved, and there will be a reduction in any irregular pigmentation of the skin.

How can an individual prevent sallow skin?

One way to prevent sallow skin includes keeping the body hydrated. This will keep the skin looking and feeling its best. Inadequate water supplies to the skin will create dull skin that is lifeless. A good test to see if an individual is dehydrated is to pinch the back of the hands. If the skin does not spring back immediately, an individual is not getting enough water in the diet and should increase the water to include at least 2 liters a day.

Should you smoke cigarettes, stop smoking. The chemicals in cigarettes deprives the skin of the much needed oxygen. This in turn will not only cause wrinkles, but help sallow skin form.

If diet is to blame for sallow skin, make sure that the diet is rich in iron. Having a loss of iron in the body can cause anemia, which is one of the main culprits of sallow skin. Folic acid and vitamin B12 should also be a part of the diet to ward off sallow skin.

Marionette Lines

/8 Comments/in , /by

What are Marionette Lines?

Marionette lines are lines that run down from the corners of the mouth that often make an individual look unhappy or mad. They are called marionette lines as they resemble the lines that run on the face of a marionette. They are often a sign of natural ageing in the skin and are quite common. Symptoms of marionette lines include not only the long lines running downward from the corners of the mouth, but dry skin that can be dull looking and a loss of skin elasticity and firmness.

What are the causes of Marionette lines?

Factors that help form marionette lines include those that have the habit of pursing the lips together. Doing this motion can help to contribute to wrinkles that have formed around the mouth. Other causes include the skin losing moisture due to the natural ageing process, which happens when the skin loses the firmness and elasticity that it once had. Smoking and excessive sun exposure can also cause marionette lines. Genetics can play a part in an individual having marionette lines. Stress and anxiety have been known to make marionette lines more pronounced.

How can Marionette lines be treated?

There are a number of treatments that can be used to treat marionette lines. These include:

  • ReFirme NXT® – This anti-ageing treatment is a fast treatment that will help with wrinkled skin. It is virtually pain free. This procedure helps give the individual rejuvenated skin with a youthful glow. It does not require any downtime for the patient. This FDA approved treatment is safe and effective for any skin type and works beautifully on sensitive skin. ReFirme NXT uses elos technology, which will heat the skin tissue to shrink collagen fibers that have aged while stimulating new collagen to be formed. After just one treatment, the skin will be smoother and more supple with a radiant glow.
  • The Sixty Minute Facelift – This FDA approved skin treatment is a non-surgical treatment that will tighten and renew collagen in all three layers of the skin (the dermis, the epidermis, and the subcutaneous layer) . It has long lasting effects without involving any needles. This procedure works on all skin types and colours, and requires no anesthetics. After the first treatment, skin will be not only tighter and smoother, but will be more elastic as well. After a series of treatments, results will continue to form for 6 months.

The best treatment for marionette lines will vary from individual to individual. It is best to consult a skin specialist so he or she can examine the marionette lines to determine which treatment will be most effective.

How can Marionette lines be prevented?

Use a high quality sunscreen daily. The most effective sunscreens will be the ones that are labeled as broad spectrum, as they offer both UVA and UVB ray protection. Limit exposure in the sun, avoiding the sun’s rays from 10 am to 4 pm. Wear sun glasses with a broad rimmed hat if being out in the sun is must during the peak hours.

Leg Veins

Leg Veins: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment with Advanced Dermatology

Leg veins can develop many issues, some of which can be serious to the health. Others pose a threat to the individual because they are not that attractive to look at. Many times leg veins are caused due to heredity, obesity, occupations in which standing is expected much of the time (think nursing, hairdressers), pregnancy, menopause, puberty and other hormonal influences, birth control pill usage, a history of blood clots, tumors in the abdomen, and other factors that cause pressure in the abdomen. Exposure to ultraviolet rays, previous vein surgeries, and trauma or injury to the skin have also been noted to cause leg veins. Lack of movement can also cause issues with leg veins, as can increasing age. As an individual ages, the leg veins may weaken, thus not working as well.

What are some of the issues that leg veins may possess? How many risks are associated with leg veins?

Varicose veins and spider veins are often seen in the legs. Leg veins of this nature are most commonly seen in woman. It is estimated that 30 to 60% of adults will have either type of leg veins. Fifty to fifty five percent of woman will see some type of leg veins problem in their life, while forty to forty five percent of men will have issues with leg veins.

What are the symptoms of leg veins?

Many times, those that suffer with leg veins will say that they hurt. Many have reported that they feel aching and cramps in the legs. The legs may feel restless, tingle, or throb. A heavy feeling may also be felt in the legs. At times, the leg veins may feel like they are burning. Often times, the leg veins will stop hurting if the legs have been elevated or if support hose are worn. Many times woman will notice that during the menstrual cycle, these symptoms for leg veins are much worse. Some individuals may see blood clots that have inflammation in them if they have problems with their leg veins. Other less common symptoms of leg veins include darkening of the skin, particularly in the ankle region, ulcers and swelling.

How can leg veins be treated?

Leg veins may be treated using Syneron LV applicator. Leg veins that are smaller in size may be treated using the Syneron LV applicator. This applicator will treat leg veins that are up to 4mm in size. Syneron LV applicator uses a combination of light energies with radio frequencies (RF).

Good candidates for treating leg veins with this procedure include those that are not a fan of needles, those that do not want an invasive procedure, and those that have adverse effects to Sclerotherapy. This procedure for leg veins is well tolerated by many individuals, as there can be a cooling gel or a topical anesthetic cream that can be used to numb any pain. The hand held device also has a cooling device that is built in to ensure that side effects are not seen.

There are generally no side effects seen when using Syneron LV applicator for leg veins. Rarely, crusting, pigment changes, or blistering can be seen. However, there is not any permanent damage done to the skin and these issues will be resolved in a very short time.

How many treatments will be needed to treat leg veins with Syneron LV applicator?

Typically, leg veins can be treated in one to three sessions using Syneron LV applicator. However, sometimes leg veins are more difficult and could possibly require more treatments. Typically, treatments are spaced out every six to eight weeks. Once treated, the leg veins will fade. Treatments can be continued until the individual is satisfied with the end results.

 

Cosmetic Tattoo

/5 Comments/in /by

What is a Cosmetic Tattoo?

A cosmetic tattoo is permanent makeup. This is a growing trend in the beauty industry. There are many parts of the body that can receive a cosmetic tattoo. These tattoos can be received on the lips, eyebrows, and eyes for eyeliner. Blush and eyeshadow may also be offered depending on where the cosmetic tattooing will be performed. A needle will place pigmentation on the desired area of the skin, much the same way a tattoo is formed.

How Safe is Cosmetic Tattooing?

Cosmetic tattooing is very safe, however, an individual should do some research before letting just anyone tattoo cosmetics. Dermatologist, cosmetologist, tattoo artists and anestheticians are professionals who can perform cosmetic tattooing as long as they have been properly trained to do so. When looking for a cosmetic tattoo business, make sure the business has been inspected by the local board of health. Be certain to ask the individual performing the tattoo how many years of experience he or she may have, as well as how many cosmetic tattoos they have done. An individual may ask to see a portfolio of the work done as well, but it would be better to see clients they have worked on in person.

When having the cosmetic tattooing done, make certain a fresh needle is used. A new bottle of pigmentation will also needed to be used. This will reduce the risk of infection.

Does Cosmetic Tattooing hurt?

To help reduce any pain associated with cosmetic tattooing, a topical anesthetic should be applied. The experience will be different for every individual based on where the cosmetic tattooing is taking place, as well as what the pain threshold is for the individual receiving the cosmetic tattoo.

How long does the cosmetic tattoo take to heal?

There is a very brief healing period when an individual has cosmetic tattooing. Some individuals will experience slight swelling, however, the individual will be able to resume back to life activities immediately. The healing process takes between 4 to 14 days. During the first few days, the cosmetic tattoo will be brighter than expected. An individual will see a reduction in colour from 20 to 40% during the healing stages. However, with lip cosmetic tattooing, an individual can see up to 80% of colour lost during the healing stage.

How Long Does a Cosmetic Tattoo last?

Cosmetic tattooing can last for several years. The cosmetic tattoo can be permanent or semi-permanent. It has been seen that the eye area will hold the most pigment, thus, cosmetic tattooing tends to last longer in this area then when applied to other areas. Touch up sessions may be needed to keep the cosmetic tattoo looking fresh.

There are some things that an individual can do at home to make sure that the cosmetic tattoo last as long as possible. These include wearing a sunscreen at all times to protect the face from the sun’s rays. A moisturising lip balm or cream should be applied to the lips that have received a cosmetic tattoo in order to keep them well hydrated. Staying out of the sun if possible will help to keep the colours from fading away.

What are the Benefits to Having a Cosmetic Tattoo?

There are many benefits to having a cosmetic tattoo. If an individual has sensitive skin, they may not be able to wear many of the cosmetics that are on the market today. Individuals that are very active, such as swimmers, runners, and hikers, do not always have the time to touch up cosmetics when competing. Cosmetic tattooing allows the individual to have a made up face without constant touch up.

LED Facial

/6 Comments/in /by

What is a LED Facial?

LED facials are a gentle way to treat the face and skin. Natural light energy is used to restore the skin. Energy is emitted through red light emitting diodes that can help increase collagen and elastin, improve the lymphatic system and help to increase circulation. Other benefits of LED light therapy include improving the overall complexion of the skin, toning and firming of the skin, treat acne, help with freckles, treat scars, have wrinkles and deep lines filled in, and sunspots erased. This technology has been approved by the FDA (food and drug administration).

How do LED Facials works?

LED light will be converted to energy which is needed to repair the cells and tissue of the skin. Different wavelengths are used to achieve various conditions for the skin. Red wavelengths are used to promote collagen, while violet blue wavelengths are used to kill bacteria that forms acne.

A series of treatments will be needed by most individuals. Eight to fifteen treatments are recommended weekly or bi-weekly, and then the individual can be placed on monthly maintenance treatments.

How Safe are LED facials?

LED facials are very safe. The treatment is very gentle, and is harmless to the skin. No pain is felt in this non-invasive treatment. Treatments take about half an hour to an hour to complete. Many report feeling relaxed and a light warmth during the process. No thermal damage will be done to the skin. There is no downtime after the treatment, and individuals may apply makeup or go out in the sun immediately after the LED facial. Many individuals will benefit from this form of light therapy, however, individuals that are pregnant, have epilepsy or use medications that cause light sensitivity should not use this. LED facials can be used by both men and woman, and can be used by all skin types. Post treatment, the skin may have a dry feeling to it.

What results can one expect with LED facials?

After a single treatment of an LED facial, the skin will appear to be smoother and more hydrated. The skin can have a radiant glow to it. After each treatment, the skin will continue to see gradual improvement. Brown spots and redness will fade as pore size diminishes. Results will depend on the age of the skin, physical condition of the individual, skin complexion and tone, diet and life style.

What are some popular LED facials used?

There are many different kinds of LED facials used by skin care professionals. Gentlewaves utilises a device that uses low intensity LED light. Individuals with dull skin, sunburn, sun damage, and rosacea can use Gentlewaves. This treatment will reduce the inflammation with sunburns while speeding up the healing time.

Omnilux is an LED therapy that can be used in single treatments, but is recommended to be used with multiple treatments. There are no reported side effects with this type of LED facial, and it is well tolerated by many individuals. Omnilux is often used with fillers to enhance them.

Where can stretch marks be on the body?

Stretch marks can be found anywhere on the body. Common places to find stretch marks include the stomach, breasts, back, thighs, upper arms, the inner and outer thighs, the buttocks and the hips.

What is a treatment that will help an individual get rid of stretch marks?

Should an individual want to know how to get rid of stretch marks, they can look into fractional laser treatments. Fractional laser treatments are a non-invasive method used in which a device delivers a laser beam to the skin. This laser beam will be divided into thousands of microscopic treatment zones. The skin will be targeted a fraction at a time. This treatment can be used on any part of the body, and will target both the dermis and the epidermis.

Before the Fractional laser treatment, an individual will have before photos taken. Jewelry will be removed and the skin will be washed. An anesthetic cream will be applied to the skin and will be allowed to soak in for 45 minutes to an hour. The cream will then be washed off, and a gliding gel will be applied to treatment area. The gliding gel will lubricate the skin for the device to glide across the skin. A cooling machine, called a Zimmer machine, will be used to alleviate any discomfort. The treatment time will depend on how large of an area is being treated. The gliding gel will be washed off after the procedure.

After the fractional laser treatment, skin may experience a sun burnt sensation for an hour or so post treatment. The skin will remain pinkish in color for 3 to 5 days. Within 2 to 3 days, swelling will subside. New skin will develop within 24 hours, leaving the old skin to flake off. A good skin moisturizer can help to alleviate this issue. This treatment is well tolerated by many individuals. Most likely a patient will be able to return to work immediately after a procedure, or the following day. The most severe side effects include swelling for up to a week after the treatment, and excessive peeling and scaling of the skin that crusts over.

How will I know if I am a good candidate for fractional laser treatment?

If you want to know how to get rid of stretch marks, one of the best solutions to look into is fractional laser treatment. This treatment works well on many skin types, including those that have very light or very dark skin. This treatment is FDA approved and can help to improve an individual’s skin appearance while having little to no downtime.

Gummy Smile

/4 Comments/in /by

Gummy Smile Treatment

A gummy smile appears on an individual when a person smiles and a large portion of the gums can be seen. An ideal smile will only have 2 millimeters of gum showing with the upper lip sitting just above the top teeth. Individuals that have 3 to 4 millimeters showing appear to have a gummy smile. There are seven main causes of having a gummy smile. However, those with a gummy smile should not fret as there is an easy and effective way to fix this mishap.

What are the causes of a gummy smile?

As stated above, there are seven main causes of having a gummy smile. Those include:

  • A hypermobile lip- A hypermobile lip can cause a gummy smile when the lip moves around too much.
  • A short upper lip- A short upper lip will not cover the upper teeth and the gingiva.
  • Vertical maxillary excess VME- This happens when there is an overgrowth of maxilla and a short ramus.
  • Wear and compensatory eruption
  • An excessive overbite (anterior over-eruption)
  • Altered passive eruption- This will happen as the person matures and the gingiva does not recede.
  • Altered active eruption- This happens when the teeth do not make it out of the bone.

Consultations are subject to our standard terms & conditions which you can read here.

How can an individual fix a gummy smile?

A procedure that can fix a gummy smile uses a muscle relaxer that will reduce the elevation of the upper lip. It is a simple injection that can be done within a matter of minutes, usually ten at the most. After the injection, the gums will not be exposed as much when an individual smiles and the natural facial expressions will stay the same. The treatment will last 3 to 4 months, with results being seen in as little as 2 weeks. Some patients have seen the results last as long as 6 months. After 3 to 4 months, the treatment can be repeated once the effects of the muscle relaxant wears off.

How is the treatment performed? Is the treatment safe?

The upper lip will be injected with a muscle relaxer. This will elevate the upper lip. The amount of the injection will depend on how strong the muscle in the upper lip is. Generally 10 units of muscle relaxants are used. The procedure is very safe when done by a cosmetic practitioner that has experience in this. Only a person that has been specially trained in giving these types of injections should inject a patient as there are many nerves around and in the mouth. These types of injections have been used for 20 years without any reports of issues.

Will muscle relaxers injected into the skin hurt when fixing a gummy smile?

The treatment will mildly sting. The upper lip will be left with a small mosquito looking bite, but this will only last for a brief period. Ice can be applied to minimise bruising and to help relieve any pain.

Are there any side effects to having a gummy smile fixed with muscle relaxers?

Minor redness or swelling may take place after the upper lip is injected to fix a gummy smile. The small mosquito like marks will only last a matter of minutes. Any redness or swelling can easily be concealed with makeup. Do note that if too much muscle relaxant is used, the upper lip can appear to be flat.

How does an individual know if they are a good candidate for muscle relaxers if they suffer from a gummy smile?

Good candidates for having muscle relaxers injected into the upper lip for a gummy smile are those that want a quick solution. Those that are self conscious about showing too much gum are excellent candidates.

Forehead Wrinkles

Forehead Wrinkles: Prevention, Causes and Treatment

Forehead wrinkles are one of the first signs of ageing and for many it is the most visible sign. Individuals may get frown lines, or vertical lines that are between the eyebrows, while others get more of a horizontal line running straight across the forehead. Some individuals may wind up getting both kinds of forehead wrinkles. These forehead wrinkles are caused by the sun and the damage it has done to the skin. Many will say stress or frustration causes forehead wrinkles, but as we find it, the main reason is the sun and how the sun had interacted with the skin over the years. Other causes of forehead wrinkles include repeated facial expressions and inevitably ageing.

Ways to prevent forehead wrinkles include wearing a sunscreen each day. Choose an SPF of at least 30, and apply before heading outdoors. One may also wear a wide brimmed hat to protect the forehead better. Avoid smoking, as cigarettes inhibit collagen production among other damage that smoking may do to the skin. Get at least 8 solid hours of sleep a night, and apply a quality day cream during the day and a night cream at night. And always remember to be gentle with the skin, as skin is more delicate as individual’s age. Consuming vitamin A, C, E, and K rich foods will help skin maintain a younger looking appearance, and keep the skin healthy in general.
