“Tightening and Lightening” Plus Sublative Rejuvenation
PART 1: TIGHTENING YOUR SKIN
What is skin laxity and how can we treat it?
The skin becomes lax, and has more of a “hanging” appearance, due to damage to and loss of collagen and elastin. Skin laxity can be attributed to the natural part of aging but it is also relate to sun damage.
How can we treat skin laxity? There are surgical options such as traditional surgery (facelift) and deep peels that help restore collagen and tighten the appearance of the skin. There are different ways to treat skin laxity non-surgically and that includes light based, radio frequency, and focused ultrasound treatments.
Treating skin laxity non-surgically involves sustained heating of the dermis. The immediate effect is collagen contraction and the long term effect results in the stimulation of new collagen to be produced. When we heat the dermis in these tightening treatments, the epidermis (outermost layers of the skin) are protected.
Who are the best clients for a skin tightening treatment at Evolutions? Age is not a barrier. Clients can range in age from 30 to 80+ years. Best results are usually seen with clients that have a minimum amount of excess fat in the area of concern and when their skin is neither very thin or very thick. Non-surgical tightening is great for someone who wants to address their skin laxity but is not ready for surgery. It is important to have realistic expectations. Skin tightening treatments at Evolutions can turn back the clock a few years, but not decades.
Titan Skin Tightening Treatment
Titan uses an infrared light to heat the dermis, well beneath the surface of the skin. The heating contracts existing collagen and stimulates new collagen to be produced.
On the right is a before and after photo (courtesy of John Hunts, M.D.) of a Titan treatment on the eyelids. The “after” photo was taken two weeks after the 5th treatment.
Titan treatments can be done on many areas of the body including the jawline, under the chin, and the abdomen to tighten the skin and reverse the signs of aging. Results are cumulative and most clients have two to four treatments over a few months although a single treatment may produce good results for some.
ReFirme™ Skin Tightening Treatment
ReFirme™ features the revolutionary elōs technology which simultaneously combines the power of bi-polar radio frequency (RF) and light energies to precisely heat the dermal tissue in the targeted treatment area.
ReFirme™ treatments can help be done safely and effectively on the face, neck, abdomen, upper arms, and knees. In addition to improving skin laxity, it also addresses wrinkles and textural irregularities.
Total Tightening Treatment at Evolutions
This treatment combines ReFirme™ and Titan into one treatment to maximize the benefits of both treatments. Total Tightening synergistically works to heat the entire upper half of the dermis. With each treatment, the existing collagen is tightened as well as stimulating new collagen production that results in tighter, “fresher” skin.
The results are cumulative and therefore we recommend a package that includes 4 treatments done four to six weeks apart. Total Tightening is truly “the best of both worlds” in non-surgical skin tightening technology and is exclusive to Evolutions Medical Spa.
PART 2: LIGHTENING – IMPROVING EXCESS PIGMENTATION
What is pigmentation? Pigmentation refers to the coloring of person’s skin, often it is the word pigmentation is used when it is distinctive or in excess (as in spots on the skin). Pigmentation is created by melanin in the skin. Different skin types have different levels of melanocytes and that is how different skin colors occur.
Why does the body produce melanin? Melanin is produced at a normal level based on skin type. However, when the skin is exposed to trauma, inflammation, or exposure to the sun (a suntan is equal to a skin injury), the amount of melanin rises in response to these events. Melanin can also be accentuated by hormones, birth control pills, and pregnancy.
When Pigmentation Problems Arise Over-stimulated melanocytes create appearance problems such as sun damage, age spots, “liver” spots, freckles, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and melasma (dermal and epidermal pigmentation).
Treatment for Pigmentation There are quite a few options for excess pigmentation:
Sunscreen: prevention is your best defense against pigmentation. Use it daily, year round!
Home Care: bleaching agents can help to lighten the skin while exfoliating agents can help to brighten the skin. Recommended bleaching agents are Obagi Clear, C-RX Night (with hydroquinone), Revale Illuminesse Brightening Complex, Nia24 products, and retinoids. Exfoliating agents increase cell turnover to freshen the skin. Examples of effective exfoliating agents are alpha-hydroxy acids, amino fruit acids (AFA Exfoliating Gel), and retinoids.
Chemical Peels: exfoliate and increase cell turnover in a short amount of time with chemical peels. Recommended chemical peels offered at Evolutions include the Clay Mask Peel, Alpha Beta Peel, Jessner’s Peel, and Obagi Blue Peel. Read in depth about what chemical peels do, how they feel, and descriptions of all the chemical peels offered at Evolutions in this blog post.
Vibradermabrasion: treat superficial pigmentation problems with no downtime through Vibraderm, a physical exfoliation. Adding on a Vibraderm treatment to facials and peels as a pre-treatment will improve the penetration of the products and/or the peel. Vibraderm does not have a suction component to the treatment so there is no risk of broken capillaries as there is with a microdermabrasion treatment.
Light-based Treatments: use intense pulsed light (IPL) and radio frequency technology to reduce excess pigmentation. They are safe and non-invasive.
FotoFacial RF™: this is the “gold standard” for the treatment of pigmentation and works deeper than most chemical peels. It is available in a series or in combination with other treatments such as a FotoPeel, FotoPeel Plus, and FotoFacial Genesis packages.
Q-Plus C (Q-Switched Laser): this laser can treat spots individually or can treat an entire area with our new Q-Peel package. The Q-Switched Laser works in pulses of billionths of a second to “explode” pigment. It can treat pigmentation issues (spots) as well as tattoos of all colors.
Sublative Rejuvenation Plus DNA Repair (New!):a fractional resurfacing device that uses radiofreqency energy instead of light to treat wrinkles, pigment, acne scarring, skin laxity, tone and texture. A Sublative Rejuvenation treatment has less downtime and discomfort than older fractional laser devices (i.e., the Fraxel). A DNA stem cell ampoule is now included with the treatment. The stem cell ampoule introduces genetically flawless live stem cells which influences the older cells to replicate stronger, healthier, more youthful-looking skin cells. This is an FDA-approved treatment that is clinically proven to renew compromised skin. Sublative Rejuvenation can be combined with other light-based treatments such as the FotoFacial RF™ or Total Tightening.
Chemabrasion: this surgical procedure combines a deep peel with dermabrasion. It treats wrinkles, sun damage, and pigmentation issues. The change can be dramatic. Downtime is approximately one week. This is done by Dr. Perkins at Cosmetic Surgery Center located near Cottage Hospital. Please call his office at 805-563-0000 for a consultation.
In conclusion, Dr. Perkins stressed the importance of daily use of sunscreen. The best way to treat sun damage is to prevent it! When pigment issues do arise, Evolutions offers a number of medical spa treatment options, for all areas of the body, with “at home” options also available.
Evolutions always offers a complimentary consultation for your skin concerns. Please call us at 805-687-0212 to make an appointment or fill out our online consultation form.
What stands in the way of luminous skin? For many of us, it is an issue of pigmentation. Pigmentation, also referred to as age spots, “liver” spots, freckles, is caused by melanin. Melanin is produced as a protection to the skin in response to sun exposure (a sun “tan” is actually a skin injury), trauma, or inflammation. Melanin can also be influenced by hormones, birth control pills, and pregnancy. Appearance problems occur when melanocytes are over stimulated such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (from pimples) or melasma, which is a broad patch of pigmentation that can occur in the epidermal or dermal layers of the skin.
How do we get rid of pigmentation? Below are the options that Dr. Perkins outlined for us:
While Evolutions offers a variety of services that are effective in the treatment of pigmentation problems, Dr. Perkins stressed that it is also important to practice diligent home care to prevent or lighten pigmentation. The #1 recommendation from Dr. Perkins is to wear your sunscreen daily! The fact is that more than half of UV exposure is “incidental” exposure such as sitting near a window, driving in your car, walking outside to chat with your neighbor, you get the picture! UVA actually goes through glass, so you aren’t protected in your car or at your window office.
Evolutions offers a variety of bleaching agents and hydroquinone (which stops the formation of pigment from being formed). Some product recommendations:
Obagi Clear and C-Rx Night: a product with hydroquinone as an active ingredient that helps to fade unwanted pigment
Revale Illuminating Serum: has the highest potency of antioxidants – good anti-oxidation helps skin repair
Nia24: helps skin repair at the DNA level which normalizes pigmentation
Retinoids (“Retin A”, “Tretinoin”): help normalize cell differentiation
Combination Prescription Products (“Firm and Fade”): offered exclusively at Evolutions that combines Retin-A, hydroquinone, and a low potency steroid (used to calm down inflammation)
In addition to using a brightening/lightening product, you may want to add in a product that encourages cell turnover. Products that contain alpha-hydroxy acids, amino fruit acids, and retinoids are all good choices.
Vibraderm is done using abrasive aluminum paddles that provide a gentle abrasion. It is faster than microdermabrasion and does not have a vacuum component (which can cause broken capillaries). This physical exfoliation is used to treat superficial pigment problems with no downtime. It will improve the penetration of products / peels and is great as a stand alone service or in conjunction with a peel or facial.
LIGHT-BASED TREATMENTS : FOTOFACIAL RF
This “Gold Standard” treatment of pigmentation uses Intense Pulsed Light / Radiofrequency to target pigment and “red” areas. A FotoFacial works deeper than most chemical peels and can significantly improve your skin texture by reducing redness, age spots, sun damage, spider veins, fine lines (although not a treatment for wrinkles) and large pores. We offer the FotoFacial in a series or in combination with other treatments (FotoPeel, FotoPeel Plus, and FotoFacial Genesis Packages), depending on an individual’s needs.
Chemical peels are a “controlled” injury to the skin that causes a deep, even exfoliation. At Evolutions we offer different depths of peels (from light to medium to deep).
AFA Peels: the alpha-hydroxy peel is a “light” peel for those who want the benefits of a peels without a large amount of actual peeling. This peel can be done alone or in a series of five (recommended).
Alpha Beta Peel: this is the most popular peel at Evolutions. It is a medium-depth physical exfoliation and works well to get rid of superficial sun damage and is a great choice for clients who want to see results in 4-5 days.
Obagi Blue Peel: this is the deepest peel offered. It will significantly improve your complexion. You will have firmer, clearer, smoother, healthier skin.
LIGHT-BASED TREATMENTS: Q-SWITCHED LASER
This newest laser is used for our newest service – tattoo removal. It delivers laser energy so rapidly that it breaks up pigment without excessive heating of the surrounding tissue. Currently we are testing how effectively it can treat stubborn brown pigmentation. Stay tuned at a later date for more information on the Q-Switched Laser!
This unique fractional resurfacing device uses radiofrequency energy instead of light to safely treat all skin types. Sublative Rejuvenation is used to treat wrinkles, pigment, acne scarring, skin laxity, tone and texture. There is less downtime and discomfort than older fractional laser devises (i.e. the Fraxel) and it can be combined with other light-based treatments (such as the FotoFacial RF or Total Tightening) for customizable treatment options.
This surgical procedure done by Dr. Perkins at Cosmetic Surgery Center in Santa Barbara (near Cottage Hospital) combines a deep peel with dermabrasion (not microdermabrasion). It treats wrinkles, sun damage, and pigment. You will be very impressed with the results. For more information, contact Cosmetic Surgery Center at 805.563.0000.
The best way to treat sun damage is to prevent it by using your sunscreen daily (on your face, neck, and decolletage). When pigment issues arise, there are a number of treatment options available at Evolutions and “at home”. Pigmentation can be treated on all areas of the body.
At Evolutions we always offer a complimentary consultation. If you are interested in one of our medical spa services, or simply looking for a new home care routine, call us at 805.687.0212 to make an appointment (or book online).
Skin laxity is a result of damage and loss of collagen and elastin – the structural components of the dermis. Collagen provides the rigidity to connective tissues and elastin allows them stretch. As we age collagen loses elasticity and our skin sags. Sun damage also plays a role in aging the skin as well.
How can we treat skin laxity?
There are several options including:
Surgical options such as traditional surgery (face lifts) or deep peels (chemabrasion).
How does treating skin laxity non-surgically work?
It has been found that sustained heating of the dermis works to treat skin laxity. The immediate effect is collagen contraction and long term stimulation of collagen remodeling.
Who is a good candidate for non-surgical skin tightening treatments?
Age is not a barrier – clients can be anywhere from 30 to 80+ years old
Clients who have a minimum amount of excess fat in the area of concern and those with skin that is neither very thin or very thick
Clients who have realistic expectations – the non-surgical procedures can turn back the clock a few years, not decades
A great candidate is someone who is not ready for surgery but still wants to tighten the skin
Skin tightening options available at Evolutions:
Titan: the Titan is a safe infrared light that heats the dermis as well as the skin’s surface. The heating contracts the collagen and stimulates new collagen to be produced.
ReFirme: ReFirme is an FDA cleared non-invasive skin tightening procedure that features elōs technology – a combination of bi-polar radio frequency (RF) and optical energy.
Total Tightening: Dr. Perkins has developed an exclusive protocol combining the technologies or ReFirme and Titan into one treatment called Total Tightening. This treatment synergistically works to heat the entire upper half of the dermis. It is exclusive to Evolutions Medical Spa. A series of 4 treatments is recommended for best results.
Why do you recommend skin tightening treatments in a series?
Laser and light-based treatments are generally done in a series because the energy necessary to cause dramatic change in the skin (which cause injury and then recovery, which is what grows new skin) cannot be accomplished in a single treatment, instead it is the cumulative effects of multiple treatments that yield the best results. If, after a few treatments, a client sees the results they are looking for, they can save the remaining treatments to be used as “maintenance” at a later date.
Part II: SKIN LIGHTENING – Improve Excess Pigmentation
What is pigmentation?
Pigmentation is created by melanin in the skin. Melanin is produced by melanocytes. Different skin types have different levels of melanocyte activity – therefore different skin colors occur within people.
Why does the body produce melanin?
Normal production of melanin is based on skin type. Melanin levels rise in response to sun exposure (such as a sun tan which is equal to a skin injury), trauma, and inflammation. Extra melanin can also be produced due to hormones, birth control pills, and pregnancy.
When do pigmentation problems occur?
If melanocytes are over-stimulate, appearance problems can occur such as:
Sun damage also referred to as age spots, “liver” spots, freckles
Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation can occur with pimples
Melasma – a broad patch of pigmentation – can occur in the dermal or epidermal layers of the skin
Treatment for pigmentation problems The following highlights products and services that are available at Evolutions to treat a number of pigmentation problems.
Sunscreen: your best defense against pigmentation is to prevent it! Year round, daily use of sunscreen is always recommended!
Home Care: there are two categories of home care products that can help lighten and brighten the skin – bleaching agents and exfoliating agents.
Home care bleaching agents: Obagi Clear, C-Rx Night (with hydroquinone), the newest, fastest lightening agent Elure (read more about Elure in a recent blog post), Revale Illumenesse Brightening Complex, Nia24 products, and retinoids (“Retin-A”). At Evolutions we compound our Tretinoin to reduce the price for clients.
Exfoliating agents assist in increasing cell turnover: products with alpha-hydroxy acids, amino fruit acids and retinoids all help to expedite cell turnover (which slows as we age).
Chemical Peels: the fastest way to exfoliate and increase cell turnover is through a chemical peel. Available in multiple strengths, from light to deep, chemical peels can make a dramatic difference in the skin in a matter of days (somewhere between 5 to 10 days, with the skin continuing to improve thereafter). The peels available at Evolutions are:
Vibradermabrasion: this service provides a physical exfoliation that can treat superficial pigment problems (with no downtime). It also is a great add-on service to facials and as a preparation for peels as it will improve the penetration of product or the peel. Vibraderm is superior to the popular microdermabrasion treatment because there is no suction component to it (which can cause broken capillaries).
Light-Based Treatments: these treatments are safe and non-invasive, using intense pulsed light (IPL) and radio frequency technology to diminish imperfections in the skin such as excess pigment as well as “red” areas. The FotoFacial RF is the “gold standard” for treatment of pigmentation and it works deeper than most chemical peels. The FotoFacial is available in a series or in combination with other treatments (FotoPeel, FotoPeel Plus, and FotoFaical Genesis Package).
*NEW* Light-Based Treatment: Evolutions just acquired the brand new Q-Plus C (Q-switched laser) light-based treatment that is able to treat tattoos of all colors and a variety of pigmentation issues.
Sublative Rejuvenation: this fractional surfacing device uses radio frequency energy, instead of light, to treat wrinkles, pigment, acne scarring, skin laxity, tone and texture. There is less downtime and less discomfort that older fractional laser devices (such as the Fraxel) and customizable treatment options are available. Sublative Rejuvenation can be combined with other light-based treatments such as the FotoFacial RF or Total Tightening.
Chemabrasion: this is a surgical procedure that combines a deep peel with dermabrasion. Chemabrasion is a more aggressive option to treat acne scarring and deep wrinkles. The change can be very dramatic. Down time is approximately one week.
Part III: CONCLUSION
The best way to treat sun damage is to prevent it by daily use of sunscreen. When pigment issues arise, there are a number of treatment options available, both at Evolutions and at home. All areas of the body can be treated for pigmentation problems.
Evolutions Medical Spa’s Educational Event last week addressed skin pigmentation and how to “correct” hyperpigmentation concerns. If you have pigmentation concerns, there is no better time than now to address this! Often pigmentation correction may take more than a single treatment so plan ahead, especially if you have a special event in the future that you may want your skin to look glowing and perfect for! Evolutions always extends a complimentary consultation for further questions and information. Fill out our online consultation form or call 805-687-0212 to schedule an appointment.
What is Pigmentation?
Melanin in the skin causes pigmentation – that varies by an individual’s skin color (darker skin has more melanin, lighter skin has less).
Melanin is produced for protection in response to sun exposure (for example, a sun tan is really an “injury” to the skin), trauma, inflammation.
Melanin can be influenced by hormones, birth control pills and pregnancy (the “mask of pregnancy” often appears as melasma, darker spots, on the cheeks).
What if Melanocytes are Over-Stimulated?
Appearance problems of the skin occur when melanocytes are over-stimulated. This hyperpigmentation is commonly referred to as brown spots, age spots, liver spots, and/or sun damage.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can also occur from pimples.
Melasma – a broad patch of pigmentation – can occur and can be in the epidermal or dermal layers of the skin.
Epidermal pigmentation is more readily treated because of the location – the outer-most layer of the skin. Dermal region pigmentation can be more stubborn to treat. At Evolutions, we use a Wood’s Lamp – a diagnostic dermatology tool – to look at a client’s hyperpigmentation location to find a treatment best suited for them.
Hyperpigmentation Prevention: Use Your Sunblock Daily!
Before we address pigmentation correction treatment options, we want to stress that prevention is key! Santa Barbara cosmetic surgeonDr. Terry Perkins recommends using a sunblock that is at least SPF 30 and is a physical block – one that contains titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide. Physical sunblocks reflect the sun’s energy whereas chemical sunscreens heat the skin up.
Dr. Perkins and the Evolutions staff recommend to clients a highly effective sunblock called TIZO3 SPF 40. TIZO is free of paraben, oil, PABA and fragrance. It gives the skin superb protection while leaving the skin with a silky, smooth, matte finish. TIZO products are available at Evolutions.
Hyperpigmentation Treatment Options
Home Care: There are many skin lightening agents on the market that are available at your local drugstore or through a physician’s office. Dr. Perkins recommends the Obagi Nu-Derm or Obagi-C Rx programs, PCA Brightening Therapy, NIA 24, and retinoids (also known as “Retin A” or “tretinoin”). Another home care option, maybe in addition to a skin brightening/lightening agent, is to increase cell turnover through products with alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), amino fruit acids, and, again, retinoids.
Chemical Peels: a chemical peel is a “controlled” injury to the skin that creates enough injury to cause an exfoliation. Evolutions offers chemical peels in different strengths, depending on your overall goal and the amount of downtime you may have to dedicate to the process. Read more about chemical peels, what they can do for you, and the types that are offered at Evolutions in a previous blog post dedicated to them.
Vibraderm: a superficial exfoliation using abrasive aluminum paddles that provides a gentle abrasion that is faster than microdermabrasion and does not have a vacuum component (which can cause broken capillaries). Great in a series or with in conjunction with other procedures as it will improve the penetration of treatment products and chemical peels.
FotoFacial RF™: an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment with a broad spectrum of light that gives the FotoFacial RF™ the ability to treat different parts of the skin as the light is absorbed at different levels. The FotoFacial RF™ significantly improves your skin texture and appearance by reducing redness or rosacea, age spots, sun damage, spider veins, fine lines, uneven pigmentation and large pores. It is not a treatment for wrinkles. Your skin may be pink on the day of treatment but other than that, there is little down time.
Sublative Rejuvenation: the newest fractional resurfacing device on the market that uses radiofrequency and can treat any skin color. It can treat mild to moderate wrinkles, brown spots, and can improve the appearance of acne scars and textural irregularities. There is less discomfort with this newer treatment in comparison to the older Matrix RF treatment and the down time is not as long.
Chemabrasion: this treatment is done at Cosmetic Surgery Center by Dr. Perkins. It combines a mid-dermis peel with dermabrasion. For more information on chemabrasion, set up a consultation with Dr. Perkins at Cosmetic Surgery Center, 805-563-0000.
Every person is unique and so is their skin type and pigmentation issues. If you are interested in receiving a personalized pigmentation correction plan, schedule a complimentary consultation at Evolutions by calling 805-687-0212. We would be happy to customize a treatment plan for you!
At Evolutions Medical Spa, we continue to receive excellent feedback from our clients on our newest procedure, Sublative Rejuvenation. There is little to no pain associated with the treatment and it can be used to effectively treat and improve:
Skin irregularities (i.e., acne scarring)
General tone, texture, and color of skin
Skin laxity (including the face and chest!)
Mild to moderate wrinkles
Sun damage, age spots, and other unwanted pigmentation
Though it’s a great treatment by itself, Santa Barbara cosmetic surgeonDr. Perkins has recently finished protocols for combination treatments with Sublative/Total Tightening (for the best non-invasive tightening procedure available anywhere) and Sublative/FotoFacial (for a “supercharged” skin rejuvenation series). Most of these combo treatments include product credit so you can combine the in office treatments with medical grade home care for maximum benefit!
Finally, there are new “small area” treatment tips available at a reduced price. These are perfect for around the eyes and mouth or for concentrated problem areas (such as acne scarring on the cheeks).
Call Evolutions at 805-687-0212 for more information or to book a complimentary consultation.
Deep Peels: Chemabrasion, a deep peel that superficially destroys the epidermis and dermis, done under general anesthesia.
There are also successful non-surgical treatments:
Light-based treatment: such as the FotoFacial RF (photo rejuvenation), the safest and most effective intense pulsed light (IPL)-based treatment today.
Radiofrequency treatment: such as Sublative Rejuvenation, the newest skin resurfacing device with less downtime and discomfort.
How Do We Treat Skin Laxity Non-Surgically?
We have found that sustained heating of the dermis (the cells below the skin and the epidermis) has both short term and long term effects: Immediately it stimulates collagen contraction, which helps to tighten the skin while it also promotes long term stimulation of collagen remodeling – maintaining a strong collagen “support system” gives the skin strength and resilience.
Who Can Be Treated Non-Surgically for Skin Laxity?
Clients that have the best results have a minimum amount of excess fat in the area of concern and who have skin that is neither very thin or very thick.
Clients can be anywhere from 30 to 80+ years.
When treating skin laxity non-surgically, clients must acknowledge that the treatments will turn back the clock a few years, not decades!
Someone who is not ready for surgery, but ready to see a difference in their skin, is a great candidate.
Titan uses an infrared light source to heat the dermis well below the skin’s surface. This heating contracts existing collagen and stimulates growth of new collagen. Although a single treatment may show a change in your skin, a series of two to four treatments is recommended for optimum results. Downtime is minimal, with maybe some mild swelling and redness for a few hours post-treatment. Clients have been successfully treated on many areas of the body. The most common areas treated are the jawline, under the chin, and the abdomen.
ReFirme™ combines Bi-Polar Radio Frequency and Light energies to heat the dermal tissue within the targeted treatment area. Using significantly less optical energy than lasers and IPL’s, it ensures enhanced safety and a virtually painless procedure. It helps skin laxity, sagginess, wrinkles and textural irregularities and most patients see gradual and cumulative results throughout the treatment regimen. Common treated areas are the face, neck, abdomen, upper arms and knees.
Total Tightening is an exclusive protocol designed by Dr. Perkins that most effectively addresses skin laxity without needles or surgery. Total Tightening combines ReFirme™ and Titan into one treatment to synergistically heat the entire upper half of the dermis. A series of 4 treatments is recommended for best results. Total Tightening is exclusive to Evolutions Medical Spa Santa Barbara!
Part 2: Skin Lightening – Improving Excess Pigmentation
What is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation is melanin in the skin. Melanin is produced by melanocytes and different skin types have differing levels of melanocyte activity.
Why Does the Body Produce Melanin?
Every body has a normal production of melanin. The body also produces melanin in response to sun exposure (suntan = skin injury), trauma, and inflammation. Melanin production can be accentuated by hormones, birth control pills, and pregnancy.
If melanocytes are over stimulated, appearance problems can occur and can be commonly referred to as sun spots, age spots, “liver” spots, and freckles.
Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) can cause darkening and discoloration as a result of an inflammatory reaction, or injury, to the skin. Common causes are scratches, burns, cuts, bruises or even certain rashes.
Melasma, darkening patches of the skin, usually appears on the face (although it can develop on the forearms and neck) and can be triggered by pregnancy, birth control pills, photosensitive drugs, sun exposure.
Treatment for Hyper Pigmentation
Sunscreen: Proactively protect your facial and chest skin year round using a good sun block every day.
Home Care: There are products that can be used at home to fade pigmentation (bleaching agents) and increase cell turnover.
Bleaching agents: Recommended bleaching agents are the Obagi Clear, which is Step 3 in the Obagi Nu-Derm system, Obagi C-RX Night Cream, both contain Hydroquinone, PCA Brightening Therapy, Nia24 products and retinoids.
Increase cell turnover: Alpha-Hydroxy Acids, Amino Fruit Acids and Retinoids all play a roll in expediting cell turnover.
Chemical Peels: Chemical exfoliation, which is what happens when a chemical peel is done, helps to achieve / maintain clear and youthful skin, especially because as we age, the natural exfoliation process tends to slow down, leaving skin dry and dull. Evolutions offers three types of chemical peels:
Phase Five Peel (light peel): low irritation and not a lot of actual peeling – a series of five is recommended.
Alpha Beta Peel (medium peel): a more aggressive medium-depth peel that stimulates new collagen and elastin. Clients usually see results in as little as four to five days.
Obagi Blue Peel (deep peel): the most aggressive peel that will significantly improve the complexion, leaving the skin firmer, clearer, smoother and healthier. Particularly good for pigmentation issues too.
Vibradermabrasion: a physical exfoliation to stimulate collagen. Vibraderm keeps your skin looking young and can be used to treat superficial pigmentation problems (with no downtime) and, in addition, improves penetration of products / peels. It is superior to microdermabrasion because there is no suction, which can cause broken capillaries.
Light-based Treatments: The FotoFacial RF is the “gold standard” for treatment of pigmentation. It works deeper than most chemical peels and is available in a series or combination with other treatments (FotoPeel, FotoPeel Plus, and Foto Genesis Packages).
Sublative Rejuvenation: The newest fractional resurfacing device available that is used to treat wrinkles, pigment, acne scarring, skin laxity, tone and texture that uses radiofrequency energy instead of light, so it is safe for all skin types. Less downtime and discomfort than older fractional laser devices, with customizable treatments available. Sublative Rejuvenation can be combined with other light-based treatments such as the FotoFacial RF or Total Tightening.
Chemabrasion: a surgical procedure that combines a deep peel with dermabrasion with approximately a one-week downtime. Chemabrasion treats wrinkles, sun damage and pigmentation issues.
In conclusion, Dr. Perkins stressed that the best way to treat sun damage is to prevent it – use sunscreen daily, year round. When pigment issues arise, however, there are a number of treatment options – from “at home” care to treatments at Evolutions.

CJC 1295 & Ipamorelin Therapy
CJC 1295/Ipamorelin Therapy and The Carragher Method
The Carragher Method offers CJC 1295/Ipamorelin therapy to clients through individually tailored treatment plans. Using CJC 1295/Ipamorelin therapy with The Carragher Method can help you finally reach your goals of feeling more energetic, being more physically active, looking younger, and feeling confident about yourself.
Let Dr. Carragher help you achieve your age-management goals with CJC 1295/Ipamorelin therapy.
What Is CJC 1295/Ipamorelin Therapy
CJC 1295/Ipamorelin is a powerful, non-steroidal, selective growth hormone secretagogue that mimics GHRH (growth hormone-releasing hormone). It’s primarily used to treat muscular aging and muscle wasting due to physical inactivity and HGH decline.
CJC 1295 acts on cells in your pituitary gland called pituitary somatotropes to increase their responsiveness to growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) through treatment with CJC1295/Ipamorelin.
That said, CJC 1295/Ipamorelin therapy increases your levels of human growth hormone in the blood. As a result, it can improve muscle mass and strength, reduce body fat, speed up injury recovery, and even improve sleep quality and cognitive function.
Benefits of CJC 1295/Ipamorelin Therapy
CJC 1295/Ipamorelin therapy offers many benefits to people. The use of CJC 1295/Ipamorelin results in an increase in lean muscle mass, increased fat loss, improved physical performance, and general anti-aging.
With these benefits, our clients experience an increase in their quality of life without worrying about strength or stamina when enjoying their favorite activities such as playing sports or traveling for extended periods.
What Sets The Carragher Method Apart from Other Anti-Aging Clinics?
Our approach has been developed through Dr. Mike Carragher’s decades of experience working as an age management/anti-aging physician in private practice, allowing us to provide highly individualized care for each patient. We tailor treatments based on medical history, symptoms, physical characteristics, diet, genetics, and lifestyle factors.
Schedule a Consultation
If you’re interested in a personalized treatment plan incorporating CJC 1295/Ipamorelin therapy, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Carragher. During your consultation, he’ll assess your current condition and create a custom anti-aging treatment plan to help improve your quality of life and healthspan.

Enhance Your Look with a CoolSculpting® in Beverly Hills
CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive procedure using freezing temperatures to reduce stubborn, unwanted pockets of fat on the body. This method of freezing fat cells is known as cryolipolysis. CoolSculpting, as an FDA-cleared cosmetic treatment, is recognized to pose fewer risks than other alternative fat-reducing treatments, such as liposuction.
CoolSculpting has shown proven success in removing fat cells in the body. While not meant to be a total weight loss replacement, it is highly effective in eliminating excess fat that struggles to diminish with regular diet and exercise. A successful CoolSculpting procedure and a healthy lifestyle can produce desirable results that will last for years.

CoolSculpting® Before and After
In the gallery above are multiple before and after pictures. On the left, you can see the patient before CoolSculpting, and on the right is the patient after CoolSculpting.
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting utilizes cryolipolysis to freeze and eliminate excess fat in multiple body areas. Since fat cells are more affected by cold temperatures than other cells in the body, it does not damage the skin or any underlying tissue. CoolSculpting is non-invasive, so it does not have any downtime post-treatment.
read more +
CoolSculpting is highly effective in eliminating stubborn areas of fat in the body. Precisely 3-6 months after treatment is when the body removes the broken-down fat tissue. Once the fat cells vanish, they do not return, providing long-lasting results post-procedure.
What Results to Expect:
Unwanted Fat Removal
Long-Lasting, Natural Results
Ability To Treat Many Areas of The Body
How Long Will Results Last?
CoolSculpting delivers permanent, natural-looking results. Since the adult body does not create new fat cells, fat cells enlarge and decrease as weight fluctuates. When fat cells are frozen and eliminated, they do not reappear or regrow. Meaning you can bask in your results for years post-treatment.

CoolSculpting Cost & Pricing Structure
The price of the CoolSculpting procedure is 30-50% less than traditional CoolSculpting surgery. The cost of CoolSculpting ranges depending on: Skin laxity Number treated areas Surgical experience Practice location Other procedures performed concurrently
US National Average: $1,437
Our Price: Costs can vary depending on the provider. Please contact us for an estimate.
Additional Costs: Additional costs are required if more treatments are necessary to achieve desired results. Areas with more fat pockets may require more treatments.

“This is an very friendly facility. Alexa Yontz is amazing and very knowledgable. I have done coolsculpting with her and I have seen great results. I also done some Pellevé treatment for my skin and I love it! Highly recommended!!” Melanie I. New York, NY
“Dr. Nazarian is great. I only met with her briefly, as the work I needed was non-invasive. Having said that, this review is for Alexa. I have been to and consulted with many places in West LA for skin issues and body contouring. Alexa is an expert at cool sculpting. She corrected my abdomen after I received a cool sculpting elsewhere. She sat down with me several times and explained what happened and what needs to be done. She assured me that it was her mission for me to be pleased with my results. I felt heard and taken care of by Alexa. She is honest, professional, and competent, which reflects in the results she achieves for her clients. I am choosing to now have Alexa address my long-standing, acne issues. Trust me. I have done my fair share of research in this town and Alexa was a pleasant surprise. I feel no need to search any longer. I highly recommend Alexa for whatever issues you are struggling with!” N. P.

Pairs Well With
REVISION SKINCARE- BODIFIRM 3.8OZ OR 8OZ
NEW! BodiFirm™ - Because skin on the body is fundamentally different from skin on the face and décolletage, we created BodiFirm™, the first Revision Skincare product specifically formulated to address skin concerns on the body. This clinically-proven formula with patent-pending iFirm™ Technology was designed to help visibly firm, tighten and lift sagging, crepey skin in order to sculpt and tone the body.
Alastin TransFORM Body Treatment was developed to optimize your results when used after fat reduction treatments and it is also used to improve skin quality when used on its own. It has been proven to help accelerate body fat reduction, enhance skin tightening procedure results, and improve skin texture, firmness and crepiness.
This multi-functional hydrating serum is instilled with Hyaluronic Acid and Copper Peptides to help enhance the appearance of skin. Skin is saturated with long-lasting deep hydration from Hyaluronic Acid and Kayo’s Omega Oil Blend, while skin is further layered with Kayo’s antioxidant rich Superfruit Blend, leaving skin energized and radiant. Founder's Notes: This body product was modeled after true high impact face serums, with the quintessential lighter feel and texture of a serum, perfect for layering based on your unique skin type and needs. Moisture is primarily delivered through Hyaluronic Acid (think deep water hydration) rather than topical oil hydration. This product can be used by itself for normal to oily skin, but is recommended under other Kayo products, such as The Body Beautiful Crème or Kayo's Cellular Repair Evening Oil for skin that needs deeper oil based hydration. When layering Kayo's body products use the same technique you would with face products - lighter products like serums first, heavier products like lotions and oils after.
Environ Body DermaLac Lotion contains a medium concentration of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (Lactic acid, Urea, and Ammonium Lactate) for use on rough, sun-damaged and congested skin. It's lightly scented and more watery in consistency. We love this product for the bumpy back of arms and scarring from active or old back acne. This hydrating lotion helps smooth and soften dry, rough skin on the elbows, feet, and knees as well as providing an overall soothing experience. This is a must-have for body exfoliation!
Designed to help enhance the overall look and feel of skin's tone and texture, this 14 ct gold-plated at-home microneedling roller is specifically designed for use on the face specifically in those sensitive areas like under eyes and around the nose and mouth.

The CoolSculpting treatment is currently FDA-approved for nine areas of the body. This treatment is currently not available for all areas of the body. The patient should consult with the treatment provider to build a personalized plan to ensure they get the results that they want.
The CoolSculpting procedure freezes fat cells to remove stubborn fat. Fat cells do not respond well to the cold. When fat cells freeze, they die and are gradually removed from the body. This process happens naturally.
The length of time a CoolSculpting treatment takes may differ. This depends both on the desired area of treatment and the size of that area. Treatments can be completed in as little as 35 minutes but may take up to three hours.
The number of sessions recommended will be different for each patient. This figure is dependent on the patient’s needs and desired look. A single treatment can reduce stubborn fat by up to 25%. The provider will be able to help estimate the number of sessions the patient will need during the initial consultation.
Results are not immediate and may take at least three weeks to be seen. Changes are typically visible one to three months after treatment. Full results may take six months or more. Each individual will see results differently. Some patients will be able to see results faster than others.
Yes, it is possible to gain weight after a CoolSculpting treatment. This procedure is not a weight-loss treatment. Instead, it is used to eliminate stubborn fat that has not responded to a healthy diet and exercise. If patients do not keep up healthy habits, it is possible for them to gain weight. Weight gain will be even and will not occur only in the areas of treatment.
CoolSculpting is a cosmetic procedure that is not covered by insurance typically. Patients must check directly with their insurance providers to assess if the procedure is covered under their plan’s benefits. Many provider offices offer payment plans to help patients gradually pay off the cost of the procedure over time, instead of making them pay in full at the time of the procedure. Discuss payment options with your provider during your consultation to find the treatment method that is best for you.
The most important thing to do after CoolSculpting is to stay cool. Do not do any strenuous activity that may heighten your body temperature, meaning no vigorous exercise or heavy lifting.
Results will be noticeable between 1-3 months post-treatment. It can take up to 6 months for final results to show, as fat cells are removed slowly from the body.
Post-procedure, it is crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle. CoolSculpting goes hand in hand with a healthy diet and exercise, as it is not a weight loss replacement. It is also important to massage the treated area to reduce swelling and drink plenty of water.
Multiple sessions may be required if there is more fat to eliminate or if you desire to treat a larger area. If there is only a small amount of stubborn fat on a smaller section of the body, one treatment may be enough. Typically patients need two treatments to see desired results.
CoolSculpting is overall a safe way to remove fat cells. Common side effects include pain or numbing of the treatment area, rash, bruising, and nausea. These tend to subside quickly post-procedure.
CoolSculpting can eliminate up to 25 percent of fat cells in each treatment area. It can also remove 5-8 liters of body fat, according to the CoolSculpting website. However, depending on the treatment area, multiple sessions may be required to achieve the patient's desired results.

This is their best value Manuka Honey, a very cost-effective way to add the wonderful benefits of Manuka to your daily regime. Take daily for a delicious way to help maintain your good health.
Manuka Honey is the only honey found so far that exhibits non-peroxide activity. This is thought to be due to Methylglyoxal, a unique compound found within this Honey. This makes the honey a powerful digestive aid, assisting with allergies and immune defense. It is a potent anti-bacterial agent when used topically for minor wounds and burns. It is also heat tolerant, enabling it to reach your digestive system without losing any of its beneficial properties.
Pacific Resources sources honey directly from New Zealand bee keepers, who take pride in producing high-quality products.

Special techniques have been used to ensure that this Manuka Honey reaches you in optimum condition, just as nature intended.
Their honey is cool processed; this means the honey is filtered to extract bee particles or bits of honey comb that have fallen in the honey. The honey is 100% raw.
Their PRI Manuka Honey Blend 5+ is cool processed (raw) and independently tested so it is guaranteed to have a MG (methylglyoxal) rating of at least 30mg/kg or greater.
All their honey is certified Kosher.
100% Raw Honey
This is what it looks like when it arrives.
As you can see you can get what you need by slowly slicing into the honey.
This is so delicious. I plan on making homemade biscuits and eating more of this, but right off the spoon is sooooo good. I love honey but this is just plain wonderful. It is so good. Plus it is supposed to help with my stomach issues so that would be a welcome addition.
It is truly amazing what Manuka Honey can do, I found the below information on WebMD:
A recent study suggests that manuka honey may be effective in preventing gingivitis and other periodontal disease by reducing the buildup of plaque. And in 2010, the scientific steering committee of the National Cancer Institute approved a proposal for the use of manuka honey for the reduction of inflammation of the esophagus associated with chemotherapy.
This is amazing to me and there is so much more that it can do. Plus since it is so delicious it is really easy to put into your diet! I truly feel that Pacific Resources is a trusted and high quality brand for your Manuka Honey needs.

Two weeks ago, just as I thought I was recovering from a cold (which I got from my son btw), I woke up with an incredible pain in one of my ears one night. Next morning, when my doctor looked into it, her reaction made it clear why I had so much pain: “Oh no, it is so bad! It is a really bad infection!” And the result? Antibiotics!…And she also recommended taking probiotics. Why?
That was because I have trillions of beneficial bacteria living in my body and while antibiotics kill the harmful bacteria, they also destroy these good ones. And I am not the only one who harbors bacteria J
Yes, you read it right. Each one of us hosts lots of bacteria and these microscopic organisms help us live. Let me express how important they are: We wouldn’t survive without them!
Beneficial bacteria on our skin release substances that stop harmful bacteria or fungi from making a living on our skin. Various bacteria in our guts help us with digestion, influence how we store fat, affect the way we respond to the hormones of hungriness or fullness, and train our immune system for their fight against infections. If the composition of our gut bacteria is altered, we may face obesity, diabetes, immunity-related problems etc.
Where do we get these bacteria from? Well, it all starts with birth. We receive our first bacteria during birth mainly from our mothers, but also from the place we are born in (e.g. hospital or home). After that, we continue to receive bacteria from our mothers via breast milk and skin-to-skin contact, from the food we consume and from our environment via continuous physical contact. Each one of us has their very own specific range of bacteria, which is naturally very similar to their family members’ range of bacteria. The foundations of this unique set of bacterial ‘friends’ are laid within the first 2-3 years of life. Later, we can nourish these friends by choosing food that they like and also by staying away from what harms them.
I was getting rid of the nasty bacteria that caused infection in my ear by taking antibiotics, but unfortunately, I was also killing many of my beneficial friends. This is the setting when probiotics come on stage. (Notice the wording?: Pro- vs Anti- biotic!)
Probiotics are defined as “live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host”*. Such microorganisms occur naturally in products like some yogurt types and kefir, but they are also available as commercially available capsules and powders. Different types of bacteria, already validated to have health benefits clinically, are mixed in these commercial probiotics. There is a wider range of bacteria in commercial probiotics than in yogurt or kefir. So, while consuming such food products on a daily basis is great for our guts, taking commercial probiotics is beneficial when antibiotics are in action in our body. When you take probiotics, you replace some of the bacteria that are lost due to antibiotics, and therefore, support your digestion as well as immune system.
Antibiotics are one of the greatest discoveries of humankind, however, the general consensus is not to take them unless really necessary. And when it is so, like with my ear infection, we shall do our best to support our body and the precious friends within.
Note: Probiotics are NOT recommended for people who have immune system-related disorders or take medication to suppress their immune system, as they may be harmful to these individuals.
