Ageless Remedies in Athens has Solutions for Sundamage

This is a perfect time of the year to work on the pigmentation that has come to the surface of your skin which is the result of sun damage. Since I did a blog earlier on this same material, I have had questions which have led to this blog which explains some of the procedures in greater detail.

Here in Athens we have several ways to reduce or sometimes even eliminate those pigmentation spots that make you feel so self conscious. On the product side we have the Nuderm Obagi kit paired with tretinoin (Retina A) that is used in the morning and night to clear your complexion. This is a prescription grade product that works really well if you are committed to following the regimen.
On the treatment side we have chemical peels, microderms or a paring of the two in a chemibrasion series. This saves you the home regimen that the Nuderm kit requires.

We also offer the Alexandrite setting on the laser which will usually work even faster.

The best thing to do is to make a free consultation appointment with one of our med aestheticians who will look at your medical history and discuss your options. She, (the med-aesthetician), will recommend an additional consult with the nurse practitioner who does the service and will advise you on the treatment and make sure that you are a candidate.

Being a co-owner, I have seen many amazing results with all of these options. I will keep you updated on my treatments and results. After Christmas, I am going to do a Chemibrasion and then do the IPL which is another type of laser which we only have available in Sugarloaf.

Ageless Remedies in Athens has Pigmentation Solutions for Sun Damage

This is a perfect time of the year to work on the pigmentation that has come to the surface of your skin which is the result of sun damage.

Here in Athens we have the aggressive, quicker and more expensive route which includes series of the Cynosure Laser with the Alexandrite setting. This laser will remove your pigmentation over a series of treatments very quickly.

This is not painfree, however there is a air cooler you control to make he heating less evident. An added bonus will be some tightening of the skin.

Come in and see me when I am in Athens and I will show you a test brown spot I had done on my hand that 1/2 of a brown spot turned skin color with one treatment from the Alexandrite setting.

If you want a less expensive route...you can combine microderms with chemical peels...We call these Chemibrasions and you purchase a series. Revision also has a Vitamin C lotion to aid in protecting the skin from the sun.

You also can use the Obagi Nuderm system which is a kit of prescriptive lotions with an added tretinoin (Retina A product) which you do over several weeks and use in the morning and before you go to bed

The best result will be derived if you make a free consult appointment at the store; have your skin analyzed and determine how you are a candidate taking into consideration both your skin type, medication, previous experience, sun damage and the quickness you want to see results.
