Denver Skin Care Doctor Endorses Clarisonic The warm Denver sun often leads to a fulfilling lifestyle in the outdoors, which could include many things – gardening, playing catch with the kids, barbecuing, or exercising.

With the dizzying array of surgical and non surgical treatments available, how does one navigate through the marketing claims to find the right solution for them?

When I was a young man, I used to watch my father shave in the mirror as I mimicked his every move in the sink next to him.

What treats eye spasms, muscle contractures, hyperhidrosis, and most recently, chronic migraines? The answer comes from the 1950’s discovery where scientists found botulinum toxin (BOTOX®) to reduce muscle spasms in the human body.

With summer right around the corner, the amount of tattoos that pop out for viewing are as common as mandals (men’s sandals)!

Every spring, many of our patients seek our advice for the simplest ways to refresh their appearance. At Colorado Skin and Vein, we offer a variety of aesthetic options.

It’s time to spring forward and shed the winter doldrums. For some of us, we may not look as young and fresh as we feel due to facial wrinkles. We’ve all heard of Botox, but a common question is, “Is Botox safe?”

At our office, we have a lot of patients come in wanting to know how to get rid of brown spots. In Denver, and other geographic areas with high altitudes, there are more people who are affected by brown spots.

What is venous reflux? In this day and age with WebMD and Google, many patients have attempted to do what we call “self diagnosis”. With that said, many of our patients come in and ask us, “What is venous reflux?”

Finding the right varicose vein doctor might seem simple, but we see so many patients who have gone to doctors who either didn’t specialize in varicose vein treatments or didn’t have the right equipment for varicose veins.

Tired of people asking if you if you’re under the weather, didn’t get sleep the night before, or if you’re upset? Are your eyes making you look worse or older than you feel?

Many of our patients have come to us very frustrated with the previous information or acne scar treatments they have received.

Let the marketing wars begin! Botox throw the first shot at their new competitor Dysport by offering a $50 rebate on any Botox procedure over $200. Now Dysport has answered with their own rebate of $75 off.

The most common questions asked in my office are about laser skin tightening and wrinkle removal. Patients want to know which laser treatments work the best.

This year in order to give back the Colorado Skin and Vein has teamed up with Food Bank of the Rockies to help combat hunger in Denver!

I have had many question about the Zerona body contouring system and if it works. The premise of this device is to use low level light therapy to get your body to dissolve fat.

What is Dysport? Dysport is an injectable protein that was approved by the FDA in April of 2009. It works much like Botox in order to relax facial wrinkles.

With the approval of Dysport by the FDA on April 30, of this year the question on most people’s mind is, “What are the differences between Botox and Dysport?”

We often get questions about what patients can do to decrease the amount of bruising or swelling after a procedure. Patients want to know what are the most effective ways to make bruising and swelling go away.

Recently there has been a huge wave of media attention about treating scars with the Active FX and Deep FX on shows like 20/20 and The Insider.

We are currently looking for new patients to test out a new stretch mark treatment. We are doing some studies on treating stretch marks with the Active FX and Deep FX. It does not matter if your stretch marks are old or new, red or white.

I routinely give my patients a Vicodin and Prednisone (an oral steroid to help swelling) immediately before their procedure and send them home with a prescription for 5 more of the Vicodin and 4 days worth of Prednisone.

We were one of the first offices in the country to use the Active and Deep FX lasers and milia are fairly rare if you use the right post care ointment. Immediately after the procedure the skin will be very hot for about 2-4 hours.

When treating chronic daily headache or migraines with Botox, most doctors will use a modified “Follow the Pain” approach.

Botox is extremely effective for Hyperhidrosis. According to a study published in The Journal of Drugs and Dermatology this year that compared Aluminum Chloride deodorants (Drysol) to Botox, patients had 92% satisfaction with Botox vs. only 29%...

Unfortunately the answer is very much no. Your friend’s doctor is doing something both unethical and illegal.

A vial of Botox cost all physicians about the same and contains 100 units of Botox. The vial comes as a dry power which is reconstituted with sterile saline. Different providers use different amounts of saline.

If you have fairly dark hair the simple answer is a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser (Cynosure Elite, Candela Gentle YAG and Cutera Coolglide). As long as the hair is darker than the skin you should be able to treat it with no problem.

The new SmartLipo MPX has two wavelengths (1064nm and 1320nm) vs. the Slim Lipo (920nm). Although Palomars 920nm Slim Lipo may look like a good wavelength for fat on paper it actually may not work as well.

There are several “Skin Tightening” devices, and none are created equally. The two main categories are: Ablative (vaporized some elements of the skin) Non-ablative.

IPL or Intense Pulsed Light is not actually a laser. Lasers by definition are single wavelengths devises, like the red light that comes out of your laser pointer. IPLs are more like a flashlight with full range of wavelengths of light.

Latisse, the first and only FDA approved lash lengthening product is finally here! Unlike RevitaLash which has not been tested by the FDA, Latisse has been proven in clinical trials to make lashes longer, thicker and darker.

The real answer is that we don’t know. Treatments such as Total FX (combination of Active and Deep FX) and the Fraxel Repair have only been studied for the last couple of years.

Cryo 6: We just received our new Cryo 6 cooler. This is a small unit that blows extremely cold air over the skin to make treatments so much more comfortable.

After almost six months of focused efforts I have finished with the new online primer course for the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery’s (ASLMS) Fundamentals course.
