Skinspirations Rewards Hurricane Irma Survivors 
Now that the hurricane passed and you're still alive, isn't it time to get back to caring about your appearance?
dr. elliott hurricane reporter
Dr. Elliott reporting live on Skinspirations' 10th day without power or phones
Sorry for the black humor but that's my response to stress, and pretty much everything.
Even though all of us in this area were very lucky not to receive the brunt of Hurricane Irma, she still affected almost all of us emotionally as well as financially. 
Almost everyone who has a job that I've talked to since the hurricane, lost income because of the domino effects of the power and phone outages we experienced. 
All of us at Skinspirations learned how frustrating it was when we had to evacuate our office when we had patients scheduled, and then lost power, phone and internet service for 10 days, and patients couldn't contact us. 
The only way we found to communicate with patients was to notify subscribers of our newsletter and Facebook accounts that they cou ld email me (if they had internet service) through my training email address, and then I forwarded the emails to our patient coordinators. 
The coordinators then called the patients from their personal cell phones to try and set up tentative appointments, that had to be repeatedly rescheduled over and over again during our unanticipated 10 days with no power. 
Since you received this newsletter, you're now on our Hurricane VIP List but you can also get general notifications when we can't otherwise communicate by liking us on Facebook.  Like us on Facebook

Debunking the Myths of Laser Treatments for Darker Skin
Even Laser Hair Removal Can be Performed on The Darkest Skin

from Dermatology Times, Aug. 4,2017 

There are two myths that Eliot Battle Jr., M.D., would like to dispel about using lasers to treat skin of color:  

Myth:  Lasers are not safe for skin of color                                                             

It's been almost 20 years since Dr. Battle and Harvard University researchers first published research demonstrating how practitioners can safely treat skin of color.  "I still have patients who come into my office and tell me their dermatologist or laser center told them that it is not safe to treat skin of color with lasers,"...

Read article

From Dr. Elliott: I have been safely performing laser hair removal on patients with the darkest skin possible since 2005, and have trained physicians here as well as in the Caribbean, since I'm an instructor for Cuter lasers.

Only an ND:YAG 1064 nanometer wavelength laser like our Cutera XEO, with carefully chosen settings, can safely be used with dark skin, and the results are very gratifying when a woman no longer has to shave her face every morning or a man or woman no longer suffers from the bumps and irritation from razor burn. 

Save 20%-35% this month on laser hair reduction treatments with our "I Survived Irma" specials (described in article above).

Have the Most Convincing Scary "Makeup" When You Use the Redness, Swelling &/or Bruising  From Some of Our Favorite Treatments, to Win Best Scary Costume This Halloween!

Some of our treatments produce bruising, redness and/or swelling, which can be unfortunate at other times of the year, but at Halloween, they can work to your advantage if you're planning on wearing a scary costume.

Let your friends wonder how you found such realistic-looking "fake" blood and bruise makeup and just think of the money and time you'll save when you don't have to go to the Spirit store!

Here are a few of our treatments that produce both great results and the most realistic Halloween effects:

Hamburger face
Insiders say that Hannibal Lecter probably just had Profractional to treat his "smoker's lines" when this scene was shot


Profractional Resurfacing  (or what we fondly refer to as the "Hamburger Laser") improves fine lines and crepey skin, and helps you get to the front of the party buffet line faster


SkinPen Microneedling which provides such bright rednes
s the first day after treatment, it's perfect for costumes like "Radiation Victim" and "Devil Man".

Microne edling refines pores, improves texture and superficial scars, while making your teeth and eyes look dramat ically whiter.

Red faced devil
Rick LePrevost, RN, had probably had SkinPen Microneedling performed just before the party


Laser MicroPeels 
remove damaged outer skin layers, s
timulate collagen and provide a great opportunity to wear a mummy bandage.
