April 4th was Vitamin C Day! Vitamin C is an integral part of a good skincare routine year-round but especially helpful in summer weather. When applied topically, Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant for the skin, working to neutralize collagen-damaging free radicals created by UV light or other environmental stressors. We carry several Vitamin C products that are highly effective; ask your provider which Vitamin C product is best for you!

Dr. Wu is Helping Her Patients Be Confident and Ready for Summer!

Small areas of stubborn fat that are diet and exercise-resistant can be reduced or eliminated with small area liposuction. Dr. Wu achieves this with tiny incisions resulting in slight bruising for 1-2 weeks, some gradually reducing swelling for a few months, and returning to the gym as tolerated. Small area liposuction is a highly effective tool to remove pockets of fat on an otherwise fit body. "Many of my patients express a lack of confidence in their bodies, especially in summer when these areas are not disguised with clothing." – Dr. Wu

Another surgical option chosen by many women is breast augmentation. Breast augmentation is a short recovery procedure that brings a natural balance for women with small breasts who want to be confident in their clothing. The augmentation can be performed via fat transfer or implant. With a small incision in the crease under the breast, the muscle quickly accommodates the implant, and as it relaxes, the feeling of stretching will generally diminish within 3-5 days. Most patients are back to work in a week and back to the gym within a month. "My approach to breast augmentation is to provide a subtle natural enhancement that brings balance to the body and help my patients feel comfortable and secure." - Dr. Wu

"I have always had smaller breasts, and after breastfeeding my two children, my breasts felt deflated. I was an A cup and wanted to have a little more breast volume but look natural. I knew that I wanted a female doctor and did some research. I found Dr. Wu and liked her vision of helping women achieve a natural-looking breast aesthetic. I appreciated her videos on the website as they were helpful with learning more about the process. In my follow-up appointments with Dr. Wu, she has made sure that I am happy with my new look and feel great. With complete confidence, I would recommend Dr. Wu and her practice. I am grateful I did!" – Actual Patient

"Dr. Wu was so considerate of my requests and always gave me options to choose from, rather than telling me what I should have done. Every team member was extremely thorough in making sure I had all of the information I needed, and their communication was great. Overall my experience has been nothing but positive, and the results are perfect. The surgery went well, and I have since gained so much confidence in myself - and I have Dr. Wu to thank for that! I would absolutely recommend this surgery and Dr. Wu to anyone thinking about a breast augmentation or liposuction purely due to the team's considerate and caring nature." - Actual Patient

April is Rosacea Awareness Month and the perfect time to get your Rosacea under control before facing summer sun, hot weather, and humidity triggers. An estimated 16 million Americans are affected by Rosacea, and many are not even aware that they have this skin condition. Many think it is excess blushing or adult acne, not realizing that Rosacea is the cause. Jennifer, our licensed medical aesthetician, works with many patients suffering from varying severity of Rosacea, helping them to control their flare-ups. Summer is a time that can be very stressful for those with Rosacea if they are not proactively working to keep their skin in the very best shape. Schedule a consultation with Jennifer to learn what options are best for you.

Sunscreen is essential year-round but especially when you are spending time in the sun and near the water! A physical block is your best option for protection from damage due to UVA and UVB rays. Sunscreen helps prevent sunburn, decreases skin cancer risk, and early skin aging caused by the sun. We carry several physical block sunscreens, and your provider can help you determine the one best suited to your skin.

A sunscreen tip from Jennifer, "Removing and replacing your mask causes your sunblock to rub off. I suggest keeping a mineral powder SPF with you to apply after removing your mask during the day."
