COVID may still be around, but in our office, patients and staff are safe and pleased to be back! This is an exciting time for us as we are adding some new products and services as well as learning new techniques! |

New Product From SkinCeuticals®! |
|
|
|
Tripeptide-R Neck Cream is a very effective new product that targets the thin, delicate skin of the neck to address multiple signs of visible neck aging. This includes the lines and wrinkles that are due to repetitive movements.
Neck skin is different than facial skin because of its thinner and more delicate dermal layer. With fewer lipids than facial skin, the neck's skin barrier can weaken as early as age 30. Combined with the neck's constant movement, this thinner skin can develop wrinkles that are up to five times deeper than on the face and are particularly challenging to treat. Jennifer sees patients of all ages who are wanting to address these neck wrinkles, and now she is pleased to have a solution for them!

Surprising Effects of COVID-19 on Facial Surgery |
|
Dr. Gregg is staying very busy with facial surgery patients even during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a pleasant and welcome surprise!
Patients desiring to have major facial surgeries often have difficulty scheduling them due to needing time off from work or away from outside commitments. With so many people working from home and so many dining and entertainment venues closed, patients are taking advantage of this time to have and recover from facial surgeries.
Individuals in their 20's and 30's have been requesting chin augmentation and neck surgery after viewing themselves on Zoom. Patients in their 40's and 50's are considering brow lifts and eyelid surgeries (blepharoplasty) since they are focused on their eyes while wearing masks. Men and women 50+ have been taking advantage of their at-home time to have facelift surgery.
Dr. Gregg is also discovering that her patients are very compliant with their post-surgical instructions resulting in excellent recovery. They are resting more, and the opportunities to go out or over exert themselves are less readily available. Many patients are looking forward to surprising their friends and co-workers with their relaxed, more youthful appearance when they are once again able to be together!
We added virtual consultations and appointments to our practice due to the COVID pandemic. For both patients and our providers, virtual visits have proven to be an effective and rewarding experience. If you are considering facial rejuvenation, call our office or use our virtual consultation request form to schedule a virtual consultation. Visit our website to learn more about surgical options for facial rejuvenation.

High Frequency With Clinical Facials |
|
Jennifer is adding High Frequency (HF) to many of her clinical facials and peels. HF oxygenates the surface of the skin, kills P. acne bacteria, stimulates circulation, stimulates collagen, reduces redness, shrinks pores, helps treat stubborn acne, and calms the skin.
This treatment is shown to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing the effects of mask-wearing ( "maskne"), rosacea, and stressed and irritated skin. The glass electrode at the base of the device immediately releases argon gas to the skin which produces a small electric current that kills surface bacteria and calms inflammation and redness.

"I am adding HF to most of my facials and peels now since so many patients had to skip treatments due to COVID, and this helps to speed up their return to beautiful skin."
– Jennifer

Continuing our series from our CANS nurse injectors, Melissa is sharing her favorite filler product and why she loves it. |
|
Voluma®! My favorite dermal filler hands down is Juvederm® Voluma® XC. As an aesthetic nurse, as well as a surgical nurse, I always am looking for the source of my patient's concerns.
As we age, we lose midface volume, creating folds, shadows, creases, and even jowls. When volume is supplemented with Voluma® to the midface area, the result is a return to their appearance before any volume loss! When a skilled injector administers Voluma®, the patient looks lifted and contoured, never "filled" or "done". After Voluma®, patients will often say that when they look in the mirror, they see their old self again! Voluma® is a game-changer in my book!

Nothing makes us happier than helping our patients improve and maintain the quality of their skin! |

"I have been getting facials for over 5 years here and always look forward to my visits because of the amazing staff, treatments, and products. Because of COVID, I was not able to have a facial for 6 months, so recently, I scheduled one but with much more compromised skin issues due to stress, mask-wearing, and so on. Jenn determined it was best not to do a facial at this time; however, she prescribed some very specific products along with a new skin regime to get my situation under control. Within a week to 10 days, I was feeling much better and looking a great deal better! Thanks so much to this team of caring specialists who really know their stuff." - Jan L.
