Tools for a New and Improved Beach Body

Summer is here… temperatures are on the rise, kids are out of school and the pools are open. Yikes. The pool… bathing suits, I’m not ready, how about you? Well, if you aren’t ready to walk around in your bikini, Atlanta Dermatology and Laser Surgery has a few treatments that can help you look beach body ready! Our experts also can recommend skin products perfect for your skin type to help protect you from the summer sun, firm and tighten your skin, remove imperfections and so much more. 

1. Laser Hair Removal: What says bikini ready more that stubble all over your body, right? Wrong! With Laser Hair Removal you will experience permanent hair reduction anywhere on the body. This treatment works by sending highly concentrated light into the hair follicles, which heats up the hair and significantly impedes the follicle’s ability to re-grow. Most patients need anywhere from 4-8 treatments depending on your skin type and the density of the hair. Length of treatment may last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. 

2. Tattoo Removal: Many of our patients are ashamed to wear Bikinis, shorts, tank tops and other summer wardrobe items due to embarrassing tattoos. Well, worry no more! We offer Laser Tattoo Removal, the safest and quickest treatment option to remove any tattoo from your body. Most patients need anywhere from 6-10 treatments depending on the size and color of the tattoo being treated. 

3. CoolSculpting: With CoolSculpting you can freeze away unwanted fat bulges and love handles without surgery or downtime. CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared, effective and gives you the body you’ve always wanted. It works by freezing fat cells in the treated area, causing them to crystallize and dissolve, resulting in a decrease in the fat bulge. Amount of treatments vary depending on each patient. 

4. Exilis: Our patients love Exilis, because Exilis provides amazing results without downtime, discomfort or surgery. Exilis works by using radio frequency (RF) energy to tighten tissue and rejuvenate collagen anywhere on the body. Exilis delivers unbeatable results that any Bikini will thank you for. For best results patients need 4 treatments but the amount of treatments can vary depending on the patient. 

Let the experts at Atlanta Dermatology and Laser Surgery transform your body to the body you have always wanted. For more information or to schedule a free consultation for any of our laser procedures call (404) 296-8000 or visit www.atlantadermatologyexperts.com.

Say Goodbye to Brown Spots

Before                                              After

As if getting older wasn’t enough of a worry, as we get older we also have to worry about it showing on our face. Our face is invaded by lines, wrinkles, sagging skin and worst of all, dark spots. We try to cover it up with; make-ups, lotions, powders but nothing can seem to really hide those irritating age spots.

Now, you are probably wondering, “Where do these irritating age spots come from?” According to Atlanta Dermatology and Laser Surgery's very own Physician Assistant, Juliena Gigon, these brown spots are caused by multiple factors including: over activation of pigment cells (hyperpigmentation) in the skin and damage caused by the sun.

I bet you are now regretting those years you spent out in sun lathered up with tanning oil, aren’t you? While we can't help you handle your regrets, we can help you to end the hassle of covering up those pesky brown spots and actually say goodbye to them, with Photorejuventation.

Photorejuvenation works by sending light energy into the skin, stimulating the production of collagen in your skin and softening the appearance of aging skin and reducing or eradicating brown spots.  The amount of treatments necessary for each patient varies but most patients need between five to eight treatments.  Treatments are tolerable but topical anesthesia may be applied to minimize patient discomfort.  After treatments, patients can go back to life as usual, there is no downtime. Photorejuvenation is also great for patients that struggle with red/flushed skin, enlarged pores, or rosacea.

It’s time to stop covering up your brown spots and show off your beautiful skin. For more information or to schedule a free consultation, visit our website: www.atlantadermatologyexperts.com or call (404) 296-8000.
