Summer is over and all of the sunspots and damage from this summer as well as previous summers, need to be addressed. Advanced Dermatology is one of few of\ufb01ces in the Chicagoland area that offers the newest technology in\u00a0Fraxel<\/a> non-ablative rejuvenation. The\u00a0Fraxel<\/a> Dual incorporates\u00a0Fraxel<\/a> Restore as well as\u00a0Fraxel<\/a> Thulium.\u00a0 The\u00a0Fraxel<\/a> Restore is the ideal treatment for those who want to address scarring <\/a>(including acne scarring<\/a>), \ufb01ne lines, or wrinkles. It is a non-ablative treatment that can signi\ufb01cantly improve skin texture, pore size and overall skin appearance with minimal downtime. For scarring expect 3-5 treatments for maximum improvement.\u00a0 The\u00a0Fraxel<\/a> Thulium is a more super\ufb01cial treatment ideal for the super\ufb01cial pigment caused by years of UV exposure. It can also be used as a treatment for actinic keratosis<\/a> or precancerous lesions. Not only can you give your skin a more even tone and brightness, but this technology can also help prevent skin cancers<\/a>.\u00a0 The\u00a0Fraxel<\/a> Dual is your perfect post summer treatment. By combining two different wavelengths, we can address both the super\ufb01cial and deeper pigments as well as \ufb01ne lines caused by UV damage. Patients can expect signi\ufb01cant reductions in brown spots<\/a> in 1-2 treatments as well as improvement in their overall texture and appearance. These treatments can be utilized not only on the face, but also on the neck, chest, arms and hands. Before and after treatment with the\u00a0Fraxel<\/a> it is of utmost importance that an optimal skin care regimen be part of your daily routine. Incorporating the\u00a0Core 4<\/a> as well as a topical lightener will improve your overall\u00a0Fraxel<\/a> results.<\/p>\n

\"core4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Core 4<\/a> consists of:
\n1. Sunscreen <\/a>with a SPF of 30 or higher and a zinc percentage of 5% or higher. It is essential when evaluating sunscreens to read the active ingredients. Zinc<\/a> should be the main block. Some of my favorites are the Elta UV Clear 46<\/a> ($31) which is great for those with sensitive skin and tend to break out. Another is Neocutis Journ\u00e9e SPF 30<\/a> ($130), which incorporates a moisturizer, sunscreen and growth factor.
\n2. Growth factors<\/a> help stimulate your underlying collagen and help plump up the skin. It is a perfect adjunct to Fraxel<\/a> to assist in softening \ufb01ne lines. There are human growth factors and plant derived growth factors. One of the most potent human growth factors is SkinMedica TNS Essential Serum<\/a> ($260). When used twice daily most patients notice an overall improvement of their skin in as little as 6 weeks.
\n3. Antioxidants<\/a> such as SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic<\/a> ($153) help us protect against free radicals caused by ultra violet rays. It combines Vitamin C, E, and Ferulic acid, thus acting as a potent antioxidant and also plumping up collagen.
\n4. Exfoliants<\/a> help speed up the cellular turnover of your skin thus improving texture and fine lines. skinfo\u00ae Vital Tea Regenerate Serums<\/a> ($65 – $81 depending on strength) will allow you to start off slowly building up strength over time. Thus your skin is able to tolerate the exfoliants without over irritation that retinoids often cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
