I seem to focus on the Isolaz for pain free hair removal and Botox and Juvederm for rejuvenating your face, but I spend little time discussing the treatment of acne. I think this is for 2 reasons:
1. I personally want to laser off the hair on my entire body (well not everywhere) and I LOVE the immediate results you can achieve from a simple shot of Botox or Juvederm.
2. Until recently I didn’t realize how many people suffer from acne and how few treatments there are out there that really work.
With this in mind I want to briefly discuss our new laser, the Isolaz and the treatment of acne. The official tag line is “Deep Pore Purification.” The new technology in the Isolaz is FDA approved for the treatment of acne and is very similar to our Aesthera PPx Light based treatment which was featured on Fox News. Since we received our Isolaz in July we have easily tripled the number of acne patients we treat each day. The results are fantastic and it is extremely rewarding to see the change in just a few treatments. The changes are not just in appearance but also in our client’s confidence and self esteem. Not only does the Isolaz work, but our clients like it so much they are recommending it to their friends. That is always the best compliment we can receive!
If you want to know more just give us a call. You can also watch the Fox News clip on our web site. It was a piece that ran nationally and even internationally. We got calls from as far away as Hong Kong. The clip shows exactly how the laser works and Dr. Philip Schoenfeld discusses a few other treatments out there that don’t work and explains why the laser is so effective for treating acne.
Each facial treatment takes about 45 minutes and a back takes about 75 minutes. What the Isolaz doesn’t do it treat old acne scars. For that Dr. Schoenfeld has a different laser or he can also use a dermal filler such as Restylane or Juvederm to fill in scars. If you have other complications from acne give us a call and we will be happy to discuss it with you.
The Isolaz is a new laser that was just released over the summer. It uses the latest in photo pneumatic technology, similar to the PPX, but is stronger, slightly faster, can be used on a wider variety of skin tones, and is still PAIN FREE! The most popular uses are for hair removal, acne, removing brown and red spots, and skin rejuvenation(photo facials).
We got more calls this week for the Isolaz than we did in the entire month of August! What’s different…? The Isolaz has received a lot of positive press in the national fashion magazines as well as trade journals this month. The main reason why is that it really is breakthrough technology for treating a wide variety of skin issues. The best media mention was probably in the September Vogue. Washington Life also did a short write up this month about “Skin Care of the Future” now available with the Isolaz at Renu Med Spa. We were honored to be recognized for offering this new technology to our clients. Who says you have to go to NY to find the latest advances in medical aesthetics?
Q: How long are the treatments?
A: Treatment time depends on which service you are having. Hair removal of the bikini and underarm takes about 20 minutes and requires around 6 treatments. (and no messy numbing creams are needed!) Acne treatment for your face takes about 40 minutes and depending on the severity of the acne, 4-5 treatments are usually recommended. (slightly longer for a full back) Rejuvenation, fine lines and sun damage, depends on the amount of damage and can be treated in 2-5 sessions. All services are offered a la carte or in packages.
Q: How do I know if the Isolaz is right for me?
A: Diagnosing skin related issues over the phone or internet is virtually impossible. My recommendation is to schedule a consult with one of our skin care specialists and allow time for a treatment as well. Your confidence in our service is extremely important to us so we are happy to allow extra time on your first visit to ask questions and have a full skin analysis. This allows us to customize a treatment plan unique to your individual skin care needs. We also offer SilkPeel Microdermabrasion and a variety of chemical peels if the laser isn’t right for you.
Q: How much is this going to cost me?
A: Our services are available in single sessions and packages. (There is usually a significant savings if you purchase a package.) We offer a wide variety of treatments, so please give us a call if you have a specific one in mind and we are happy to discuss our menu prices. 301-652-7368
