Best Beauty Buys of 2010 in Cosmetic Dermatology
This year marks the 25th Anniversary of Van Dyke Laser & Skin, lead by national cosmetic dermatology expert Susan Van Dyke, M.D. As one of the foremost experts in the area, Dr. Van Dyke has performed more than 10,000 cosmetic dermatological procedures and is known across the nation for her expertise in skin care and beauty topics. According to her, the following are “The Best Beauty Buys of 2010″ when it comes to cosmetic dermatology.
1. Lightsheer DUET laser for hair removal - launched in early 2009, the Lightsheer DUET is a faster and less painful laser than its predecessors. Treatment by this laser does not require topical anesthesia to numb the skin and requires up to 75% less treatment time. For example, a man’s back can be treated in 20 minutes instead of 2 hours - a significant difference that makes treatment much more affordable. It has also proven to be more effective because it penetrates deeper into the skin to reach the hair follicle.
2. Latisse eyelash treatment - if you want longer, thicker eyelashes, then you need a prescription for Latisse, from the makers of Botox. Applied similar to eyeliner every day for sixteen weeks, Latisse is the first and only FDA-approved product on the market to enhance eyelash thickness, length and color.
3. Sculptra facial injection filler - approved by the FDA in 2009 for cosmetic use, Sculptra is a treatment for adding volume in the face that is commonly used for filling hollow cheeks, grooves between the mouth and nose (nasolabial folds), under eyes, and in the jowl area to minimize the signs of aging. Treatment can last for two years or more.
4. Thermafrax skin tightening - a revolutionary combination of Thermage RF (Radio Frequency) treatment and Fraxel laser treatments, Thermafrax combines skin tightening with resurfacing. It is ideal for treating post-pregnancy sagging skin and stretch marks, and improving facial contouring while reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Dr. Van Dyke will be presenting this new treatment at the 2010 American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery later this year.
5. Fraxel skin resurfacing - while using the Fraxel skin resurfacing laser to treat sun damage, age spots, acne scars and wrinkles is not new, it has recently been upgraded and improved. New treatment parameters allow more effective treatments with minimal downtime. Treatments are quicker and more comfortable.
Van Dyke states, “each one of these treatments and products have proven itself to make a significant difference and is worth every penny. With 25 years of experience in cosmetic dermatology and over 10,000 procedures under my belt, my patients rely on me to only offer products and services that have established themselves as the most effective in its category. I know what works and what doesn’t.”
Van Dyke Laser & Skin recently celebrated its notable 25th Anniversary milestone with an open house gala that raised an impressive $10,500 in donations for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Items offered in the silent auction benefiting breast cancer research included Latisse, Lightsheer Duet treatment, JuvĂ©derm, Restylane, Thermage treatments, Fraxel treatments and more. At the event, Dr. Van Dyke demonstrated products/treatments listed in “The Best Buys of 2009,” and presented “25 Years of Beauty: The Evolution of Cosmetic Dermatology.”
“Susan G. Komen for the Cure feels immense pride and privilege to partner with Van Dyke Laser & Skin. The proceeds they generated from their silent auction to benefit the Phoenix Affiliate will generate vital support in our community towards breast health services and programs,” stated Kirsten Butzow, executive director of the Komen Phoenix Affiliate. Komen Manager of Fund Development Allison Levin also shared, “this is a major achievement during challenging times that reinforces incredible community outreach in helping the Komen promise to find a cure.”
