Stay Beautiful and Bright This Holiday

Tag Archives: skin

Everything seems to take on a special glow this time of year. But if that holiday brightness seems to have drained from your skin with all the hustle and bustle of the season, help is on the way! Here are a few tips from VSC esthetician Roseanne Warchola for staying your beautiful and radiant self throughout the holidays:

Avoid hot water baths and showers, and use creamy cleansers instead of harsh and drying soaps. Apply a cream or lotion to your face and body as soon as you get out of the shower to lock in moisture.
Consider having a paraffin wax treatment for your hands and feet–there are so many benefits. Paraffin is known to speed healing, soothe pain in joints and muscles, moisturize skin, open pores and increase blood circulation.
Put a humidifier in your bedroom and use it while you sleep. A humidifier can provide a number of health benefits to people who suffer from dry skin, sinusitis, itchy eyes and throat, cracked lips and other health problems caused by dryness. By adding moisture to the air, the humidifier counteracts the dryness created by turning up the heat.

Our skincare experts have many ways to help you refresh your skin this season. Give us a call at 770-955-9000 to schedule an appointment today.

Summer is making an early arrival, with poolside lounging, beach walks and outdoor parties already in full swing. But before spending too many days basking in the warm glow of the sun, it’s important to give your skin a little prep time to help it look fabulous right into fall.

Roseanne Warchola, medical esthetician at Vinings Surgery Center, shares a few of her keys to keeping skin healthy and radiant throughout the season:

Use a topical Vitamin C serum along with sunscreen for added protection from damaging UV rays. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that fights free radicals, the molecules responsible for aging and tissue damage. Vitamin C also enhances collagen production. It’s also able to prevent and reverse sun damage, including wrinkles.
It’s often said, but well worth repeating: Wear sunscreen daily. If you are going to be spending a large amount of time in the sun, stick with SPF 30 and reapply every 30 minutes. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen on your lips, too!
Ditch the sodas and energy drinks and replace them with good old-fashioned water. You’ll see the difference in your skin in less than two weeks.

In order to help with summertime sun protection, Vitamin C Serum and Advanced Protection SPF 30 are being offered at 20% off at Vinings Surgery Center this month. For more information about treatment or to make an appointment, call (770) 955-9000 or visit www.colgrove.com.

Spring has officially sprung! That means it’s time to spring into action to get ready for the summer’s beach and poolside fun. Here are a few things to consider as you work on getting ready to bare it all (almost) this summer:

Fitness

Whether it’s Pilates, running, yoga, walking, or a little bit of everything, find whatever works for you and get into it! Here are some ideas from Fitness magazine for getting that body healthy and bikini-ready. Be sure not to overdo it or make any drastic changes without consulting your doctor first. And most of all, have fun!

Skin care

The harsh conditions of winter can leave us with layers of dull, dry skin that is definitely in need of a little TLC. Freshen your skin care routine, switching to a lighter moisturizer for the warmer weather. Make sure to gently exfoliate to slough off dead skin cells and uncover healthier cells. Laser skin resurfacing, offered at Vinings Surgery Center, gently and precisely removes microscopic layers of skin, tightening sagging skin and stimulating new collagen growth.

Laser hair removal

Who wants to spend time shaving to get ready to put on that swimwear? Laser hair removal, also available at Vinings Surgery Center, is an effective and efficient means of long-term hair removal. A highly concentrated beam of light vaporizes troublesome hair follicles to eliminate or significantly impede the hair’s regrowth.

Male Breast Reduction

For men who feel self-conscious about their appearance when shirtless, breast-reduction surgery can help. The procedure, performed by Dr. Colgrove, removes fat and or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a chest that is flatter, firmer and better contoured.

For help with any other “problem areas” you may be concerned about, there are other helpful procedures available.

Enjoy this time of renewal and refreshing, and have fun getting ready for summer!

We’re proud to announce two new products now available at Vinings Surgery Center: the VI Peel Acne Kit and the new Vi Melasma Peel! VI Peel Acne is a targeted solution to purify blemish prone skin and clear the scars acne leaves behind. It contains the original VI Peel formula plus these powerful ingredients for superior, consistent results:

Benzoyl Peroxide: removes bacteria, clears the pores and increases cell turnover.
Salicylic Acid: causes the cells of the epidermis to shed, opening clogged pores and neutralizing the bacteria within while constricting the pore diameter to prevent further clogging.
Vitamin C: a powerful antioxidant that removes toxins from the environment.
Kojic Acid: brightens skin and reduces acne scars.

VI Peel Precision Plus is a powerful booster and pad system made specifically to treat stubborn melasma (skin discoloration) and pigmentation. The booster is intended to be used with the VI Peel only. Precision Plus is VI Peel’s latest breakthrough for age-defying, radiant skin, containing:

Retinoic Acid: triggers peeling and unclog the pores while boosting collagen and elastin.
Vitamin C: a powerful antioxidant to mitigate the damaging effects of UV exposure and remove toxins.
Hydroquinone: bleaches and inhibits pigmentation and melasma while exfoliating to create a glowing even skin tone.
Kojic Acid: aids in fighting discoloration and brightens the complexion.
Hydrocortisone: soothes and reduces redness.
