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.

Rosacea

Suffering with rosacea, or skin prone to redness and swelling, can be frustrating. One of the solutions to managing rosacea is to find out what specific factors are contributing to inflammation. An article by Melissa Schwarzchild, M.D. published in The Health Journal explains the triggers for rosacea and how to combat them. Heat is one of the most common triggers. Exposure to high temperatures outdoors will intensify your rosacea. Wearing hats and applying sunscreen daily is a good way to protect yourself.

Schwarzchild also notes the many sufferers of rosacea have sensitive skin. Using a mild cleanser and sticking to hypoallergenic facial creams and makeup also can aid in the prevention of further skin irritation. For a more permanent solution, Schwarzchild recommends rosacea patients turn to a cosmetic surgeon for laser treatments.

These gentle, quick procedures target broken capillaries and dilated blood vessels to will significantly reduce redness and create a more even skin tone. These types of treatments are available at Vinings Surgery Center, and specialists are on hand to answer any questions.

FotoFacial RF® treatment for Rosacea and More

FotoFacial RF® treatment applies a unique combination of controlled heat and light (Syneron® Aurora™ laser) to improve the appearance of age spots, freckles, and sun spots. This treatment can improve skin texture, reduce redness and rosacea symptoms, decrease the appearance of unwanted facial veins, and diminish the visibility of enlarged pores. FotoFacial RF® treatments must be performed in a cycle that corresponds with your body’s own rejuvenation processes with time in between treatments to allow your skin to heal itself.  Typically, FotoFacial RF® patients see the best skin rejuvenation results after a series of five treatments spaced one month apart.

As joyful as they are, the holidays can bring with them quite a bit of stress. And if you’re feeling frazzled, it’ll show—even if you try to hide it.

Skin can be a visible gauge of stress levels.

Since our bodies make more of certain hormones, such as cortisol, in response to stress, breakouts and other skin reactions can flare up when we feel harried. Some existing skin conditions, like psoriasis, rosacea and eczema, can be exacerbated as well when the pressure it on. Another place stress can make an appearance is the eyes in the form of dark circles and puffiness. Dr. Colgrove recommends making sure you stay well hydrated, drinking 1 to 2 liters of water a day, as a way to keep eyes looking fresh and bright. Keeping salt intake down (which can be a challenge this time of year with all the goodies everywhere), makes a big difference as well, since it reduces water retention. As you enjoy the bustle of the holidays, check in with yourself often to measure how stressed you’re feeling. If you feel tension creeping in, take some time to give yourself the care and attention you need. Exercise, rest, quiet time and relaxing activities are important to incorporate balance into the hubbub of the holidays. 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.
