Show Your Skin Extra Love with May Skincare Specials

May is special to the Abraham Medical Cosmetics team for two reasons – for one, we get to celebrate mothers everywhere and the incredible job they do on a daily basis, and on top of that, we also get to celebrate healthy skin. With as much wear and tear that our skin experiences on a daily basis, what better reason to consider spending a little extra time giving it the TLC it deserves than the present? In honor of Skin Cancer Awareness Month, we have hand-selected pampering anti-aging and sun damage-reversing skincare treatments (plus a few other procedures to get you summer-ready) as our specials this month to help keep the skin looking radiant and flawless.

Let’s start with some important facts about skin cancer and the effects of sun damage. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, skin cancer is the most common cause of cancer in the United States and projected to rise to over 144,000 new cases of melanoma (the most aggressive and deadly form of skin cancer) in 2016. With one in five Americans at risk of developing skin cancer in their lifetime, sun safety is as important as ever to help ensure that you reduce your chances of being one of the estimated 8,500 people diagnosed with skin cancer each day. There are several things you can do to reduce your skin cancer risks, but the two most vital pieces of advice we can recommend would be to limit your exposure to the sun (especially during peak sun hours when the UV rays are at their highest, between 10am-4pm) and ALWAYS wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 for the days you’re outside for extra protection.

While not as dire as the effects skin cancer, UV light also contributes to accelerated aging and sun damage. Collagen needed to keep the skin firm and from sagging start to break down when we’re out in the sun for too long and can directly affect our appearance. Age/brown spots, wrinkles, thinned skin, and uneven skin tone are common signs of sun damage that can make us look older than we really are. This is where nonsurgical and minimally-invasive anti-aging treatments would come in handy. Two treatments that patients experiencing the effects of sun damage often choose are cosmetic injectables and chemical peels:

Cosmetic Injectables (Botox® and Xeomin®)

FDA approved for patients 18 years and older
Relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles on the upper third of the face (around/between the eyes and on the forehead)
Short treatment times (can be done during your lunch break)
Little to no required downtime after treatment
Results typically last four to six months (results vary by patient)
Safe to repeat treatments in order to maintain longer-lasting results

Chemical Peels

Improve overall skin tone and texture
Topically-applied chemical solution that removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells
Treat sun damage, acne, fine lines, uneven skin tone, and wrinkles
Customizable for each patient’s specific skin type
Little to no downtime required

With summer right around the corner, now’s the time to get bathing suit ready and treat your skin to a bit of TLC before schedules get hectic. Here’s what we’re featuring this month to help:

Say goodbye to razor burn, ingrowns, and unwanted hairs by tossing the razors and saving time AND money with laser hair removal treatments. We currently house three different technology systems to help eliminate hair for men and women of all skin tones. Our lasers are safe and effective, so you not only get permanent results, but we’re able to customize each laser hair removal treatment specifically to meet your needs and desired results. Many patients are happy with their results after four to six treatments – even if you’re not sure how many treatments you’ll need, we will cover all of this when we meet and discuss the areas of the body you want to treat and what will work best for your skin type.
Botox® and Xeomin® remain some of the most popular options within the largely growing community of nonsurgical anti-aging treatments. Instead of filling wrinkles and sunken areas on the face (like facial fillers Radiesse®), Botox® and Xeomin® relax the muscles that cause wrinkles around the eyes and forehead. Results are temporary but can last four to six months in most cases; treatments can also be safely repeated as often as needed for those patients who want to keep their results maintained longer.

We have additional specials on Radiesse® facial fillers and chemical peels, so check out our flyer for details. Our specials expire April 30^th, 2016 – while supplies last and some exclusions may apply. Give Susan or Lisa a call at 770-978-1161 to schedule your next appointment or to learn more about our skincare specials and the upcoming 127 Legacy Foundation event. Have a fantastic month and we hope to see you all very soon!

Spring into Easter Rejuvenated with March Skincare Specials

If you’re typically not a cold-weather fan, congratulations on making it through another winter season in Georgia! The Abraham Medical Cosmetics providers could not be more excited to witness the flowers in bloom outside of our practice and are soaking up the positive energies in the air as more of us hit the great outdoors to take advantage of the seasonably-warm weather we’ve been having lately. If you’re the type of person who spends summer months outdoors and winter months hibernating, your skin may benefit from a bit of TLC to correct any superficial damage that has accumulated over months of direct exposure to harsh elements that age the skin (think along the lines of sun and humidity). Luckily we can help you spring into Easter rejuvenated by taking advantage of our March skincare specials!

Your best defense against the sun is sunscreen. Not only does it reduce your chances of developing skin cancer but it helps to slow down the common signs of aging that comes with a lot of time in the sun like deep wrinkles, sagging skin, and discoloration to name a few. To compliment daily sunscreen use, popular skincare treatments like cosmetic injectables (Botox® and Xeomin®) can help to temporarily reduce wrinkles while Radiesse® facial fillers can give the mouth, nose, cheeks, and forehead a smoother, more lifted appearance if loss of facial volume is a concern.

One of the many beauties of skincare is that there’s virtually something for men and women of all ages! For those looking to superficially treat imperfections of the face (age spots, sun spots, hyperpigmentation, and acne/acne scarring), chemical peels are topically applied solution treatments that slough away dead skin, boost collagen production, and reveal skin that’s more even-toned and youthful. Does unwanted hair have you dreading the warm days of exposed legs and unruly bikini lines? Laser hair removal can help with that as our latest laser hair removal technology systems can zap away future hair from the face, beard, neck, chest, arms, legs, and/or bikini in as little as six treatments! We’re featuring these treatments and a few others all month long:

There is still plenty of time to get your skin revitalized before summer rolls around again and we invite you to let our providers help you do just that! Don’t miss out on the Abraham Medical Cosmetics March skincare savings that are good until March 31^st, 2016. If you’d like to schedule your next treatment or have questions about any of the cosmetic services we offer, don’t hesitate to contact Susan or Lisa at 770-978-1161 today. For more skincare news, updates, and specials, be sure to also connect with Abraham Medical on Facebook, Twitter and Google+. We wish you and your family a very happy Easter!
