May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month

With Skin Cancer Awareness Month upon us, we wanted to stress the importance of knowing what damage has been done to your skin.

A recent study confirmed that non-melanoma skin cancer is truly an epidemic in the US, with an estimated 350 percent increase in the number of skin cancers over the past decade and a half.
“Good Morning America” demonstrated the unseen dangers of sun exposure with the recently introduced fifth generation VISIA Complexion Analysis.

The VISIA system provides your skin care specialist with the deepest possible understanding of your skin and the ability to show you just how it will respond to a full range of treatments.

Among the many variables that contribute to the total condition of your complexion, six are critical to choosing the right skin care treatments. VISIA Complexion Analysis evaluates these factors:

• wrinkle
• spots
• pore size
• skin tone variations
• bacterial content
• UV spots that indicate sun damage

Once the VISIA Complexion Analysis is complete, Medi-Spa’s skincare professionals are able to design customized skincare regiments and rejuvenation programs based on each client’s needs. VISIA can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatments, so clients can see changes in their skin they may not see looking in a mirror.

Call Medi-Spa at Knoxville Dermatology Group today to schedule your complimentary VISIA Complexion Analysis! Knowing the health of your skin is the first step in improving it. 865.342.5823

Wrinkles 101

Before choosing a method of correcting wrinkles, it is important to understand why they appear in the first place.
Wrinkles are creases, folds or ridges in the skin, and they are predominately caused by the decrease and damage of skin-supporting collagen. In young skin, the collagen framework is intact, and the skin remains moisturized and elastic. It’s resilient to the many facial expressions we adopt, as well as everyday environmental exposure. 
Over time, the support structure weakens, and the skin loses elasticity. As the collagen support wears down, the skin begins to lose its tone. Sun damage, smoking and poor hydration also play a role in damaging existing collagen.
The effect of these facial expressions and other factors is cumulative, and facial lines begin to appear. 

Medi-Spa at Knoxville Dermatology Group has experience with all injectable fillers and can help you choose the one that’s right for you to correct or enhance your natural features by adding volume. Dermal fillers can stimulate your body to produce your own natural collagen.

During your visit your provider will listen to your concerns and suggest the products that will give you optimal results. Patient comfort is always a concern, and a prescription strength numbing cream and ice can be applied to the area to be treated prior to the treatment. When treating the lips some patients prefer a dental block. Areas that can be treated with fillers include the lips, nasolabial folds, cheeks, hands, corners of mouth, jowls, scars, vertical lines above the lips, under eyes and below the brow to give the appearance of a lift.

Everything you need to know about Radiesse

Radiesse

What it is: Calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel.

Pro: Immediate and long-term results.

Con: Cannot be used in high-movement areas like the lips.

How long it lasts: 2-3 years. (semi-permanent)

Because of its density, Radiesse is best used on the  smile lines of the cheeks and the nasolabial folds. After being injected, the smooth microspheres of calcium hydroxyapatite (a natural substance found in the body) in Radiesse act as a filler, but over the next few months, the microspheres will prompt the skin to produce collagen. Over time, the microspheres will disintegrate, but because of the new collage production, the wrinkle correction will last.

There is no need for an allergy test before using Radiesse, so with one visit to Medi-Spa at Knoxville Dermatology Group, you can get results that last for 2-3 years.
