Skin Essentials

As Dr. Broadway’s patient coordinator for the last 12 years, I’ve had the opportunity to try many of the Skin Essentials @ bod:evolve treatments that our office offers. One thing I would like patients to know is that these treatments DO work, and you’ll always be treated by an experienced provider. –We have two of the best at Skin Essentials; Marianne Harrington and Pamela Pierce.

Recently, I had the opportunity to try the Dermapen treatment with Pamela Pierce to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles (and to help with overall skin texture). This treatment uses micro-needles to penetrate the skin, allowing for healthy collagen growth. There was essentially no discomfort during the procedure, and when Pam was done, it merely looked like I had a sunburn.

The next morning it looked like I had more of a suntan on my face then a sunburn, and my husband and I thought my skin looked fantastic. On the 2nd day, I began to peel a little but nothing like many chemical peels will do to the skin. I am now 4 days out and still have a little peeling, but underneath I can already begin to see my skin looking more radiant with a better texture.

Treatments can range from 2-6, spaced about 4 weeks apart, and this is dependent on the severity of the wrinkles, acne scarring, and skin texture that is being treated.

I’ve also had the opportunity to try the latest filler craze Juvaderm Voluma by Allergan. This injectable treatment provides a lift in the cheeks helping to give more definition and smooth lines and wrinkles that are caused by aging and volume loss. If you’re not ready for a Facelift, but feel your face needs a little lift, this product can last up to 2 years and provides a beautiful, yet subtle result. There is no downtime and you will see the effects immediately. This procedure does not hurt because we have one of the top injectionists working at bod:evolve; Marianne Harrington.

It’s no too late to get either of these treatments before the holidays to help you look and feel your very best! Please contact our office with additional questions.
