Welcome Back
I hope you've had a great summer! We have been busy with vacations and fun.
Post-Summer Skin Check
Now we are thinking about getting back into the routine of fall which means, to dermatologists, getting rid of all that sun damage our patients' skin has incurred while trying to get some natural vitamin D! I'm now regretting all those tans and sunburns I got when I was a teenager. It's definitely showing up and I became more aware of the damage done when I had my full skin check with Angela Fulton, PA-C. Luckily, she caught things before they turned into something bad and Dr. Cooperrider has taught me a lot about laser treatments to improve the appearance of my skin.
What's Popular?
We are continuing to see great results with the Pixel CO2 and our patients are also liking the VI Peel.
The other thing we are excited about is documented results from Coolsculpting. If you haven't already heard about this, it is a new, non-invasive way to gently and effectively reduce fat in targeted areas of your body, resulting in noticeable, natural-looking fat reduction in the treated areas. What makes the Coolsculpting Procedure different is its advanced cooling technology that targets and eliminates fat cells. Unlike traditional invasive surgical procedures, the Coolsculpting Procedure is non-invasive, with no needles and no incisions. There is no need for anesthesia or pain medications and there is no recovery time. It is mainly for those who are fit but have areas of stubborn fat that they can't seem to get rid of. The staff who have tried it have achieved the promised fat loss, about 20% per treatment. In order to know if you are a candidate, you would need to come in and have a complimentary consultation. Or, if you are here seeing one of our PAs, just ask her what she thinks.
What's New?
We are also involved in a study to help a start-up company obtain FDA clearance of a new concept machine for skin-tightening using energy in a similar way to magnetism, or how your electric toothbrush recharges! Dr. Cooperrider loves to experiment with new technology.
What Now?
Besides kayaking and roller-blading (in his Sun-soul shirt and hat, of course) Dr. Cooperrider continues to walk on his treadmill and read the latest. He'll tell you about stem cell and cancer research in his OATS (Occasional Anti-Aging Tidbits).
We hope to see you in our office soon!
