The Cutting Edge of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal has seen astonishing breakthroughs in recent years thanks to technological advancements in the field. What was once considered a specialty procedure for only very specific skin and hair types has surged to become one of the five most sought after non-surgical procedures in America and continues to grow. Industry experts expect the number of laser hair removal procedures to exceed 2.5 million next year alone. As laser hair removal treatments continue to become more affordable, faster and (most importantly) safer than ever before, the rapid growth of procedures in America is unlikely to dwindle. Despite several available options, perhaps no laser hair removal system offers the same astounding results as the Cutera® excel HR™ hair removal system.

The Cutera® excel HR™ laser hair removal system stands at the absolute cutting edge of laser hair removal. Unlike treatments in the past, excel HR™ treatment can be customized for specific skin tones. Patients can expect treatment minimal discomfort and astonishing, fast results. Additionally, the excel HR™ hair removal system laser has a built-in cooling system that provides unparalleled levels of safety, efficacy and patient comfort.

How it Works

The Cutera® excel HR™ combines Cutera’s proven long-pulse 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser and a new high-power 755 nm Alexandrite laser with the superiority of sapphire contact cooling to target unwanted hair from the face and body and leave the patient’s skin feeling smooth and replenished. The unique wavelength ranges have the benefit of allowing specialized treatment for patients of various skin tones with the added benefit of being located within the same laser system.

Additional Benefits

One of the main distinguishing characteristics of the excel HR™ laser technology system is the fact that it is capable of treating multiple skin conditions in addition to hair removal. The Cutera® excel HR™ laser can also safely treatment age/brown spots on the skin that develop over time due to exposure to the sun. Additionally, it can effectively help to reduce unsightly spider veins that appear on the face and legs. With sustained, long-lasting results, the the Cutera® excel HR™ eliminates the need for uncomfortable shaving and waxing entirely.

Adjusting to change may not always be easy, but we at Abraham Medical Cosmetics believe that as these technological breakthroughs continue, the benefits to our patients will only increase. Check back here periodically for updates and monthly specials regarding laser hair removal and the Cutera® excel HR™ and as always, please contact Dr. Ben Abraham at Abraham Medical Cosmetics with any questions, concerns or curiosities you may have.

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!

Don’t Get Tricked by Wrinkles, Treat Them Instead!

Halloween is just around the corner and we can definitely feel the spirit buzzing in the fresh fall air. Signs of aging can often make us appear older than we really are, but instead of hiding behind a mask, treat them with the Abraham Medical Cosmetic Spooktacular skincare savings on cosmetic treatments! Our October specials are great for adult men and women of all ages – whether they want to get an early start on facial rejuvenation, add volume to the face or break up with shaving permanently, we’ve got something for everyone this month.

Botox® & Facial Fillers

From now until October 31st, 2015, treat your wrinkles with one of our “BOOtox” specials:

Buy ONE area of Botox®, get the second area for ½ price
Buy TWO areas of Botox®, get the third area FREE

Botox® is a popular cosmetic injectable that is administered to around the eyes and on the forehead to relax the muscles that control the expressions we make on a daily basis. Treatments are quick and relatively painless so you can get back to your schedule afterwards and not worry about extensive downtime. Botox® results typically last up to four months and can be repeated to maintain your new, youthful appearance.

In addition to our Botox® special, we are featuring the popular facial filler Radiesse® this month to reduce fine lines, deep wrinkles and give lost volume back to your cheeks or lips. For the entire month of October:

Buy ONE Radiesse® syringe for $600, you’ll get ONE FREE (free Radiesse® must be used at the time of first visit)

Cutera® Laser Hair Removal

Packing away the remaining reminders of summer can be sad for many of us, but packing away the razors for good isn’t something we’re disappointed to see go! When summer comes around next year, why not start it off right with a silky smooth, hair-free body? One of the best suggestions we have for our current and future laser hair removal patients is to get treatments started during the off season. We say this because laser hair removal is performed to compliment a patient’s hair growth cycle. Eliminating the hair as it actively grows over several treatments spaced out several weeks and months, effectively reduces the amount of hair until patients are hair free. Get your laser hair removal treatments started with our newest laser system Cutera®; receive $100 OFF* ONE Cutera® hair removal treatment through October 31^st, 2015 (*offer good for one treatment only).

Please note our specials above expire October 31st, 2015. Offers are limited, while supplies last, and some exclusions may apply so give Susan or Lisa a call at 770-978-1161 for further details on our skincare specials or to schedule your “BOOtox” appointment. You can also stay connected with the Abraham Medical Family on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ for the latest skin care specials and news.

The Newest in Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Not too long ago laser hair removal treatments were only best recommended for people with light colored skin and dark hair color because the laser system was only able to distinguish the darker pigments in contrast to lighter skin. Now, even tanned skin can rejoice and benefit from eliminating unwanted hair with the latest addition to the Abraham Medical Cosmetic’s hair removal systems, Cutera® excel HR™. The excel HR™ hair removal system offers great benefits for patients wanting to kiss razor burn or 5 o’ clock shadows goodbye for good, plus much, much more!

How does the excel HR™ laser hair removal system work?
The excel HR™ laser hair removal system uses high-performing dual wavelengths (755nm/1064nm) to rapidly target unwanted hair from the face and body. The unique wavelength ranges allow specialized treatment for patients of various skin tones with the added benefit of being located within the same laser system. Additionally, the excel HR™ laser has a built in cooling system that provides patients with extra comfort before, during and after treatment. Unlike ever before, excel HR™ makes laser hair removal treatment safer and much more effective for everyone.

Who are good candidates for excel HR™ laser hair removal treatment?
Men, women and all skin tones, light to dark. Unlike previous laser hair removal treatments, the excel HR™ system can also evenly treat tanned skin.

What additional benefits does the excel HR™ have?
One of the things that most attracted us to the excel HR™ laser technology system was the fact that it is capable of treating multiple skin conditions in addition to hair removal. For those patients who may have once been avid sun worshipers, the Cutera® excel HR™ laser can safely treatment age/brown spots. To round out being a triple threat, excel HR™ can effectively help you remove unsightly spider veins on the face and legs!

How can I learn more about the excel HR™ laser system?
Join us for a very special open house event where we will introduce patients to the great benefits of Cutera excel HR™. The open house will be February 19th, 2015 from 5-7pm. You can enjoy light refreshments and enter for a chance to win door prizes. Space is limited and you must RSVP to attend this special event.

Battle the Bulge the Non-Surgical Way!

The holidays are upon us and that means family, fun and food! What’s great about this time of year is the excitement in the air and the generous spirit that comes with it. The only downside may be the extra pounds we pack on after the holiday craze has ended. Abraham Medical Cosmetics sees a good bit of patients who are interested in achieving a slimmer, more defined body contour but aren’t ready to go the surgical route.

Battle the Bulge the Non-Surgical Way Our fat and cellulite reduction treatments are some of our most popular cosmetic services because they don’t require you to go under the knife and you can enjoy little to no downtime. One of the latest treatments we offer is Zerona® to reduce fat and inches from your hips, buttocks, upper arms and back without the pain and down time associated with traditional surgery! FDA approved for fat reduction, Zerona® uses a laser setting to liquefy the fat within cells below the skin. Zerona® doesn’t remove the fat cells from the body, but causes the fat within fat cells to escape and be absorbed and disposed of by the body’s lymphatic system.

Treatment generally lasts 30 minutes to an hour and most patients require 4-6 treatments to reduce inches on the body and achieve desired fat reduction results. While no substitute for diet and exercise, Zerona® fat reduction helps patients who, for whatever reason (pregnancy, genetics, hormonal imbalances, etc.), cannot get rid of stubborn excess fat and cellulite.

Fat reduction treatments are only a small portion of our menu of services, so be sure to check out the rest of our website or contact us for a complete list of what we can provide. Connect with us on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date on the latest news, updates and specials.

A Guide to Beach-Ready Skin: Chemical Peels

Getting beach-ready skin that won’t break the bank is a lot easier than many of our patients may think. The providers of Abraham Medical Cosmetics often get a lot of questions from patients about facial rejuvenation procedures that don’t necessarily require a lot of treatments or downtime, yet produce great results by restoring the healthy glow of their youth. One of the treatments we recommend are chemical peels as they are ideal treatments to help you give your skin the year-round rejuvenation it deserves. Below we answer three frequently asked questions we hear from patients considering chemical peel treatments.

What are chemical peels?

Chemical peels are carefully-crafted chemical solution treatments to improve the overall appearance of facial skin. Utilizing compounds like alphahydroxy acid (AHA), beta hydroxy acid (BHA), or retinoic acid, chemical peels remove the outer layers of damaged skin and regenerates new skin cells to reveal healthy skin underneath. The end result is smoother, firmer, healthier skin.

Which peel is right for me?

Each peel targets specific skin concerns from sun damage (age spots), acne, fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tones. Depending on your specific needs, a patient with sensitive skin may get a lighter peel while patients with more extensive skin damage may need a deeper peel. At your initial consultation, we will perform a skin analysis and discuss various treatment options in order to find the perfect chemical peel strength to meet your unique needs.

What is a chemical peel procedure like and is there any associated downtime?

Treatment times depend on the specific peel we use, however all of our peel treatments take 30 minutes to an hour. We start by cleansing the skin to remove dirt and oils from the face before the chemical solution is externally applied (a cooling device is used to reduce discomfort). Lastly, we cleanse the face to remove any residual solution. Within the first 24 hours following your cosmetic procedure, the skin may appear flushed and possible facial swelling may occur. The first day or two after your treatment, the skin then goes into a peeling process that can last one to two weeks as new skin gradually reveals itself. Generally, all of our peels require no recovery or downtime and you are able to return to regular routines immediately.

Each month, we offer special savings on some of our favorite treatments and invite you to give us a call at 770-978-1161 to learn more about our products and services. Be sure to also connect with us on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ for the latest skin care specials and updates!
