After-Summer Skin Care

Young and old, we have all come to understand the importance of sun damage. Sun (UV) exposure causes injury to our cells the can lead to several types of skin cancer, and to accelerated aging. The aging changes include blotchy pigmentation, surface texture, dry appearance, and loss of elasticity and firmness.

Cosmetic surgery procedures like facelifts, browlifts and blepharoplasty remove some of the lax skin. They offer deeper benefits by resuspending and recontouring underlying structures. However, they still leave behind your natural skin with its sun damage changes.

Our Skin Care Specialists have various ways to improve your skin's appearance. We offer careful, experienced evaluation and important education. There are both occasional procedures we perform and daily care each individual can do to get the best appearance.

Now that summer is over and sun exposure is decreasing, call us to learn more.

Interest in Cosmetic Procedures in a Down Economy

In addition to general reporting on the US economy, many national media reports mention the impact on cosmetic surgery and cosmetic medical procedures.

Greenville and Upstate South Carolina appear to have several advantages. Our regional economy is stronger because of our exporting sector. We continue to have employers expanding and investing. We have not seen the dramatic home price inflation of other areas. Our region remains attractive to families moving from many parts of the country.

In our practice, as summer winds down, Skin Care clients return to continue their routines and minimize the effects of past sun exposure. Minimally invasive procedures (BotoxCosmetic, Restylane, Juvaderm, MicroLaserPeels, laser hair removal, etc.) continue being popular. Breast and facial cosmetic surgery procedures continue to be the most sought after, followed by body contouring (tummy tuck and liposuction). We expect to be busier as fall season approaches.
