Lehigh Valley, PA April 20, 2011- Azani Medical Spa in Bethlehem is now offering Laser Skin Resurfacing with Fraxel treatment for  to treat wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, sun-induced redness, melasma, and much more: click here for more info.

Fraxel treatment for skin resurfacing is an innovative laser treatment which assists in removing years from the appearance of the skin. Laser skin resurfacing allows a patient to recover a more youthful look, by essentially restoring damaged skin with new, fresh skin. Fraxel treatment for skin resurfacing carries astonishing results with a fast recovery time. After treatment, patients will be able to quickly return to their normal daily activities and work. Primary targets of laser skin resurfacing include the fine lines and wrinkles of the face, loose eyelid skin, crow's feet around the eyes, frown lines, brown spots, uneven skin tone, acne scars, loose skin around the neck, and much more.

Laser skin resurfacing includes an in-office procedure with a topical anesthetic cream. This topical anesthetic cream is applied 30-40 minutes before the procedure begins in addition to some mild oral pain medication. "There is little to no pain associated with the procedure - most patients say they feel warmth similar to sunburn", comments Dr. Monica Gavin. "After about 3-5 days, you will wear make-up and go back to work." A patient may expect the results of laser skin resurfacing to be long-term. With proper skin protection, the results of this procedure can persevere for many years to come. The result that may not become evident right away includes that of new collagen formation within the skin. These results build up gradually and will become increasingly apparent over time. Therefore, most patients will look their best 3-5 months after the laser skin resurfacing procedure.

Center Valley, PA April 14, 2011- Azani Medical Spa in Easton is now offering Vibradermabrasion|Skin Restoration: click here for more info.

Vibradermabrasion is considered to be one of the most inventive skin restoration treatments on the market, removing dead tissue from the skin.  After only one treatment, the skin will be left feeling soft and smooth with improvements in the tone and texture of the skin. However, Vibradermabrasion treatments require subsequent treatments to keep the skin feeling soft and smooth. Fine lines around the eyes and lips appear as the body ages. The effects of the sun, pollution, smoking, alcohol, and stress begin to take a toll as the body ages. These fine lines may also turn into deeper wrinkles as the body begins to produce a decreased amount of collagen with age.

Vibradermabrasion treatment works by gently removing the top layers of the skin, leaving the skin to feel exfoliated and resurfaced. As a result, new and smoother skin will begin to emerge. Vibradermabrasion is primarily performed on the face and neck, sometimes even the hands. Benefits of Vibradermabrasion include a painless, affordable treatment with no recovery period. “Vibraderm uses a large surface coated with fixed abrasives. Large areas can be treated evenly with less irritation”, comments Dr. Gavin. “Studies have shown that Vibradermabrasion is more effective than microdermabrasion and patients prefer it”.

Lehigh Valley, PA April 11, 2011- Azani Medical Spa in Bethlehem is offering Dysport for wrinkle treatment: http://azanimedicalspa.com/aesthetic-services/botox-wrinkles.

Dysport is a non-surgical, highly effective, and safe way to erase fine lines; even the toughest of wrinkles. These fine lines are formed by repeated movement of the facial skin by the forehead muscles. A patient may see results within 7 days of their Dysport treatment. Dysport is manufactured by Medicis while Allergan manufactures Botox, which works the same as Dysport. In many cases, Dysport carries a faster onset of action than Botox. Dysport is injected into the muscles of the glabella region (between the eyebrows), which blocks nerve impluses to these muscles. Muscle activity becomes reduced while moderate to severe lines soften with wrinkle reduction.

Various benefits of Dysport include immediately returning to normal activities, Dysport injections are completed in 30 minutes or less, and Dysport injection last for several months. "Fine lines like crow's feet, lip lines, forehead and the area between the eyebrows are usually successfully managed by Dysport - leaving a wonderful, relaxed, and natural look", comments Dr. Gavin. "You still have facial expression - just not the lines anymore".
