Beauty Breakthroughs in Skin Rejuvenation
To keep the Fountain of Youth flowing freely, the aesthetic industry continually leads the way with new and advanced therapies for skin rejuvenation. The new kids on the block, Skinfinity RF™ and the Eclipse MicroPen™, are now offering combined treatment to reverse the hands of time in just one visit.
“In today’s world of aesthetic medicine, stand-alone treatments are more often than ever becoming somewhat obsolete,” says Tom O’Brien, CEO of Eclipse Aesthetics, a leading medical device company located in Dallas, Texas. www.eclipseaesthetics.com. “These treatments are being replaced with combination therapies due to ever increasing patient demand for better results.”
Aesthetic surgeons are relying on multiple modalities to provide a more complete non-surgical solution for their patients’ anti-aging needs. Prior to this phenomenon, a single modality laser would be offered up as a patient’s best solution. Today’s approach involves treating the skin at each layer with modalities that complement each other. Some surgeons call this “stacking”, especially when they complement and combine skin rejuvenation with fillers or neurotoxins.
Skinfinity RF™, a fractional skin remodeling system, has emerged as an ideal complement to this combination treatment approach. It is a color-blind micro-ablative radio frequency technology that produces a great outcome for the treatment of wrinkles and acne scar reduction. It also improves skin texture and tone with minimal down time. SkinfinityRF™ balances the efficacy of the traditional ablative modalities with the recovery experience that is similar to less effective non-ablative procedures. Traditional devices such as the CO2 laser skin resurfacing devices often came with great risk. Conversely, the less heralded non-ablative lasers either fell short of expectations or simply did not work at all. By combining the revolutionary SkinfinityRF™ device with other proven treatments, patients are finding a more predictable path to obtaining superior results.
“The idea is that to counter the signs of aging the body is encouraged to stimulate collagen growth as collagen is essentially the scaffolding which our facial features are built around. By causing collagen formation via radio frequency (heat trauma) energy deep into the dermis, the benefits are seen on the skin’s surface. Therefore, SkinfinityRF™ is able to positively affect aged skin, inside and out,” continued O’Brien. “SkinfinityRF™ lays down the foundation for new collagen synthesis and serves as the stimulus on which the other treatments can build a more youthful looking complexion.”
As a complement, the Eclipse MicroPen™ micro-needling system can also be used to help induce additional collagen formation to the skin. This application is done by creating thousands of precise mechanical micro-injuries and micro channels. Surprisingly, this process can be accomplished with minimal discomfort. The MicroPen induced process also simultaneously creates micro-channels which allow for deeper skin penetration of select topical skincare products. Adding select skincare products to the combination therapy approach is considered by many doctors as an important part of the aging skin restoration process.
One cosmetic surgeon that is experiencing tremendous success with the combination of SkinFinityRF™, Eclipse Micropen™ and Eclipse PRP™ is Central Florida’s E. John Serrão, M.D. Dr. Serrão, a cosmetic-plastic gynecologist who practices in Orlando, Florida, has discovered the ‘Fountain of Youth’ with his combination approach to anti-aging. This combination approach utilizes the Eclipse products with other innovative technologies to make patients look younger. Dr. Serrão’s ‘Fountain of Youth’ utilizes a customized treatment regimen designed to meet the needs of each individual patient during an initial consultation.
Dr. Serrão is excited to be the first physician in Florida to offer the latest Eclipse products and will be including them in his ‘Fountain of Youth’ treatment program. “The SkinfinityRF™ is the medical device that Florida has been waiting for. This treatment is perfect for sun damaged skin and can be used year round with very little downtime and discomfort. SkinFinityRF™, Eclipse Micropen™ and Eclipse PRP™ are used in my practice on a regular basis with great success and high patient satisfaction. The combination of these innovative technologies with other treatments such as IPL, neurotoxins, dermal fillers and medical-grade skin care products can make a patient look so much younger without surgery.” The ‘Fountain of Youth’ by Dr. Serrão has been discovered and patients are looking decades younger!
Dr. Serrão is also utilizing the SkinFinityRF™, Eclipse Micropen™ and Eclipse PRP™ for the treatment of stretch marks and scarring with great success. “I have been impressed with the combination therapy of the ablative RF, micro-needling, PRP, and the 1540 fractional non-ablative laser for the treatment of striae on various body areas including the breasts, abdomen and thighs. Patients call inquiring about treatments for stretch marks and scars on a daily basis; now I can offer them all of the modalities that are available and combine them as needed to achieve a positive outcome. I am expecting to see a much higher level of patient satisfaction with the addition of SkinFinityRF™, Eclipse Micropen™ and Eclipse PRP™ to my treatment regimen.”
