As an ultra-gentle skin resurfacing procedure, HydraFacial may be able to offer a potential solution. So, does HydraFacial work for acne?

Continue reading for the answer to this question and to learn what patients can expect from a HydraFacial treatment.

What Is HydraFacial?

HydraFacial is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that uses a patented Vortex technology to remove dead skin cells, pore-clogging bacteria, and promote cellular renewal. The procedure is performed in the comfort of our office in just 30 minutes and doesn’t require any downtime.

It is also highly-customizable and safe for all skin types and tones.

Does HydraFacial Work for Acne?

If you’ve been looking for a gentle, yet effective, way to unclog pores and banish breakouts, you may be wondering: Does HydraFacial work for acne?

HydraFacial is an excellent option for anyone with acne-prone skin, oily skin, blackheads, and clogged pores.

To start, it uses Vortex technology to cleanse and exfoliate dead skin cells and other debris that can clog pores and lead to breakouts.

Next, HydraFacial delivers a blend of glycolic and salicylic acids to further loosen and dissolve any remaining residue.

Then comes extractions. While traditional extractions rely on pressing and squeezing, HydraFacial gently suctions out impurities and unclogs pores.

The fourth step involves applying a customized cocktail of antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. This nourishing blend is precisely tailored to each patient’s unique concerns and goals.

Finally, LED light therapy is a popular add-on for those dealing with breakouts, as blue light has the ability to destroy acne-causing bacteria.

Dysport in Washington DC and Olney

 
Prescription Dysport is an injection used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults less than 65 years of age.
 
Dysport is a purified formulation that has been shown to deliver temporary improvements in moderate to severe frown lines, even with repeat treatments. So, the effect of repeat treatment with Dysport may be comparable to your first use.
 
In clinical trials, the efficacy of Dysport was studied in a total of 376 patients and was demonstrated with up to 4 repeated treatments. The safety of Dysport has been studied in up to 12 repeated treatments.

How does Dysport work?
 
Dysport stops the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines.
 
The untreated facial muscles still contract normally, allowing you to freely show facial expressions, such as smiling, in untreated areas.
 
You should not be treated with Dysport more frequently than every 90 days.
 

Is Dysport New?
 
No! Dysport has been available in Europe, Asia, and South America for over 10 years.  
 
Dysport is manufactured by Ipsen Pharmaceuticals (FRA) and is supported by over a decade of clinical experience.  Dysport is distributed in the United States by Medicis, the manufacturers of the revolutionary Restylane dermal filler. Dysport was developed in the United Kingdom in the early 1990’s to successfully treat a number of neurological and opthamalic conditions.
 
It was further developed to treat a wide variety of neuromuscular disorders, for which it is licensed in over 60 countries. Since that time, with an increased understanding of the uses of Dysport, thousands of treatments have been safely and effectively performed for a variety of conditions ranging from facial wrinkles to axillary Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating under the armpits).
 

Is Dysport better than Botox?
 
This topic is widely debated and heavily biased due to most comparative cosmetic studies being partially of fully funded by manufacturers of Botox (Allergan) and Dysport (Ipsen/Medicis).  
 
Many cosmetic physicians outside the U.S. who have used Dysport report greater longevity when compared to Botox.  In most unbiased neurological studies for the treatment of movement disorders, Dysport has provided equal or greater efficacy when used in a 2.5 to 4:1 ratio to Botox.  
 
In a double-blinded randomized crossover study in cervical dystonia (the most common use of neurotoxin in the world), results showed Dysport to be more effective than Botox with a similar safety and side effect profile when used in a 3:1 dose relationship.
 

Why is Injector Selection More Important Than Ever?
 
Studies indicate that Dysport possibly disperses more widely than Botox Cosmetic when injected.
 
While this is advantageous when treating broader areas of small wrinkles such as crows feet, when used to treat glabellar lines of the forehead it could lead to increased occurrence of ptosis (drooping eyelid) if injected by someone inexperienced with Dysport.

What Is Botox®?

This therapeutic muscle relaxing agent is now recognized as a safe and effective way to treat wrinkles with no long term effects.

Botox® DC: Before and After Video

How Does Botox® Work?

Botox®, a neurotoxin, is injected into a muscle which blocks the nerve impulse that prevents contraction of the muscle. The muscle weakens, and eventually the wrinkles in the skin gradually soften and often disappear.

How Safe Is Botox®?

Botox® has been used safely in ophthalmology for over 10 years and for wrinkle therapy for over six years. Any possible Botox® side effects are temporary.

What Are The Possible Side Effects of Botox®?

Some possible side affects are mild bruising and drooping. A bruise would last a few days and a droop can last one to two weeks. These side effects are not common and are temporary.

What Causes Wrinkles?

Dynamic wrinkles are caused by contractions of the delicate underlying facial muscles very time you smile, laugh, or frown.

The more emotion you show the deeper these wrinkles and lines are likely to be. Left untreated these lines may become permanent.

What Can Be Done About Wrinkles?

Now frown lines, crows feet, and forehead lines can be dramatically softened or eliminated.

This procedure, known as a cosmetic denervation, uses Botox® injections to improve the appearance of worry lines, frown lines, laugh lines, crows feet and other dynamic wrinkles.

Information About Botox® Washington DC Treatment For Hyperhidrosis

Botox® treatment helps control excessive underarm sweating by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from nerves which stimulate the sweat glands to secrete sweat.

When the sweat glands don’t receive chemical signals, sweating stops. Botox® treatment for Hyperhidrosis is very effective and normally lasts 4-6 months.

For patients with hyperhidrosis, botulinum toxin treatment is associated with significant improvements in mental and physical health, according to a study published online in the Journal of Dermatology.

Alexander Shayesteh, from Umeå University in Sweden, and colleagues examined the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and hazardous alcohol consumption among patients with hyperhidrosis.

They further examined whether treatment with botulinum toxin changed these effects. Questionnaires regarding hyperhidrosis and symptoms were administered to 114 patients (average age of onset, 13.4 years; 48% described heredity for hyperhidrosis).

The researchers found that two weeks after botulinum toxin treatment, patients with axillary and palmar hyperhidrosis had significant improvements regarding mean hyperhidrosis disease severity scale, visual analog scale 10-point scale, hospital anxiety anddepression scale, short-form health survey-36, and sweat-related health problems. Participants had no significant changes in mean alcohol use disorder identification tests.

“Primary hyperhidrosis mainly impairs mental rather than physical aspects of life and also interferes with specific daily activities of the affected individuals,” the authors write. “Despite this, our patients did not show signs of anxiety, depression, or hazardous alcohol consumption.”

Botox Done Correctly

Botox DC: No One Notices If You Do It Right

Botox–when injected improperly or overdone–can be noticeable in an instant, and not in a good way. On the flip side, when done correctly, Botox should help you look more refreshed and subtly take away those pesky fine lines and wrinkles.

In a recent article for SHAPE, Kiera Aaron, who is the deputy web editor of SHAPE and FITNESS, talks about getting Botox Cosmetic injections and putting the “no one notices if you do it right” claim to the test.

In the article, Aaron says she didn’t tell her fiance about her Botox for quite some time.

Aaron says that when she finally confessed, her husband-to-be couldn’t even tell until they compared “angry eyebrow” faces in the mirror.

Dr. Joshua Zeichner, who administered the injections for Aaron, also stresses the importance of how much Botox is injected.

“Injecting too much around your eyes can blunt your smile and look unnatural too,” said Zeichner.
