Instant Collagen
Radiesse is one of our options for “volumizing” the face and the hands. As many of us are aware, over time we lose the fullness in our cheeks, lips, and virtually all parts of the face. As a result, we start looking tired, sad and saggy. The same process is occurring in the hands and […]

The process of restoring our Carlsbad office is underway but will be another 3-4 weeks. In the meantime we are very grateful to East of Bali for letting us use their location as we continue to see our Carlsbad clients. Thank you for all your patience and understanding.
Carlsbad Fire Update #2
Our Carlsbad location suffered damage in the recent fires. Fortunately, all of our staff are safe, and none of our equipment was damaged.

Synergy
Synergy” -the interaction of elements that when combined produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of the individual elements I am often asked “what is the key to good skin? Or, what is the best thing to use for my skin?” Being an overachieving, pleaser type, I work hard to give a […]

This means it is a compound that is naturally found in the human body, making it very safe. It is different in that it is […]
How to Glow
On a recent vacation, I had the opportunity to do some people watching. Being in the cosmetic field, I spent that time looking at a lot of faces. There were many women between the ages of 30 and 80; some were pretty and some, not so much. (Of course, all of this “research” had to […]
Get The Lift
Get The Lift The most exciting development in cosmetic medicine in the last couple of years is the improvement in our understanding of what causes the sagging face. This has come about largely as a result of the development of several new options for treatment. When the surgical “face lift” was the only treatment option the […]
How Many Fraxel’s Are There?
The Fraxel laser revolutionized the laser skin care industry when it was introduced in 2003. Prior to that the CO2 and erbium lasers were the key lasers for skin rejuvenation and collagen stimulation. Unfortunately, these lasers had significant complications rates, long down times (4-5wks) and were not safe on darker skin types. By “fractionating” the […]
To Botox or Not to Botox?
At Dermacare, sometimes clients struggle with what it means to “age gracefully”. They ask themselves: should I get a Fraxel, Botox, or just accept the changes in my face and “age gracefully”? These questions have made me wonder what does it mean to age gracefully? Maybe getting treatments is aging gracefully. Aging gracefully will mean […]
I Love Learning!
The thing that has energized me the most since transitioning from traditional family practice to Dermacare is the learning process. I was becoming burned out after 17 years in family medicine. This has been a great change. Medical esthetics is a relative young field; new technologies are being developed all the time. We are still […]
