Just Laser It!....and all things Cosmetic

Melasma!
Welcome back to another episode of Just Laser It, where we break down the science behind the most common skin conditions and discuss the latest in cosmetic dermatology. Today, we’re diving into a particularly stubborn condition—melasma. Known for its characteristic dark patches, melasma can be incredibly frustrating to treat due to its complex triggers and chronic nature. 

While many of us may look to advanced treatments like lasers or chemical peels, topicals are actually the first line of defense and often the most effective way to manage this condition. In fact, relying too heavily on procedures may not always improve the appearance and, in some cases, can even make things worse. Join us to explore the challenges of treating melasma and why starting with the right topical regimen is critical to long-term success.

Let’s get started!

Join Dr. Saluja and Kane discuss the Dynamic Age Defense Cream by Pavise which is a cutting-edge skincare innovation, meticulously designed by Sophie Bai to address the signs of aging through advanced scientific technology. 

At its core, this cream features a unique diamond core nanostructure particle surrounded by uniform crystals of zinc oxide. This proprietary formulation enhances the stability, transparency, and delivery of potent bioactive ingredients, ensuring maximum efficacy.

The diamond core structure allows for precise delivery of key active ingredients, while the uniform zinc crystal provides robust protection and enhances skin barrier function. This unique formulation helps minimize reactive oxygen species, thereby slowing the aging process.

Our diet is a key component that can add to our aging.
Did you know that sugar can cause "Skin Sugar Sag"?

In this episode, Dr. Saluja and Kane explore how sugar consumption can significantly impact skin health through a process known as glycation. This occurs when excess sugar molecules attach themselves to collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep skin firm and elastic. Over time, this reaction forms harmful new molecules known as Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs). AGEs accumulate, leading to the breakdown of collagen and elastin, resulting in skin that appears less firm and more wrinkled—a phenomenon often referred to as "sugar sag." Reducing sugar intake can help mitigate this process, preserving skin's youthful appearance and maintaining its structural integrity

 Welcome Back! In this episode, Dr. Saluja and Kane will be analyzing fictitious case studies of patients who are seeking to enhance their appearance through various cosmetic procedures. 

From tackling fine lines and wrinkles to addressing skin discoloration and texture irregularities, we'll explore the nuanced decisions that go into recommending treatments such as neuromodulators, fillers and energy-based devices as well as how to protect and improve you skin at home!

Photobiomodulation (LED or LLLT) utilizes light to trigger biological changes.  It primarily involves red (633 nm) and near infrared light (830 nm) for wound healing and tissue repair by promoting cellular growth and regeneration which accelerates the healing process. 

It also helps reduce inflammation and pain in muscular injuries.
Neuroprotective effects are also being studied to enhance cognitive effects and help protect from neural inflammation seen in a variety of disease states of the brain.

PBM is non-invasive, non-thermal and now at home devices are available.

Hope you enjoy!

Automated Microneedling utilizes tiny needles which penetrate into the skin at very fast rates (from 100 to 150 hz or repetition rate).

These tiny needle insertions create pinpoint bleeding which initiates the wound healing cascade to stimulate elastin and collagen.

This episode discusses the Exceed MN Pen and discusses pre-treatment recommendations as well as post treatment care.

We like to utilize Exosomes post treatment (refer to episode #12 for more info on exosomes).

Enjoy!
