Behind The Scenes at WBAL

So bright & early this past Sunday morning, our Diva of Dermatology, Dr. Noelle Sherber & yours truly were featured in a segment on Baltimore's WBAL TV focusing on erasing the sins of the summer from your skin. Here we are before going on air joined by our fabulous Marketing Maven, Quinn. We were all rocking out some serious concealer as we had to get up at 5:00AM- have I mentioned what a joy I am to be around in the early morning hours?
Here we are getting ready for the segment, with my necklace doing something wonky. Note: when you see yourself on tv all you ever notice is what's wrong!

Here I am talking about home care & professional options for treating hyperpigmentation after a summer of worshipping the sun. I joke that I have no idea what I said(ha ha!), because the cameras are robots & I was so focused on where I was supposed to be looking. However, in case you missed our informative awesomeness- I'll go over tips & tricks for 'fall'ing back in love with your skin as we head into the cooler seasons the rest of the week.

Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M

Behinds the Scenes with IPL

Spots really on look cute on a Dalmatian! Though hyperpigmentation or sun/age spots are a common frustration with most women- I know they are for me. My freckles were cute & I dealt with them until I hit 25. But who doesn't want a more luminous & even skintone? Yes please! Research shows that people equate pigmentation with age & you know this girl is allergic to aging! There are several topical approaches to lightening the skin- vitamin C, Kojic Acid; as well as prescription methods such as Hydroquinone. Our Skin Medica chemical peels are a very popular treatment at the spa for evening out pigmentation concerns; while also improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles. The next step we suggest {& often we suggest pairing it with a chemical peel) for stubborn spots is IPL.

So I wanted to take you behinds the scenes & show you what a treatment with Dr. Noelle Sherber with Intense Pulsed Light entails. Take a peek! IPL is often most successful when performed on skin that isn't tan- which is why our last laser event until the fall will be on June 21st! The laser can feel like little rubber bands snapping on the skin, but is very tolerable. For the next few days following the treatment, your spots will actually get a little darker before they flake off. The result? An amazing overall improvement in the brightness & evenness of your skin! Feel free to leave wither myself or Dr. Sherber a question in the comments section if you have one!
