Stop Making These Skin Care Mistakes Today

Do you struggle with skin issues that pose problems and affect your self-esteem? You may think that your long-established acne scars, enlarged pores, wrinkles, and sun spots are permanent, but think again.

Dr. Sharon Gertzman offers a wide range of treatments that improve the feel and appearance of your skin, make you look more vibrant and youthful, and seem to turn back the clock. 

Our Serenity Medical Spa team enjoys nothing more than restoring your complexion with effective treatments that are safe, proven, noninvasive, and don't require you to sacrifice unrealistic amounts of time, either in receiving your treatment or recovering from it.  

Don’t treat your skin like this!

Some of the bad habits we develop around our skin have lasting effects, and make us look older, or just not our best. These problematic and neglectful practices include:

• Failing to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun 
• Picking at and popping pimples
• Smoking
• Skimping on cleaning and care
• A less-than-healthy diet
• Going overboard with exfoliation

The effects of these habits take a toll on your skin. Skipping daily cleansing and skin care often results in oil and dirt buildup and pimples, the sun creates wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, and severe acne can lead to permanent scarring.

Additionally, a diet that isn’t nutrient-rich can speed up skin aging, and using tobacco starves your skin of essential nutrients and oxygen, while over-exfoliation may hasten your skin’s drying process (which you don’t want). 

I’ve made more than one of these mistakes! Can anything help?

We’re happy to report that we offer innovative treatments to address all of these problems and restore your skin back to its “glory days.” We provide:

1. TempSure™ Envi treatment employs radiofrequency (RF) energy to jumpstart your skin into producing collagen, which plumps up your skin.

2. VivaceⓇ microneedling treatments use tiny skin punctures to energize your collagen production. These treatments not only smooth and tighten your skin to eliminate wrinkles, they minimize stubborn acne scars. 

3. PicosureⓇ laser treatments zap the spots created by UV damage from the sun, smooth acne scars, and tighten your skin. 

4. Dermal fillers do an amazing job at erasing deep facial folds through treatments like JuverdermⓇ Voluma SC, Sculptra™, and Restylane™. They’re all options that can transform your skin for up to two years, and the results are visible immediately after treatment.

Restylane Silk addresses lip lines, while Restylane Lyft erases marionette lines (the ones that extend from the sides of your mouth downward) and nasolabial folds (creases from your nostrils to your lips).

5. Botulinum toxin A, commonly known as BotoxⓇ or DysportⓇ, are neurotoxin-based treatments that are particularly good at smoothing your forehead and eye areas, from right after your appointment at Serenity for up to four months. 

6. RadiesseⓇ contains calcium-based microspheres that fuel collagen production and increase facial volume, particularly to the middle of your face, and results typically last for 12 months. 

7. Poly-L-lactic acid is an effective ingredient in Sculptra treatments, whose results last an amazing two years. This is also a treatment that’s ideal for the mid-face, but not for the lips. 

8. The SkitonⓇ Profile Microlaser Laser Peel™ is an easy epidermal peel that smooths your skin and minimizes acne scars. Profractional laser resurfacing and dermal remodeling also work wonders on acne scars. 

9. Another high-tech, targeted treatment is Subnovii plasma treatment. A special pen creates a small wound with LF+ (low frequency combined with a special patented wavelength ) energy. 

This in turn makes your skin produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, but it’s painless and the pen never even makes contact with your skin. The treatment is excellent for line smoothing, especially lines that emanate from your lips, tightening neck skin, and minimizing acne scars. 

10. Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments  and photodynamic therapy help with sun damage, like redness, hyperpigmentation, and rough skin texture. 

11. Deka CoolPeelⓇ is a high-precision CO2 laser treatment, performed via the SmartXide Tetra laser tool that improves the look of wrinkles and minimizes acne scarring. 

12. Even though this isn’t considered an in-office treatment, the skincare regimen and products you use on your face daily go a long way toward preserving the results of our in-office treatments and giving your skin all-around TLC. 

We offer a full line of extraordinary products by ZOⓇ Skin Health and others, from cleansers and moisturizers to toners and brighteners. 

It makes no sense to suffer another day with skin that you’re not proud of. Dr. Gertzman can fix the problems caused by ignoring best practices for years. Call our Pennington office today to schedule an appointment, or request one online.
