Laser Removal of Sun Spots in New Jersey Egg Harbor Township, NJ
Phototherapy I BBL™ – BroadBand Light
Treatment of sun damage, age spots, and redness
What is BBL Broadband Light?
BBL is an innovative technology that sets new standards for skin conditions associated with aging, active life-styles, and sun damage. BBL energy allows the physician to precisely treat age and sun spots, small facial veins, and many other skin conditions. Your treatment will be tailored to match your skin type and your desired results. Any area of your body can be treated. The most common areas are those most exposed to the damaging effects of sunlight. The most popular treatments are on the face, neck, back of the hands, chest and shoulders.
The following conditions can be treated with BBL:
• Pigmented Lesions (e.g., freckles, age spots)
• Vascular Lesions (e.g., small blood vessels)
• Acne
• Skin Firmness
• Uneven Skin Texture
• Unwanted Hair
How it works
The light energy delivered by the BBL will gently heat the upper layers of your skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas will stimulate your skin cells to regenerate new collagen foundation, leading to increased skin firmness. This process will restore your skin to its natural beauty, blending its natural colors and making it smoother, vibrant and younger looking. In addition, the photothermal energy will eliminate fine vessels that cause redness and reduce unwanted melanin that produces pigmented lesions.
During treatment
Your eyes will be protected with safety shields or glasses. You may briefly feel a warm or “rubber band snap” sensation as the light is absorbed by the targeted areas. Your procedure may take a few minutes to half an hour depending on the size of the area to be treated and the type of procedure performed. The physician will discuss all of your options with you.
The procedure is gentle, noninvasive, and safe. Generally, there is no need for a topical anesthetic, however, the physician may choose to use it on more sensitive areas.
The number of treatments needed will vary from patient to patient and the physician will personalize a treatment plan based on the level of improvement you desire. The physician may also combine your treatment with other popular aesthetic procedures to further personalize your treatment.
After treatment
You may experience some redness that should resolve within a few hours. For some pigmented lesions, you will see a darkening of the treated areas followed by fading and flaking off at a later stage. Your treated skin will feel smoother, fine lines and pores will be less noticeable, and sunspots or uneven pigmentation will fade. Results depend on your condition, the number of treatments, and the area treated. The physician will provide you with complete information about the post-treatment care and results.
It is important to follow the physician’s aftercare instructions. You may be given some skin care products and instructions on how to use them. You will be sensitive to ultraviolet light and you must avoid direct sun exposure until completely healed. Fully cover your skin or use a good sunscreen whenever you go outdoors.
This is a noninvasive and gentle procedure with virtually no downtime. In most cases, you are immediately able to return to work, apply makeup, and resume most activities.

Botox Injections in Egg Harbor Township, NJ South Jersey

FAQ
What is BOTOX® ?
BOTOX® is commonly used to eliminate forehead lines, worry lines, crow’s feet and vertical lines between eyebrows.
BOTOX® is the trade name of Botulinum Toxin Type A, a purified toxin produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum. It acts by blocking the nerve impulses to muscles. By using extremely small doses of BOTOX®, injected directly into a specific muscle, only the action of that muscle will be paralyzed. Therefore, the problem that muscle causes, like a frown line, or in other cases, a twitch or spasm, will be stopped.
Where is BOTOX® injected?
The frown line between the eyebrows is caused by the action of a muscle called the corrugator. You can feel this as a thickening just below the inside of your eyebrows, when you purposefully make yourself frown.
Can BOTOX® be used for other wrinkles or other problems?
BOTOX® is also effective in the treatment of crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles. BOTOX® is also used for excess sweating (underarms, palms), migraines, tremors and other conditions
How long will the effects of BOTOX® last?
The actual treatment takes only a few minutes and the BOTOX® takes effect in three to four days. Gradually, over three to five months, the BOTOX® effect will fade, and the muscle action will return. When the frown line starts to reappear, a simple repeat treatment is all that is necessary to maintain the desired result.
How has BOTOX® been tested?
BOTOX® has been used since 1980 for the treatment of strabismus (lazy eye) and blepharospasm (uncontrolled eye blinking). The use of BOTOX® for forehead wrinkles was pioneered in 1989 by Dr. Jean Carruthers of Vancouver
What are the side effects?
There have been no permanent side effects from the use of BOTOX®. The temporary side effects of BOTOX® are related to the local injection of the solution. There will be some discomfort from the needle entering the skin. Your medical practitioner may apply a local anesthetic to alleviate discomfort. There is also a small chance of a temporary bruise at the site of the injection. You will need to remain upright for a few hours following the procedure. Approximately 1% of patients will develop a slight lowering or drooping of one eyelid (also known as ptosis). This is temporary. Some patients report headaches on the first day.
What is Dysport® ?
Dysport is a medically derived subunit of botulinum toxin called abobotuliunum toxin. This acts to weaken the muscles in the areas which it is placed. The precise placement of Dysport into specific areas of the face will improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
How does Dysport work?
Dysport works by weakening the muscles of facial expression that insert onto the surface of the skin. Weakening the pull of these muscles, will decrease the tension that they place on the skin, allowing the wrinkles to flatten out. Over time, cumulative benefits are observed as a skin is allowed to remodel without the negative influence of the wrinkle-creating facial muscles.
What areas are commonly treated with Dysport?
Dysport is very effective in treating dynamic facial wrinkles. The areas most commonly treated by dysport include the crow’s feet (lines around the eyes), worry lines between the eyebrows (vertical glabellar rhytids), and the lines across the forehead (horizontal rhytids).
How long does it take for Dysport to work?
The effects of Dysport are often seen as soon as the next day. In approximately 7 days maximal benefit will be achieved.
How long do the results of Dysport last?
Dysport lasts anywhere from 3-6 months.
If I’ve had Botox injections before can I switch to Dysport?
Yes. Since Dysport acts in a very similar fashion to Botox on a physiologic level, these products are interchangeable. Since the dosing is different, it is important to find a cosmetic specialist that is experienced in both products and understands the conversion.
Botox stopped working on me, will Dysport help?
Yes. Dysport is often used to treat patients who have stopped responding to Botox. It can be very effective and beneficial in these cases.
Will Dysport make me Lose all facial expression?
Absolutely Not! Properly planned, performed and executed Dysport treatment can improve the appearance of your wrinkles and maintain a natural appearance.
How long does the Dysport injection take?
The procedure takes between five to 15 minutes to perform. You may return to your normal activities immediately. We ask that you avoid any rubbing of your face.
Does Dysport hurt?
Patients are often apprehensive about the prospect of pain with injection. Our advanced special techniques minimize or eliminate the pain of the injection. In fact, most patients are often surprised at how little they felt.
What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Since both Dysport and Botox treat dynamic wrinkles through relaxation of the muscle that caused the wrinkle their results are very similar. However, there are potential benefits to both products. Experienced with both Botox and Dysport, our staff will help you select which product will be best for you.
How long until I see the effects of the Dysport treatment?
The effects of Dysport are seen as early as a day or two after your procedure. This is a benefit of Dysport over Botox, which takes several more days to take effect. Final treatment results will be seen at around 7-10 days from the procedure.
Can Dysport lift my eyebrows?
Yes. Dysport, strategically placed, will achieve brow elevation and the appearance of a Brow Lift.

Understanding Botox Injections Doctor Tsyganov Egg Harbor Township New Jersey 08234
http://luxuriamedspa.com/botox-cosmetic-and-dysport/
Botox injections have been found to help in many areas such as reducing migraines and sweating, to cosmetically enhancing deep-set wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. This toxin works by relaxing, or temporarily paralyzing, the muscle. Relaxing the muscle allows the wrinkle to release for a more youthful, natural look. Read more about specific areas that Botox injections may help give you younger looking skin.
Typical Face Injections
Laugh Lines
Laugh lines can be found around the mouth. Usually a result of smiling and frowning, laugh lines may also deepen due to cigarette smoking. Botox injections will fill the lines for a more natural appearance without smiling or frowning.
Crow’s Feet
Nothing gives away age more than the lines found around the eyes. These lines fan out from the outer corners of the eye. This eye area is the most delicate area on the face. Most commonly due to age, crow’s feet could also be a result of tugging or pulling too hard at this area of skin. Botox injections release the constricted muscles for a younger looking eye area.
Forehead Lines and Furrows
Forehead furrows refer to the horizontal lines made from raising your eyebrows. Forehead lines refer to the wrinkle between the eyebrows at the top of the nose. These lines become more prominent with age, as the muscle loses its elasticity, and begins to fall. Botox injections to plump the sagging skin and fill permanent lines.
Important Risks
Like all cosmetic procedures there are risks involved with Botox injections. Over the years patients have sought out MedSpa’s to save money but your doctor should administer the Botox injections. If the injections are not done properly, the Botox can spread into other tissues causing drooping, sagging or crooked results. More commonly risks include soreness, bruising or swelling. Injections are a temporary fix to the skin. Patients typically need injections every 3-4 months, however all patients’ vary.
Don’t risk these unnecessary outcomes; schedule a consultation with Dr. Igor Tsyganov to talk more about the procedure and if injections are the right choice for you. http://luxuriamedspa.com/botox-cosmetic-and-dysport/

non surgical liposuction in new jersey
f you’ve committed to undergoing laser lipo treatments then you’ve likely read the recommended protocol that we publish for Zerona Laser and Lapex Laser patients. While the protocol is optional, testing has demonstrated that those following the protocol have the best results.
Why a Low Fat Diet?
One key recommendation is that you follow a low-fat diet. In recent years there has been a fair amount of debate over which is better for weight loss – low fat, low carb or low glycemic. A high fat/low carb diet is designed to help your cells release fat into your bloodstream. However when you are undergoing lipolaser treatments, the laser is doing just that so adding excess dietary fat is going to slow your progress. Since there’s a limit to how much fat your body can use as energy or process through your liver to be excreted, you don’t want to add too much dietary fat to your body while undergoing treatment.
Just keep in mind that the goal you are aiming for with Zerona treatments is to maximize fat loss. While you may also lose weight from your treatments, laser lipo’s goal is to remove only body fat. When you diet for weight loss, you will almost certainly lose water, muscle and fat (in that order). Since your aiming to lose primarily fat and not water or muscle, a low fat diet is the better choice for this purpose. You can choose to eat a low fat diet that is also low glycemic and low carb.
Your Cells Will Release Body Fat into Your Blood Stream
Zerona and Lapex Laser treatments will release fat from your cells into your blood stream. A low fat diet will best allow your body to convert the newly release fat into energy and purge your system of the excess.
How Do I Plan My Diet?
Fortunately the Internet is full of great tools and recipes that will allow you to create a diet that keeps your body and taste buds happy. The Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet was created to help people with high levels of LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) and these guidelines can work well here. Here’s a link to a sample menu for the TLC diet.
One of the best dietary tool sets on the web is also free – Sparkpeople.com. This site offers recipes, support, meal planning tools, nutrition and exercise tracking tools and nutritional information for almost anything you can eat plus a free mobile ap. You can keep it simple with their Mix & Match Diet Tool (log in required) that will quickly let you make food choices while viewing the nutritional impact each choice makes.
In summary, a low fat diet is your best choice to improve your laser lipo results and free web tools can make it easy to design a meal plan you’ll enjoy.

What to expect from Laser Hair Removal Treatment.
The popularity of laser hair removal in South Jersey cannot
be denied! At the Luxuria Medical Spa of EHT, we have been busy performing laser
hair removal treatment for a variety of different areas of the body, skin
colors/tones, and sizes of the areas that we are working on. Many people who have tried our services have
been very satisfied with the results.
For those who are considering getting the procedures done, here are a
few tips about what to expect and to help you get the most out of your laser
hair removal treatment.
Here is what you might expect in the hours, days and weeks
following your laser hair removal:
- Pinkness,
redness or itchiness. If you are feeling this, then the laser has
done its job in disabling your hair follicles. It has also likely
irritated your skin a little bit. Residual itchiness or pinkness might
persist for up to 24 hours. Some people describe the sensation as feeling
like razor burn. If it lasts longer than that, give us a call; this very
well may be normal, but it’s worth calling to ask.
- Shedding.
One to three weeks after your initial treatment, you may notice less hair
growth and maintenance. During this process the follicles shed the hairs
that were in the growing phase of their cycle, which is the anogen phase.
The shedding process will look like blackheads or stubble that is pushing
its way out of the follicle. Exfoliating is most important during
this process so the hairs can shed easier.
- Some
regrowth. Remember that the laser only disables the follicles of
the hair that was in its growing phase when you were in the office that
day. The follicles that were resting will be beginning to "wake up”
over the course of the next few weeks, and they will still be growing
hair.
In order to make your hair removal most effective, here are
some things that you can do to help the process along:
- Exfoliate.
Three times per week, use an exfoliating scrub or a washcloth in the
shower on the area where you had hair removed. The reason for this is to
allow the shedding process to happen unhindered by dead skin cells and
other debris. You don’t want to irritate your skin, so be gentle!
- Cut
or shave regrowing hair. Don’t tweeze, pluck or wax new growth!
Remember that your next appointment will be in four to eight weeks, and
you will need to leave the hairs in their shafts in order for the laser to
work on them. You can cut, trim or shave hair as necessary. You can also
use a chemical depilatory, such as Nair, in between appointments, but not
within two days of your next treatment.
- Continue
to use sunscreen. You want your skin to be as light as possible
during your treatments, so don’t go tanning or forget sunscreen. Also, a
sunburn will irritate your skin in addition to the irritation caused by
the laser, so be careful. Use SPF 30 sunscreen for two weeks before and
after each treatment.
- Keep
track of any medications taken. If you need to go on
prescription, over-the-counter, or herbal medication, talk to your
healthcare provider about your laser hair removal treatments. Also, call
your laser hair removal specialist to find out whether there is a
contraindication. Your next appointment can always be rescheduled if
necessary.
- Remember
to talk to call us at 1 (609) 241-8723 about any questions or
concerns that you may have. If something doesn’t feel right after
treatment, then don’t hesitate to call and ask.
