PREMIER ISSUE
‘‘
We are proud to
announce our new
body treatment
and provide unsurpassed coverage.
Jane Iredale and Colorescience are
the best makeup lines available on the
market and both are sold in our office.
These make up lines include mineral
foundation, eye shadow, blush, and lip
colors that are safe for all skin types.
WHY DOES A DERMATOLOGIST’S
OFFICE SELL MAKE UP?
There is nothing in our mineral
makeups that will cause irritation or
acne. Mineral makeup is also great for
daily coverage of chronic skin
conditions as well as healthy skin.
However, not all mineral makeup lines
are created equally. Pure mineral
cosmetics are made from concentrated,
undiluted pigments and diffuse light

With over 27 years nursing
experience in chronic illness, a BSN
and an MS degree, we are proud to
have Yvonne and her diverse nursing
background as a resource in our office.
Yvonne has tried many of our
procedures which enables her to better
recommend treatment plans for clients.
She feels that since she is a similar
age to most of our clients, she can relate
to the aging process and the challenges
of aging skin. Yvonne specializes in all
of our laser treatments and our non
invasive tightening procedures, like
Ultherapy. Yvonne's favorite products
are Kinerase Tretinoin (formerly
Atralin) and Neocutis Journee.

Have you been to Sephora lately or any
makeup counter in a department store?
The choices are overwhelming! We
carry makeup because it allows us to
recommend, with confidence, specialty
products for all of our patient’s specific
needs. Having makeup products and a
makeup specialist onsite also allows
patients to schedule procedures and
services during their workday and
return to work fully protected with no
signs of her or his visit.

Cosmetic Dermatologist
Blinc Mascara ($26) is
another favorite of
staff and patients
alike. It does not
‘paint’ your lashes like
traditional mascara,
but coats them in
tubes that slide of
easily with water. This
means no eye make
up remover, no flakey black mess under
your eyes, and no eye irritation.
Protect your investment. If you are
spending
money
on
cosmetic
procedures, you should be using the
best, safest and cleanest cosmetic
products on your facial skin. Of course,
the best cosmetic you can wear is
beautiful skin.
Julia Dougherty, Makeup Specialist,
is available for consultations on
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and
Friday. Call our office to schedule
an appointment at 415/ 292-6350.
Ideally we would love all parts of our
bodies . . . but due to sun damage,
aging, childbearing, or just unfortunate
genetics, most of us have a problem area
that could benefit from skin tightening,
fat reduction, or smoothing of lumpiness
due to cellulite.
I know in my case, I hate my upper arms.
I am tired of searching for dresses with
illusion sleeves and wearing shawls in
100 degree heat at summer weddings! I

The truth is that when we diet or exercise
we lose weight in proportion to how it is
distributed on our bodies. So, unless we
have almost zero body fat, problem areas
stay problem areas. Until now, we have
not had any technologies to efficiently
tighten loose skin over large body parts.

SKIN TIGHTENING AND
FAT R E D U C T I O N
Whether you are slim and just need
tightening or you would like to
tighten and reduce fat, Fractora
Firm Plus is an exciting treatment
that we can tailor to your needs. If
you have loose skin on your arms,
legs, or any body part, we can
perform skin tightening alone with
Fractora Firm Plus. Fractora Firm
Plus can also work for some women
with skin looseness on the stomach
from pregnancy. This procedure is
similar to tightening achieved with
Thermage and Ultherapy, but
finally delivered by a technology
that is quick, cost-effective, and
virtually painless.
With Fractora Firm Plus and a
brand new device called the
TiteFX, we can tighten skin and

reduce fat on the buttocks, inner and
outer thighs, arms, and knees.
Fractora Firm Plus with TiteFX is a
non-invasive beauty breakthrough
that can contour almost any body
part and have you feeling tighter,
lighter, and more confident. Fractora
Firm Plus with TiteFX works by
combining radiofrequency heating
and vacuum massage. When used
correctly, there are few side effects.
It is not painful and requires no pain
medication or sedation.
IF YOU HAVEN’T TRIED
COOLSCULPTING TO REDUCE
U N W A N T E D B O D Y F A T,
IT’S TIME!
We have been performing this
treatment for two years and the
results are undeniable! A safe,
excellent alternative to liposuction
with no downtime and no tight, postcompression garments. Coolsculpting (Zeltiq) can treat back fat, hips,
love handles and the stomach. Men
who just can't get the six pack they
want or want to banish love handles
love it! In special cases, we can also
treat ‘man breasts’. We are now
successfully treating the inner thighs.
Combining Coolscupting with skin
firming is the new gold standard.

Science has once again given us a remarkable new tool to address many common
complaints of aging. Our “new magic wand” is called Fractora Fractional and utilizes
the latest technology by Invasix to improve fine lines and deeper wrinkles, skin tone
and texture, pigmentation irregularities, and skin brightness and luminescence. Yes,
one device to tackle all of these concerns!
Jane Thomas, NP
Nurse Practitioner
What Areas Can be Treated With Fractora Fractional?
While many people will opt to treat their full face, Fractora Fractional treatments can
also be performed on specific facial areas, such as upper eyelids, lower eyelids, upper
lips, or around the mouth. Fractora Fractional treatments can also be done on the
neck, chest, and hands. A series of 3-5 treatments is needed to see results.
Who is the Ideal Patient?
All skin types and shades can benefit, but this
technology is best suited for patients with
etched skin lines who want to improve further
then they have been able to with Botox and
fillers.

Why Should I Choose This Over Fractional Laser

Resurfacing?
Fractora Fractional offers additional skin tightening that we do not see from traditional resurfacing
treatments. It combines the best of the Intense Pulsed Light (Photofacial), non ablative skin tightening
(Thermage, Pelleve, and Ulthera), and fractionated lasers.

For many of us, the cosmetic appearance of our hands gives away our chronological age. Wrinkles, loss of
collagen and fat, brown spots, visible veins, and thinning skin are all signs of ‘old’ hands. So what are your

the visibility of prominent veins and wrinkles. The
treatment costs $800 for a package of three.
Between treatments, use Revision Lumiquin hand treatment. Revision Lumiquin brightens skin, reduces the
appearance of age spots, and provides volumizing and filling effects to minimize the appearance of veins.

DR. WELSH’S FAVORITE BODY PRODUCTS
AND ANTIOXIDANT BODY LOTIONS
For smoother skin texture and prevention of wrinkles and crepey skin - mix a small amount of 0.05% Retin A ($40) with
your body lotion and apply 2-3 times per week. We recommend Topix Green Tea CF Antioxidant Lotion ($37), Neova
Maximum Repair Body Lotion ($42), or SkinMedica TNS Body Lotion ($65).
Please don’t tan for cosmetic reasons! Skin cancer is deadly and overtime the sun makes the skin thinner and more
discolored. One reason it’s so hard to get people not to tan their legs and arms is that a tan hides things, like leg veins
and cellulite. Get the look without the damage. For a healthy glowing tan look without the sun damage try Tan Towels
Full Body Classic or Plus ($28) or Jane Iredale’s Tantasia ($36).
