EYE Love You Enhancers

Even though aging is an inevitable process, we never want our eyes to say we are older than we truly are. There are several factors that cause the eyes to age prematurely, including lifestyle, emotion, sleep patterns and the environment, all of which diminishes a person’s youthful, fresh appearance.

Treat yourself to some extra love this Valentine’s Day with three new ways to say “EYE Love You.” Using one or more of our Eye Love You Enhancers – BOTOX, LATISSE and LUMIERE – you can rest assure your eyes will never reveal your true age.  During February, take advantage of our EYE Love You Specials – see below!

EYE ENHANCER 1: BOTOX

In September 2013, the FDA approved the use of Botox to treat crow’s feet, and Dr. Lupo was the only FDA investigator in Louisiana for the study of this newly approved treatment.  Crow’s feet are created by a variety of factors, but most commonly they are the result of overusing muscles while squinting or smiling. A small amount of Botox injected into the muscle around the eye will prevent the area from wrinkling when facial expressions are made.  The results give the eye area a smoother, younger look.

EYE ENHANCER 2: LATISSE

Longer, thicker lashes frame the eyes making them stand out to look more beautiful and youthful even without makeup.  Latisse is the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes known as hypotrichosis.  Daily applications of Latisse will help eyelashes to grow, making them longer, thicker and darker.

EYE ENHANCER 3: NEOCUTIS LUMIERE

Everyone dreads waking up to find puffy, dark circles around their eyes.  Neocutis Lumiere is our number-one selling eye cream that reduce puffiness, dark circles and even fine lines.  This fragrance-free daily cream hydrates skin with hyaluronic acid, promotes new collagen with growth factors and uses caffeine to tighten and restrict blood vessels.

Allergen Event – October 2013

Restylane Can Help Reverse the Signs of Aging Skin

It’s very likely that most people have heard of the term “hyaluronic acid” even if they aren’t fully aware of what it is or how it relates to their skin.  Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar found in the skin and joints that is responsible for skin turgor (tone and “spring”).  In the aging process, hyaluronic acid decreases because of lifestyle and sun exposure, causing the skin to sink in and form lines, folds and shadows.  These changes sometimes cause the skin to age quicker than the person.  Luckily, there are several FDA approved fillers that can help reverse these signs of aging!

Restylane and Perlane are two of the FDA approved hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers that are available at the Lupo Center for the treatment of facial lines and folds. Restylane was the first HA filler to be approved in the United States in 2003, and Perlane, a larger particle HA filler, was later approved in 2007. Both Restylane and Perlane can be used to re-volumize the nasolabial folds, cheeks, lips and temples.  Restylane can also be used to fill in under-eye hallowing and fine lipstick lines around the mouth when injected with a small needle.

To achieve overall facial rejuvenation without cutting or downtime, it’s best to combine fillers with neuromodulators such as Botox or Dysport or resurfacing lasers such as Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant or Intense Pulse Light. Both Restylane and Perlane are versatile and results in a very natural correction. They can be dissolved if any lumping or an adverse event occurs, making it a very safe and popular alternative for non-surgical rejuvenation. The Lupo Center offers patients the option of Restylane L and Perlane L, which contain lidocaine to decrease any pain during the treatment.

Dr. Lupo trains other physicians on the use of these products at national meetings such as for the American Academy of Dermatology, the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery and the Cosmetic Bootcamp. She has also taught Tulane residents filler techniques since 1984.

During the month of August, if you purchase or pre-purchase a treatment of a Valeant filler – Restylane, Perlane or Sculptra – you will be entered into a drawing for a complimentary treatment of Dysport for yourself and a friend*!

*Each person will receive a complimentary Dysport treatment for two areas (maximum of 120 units).  “Friends” must be new patients to the Lupo Center or have never received Dysport, Botox or Xeomin at the Lupo Center.  Contact our office for more details.

Want a Natural, Younger Look? Juvederm Can Help!

When women and men are interested in reversing the signs of facial aging, the first word or treatment that usually comes to mind is “Botox.” While a Botox treatment is very beneficial for most patients seeking a fresh appearance, it is only half of the solution for overall facial rejuvenation. In order to achieve a natural, younger look, our doctors recommend using a filler to soften lines and wrinkles and to add volume lost through the aging process. One of the most popular fillers at the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology is Juvederm.

Juvederm is an FDA approved hyaluronic acid filler for the treatment of superficial facial lines and folds. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar-like molecules found in the skin and joints. It is responsible for skin’s tone and firmness, and it decreases with age and sun exposure, causing the skin to sink in and look older from the lines, folds and shadows. Juvederm is primary used to correct the nasolabial folds, but it can also be used to re-volumize the cheeks, temples, lips and lipstick lines around the mouth and to fill in under-eye hallowing.

Juvederm’s strength is that it is very soft and results in a very natural correction. Juvederm can be dissolved if any lumping or adverse reactions occur, making it a very safe and popular alternative for non-surgical rejuvenation. When Juvederm is combined with Botox, Dysport or lasers, the aging face can be softly and naturally reshaped without cutting or downtime. Also, layering Juvederm with Sculptra results in a softening of gaunt, tired faces.

Dr. Lupo was an investigator for the FDA study in 2004-2005 that resulted in Juvederm’s approval in the United States, and she helped introduced this filler to Australian physicians in 2007. She often trains other physicians on the use of this product at meetings for the American Academy of Dermatology, the American Society for Dermatological Surgery and the Cosmetic Bootcamp. Dr. Lupo has also taught Tulane residents filler techniques since 1984.

During the month of July, any patient who purchases or pre-purchases two syringes of Juvederm can receive their choice of a FREE 3mL bottle of Latisse or 20 FREE units of Botox. Offer is valid until July 31, 2013 or while supplies last. Patients MUST present the coupon below in order to receive the free product.
