We are happy to introduce our latest in sun protection: EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46! With ingredients such as Micronized Zinc Oxide and Vitamin B3, the SPF 46 makes for a unique sunscreen that not only calms and protects sensitive, acne-prone skin but also helps reduce the appearance of blemishes, discoloration, and photo-damaged skin. Ideal for daily use, this sunscreen is oil free, fragrance-free, and extremely lightweight.

We are very happy to announce that two of our favorite PCA treatments, that we offer here at Chevy Chase Facial Plastic Surgery, have been awarded for the 2011 Les Nouvelles Esthetiques & Spa’s Best Awards! Our PCA acne gel recieved an award for “best acne treatment” and our PCA Sensi Peel won the award for “best peel”, both featured in the February 2011 issue. Treatments like these are a great reflection of our mission; Dr. Porter is dedicated to providing quality services and products for effective results.

They call it the “date” peel or the special event peel.  We call it the peel that gives you that glow. The Illuminize Peel® is a very gentle peel that tightens the skin, improves overall skin tone and texture, and creates a natural glow. Walk out looking fresh and ready to go with no visible signs of peeling!

People know how to perfect their skin this winter…and they’re hurrying in!

Intense Pulsed Light (or IPL) is a great way to banish those skin problems that just won’t go away.  You’ve tried the peels, the creams and the serums, and none of them have worked…or at least, not as well as you’ve hoped.  Now is the perfect time to give IPL a try!  Whether you are concerned with acne scars, wrinkles or sun damage, large pores, age spots or rosacea, we can help you with IPL.  Treatments last 15-45 minutes, depending on what you are targeting, and you can usually go back to work the next day…although, we all love an excuse to take a long weekend!
