Recently, some of our staff attended an Obagi Regional Training Seminar in Virginia.  It was a very useful and informative seminar, expanding on our already current knowledge of the Obagi line of skincare products.  One of the tips and tricks we learned was that you can get fabulous results with the winning combination of Elastiderm Eye Cream and Botox® Cosmetic.  When these products are used together in the forehead and eye areas, they give that extra tightening to the upper eyelids that so many of us are trying to achieve!  Yet another way to look younger and more rested!

All of us here at Chevy Chase Facial Plastic Surgery hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July weekend!  Don’t forget to come in this month to take advantage of our 10% off special on sunscreen and our July Botox Day on Monday, the 14th. We look forward to hearing from you, soon.

You know how they say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?  Well the same goes for your skin!  How you treat your skin now will affect how you look in 5, 10, and 20 years from now.  With that in mind, here are some ways to ensure your skin looks radiant as you age:

• Use the right skincare!  Make an appointment with our aesthetician to have a skin evaluation and have her prescribe the best skincare regime for you and your skin concerns.
• Think Botox.  Starting to use Botox before lines and wrinkles become too apparent can actually help prevent deeper lines from forming.  In a recent study of identical twins, it was found that the twin who had Botox treatments over the course of 13 years did not have evident forehead lines, while the untreated twin did have evident forehead lines.  Prevention is key!
• Reverse your sun damage. IPL treatments can significantly reduce dark spots, freckles and sun damage that have been caused by the summer sun.
• And of course, don’t forget the sunscreen!

For all of you out there who want to increase the effectiveness of your skincare, here’s a special treat for you!  During the month of June, you can receive a Chemical Peel or Microderm with our wonderful aesthetician, Shana, for $25 off!  Call to schedule an appointment, print out the coupon and come on in!
