Give Your Valentine a Gift that Shows You Care

Instead of the traditional sweets and flowers, consider giving your Valentine a good sunscreen or sun-protective clothing this Valentine’s Day and asking them to do the same for you.

This month is the perfect time to give gifts that show you love your special Valentine by giving them a skin protectant or anti-aging product. Why is it so important to protect against the sun’s harmful rays? Skin damage, premature aging and skin cancers are the reasons that we all should be keenly aware and proactive about safeguarding our skin.

UVA and UVB rays penetrate our atmosphere on more levels than most of us understand. For example, did you know that just driving in our cars, allows the UVB rays to penetrate through the window and can lead to skin damage or cancer if we don’t wear sunscreen? In Florida, we hopefully are all a little more conscious of applying sunscreen, but did you know it’s critical to reapply it every two hours?

The Woodruff Institute for Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery carries the highest quality skin care products on the market, including powerful sunscreens from Elta MD, which is a broad-spectrum suncare line for all skin types. Elta MD sunscreens block out both UVA and UVB rays. We also offer the stylish line of BloqUV Suncare clothing, which blocks out 98% of the sun’s harmful rays. There is even the very popular TURO Skincare line for men, which includes sunscreen options as well. The beautiful color pallets that are available from Jane Iredale’s mineral cosmetic line are loaded with natural ingredients like zinc and titanium dioxide, which are two of the key components that block out the sun’s harmful rays. Jane Iredale cosmetics are the perfect pairing to enhance your healthy skin’s natural beauty while protecting you from a sunburn or hyperpigmentation.

Along with these anti-aging products, we also offer the most advanced cosmetic dermatology, medical spa services and facial plastic surgery procedures, like injectables (Botox, Dysport & dermal fillers), laser skin resurfacing, IPL, body-sculpting with JuVaShape & TruSculpt, microneedling with Collagen PIN, brow lifts, neck lifts, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), rhinoplasty (nose reconstruction), chin augmentation and much more.

The physicians at the Woodruff Institute for Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery are all board certified with advanced training and expertise, as are the mid-level practitioners (PA’s and nurses).

Meet the Experts: Mohs Surgery

Mohs Surgery is designed to remove skin cancer completely, yet leaving as much normal tissue behind as possible. The Woodruff Institute for Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery offers Southwest Florida patients the benefits of fellowship-trained Mohs Surgeons and a board-certified Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon all under one roof.

Dr. Lambert has been practicing in Southwest Florida since 2004 with her husband, Dr. Jonathan Sonne. Together they founded The Woodruff Institute with the mission of bringing together, under one roof, state-of-the-art facial aesthetics surgery, dermatology, and reconstructive surgery to the people of Southwest Florida. They are dedicated to providing personalized, quality care in an elegant environment.

Holiday Stress

Feeling Guilty About Overeating During the Holidays?

Body sculpting treatments can help you get back into shape and help you feel better about your body. Some areas of our frames are much more resistant to diet and exercise than others. Unfortunately, it may seem that no matter how many crunches, squats or triceps curls we do, a tiny layer of fat that we just can’t seem to shake off conceals our results.

truSculpt

The latest, non-invasive technology in the body sculpting method is truSculpt. The procedure uses RF (radio frequency) technology for shaping the body with a low-level heat that is intelligently controlled for the most effective treatment. The heat is self-regulated in real time depending on the patient’s body temperature. This allows the operator to more successfully treat the areas safely and comfortably.

Because truSculpt is a larger device than most other RF systems, it is able to treat larger areas of the body at once, making the treatment more tolerable and quicker than with older, less advanced technology. It also penetrates deeper within the layers of fat to a tissue depth of 7-14mm compared to older versions of RF, which normally only penetrate to 3mm. This makes the treatments not only more effective, but also with longer lasting results.

Benefits:
* Firms Skin
* Improves laxity & texture
* Reduces cellulite
* Fat reduction
* Little to no down time

A remarkable number of patients are pleasantly surprised with the results provided by truSculpt. The body shaping and fat reduction outcomes that are achieved with this advanced system are able to treat multiple parts of the body, like the stomach, chin, thighs, glutes and back. The typical treatment consists of 1 to 3 procedures over a 4 to 6 week period of time. Patients are finally able to see the results that exercise and dieting alone could not achieve.

The truSculpt Difference:
* Treats larger zones of the body
* Penetrates deep within fat layers
* Uniform temperature distribution
* Safe
* Long lasting results

JuvaShape

JuvaShape is another form of RF (radio frequency) and is a state-of-the-art laser therapy that works in much the same way as truSculpt. It utilizes a unipolar and bipolar mode that warms the skin and heats the fat to penetrate deep tissue depths, and is adjustable depending on the specific areas being treated. JuvaShape helps to tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and also improves the appearance of cellulite.

At The Woodruff Institute for Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, our laser technicians are experts on body sculpting and offer the advanced technology of truSculpt and JuvaShape, along with other options that might be suitable for your personal needs. Our practitioners and medical staff, value each and every one of our patients, and we listen to your needs and answer your questions or concerns honestly, with your genuine well-being in mind.

Cutis Mar Juvederm Volbella 011

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC now available at The Woodruff Institute

Volbella, the newly FDA-approved low concentration hyaluronic acid filler from the Allergen Juvederm family, is now available at The Woodruff Institute for Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery.

Volbella is the newest filler approved by the FDA. Like its cousin, Voluma, Volbella comes from the makers of Botox, and is comprised of cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid, but its defining characteristic is its ultra smooth, ultra fine, and ultra soft consistency, making it an ideal filler for pesky lines around the mouth, aka “smoker’s lines” (although these occur in non-smokers too!), and for those who want a very natural lip rejuvenation.

juvederm_header

We are excited about Volbella for correction of lines around the mouth. In the past this area has been difficult to treat. Now, we have a product that is approved to address this specific patient concern. Volbella provides filling of wrinkles and lines, and shaping of the lips with minimal swelling effect, unlike other fillers on the market where you typically have a few days of swelling before the lips settle down. It is not meant to give you larger lips, but more a better defined, glossing, slight plumping effect, like wearing the best lip gloss you can imagine 24-7.

volbella3

And since Volbella is pre-mixed with Lidocaine, a numbing agent, there is less pain! While there may be some swelling after injection of Volbella it usually lasts from one to two days and bruising tends to be minimal, if not rare. Normal activities can be resumed immediately after treatment.

What is Restylane Silk?
The lips and the lines around the mouth, like other areas of the face, show signs of aging as you get older. This often results in lip thinning, lost shape and an increase in vertical lines above the lip. Restylane Silk is designed specifically to provide natural-looking results in these particular areas by using smaller, smoother hyaluronic acid particles than those used in other Restylane® products.

How does Restylane Lyft Work?
Over time, the natural fat that surrounds the cheeks begins to deteriorate, resulting in sagging skin, more prominent wrinkles and a reduction of volume. Through nonsurgical injections, Restylane Lyft is specifically designed to add fullness to the cheeks and midface area, which can result in a more natural-looking, youthful appearance.

Millennials have Botox “Prejuvenation” Treatments on their Christmas Lists this year!

Millennials keen on preserving their youth are turning to Botox to smooth away hints of creases on their faces before they become more pronounced.

A recent survey of American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery members reported a surge in patients under 30 getting “preventative Botox.” In the U.S. survey, 64 per cent of members reported an increase in millennial patients getting injectable treatments or cosmetic surgery. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reported that Botox treatments for people between the ages of 19 to 34 shot up by 41 per cent between 2011 and 2015. With an image driven culture, millennials who grew up in a culture of social media, want to look their best, which translates into not having wrinkles. Some millennials keen on preserving their youth are turning to Botox to smooth away hints of creases on their faces before they become more pronounced.

The Woodruff Institute for Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery is now offering $200 off when you purchase Botox & Kybella- the new FDA-approved injectable for double chin! Give your favorite millennial a gift certificate or call today to schedule your treatment. 239-498-DERM(3376)
