Happy, Healthy & Hydrated

John H. Phillips III, MD

Winter may come with a reprieve from the heat, but with the cooler temperatures comes the occurrence of dry skin. Skin lacking hydration can leave you feeling itchy and your complexion looking dull.

While seasons can’t stay year-round, the glowing, dewy skin of summer can be achieved through hydration treatments at Dermatology Specialists of Florida & Aqua Medical Spa. Skinvive by Juvederm and DiamondGlow are two of their most popular treatment options.

No matter the time of year, as we age, our skin loses hyaluronic acid, which is key for smooth, hydrated skin. Skinvive by Juvederm utilizes a modified form of hyaluronic acid that is injected as micro droplets below the skin’s surface to revive hydration and smoothness.

There are hyaluronic acids that can be administered topically, but because Skinvive is injected into the dermal layer, results are instant and can last up to six months. 

“Most patients come in with dull, dry skin and fine lines due to aging that are not being improved by topical products,” says Dr. John Phillips of Dermatology Specialists. “This is unique in that it instantly restores youthfulness.”

Injections are typically administered into the cheeks and corners of the mouth with very small needles administering
20 to 30 injections over a 10–15-minute period. There’s no downtime, and patients can proceed with their day following the treatment.

If you’re in the mood or market for a facial, DiamondGlow is a unique facial treatment that exfoliates, extracts, and infuses to treat a variety of skin conditions and concerns, including acne, wrinkles, dry skin, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, stretch marks, and age spots.

Using an exfoliating diamond head equipped with both suction and infusion technologies the treatment immediately plumps, brightens, and rejuvenates through professional-grade SkinMedica Pro-Infusion Serums.

This noninvasive treatment with no downtime can be performed on the face, neck, lips, and around the eyes, and is safe for all skin types, tones, and textures. DiamondGlow can be administered once or twice a month.

“The beauty of a DiamondGlow facial is that results are noticeable just after one treatment,” says licensed aesthetician, Kaleigh Samala with Dermatology Specialists Aqua Medical Spa. “Results are immediate and long lasting, delivering a wow-factor to the skin. Even better, you’ll see continued improvement with each treatment.”

When you meet with a licensed doctor or aesthetician, they will advise you on the right hydration plan for you be it a treatment, facial, or product.
