INTRODUCING ACCENT® XL, THE NEW SOLUTION FOR SKIN TIGHTENING
In recent months, there have been many articles in peer-reviewed dermatology journals describing the advantages of this new addition to the non-surgical skin tightening and cellulite reduction repertoire of treatments. Because of these favorable reviews, we decided to add Accent® XL to our menu of cosmetic procedures.
Accent® XL provides improvements in the skin laxity, texture, and firmness. The treatments are comfortable and there is absolutely no downtime. This dual Radio Frequency device works by delivering therapeutic deep dermal and sub dermal heating, stimulating the body’s ability to remodel collagen and thus tightening the skin. Accent® XL can be used almost anywhere on the body with 4 to 6 treatments recommended every 2 weeks. The patients can return to their regular activities following each treatment. The treatment takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes and feels like a warm massage. An infrared thermometer monitors the temperature of the skin during the procedure. Please call our office at 301.656.SKIN to schedule a consultation and learn more about this amazing new technology!
SKIN CANCER, WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer during his or her lifetime.
The American Cancer Society recommends routine professional skin examinations every three years for people ages 20-40 and yearly for anyone over 40. Those with the history of skin cancer or abnormal moles need more frequent skin exams. Dr. Sommerville offers total body skin cancer screening examinations and, when necessary, performs biopsies and removals of suspicious moles and growths right in the office under local anesthesia.
