The Science Behind Nitrogen Plasma Skin Regeneration

Dr. Mariano Busso - Miami Cosmetic Dermatologist, Aesthetic Dermatology Posted on by

Nitrogen Plasma Skin RegenerationAt Dr. Mariano Busso’s Miami aesthetic dermatology clinic, we offer several non-invasive treatment options to repair, rejuvenate, and regenerate skin which may have lost tone, developed wrinkles, or become discolored over time. One of the most exciting recent developments in this area is a safe, effective method of improving skin health and appearance: nitrogen plasma skin regeneration. At our clinic, we offer the most advanced version of this treatment: NeoGen PSR.

What is Nitrogen Plasma?

The intimidating name may obscure the fact that it involves one of nature’s most abundant elements: nitrogen. NeoGen PSR harnesses nitrogen and converts it into plasma energy. Specifically, UHF energy from a generator converts nitrogen gas into plasma within a specialized handpiece. The plasma emerges from the nozzle at the end of the handpiece in controlled pulses and is directed onto the skin to be treated.

Rapid heating of the skin occurs as the excited gas gives up energy to the skin. Results are achieved through controlled heating of the outer layers of the skin which leads to controlled thermal modification to the underlying skin layers.

This ability to penetrate the outermost layer of the skin with the plasma without having to create an open wound or physically damage it allows the surface skin to create a natural dressing to provide protection, reduce the risk of infection, and speed healing. At high energies, the epidermis sheds, but only after a new healthier skin architecture is formed beneath.

What Imperfections and Problems Can Be Addressed With Nitrogen Plasma Skin Regeneration?

NeoGen PSR is an extremely versatile treatment for a range of skin problems and imperfections. This therapy, which can involve multiple 15-30 minute treatment sessions over a two to three week period, is effective at:

  • Reducing superficial and deep wrinkles
  • Removing discoloration, improves skin tone, texture, and elasticity
  • Treating acne scars, benign pigmented lesions, and keratoses
  • Rejuvenating upper and lower eyelids and reducing undereye lines, crow’s feet, dark eye circles, and droopy eyelids
  • Tightening skin and encouraging continued collagen and elastin production for up to a year
  • Treating the whole skin architecture while leaving no islands of untreated skin
  • Creating long-lasting effects through supporting constant regeneration.

How to Protect Skin Against Cold Weather

Dr. Mariano Busso - Miami Cosmetic Dermatologist, Aesthetic Dermatology Posted on by

How to Protect Skin Against Cold WeatherWinter weather is not just uncomfortable, it’s downright damaging. Your skin reacts to the elements. Just as you get a sunburn from failing to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the summertime, facing the cold without protection can damage skin. Most notably, cold weather lacks moisture – a necessary component of skin elasticity, wrinkle-prevention and overall comfort.

Follow these easy prevention tips to minimize winter skin damage:

Apply a Heavy Moisturizer

Hydrating your skin with topical creams is important regardless of what the thermostat says. But, if your routine is already lacking a moisturizing cream, prepare yourself for rough, flaky itchy skin until March. The outdoor air, heavy winds and indoor heating dehydrates your epidermis, allowing the outer layer to crack. You might even suffer from painful cuts and sores on your hands or feet during the winter due to excessive dryness. Using a heavy-duty moisturizer in the winter will continue your fight against fine lines and wrinkles while keeping skin smooth despite the dry air. For extra dry skin prevention, use a soap-free cleanser with a built-in moisturizer on both your face and body. Don’t forget about your lips and hair, either. Lip balm and petroleum jelly can keep the sensitive skin on your lips from chapping while hair oils and deep conditioning treatments fight frizz and breakage.

Cover Yourself

Say goodbye to midriff baring crop tops and your daisy dukes – at least for the next few months. It’s important to cover your skin entirely when the temperature drops. Bare skin is more susceptible to cold, dry air, so cover your arms and legs with long sleeve shirts and pants. Protect your hair and scalp with a scarf or hat. Clothing combined with your moisturizer provides a double barrier against the harsh winter weather. 

Go Fragrance-Free

Individuals suffering with sensitive skin or rosacea can benefit from eliminating added fragrances to their beauty routine. Opt for all-natural soaps and body creams free of fragrance oils on sensitive skin through the cold winter months. Those without pre-existing skin conditions can still use their favorite smelling beauty products. But, minimize use at the first sign of irritation or redness. While these might hydrate your skin and leave you smelling fresh the rest of the year, your skin is particularly sensitive when temperatures are low.

Exfoliate

Regular exfoliation helps rid the skin surface of flakes, bumps and dullness caused by dead cells. Despite the dreary winter weather, you can still achieve a summer-like glow with regular exfoliation. For a more thorough exfoliation, consider a Miami microdermabrasion treatment. Microdermabrasion rejuvenates the skin by gently scrubbing the outer layer, leaving patients with a refreshed and radiant appearance.

We understand how winter weather can wreak havoc on your skin, and our goal is to help you look your best all year long. To schedule a microdermabrasion treatment in Miami or inquire about exfoliating products available at Dr. Busso’s office, contact us at 305-857-0144.

Refresh Your Appearance in Time for Thanksgiving

Dr. Mariano Busso - Miami Cosmetic Dermatologist, Aesthetic Dermatology Posted on by

Refresh Your Appearance in Time for ThanksgivingThanksgiving is less than a month away. Whether you are planning to jet across the country to see family or are hosting a gaggle of your loved ones at your home, there is a lot to do to get ready. You’ll be spending quality time with family, friends, and loved ones you may not see all that often, so you want to create the best impression you can. In addition to preparing a delicious meal, you’ll want to prepare your appearance for when that front door opens.

At Dr. Mariano Busso’s Miami aesthetic dermatology clinic, we offer several quick, safe, and effective treatments that can help you refresh your appearance in time for Thanksgiving. Consider adding one or more of these options into your pre-turkey day planning:

Dermal Fillers

While Botox treatments address lines, wrinkles, and other imperfections by targeting the muscles responsible for causing them, dermal fillers work by plumping facial features to counteract volume loss that is a natural part of aging and a primary cause of wrinkles.

Like Botox, dermal fillers are injected into the skin. Unlike Botox, dermal filler injections tend to address issues in the lower two-thirds of the face, plumping facial features such as the cheeks, lips, chin, and other areas.

Dr. Busso offers a wide array of dermal filler treatments, including:

Dermal fillers typically remain in the skin for six to 18 months. They work by attracting water to the injection site and increasing collagen production at and around the treatment area. In combination with the filler itself, these effects increase the volume of the area under the skin, stretching the skin and thus reducing and fading wrinkles.

Dark Circle Reduction

Chemical peels can be extremely effective at reducing dark circles around the eyes. Chemical peels remove damaged outer layers of skin to reveal fresh, smoother skin which hasn’t been damaged by the sun, wind, or other elements. One of the three main types of chemical peels Dr. Busso administers involves the use of trichloroacetic acid (TCA). TCA peels can rejuvenate the skin below the eyes and reduce the prominence of the dark circles that appear under our eyes as we age.

Hand Rejuvenation

The hand rejuvenation program we offer is a restorative treatment that combines dermal fillers like those discussed above with laser treatments to replace lost volume and improve the overall appearance of your hands. Laser treatments work with the dermal filler to enhance the texture of the skin while minimizing sun spots and other unwanted blemishes.

This gallery shows before and after images of hands after being treated with our hand rejuvenation therapies. As you’ll see, the improvement is impressive, leaving patients with a pair of hands they will be happy to wave for years to come.

Where Does the Fat Go After a Non-Invasive Fat Reduction Treatment?

Dr. Mariano Busso - Miami Cosmetic Dermatologist, Aesthetic Dermatology Posted on by

In recent years, considerable advancements in non-invasive fat reduction treatments have provided those struggling with stubborn fat deposits a practical and attractive alternative to surgery such as liposuction. At Dr. Mariano Busso’s Miami aesthetic dermatology clinic, we offer multiple non-surgical body-sculpting options for those wanting a firmer, more toned body.

These safe and FDA-approved treatments attack fat differently than liposuction does, which means what happens to that fat after these non-invasive procedures are different as well.  With liposuction, the fat is physically removed from the body. If you are so inclined, you can see and wave goodbye to that fat after it has been taken from you and deposited into a receptacle. But non-surgical treatments don’t take fat out of yourbody. They work by killing fat cells internally, which means that while you may not see the fat is reduced, the dead fat cells will make their way out of your body as waste.

The mechanics of each non-invasive procedure will determine how these fat cells meet their demise:

EMSCULPT

EMSCULPT® uses High-Intensity Focused Electro-Magnetic (HIFEM) field technology to induce short bursts of powerful muscle contractions that lead to increased muscle density, decreased volume, better definition, and improved tone. It’s particularly useful on the abdomen and buttocks.

The contractions produced by Emsculpt are stronger, more intense, and more frequent in a short period of time than you could ever accomplish through exercise alone. They are so powerful that the energy needs they create overwhelm the fat cells located next to the muscles in the treatment area. This causes those fat cells to undergo the process of apoptosis (cell death). The dead fat cells are ultimately eliminated and depart the body as waste.

Coolsculpting

As the name implies, coolsculpting uses freezing temperatures to reduce fat on the abdomen, lumbar, hips, inner thighs, knees, saddlebags, arms, and ankles. This process is called cryolipolysis, which selectively targets, freezes and kills fatty tissue without harming the dermis. These dead fat cells then break down, causing the body to treat them as waste and dispose of them accordingly through urine.

VANQUISH

While coolsculpting kills fat cells with cold, Vanquish does so with heat. The treatment uses of multi polar radio frequency technology which induces deep fat tissue heating. Ultimately, this heat in turn permanently kills fat cells while leaving surrounding cells and tissues untouched. Once these fat cells are dead, the body naturally eliminates them through its waste system.

Rosacea: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

Dr. Mariano Busso - Miami Cosmetic Dermatologist, Aesthetic Dermatology Posted on by

RosaceaWhat is Rosacea?

Life is full of embarrassing moments for everyone. That means that most of us at some point have experienced that classic sign of embarrassment: turning a little red in the face. But once that moment passes, your cheeks will return to their normal color no worse for the wear. Unfortunately, for the 14 million Americans who suffer from rosacea, facial redness is a cause of embarrassment, not a symptom. This chronic condition is also uncomfortable, sometimes painful, and a regular and recurring annoyance.

A chronic, inflammatory skin disease that primarily appears on the face, rosacea manifests itself as areas redness and irritation but are clusters of pustules or bumps. The redness which most often develops on the nose and cheeks can also appear on the forehead, chin, ears, chest, and back.

While fair-skinned individuals are historically associated with and more prone to rosacea, the condition affects people of all skin tones.

Rosacea Causes

Researchers are still trying to determine the causes of rosacea, but there is little doubt that genetic predisposition plays a role, as it does for many other chronic skin conditions. Additional reasons can include:

  • Abnormalities in blood vessels
  • Demodex folliculorum, a usually harmless microscopic mite
  • H. pylori bacteria, a bacteria found in the gut, produce proteins that cause blood vessels to dilate.
  • Cathelicidin, a protein that usually protects the skin from infection, may cause and contribute to the redness and swelling. 

Rosacea Symptoms

Rosacea often appears first as a tendency to blush or flush more easily than others. That redness may ultimately become permanent. While redness and irritation are the most prominent and common symptoms of rosacea, other more serious problems can develop with certain types of the condition. There are four primary subtypes of the disease, each of which causes problems:

  • Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea: Redness, flushing, visible blood vessels.
  • Papulopustular rosacea: Redness, swelling, and acne-like breakouts.
  • Phymatous rosacea: Thicker skin and a bumpy texture.
  • Ocular rosacea: Red and irritated eyes, swollen eyelids, and the appearance of a sty.

Rosacea Management and Treatment

Miami dermatologist Dr. Mariano Busso recommends the following for those trying to reduce and minimize the appearance and discomfort of rosacea:

  • For many people, caffeine, red wine, spicy foods, and hot beverages can cause rosacea flare-ups. Avoid those foods and drinks which flare your rosacea.
  • Extreme hot or cold temperatures or wind often aggravate rosacea. Avoid overheating and make sure to protect your skin from the wind.
  • Avoid wool scarfs or those made of rough fabrics that tend to irritate the neck and face.
  • Since sun exposure can flare rosacea, use broad-spectrum sunscreens with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 and which contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, as these ingredients are the least irritating.
  • Avoid rubbing, scrubbing, or massaging your face too often or too vigorously.
  • Keep your skin care routine simple. The fewer products you use, the better. When using hairspray, cover your skin so the spray doesn’t get on your face.

Laser Hair Removal – What to Expect

Dr. Mariano Busso - Miami Cosmetic Dermatologist, Aesthetic Dermatology Posted on by

laser hair removalAt Dr. Mariano Busso’s Miami-Coconut Grove aesthetic dermatology clinic, we have been using safe, controlled, and precisely calibrated laser light for years to address a range of conditions. These include laser skin tightening, laser toenail fungus treatment, and laser skin rejuvenation procedures, for example. But the most popular and long-standing use of lasers in cosmetic treatment is hair removal.

Laser hair removal is a safe, effective, and permanent solution to unwanted hair. The short duration of the treatments will pale in comparison to the hours upon hours you will save throughout the rest of your life no longer needing to shave, epilate or apply removal creams as much as you used to. After a few treatments, shaving and epilating become easier since there are fewer strands to target.

Hair Removal Using The Ellipse Laser

While laser hair removal has been around for a while, advances in technology have made treatment faster and more comfortable. At our clinic, we prefer using the Ellipse Laser for hair removal, an innovative tool which provides the quickest application on the market.

The Ellipse system consumes less energy and targets more hairs than the Intense Pulsated Light (IPL) systems used at many commercial or spa hair removal facilities.
Because the laser has a larger surface, the treatment time is significantly reduced. The Ellipse Laser can be used for hair removal on the face, armpits, legs, bikini line, chest, and back.

Multiple Treatments But Minimal Discomfort

Many people considering laser hair removal may be reluctant to undergo treatment because they fear that it will be a painful experience. One of the benefits of the Ellipse Laser is that it is relatively pain-free compared to other laser hair removal treatments. Before the procedure, we apply a thin layer of gel (similar to ultrasound gel) to the treatment area which helps maximize the amount of light entering your skin. We then gently press the Ellipse applicator against the skin, releasing a controlled pulse of light.

Since the Ellipse Laser can target a large number of hairs in one flash of light, the duration of each treatment is short. Hair removal on the upper lip takes approximately one minute, while removing hair from the back and legs may last 10-20 minutes for each session.

To allow the skin and follicles to rest, procedures are typically performed four to six weeks apart. After just three sessions, the average patient may see up to a 50 reduction in the amount of hair in the treatment area, with up to an 80 percent reduction after six to eight treatments. Some studies have shown that 77 percent of treated hair doesn’t grow back after a decade.

5 Most Common Skin Conditions

Dr. Mariano Busso - Miami Cosmetic Dermatologist, Aesthetic Dermatology Posted on by

Skin conditionsMuch of what we do here at Dr. Mariano Busso’s Miami-Coconut Grove aesthetic dermatology clinic is focused on improving appearance and addressing skin imperfections. Many of these imperfections and issues – like wrinkles, lines, and sagging skin – are part of the natural aging process or the result of environmental factors, and we can help turn back the hands of time with a wide array of procedures and treatments. But many of the dermatological problems we help with are chronic medical conditions which can not only leave patients feeling less than beautiful but can be uncomfortable or painful as well.

Here are five of the most common skin conditions which bring people to our clinic for treatment:

Acne

Acne breakouts are caused by the sebaceous glands in your skin which secrete an oily or waxy substance, called sebum, which lubricates and waterproofs the skin and hair.

Sometimes things go wrong, however, and the blockage of a hair follicle prevents sebum from leaving the skin. This can cause bacteria to grow below the skin surface which can, in turn, cause blemishes, blackheads, and breakouts, all of which fall under the troublesome label of acne. While most commonly experienced and associated with the teenage years, acne can affect people of any age.

Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that mostly affects the face. From a distance, rosacea appears as red splotches. Up close, however, rosacea is a cluster of pustules or bumps. Some people even experience sores that look like blisters or acne and may also have a red nose or a burning sensation on the skin. Around 14 million Americans suffer from rosacea.

Psoriasis

People living with Psoriasis typically experience red, itchy, and scaly patches on their skin. This condition, usually caused by genetics, is not contagious but it is extremely common.

Eczema

Also known as Atopic Dermatitis, eczema is a skin condition which can cause a red, itchy rash. Psoriasis may also cause thinning or balding when it develops near the scalp. According to the National Eczema Foundation, an estimated 30 million Americans live with this chronic condition.

Dandruff

There is a reason there is such a big market for dandruff shampoos. Dandruff, or seborrheic dermatitis, is a widespread and embarrassing skin condition experienced by both young children and adults. Genetics, stress, dry weather, and certain types of skin-based yeast may all play a role in the development of dandruff.

Call Dr. Busso Today to Learn About Our Solutions for Your Skin Problems

The good news about all of these conditions is that while they may not be curable, they are treatable. With medication and other strategies implemented in consultation with an experienced dermatologist, the prominence and impact of these disorders can be dramatically minimized.

Dr. Mariano Busso is a worldwide leader and innovator in the treatment of these skin conditions and the dermatological techniques which can improve appearance, self-esteem, and quality of life. Call our Miami-Coconut Grove clinic today at 305-857-0144 to schedule your consultation.

How to Get Rid of a Double Chin

Dr. Mariano Busso - Miami Cosmetic Dermatologist, Aesthetic Dermatology Posted on by

kybellaLike a houseguest who just won’t leave no matter how many hints you make, a double chin can stick around no matter how much you exercise or how healthy your diet is. Many of us develop this common and frustrating imperfection as we age. Stubborn fat below the chin – called submental fat – is usually a matter of genetics, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do anything about it. You can get rid of that double chin of yours  – without surgery or liposuction – and we can help.

Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2015, Kybella is a revolutionary, proven, safe, and non-invasive treatment that dramatically improves the profile and appearance of moderate to severe accumulation of submental fat below the skin. Our own Dr. Mariano Busso was among the first physicians in the United States to introduce Kybella to patients and has treated of hundreds of patients, creating outstanding results and leaving patients with dramatically improved profiles.

What is Kybella and How Does It Get Rid of a Double Chin?

Deoxycholic acid is a natural compound found in human bile which helps break down fat by destroying the membranes of fat cells. Kybella is a synthetic version of this fat-killing compound which works to destroy subcutaneous fat cells under the chin. In the digestive tract, deoxycholic acid kills fat cells which our bodies naturally eliminate over several weeks while surrounding tissues remain unaffected. The Kybella injected under the chin also follows the same path out of the body, getting metabolized and ultimately eliminated as waste.

Kybella Treatment

As noted, Kybella is injected under the chin. How many treatments and injections you will undergo depends on the quantity of submental fat you want to lose and the chin profile you desire. One to five treatment sessions, each five to ten minutes long and usually spaced a month or so apart, are typically required. Each session involves the injection of one to two vials of Kybella.

The most common minor side effects some patients experience after a Kybella injection include temporary swelling,  numbness, pain, redness, bruising, and areas of hardness in the treatment area. Any such side effects will typically peak a day after the treatment but can last from two days to three weeks.

Since Kybella completely kills fat cells, the effects of the treatment should be permanent. Patients typically do not require retreatment, and many patients see visible contouring after just two sessions.

BodySculpting for Men: EMSCULPT®

Dr. Mariano Busso - Miami Cosmetic Dermatologist, Aesthetic Dermatology Posted on by

emsculptAsk ten men which feature of their physique they’d most like to improve and odds are at least eight of them will say their gut. Keeping abs tight and toned and preventing an expanding waist and growing belly is an ongoing fight for many men, one fought with sit-ups, crunches, and other exercises. It is all part of an effort to build muscles and burn fat in the abdomen. Even if you aren’t obsessed with getting a “six-pack,” you may want to improve the appearance of your abs. Fortunately, a new and revolutionary weapon – EMSCULPT® – is now available to help men get the abs they want.

Dr. Mariano Busso’s Miami-Coconut Grove aesthetic dermatology clinic was the first clinic in Florida to offer this safe, effective, non-invasive treatment which attacks fat and strengthens muscles in the midsection simultaneously. It is the first and only procedure to offer men such a comprehensive way to transform their abs. Dr. Mariano Busso was a leading member of BTL Aesthetics’ EMSCULPT development team and uses this treatment effectively and regularly with powerful and noticeable results.

How Does EMSCULPT Create Stronger, Leaner Abs?

Using High-Intensity Focused Electro-Magnetic (HIFEM) field technology to induce short bursts of powerful muscle contractions, EMSCULPT increases muscle density, decreases volume, creates better definition, and improves the tone of the abdomen.

The non-invasive HIFEM® technology works by inducing supramaximal muscle contractions that voluntary contractions can’t achieve. When exposed to these supramaximal contractions, the muscles in the abdomen must adapt to such extreme conditions. They do so by remodeling their inner structure, and in doing so, build muscle and burn fat. Studies suggest that EMSCULPT can decrease abdominal fat by 19% and increase abdominal muscle mass by 16%

EMSCULPT is an attractive treatment option for men who have a BMI of less than 25 who may not be good candidates for other fat reduction treatments. Painless and quick, EMSCULPT treatments take approximately 30 minutes and can be added or stacked onto other procedures such as CoolSculpting to give men the tight, firm abs they want.

The Four Essential Steps of a Hydrafacial

Dr. Mariano Busso - Miami Cosmetic Dermatologist, Aesthetic Dermatology Posted on by

hydrafacialHydraFacial is an innovative and safe multi-step skin treatment that quickly and effective brightens the skin and rids it of dead skin cells and impurities. At the same time, the treatment hydrates and moisturizes skin with cleansing serums made with nourishing ingredients that create an instantly gratifying glow. The treatment is fast, soothing, refreshing, non-irritating and produces immediately visible results. It’s the perfect way to instantly improve your appearance.

The HydraFacial treatment we offer at Dr. Mariano Busso’s Miami-Coconut Grove aesthetic dermatology clinic involves four essential steps which together can minimize noticeable fine lines and visible pores, improve the texture and firmness of your skin, and reduce the appearance of blackheads and other skin imperfections:

  • Step One: Cleansing the skin with cool, fortified water that not only gets rid of impurities and pollutants but also creates a gentle, relaxing feeling more akin to a spa treatment that a cosmetic procedure.
  • Step Two: Exfoliation of dead or damaged skin in a HydraFacial treatment (called Hydra-dermabrasion) is much less harsh than the equivalent processes of chemical peels or microdermabrasion but equally effective at clearing away the layers and substances that stand between you and healthier-looking skin.
  • Step Three: After exfoliation, the technician will extract the remaining impurities from your skin and pores. Instead of performing manual extractions, they will use a device called a vortex-extraction nozzle that acts as a vacuum. If you are so inclined, you’ll be able to see just how much is being extracted as it is collected. At once, this demonstrates just how effective the treatment is and how much you needed it.
  • Step Four: Finally, an antioxidant-and-collagen-rich serum is gently infused into your skin to promote elasticity and hydration, reduce inflammation, reverse skin damage, and strengthen and enhance the skin’s collagen fibers and enzyme systems.

These four essential steps can be complemented by personally tailored extras designed to address specific concerns or issues. This includes the following:

  • Brightalive Boost minimizes the appearance of discoloration and brightens skin tone for an instantly gratifying glow.
  • Growth Factor Boost minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to restore skin health and vitality.
  • Dermabuilder Boost minimizes signs of aging and recharges skin with a patented combination of peptides.
  • Britenol Boost minimizes the appearance of dark spots and sun spots for an even complexion.
