Allumera Reduces the Appearance of Pores!


Photocure Launches Allumera® a New, Dynamic Cosmetic for Achieving Timeless Skin

PRINCETON, N.J., June 20, 2011
Photocure announced today the commercial launch of Allumera in the US. Allumera is the first Photodynamic Cosmetic specifically formulated to improve the overall appearance of skin, reduce outward signs of aging and minimize the appearance of pores without the downtime of more aggressive procedures and results that last. Allumera provides patients with a non-invasive method for improving the overall appearance of their skin.

Look Your Best At Any Age

A large consumer study was completed in the US. In a survey of study participants conducted three months after the last Allumera cosmetic treatment, the majority of women reported:

• Their skin looked and felt more radiant.

• Their skin felt better hydrated and smoother.

• Their skin felt revitalized, younger-looking and more beautiful.

• They would recommend Allumera to a friend.

Additionally, participants who received three Allumera cosmetic treatments experienced a 44% reduction in the appearance of pores, three months after the last treatment.
After Allumera application, it is recommended that patients protect exposed skin from direct sun contact for 48 hours. Some patients may experience mild redness, slight swelling or dryness, which typically disappears within two days.

Cosmetic Laser MD will be offering Allumera treatment shortly. Call 973-716-9000 for more information.

Getting Back Your Pre-Baby Body

Stretch marks, so many of us have them and few of us know what to do about them or how to get rid of them. Stretch marks are those fine, often silvery lines that result from over stretching the skin. When the skin is pulled too rapidly, from growth or weight gain, a stretch mark can occur. Pregnancy stretch marks can be a particular burden to new mothers.



For most women, stretch marks are an unfortunate side effect of pregnancy. Despite all of the advances doctors have made over the past few decades, there's still no surefire way to prevent them; likewise, there's nothing you can do to get rid of them completely.

However, you can fade their appearance and shrink their width with eMatrix™! eMatrix™ helps your body create new collagen. Stretch marks form partially because they've lost healthy collagen and eMatrix™ can help restore that.

Retinol: The number one product that conquers aging.

So what is RETINOL?

According to WebMd, Retinol, (pronounced ret'i-nol) is:

A half-carotene; an intermediate in the vision cycle, it also plays a role in growth and differentiation. Syn: vitamin A1 alcohol, vitamin A1.

Vitamin A is a vitamin required by the retina of the eye in the form of the light-absorbing molecule retinal. This molecule is crucial for both scotopic and color vision. However, Vitamin A(Retinol) also serves a completely different function as the oxidized form Retinoic Acid, an important hormone-like growth factor for epithelial (skin) and other cells.†

According to New Beauty Magazine, Retinol is the secret to perfect skin. Vitamin A helps skin produce collagen, a natural component of the skin that gives the dermis a youthful, full appearance. Retinol reduces the look wrinkles by renewing skin cells in the dermis and epidermis and increasing the skin's elasticity. Physicians and aestheticians agree that this miracle ingredient has to power to make skin look younger, smoother and simply better.

Retinol is also often used to fight acne and reduce the signs of sun damage by speeding up the turnover of skin cells. Don't confuse medical-grade retinol with the over-the-counter products found in drugstores. Retinols founds in a physician's office offer an excellent opportunity to improve your skin without the dryness and irritation that occurs with retin-A. Retinols are available in several formulations and also are often blended with other beneficial skincare ingredients to increase the results obtained from these products. Depending on the formulation of the products and the strength used, these products are safe and effective for most skin types including sensitive skin.

Our Dr. Tanne Skincare line offers several Retinol products to our patients.

Retinol Serum is available in 4 strengths which can treat sensitive, normal and tolerant skin. Ingredients include:
Retinol- which is pure and active vitamin A - it works to increase cell turnover and exfoliation by stimulating cell production underneath the skin. Skin appears softer and smoother, and will help even out skin tone.
Green tea- which have potent anti-oxidant properties as well as anti-inflammatory and calming effect on the skin, and helps prevent skin irritation.
Caffeine- which enhances the antioxidant properties of the skin and acts as a topical vasoconstrictor.
Hyaluronic Acid- which aids in skin hydration

Clear It Up Retinol Toner Pads- An excellent product for oilier and acne prone skin that is in need of smoothing, clearing, and renewing. Clear It Up is also available in four strengths allowing treatment to be formulated for each patients needs. The pads not only resurface the skin, but also fortify and protect it with antioxidants. This product contains the same retinol as in our serum along with green tea, and caffeine, but does not contain the hydrating hyaluronic acid. This product is used nightly or every other night on clean skin as directed by our skincare professionals.

RejuvaEye Retinol Eye Gel - This is the first product that Dr. Tanne has personally used in the eye area that has the excellent benefits of retinol without the dryness and irritation that this delicate skin is prone to with other products. This unique moisturizing retinol product in an emollient gel, which allows for a sustained release of retinol, thereby reducing skin irritation.

We recommend the use of retinol nightly or every other night, depending on your skin and the condition being treated. As always, we are happy to formulate a skincare regimen for you and your specific skincare needs.

Face the Facts About Sun Exposure

Let's face it.
Prolonged exposure to the sun will lead to premature aging of the skin, wrinkles, discoloration, and even skin cancer. Even worse: The use of tanning beds! In July 2009, The World Health Organization (WHO) declared ultraviolet (UV) radiation from tanning machines one of THE most dangerous forms of cancer-causing radiation. Risk of Melanoma is increased 75% when tanning bed use starts before age 35. A good sunscreen  - such as our outstanding Solar Protection products - to protect your skin from the ultraviolet rays is a must! Basal Cell is the most common kind of skin cancer, and the one directly related to cumulative effects of exposure to sunlight. These unsightly lesions can even appear up to 20 years after overexposure to sunlight. Even one sunburn can increase risk significantly. That is why we urge constant protection from the sun no matter what your skin tone is. Ask us about the best sunscreen for your skin.

What can I do to treat my sun damage?
Topical Tools: Revolutionary changes in formulas and technologies have now allowed for products that will literally change the appearance of your skin, beyond what you thought possible from a jar! Ask Dr. Tanne, Ginnie, our Skin Care Specialist or Meaghan our Licensed Aesthetician, what will work for you!

Seeing Eye to Eye

Advanced Facial Sculpting: Beyond Filling Lines

Advances in filler technology have enabled aesthetic physicians to greatly change the way they treat patients. At Cosmetic Laser MD in Livingston, New Jersey, Susan Stevens Tanne, M.D. uses volumizing fillers such as Radiesse and Juvederm Ultra Plus to move facial structures such as cheeks and jaws. “Juvederm Ultra can augment the hollow under the eyes and the lips,’” says Dr. Tanne.
The nasolabial fold (the crease the extends from the corner of the nose to the mouth) forms not from the lack of soft tissue in this area, but rather from MID FACE DESCENT - that slow march south of the mid face that begins in one’s 20’s when bone loss and drooping of the fat pads combine with skin laxity to allow the face to drift downwards. The result of this is a line that deepens into the nasolabial crease.
While some filling of the crease will help improve this, much of the nasolabial crease can be corrected by injecting filler into the upper cheek. By using structural and volumizing fillers, a true “face lift” can be attained.
“Injections to lift the face are among the best uses of fillers that I can offer to my patients. Don’t allow yourself to be treated by someone still trapped in the “line filling” approach,” says Dr. Tanne.
Filler injections into some other areas also help reverse the signs of aging, and only need a small amount of product for great results. For instance, filler injected into the earlobes will correct the creases that form in the ear lobe and the sagging that occurs. Filler will easily reverse this. The replaced volume frequently provides dramatic result. The nose is an area that droops with aging. Small amounts of injected filer will give a “lift to this area”. The back of the hands are another area that shows signs of aging. Volume correction gets rid of the “bony and veiny” appearance of this area. The use of laser photorejuvenation to eliminate brown spots, and fractional resurfacing to improve the texture of the skin, completes the rejuvenation of this area.
As new techniques and products become available, the art of using injectable fillers is being elevated beyond what some may regard as mere “spackling”.
For a complimentary consultation to determine whether treatment with injectable fillers can benefit you, please contact Cosmetic laser MD of Livingston, New Jersey at 973.716.9000 or info@cosmeticlasermd.com.
