Three Cosmetic Procedures You Can Not Live Without

Dr. Lloyd:       I’m Dr. Amanda Lloyd and I am a board-certified dermatologist and we are going to talk about the three procedures that Ms. Earth and I cannot live without.

Ms. Earth: I could not agree more. I’m Corrine Devin the 2018 current reigning Ms. Earth and I am so excited because I have had each of these procedures done and let me tell you, they have shaved years off my skin. They have fooled the gene pool and as a girl who is blond-haired and blue eyed with very fair skinned, these procedures have not only made my skin healthier but also provide more youthful.

Dr. Lloyd:       So, the first procedure that I recommended for pretty much everybody since there is really no one that it is contraindicated for, is the Clear and Brilliant with Laser Genesis. This is great because it builds collagen.

Ms. Earth: Okay

Dr. Lloyd:       And that helps to decrease fine lines and wrinkles.

Ms. Earth:       Yay for that!

Dr. Lloyd:       Exactly, it does it in two layers the Clear and Brilliant does the superficial cleaning of the pores, toning the skin, and the Laser Genesis goes deeper building collagen to decrease those fine lines and wrinkles.

Ms. Earth:       I think that’s great! Clear and Brilliant. Who doesn’t like that with skin, with food, with traveling. Actually, guys believe it or not, I had Clear and Brilliant done last week, right before I went to a conference and I’ve got to tell you, no one even knew. I mean I left with a sun-kissed glow and then the next day I put on makeup and I just went about my business. So, as a very busy working woman, constantly on the go, to me this has been awesome. I have even done this before, I hopped on an airplane. So, she is absolutely right! I mean, who doesn’t love having that youthful, plump, glow. It’s like I got back from vacation from Bali or Tahiti except I came back with better skin and no sunburn.

Dr. Lloyd:       Exactly it’s a great laser, there is no downtime, it’s relatively painless and it’s easy to have done. It takes about an hour and a half here in the office, that includes numbing time and treatment, you’re out the and you’re a little bit red for like 30 minutes and then you’ve got this beautiful glow to your skin and you’ve built collagen! You have helped keep your skin healthy.

Ms. Earth:       Oh, my gosh! Fast, effective, easy, absolutely I can’t wait for next one next month.

Dr. Lloyd:       The second procedure that we can’t live without is the Excel V Laser. Now this laser is fantastic because it treats red and brown.

Ms. Earth:       Oh, yay for that! Oh, my goodness red and brown. So, what do you mean by red and brown? Are you talking about spots? Can you tell us a little bit more Dr. Lloyd?

Dr. Lloyd:       Most definitely! So, we are talking about red spots, little red vessels on the skin and then the brown spots from the sun. You know we live in sunny Southern California we get lots of sun; we get lots of red and lots of brown spots. There are studies that show when your face has lots of red and brown spots or your body or wherever, you look older than if your face is clear and has no red and brown. So, the Excel V is definitely something to have done to help clear up your complexion and give you that nice youthful glow.

Ms. Earth:       Well, I like to think of it as the Excellent Laser because for me and my family we have red spots—so thank you genetics! But also, thank you Dr. Lloyd because those are becoming a thing of the past thanks to Excel V.

Dr. Lloyd:       Yes.

Ms. Earth:       I can personally attest, you’re right. When I see people’s faces with red dots and brown spots everywhere it really does add years to their age—it adds years to the face. I get it we all want to look very distinguished, but let’s be honest if this is something we can change, why not? Who doesn’t love that beautiful porcelain skin? Let’s be honest, we still want to live our lives we still want to go outside and have adventures and it is nice to know that maybe, when we’re not so good at wearing our sunscreen, and now that we’re older we have a way to have remediation for that.

Dr. Lloyd:       Yes, it helps to reverse the changes of time a little bit more effectively than topical creams or moisturizers. Things you can do topically which do help maintain things but if you need a little more “oomph” the Excel V does a great job at helping to reverse the clock and get rid of some of those spots you’ve accumulated over time.

Ms. Earth:       That is great. Redemption absolutely is what this laser had done for me and I can personally attest. To me, I am so glad that this laser exists and if they ever come back, I know exactly which laser is going to take care of it.

Dr. Lloyd:       Exactly.

Dr. Lloyd:       So, the third product that we cannot live without and I think this one is actually my favorite is Botox. Botox works by relaxing the muscles so that the skin can recover which gets rid of those fine lines and wrinkles that we really don’t want.

Ms. Earth:       Oh, my gosh that sounds amazing! But Dr. Lloyd where do most people get Botox done? Like where do you find that a lot of your clients find that Botox makes a huge difference?

Dr. Lloyd:       Everybody gets wrinkles a little bit differently, but some of the main areas are the frown lines here, the forehead lines, and the crow’s feet.

Ms. Earth:       Okay, so right here.

Dr. Lloyd:       Those are the main 3 areas. For me, I get the forehead lines and I cannot stand them! I just keep my Botox there; my forehead moves a little bit but not too much and I have no lines, which is fantastic.

Ms. Earth:       You know, I’ve got to tell you guys, I personally was a little scared about getting Botox because I feel that, it sometimes gets a bad rep, people think you look a little too done—but for me if it is done right and it’s done by a board-certified dermatologist—

Dr. Lloyd:       Definitely.

Ms. Earth:       —the difference is that imagine that you woke up after 8 hours of sleep, your skin is rested it look refreshed. So, for me, people think you have really great skin and little do they know that a little bit of Botox goes a long way.

Dr. Lloyd:       Definitely.

Ms. Earth:       So, for me, it’s more of just looking like you have got great skin like you got the genetics that maybe you didn’t have. It is something that makes you look more rested over time, so for me, I totally agree. It is a game changer; it has definitely made me not only look good but feel good.

Dr. Lloyd:       Yes

Ms. Earth:       We all need that self-confidence.

Dr. Lloyd:       Right.

Ms. Earth:       I totally agree with you; Botox has definitely done that.

Dr. Lloyd:       The one additional benefit to Botox that we didn’t talk about it is that it also helps to prevent wrinkles! If you have wrinkles already, it does fantastic at relaxing the skin, so the skin can recover and the wrinkles go away.

Ms. Earth:       Oh, fantastic!

Dr. Lloyd:       But if you don’t have wrinkles in a certain area, or at all, you can use a small amount of Botox to give yourself that refreshed relaxed look and prevent wrinkles from coming.

Ms. Earth:       Oh, my gosh, prevention and correction—

Dr. Lloyd:       Yes

Ms. Earth:       —just from one product? That is just amazing!
