Using a variable-level vacuum and an assortment of treatment tips, the DermaSweep wand gently lifts the skin against the appropriate treatment tip, removing the topmost layer of skin. Your skin is left smoother while the vacuum action of the wand stimulates blood flow and cleans pores.

Increasing blood flow to the skin’s surface encourages collagen formation, thus firming and toning the epidermis as well. Following the desired level of exfoliation, skin-specific infusions are delivered to the skin to target your unique skin care needs for maximum results.

What conditions can DermaSweep treat?

Among the conditions DermaSweep treats are pigmentation and early aging lines. The treatments combine exfoliation with delivery of skin-specific infusions to provide fresher-feeling and younger-looking skin. DermaSweep’s SkinFusions are formatted using cutting-edge ingredients to treat specific dermatologic conditions. This allows DeSilva Dermatology to deliver an effective treatment tailored to each patient’s unique skincare needs.

What types of infusion products are used?

DermaSweep SkinFusions are available in three categories, EpiFusions, PremiumFusions, and PeelFusions.

• EpiFusions target specific dermatological concerns such as skin lightening and brightening, dehydration, and much more.
• PremiumFusions contain powerful, scientifically proven active skincare ingredients including skin transforming peptides, age reversing growth factors, and revitalizing DNA repair enzymes.
• PeelFusions boost the benefits of traditional chemical peels through enhanced delivery of the active skincare ingredients for faster results with less peeling and flaking compared to traditional peels.

We’ll select the right mix of infusions to deliver the results you desire over the course of several treatments.

Is it painful?

The treatment is safe and painless. You may feel mild skin tightening after exfoliation, and your skin will feel quite smooth.

How long do treatments take?

Treatments typically take about 20 to 30 minutes, but it depends upon the specific skin condition.

What will my skin look like after a treatment?

A warm, pinkish glow may last up to 30 minutes before subsiding. Your post-treatment care is simple, and we’ll explain it to you.

How long before I see results?

Typically, you will see results after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will occur after three to six treatments spaced 10 days to two weeks apart, supported by a daily post-treatment routine.

DeSilva Dermatology offers several nonsurgical age-reducing treatments that will have you looking fresher and younger long before Santa Claus makes his way down the chimney.

“The anti-aging solutions we offer frequently require several visits to take effect,” says Dr. Thushan DeSilva. “However, there are some treatments we can apply to give your skin a noticeable difference in just one visit.”

Problem areas that can be improved quickly include:

FINE LINES, PIGMENTATION AND AGE SPOTS

DeSilva Dermatology offers DermaSweep, a breakthrough, micro-surfacing treatment that can reduce the signs of aging after the very first application. Longer-lasting results will occur after three to six treatments spaced 10 days to two weeks apart, supported by a daily post-treatment routine.

FROWN LINES, CROW’S FEET AND FOREHEAD LINES

BOTOX® is a popular solution for these areas. This quick, 10-minute treatment reduces the underlying muscle, causing a visible smoothing you may notice in just five to seven days.

DeSilva Dermatology also offers Radiesse®, a filler that achieve similar results. Not only does it immediately add volume under your skin, the benefits continue by stimulating your body’s own natural collagen production. This makes the results both immediate and longer lasting.

FLATTENED MIDFACE AND SAGGING CHEEKS

As the cheek skin ages, it loses volume and begins to sag. This is another area that can be improved after the initial treatment with Juvederm Voluma® XC. One to two subsequent touch-up treatments are recommended for longer-lasting results.

THIN AND WRINKLED LIPS

Dr. DeSilva carries both Juvederm® Ultra and Volbella, which will add volume to your lips after the first treatment. Repeat injections may be require over time to build them to the fullness you desire in a gradual, natural way.

These are just a few of the cosmetic treatments DeSilva Dermatology has to offer. Call (830) 331-4150 or make an online appointment today to give yourself a glowing holiday makeover.
