The Skin RN

Earlier this season, we received our new VISIA® Skin Analysis System and have been busy learning to use it to its full potential. It's a state-of-the-art, pain-free imaging device that gives us the most complete picture possible of your skin health.

We're looking forward to including free VISIA® scans with many new patient consultations, as well as to track changes and progress for ongoing patients.

Happy Halloween!

Call or stop into the clinic during office hours through October 31 to advance purchase a PRF Microneedling – a.k.a. Vampire Facial – and get $100 off.

We'll get you on the schedule in November or December so you'll glow for the holidays.

What is a scar?
•
A scar is the body's natural means of healing and replacing lost or damaged skin. And while some “battle scars” come with adventure stories, others have more painful origins: trauma, surgeries, accidents or abuse…
•
There’s nothing wrong with embracing some scars, but it’s easy to understand why you might want others erased or minimized. If you have a scar you’d like to address, I have some really great tools to help. Let’s talk!
•

GET THE LIPS! ✨👄✨ Get them for yourself, or even for someone else you really love! 💕 It’s a kiss that’ll last and last. Start your holiday shopping early – specials starting soon! Keep an eye out and follow the hashtag so you don’t miss out!

The Skin RN gift cards always available, at the clinic or online. 🎁

💡 Reminder: Fillers should be done at least two weeks before any special event.
•

Feeling those crisp New Mexicomornings? 🍁Yay, fall is finally here! 🍂 Now is THE time to be proactive with Laser treatments and your chemical peels — reverse all that summer damage and have that glow just in time for the holidays!!

Fillers should be done at least two weeks before any special event, and your “tox” takes about 2 weeks to kick in, so plan ahead! 😀 This is a friendly reminder to book early! Fall and holiday schedules fill fast.

As our skin ages 👶🏻👵🏻 we experience a range of changes. Among them are loss of collagen, sun ☀️ damage, and change in elasticity resulting in uneven tone, texture, crepiness, large pores and... those dreaded wrinkles! Some of you might also endured the trouble with acne, resulting in unwanted scars.
•
CO2 lasers have long been the gold standard as a results-driven treatment for amazing skin improvement for those specific issues. *But* with traditional CO2 treatments there was considerable downtime. At The Skin RN we have the *only* CO2 device designed to give you the choice of either a deeper, more intense treatment or the CoolPeel ❄️ setting to meaningfully reduce downtime and still obtain amazing results.
•
The white dots you see are tiny little channels in the tissue which, during the process of healing, feel like sandpaper for about 7 days and all the while are stimulating neo-collagenisis ✨(aka the generation of new collagen).✨ And you're building new collagen even after the initial roughness goes away: 60 - 90 days of new collagen building, in fact! The process turns back that damage clock and revitalizes your skin without any major downtime. 🕰️

Comments or question? I'd love to hear your experiences, too. ⬇️

If you watched the Emmys or just wish for a glowy✨, dewy, flawless face ready for a red carpet premiere, you probably wonder how celebrities get their skin to look so good. One major secret is micro infusion facial treatments – a.k.a. Aquagold facials. This beloved treatment is a cocktail of “tox” to tighten every pore to flawless perfection, HA filler to plump up fine lines, and a bespoke mix of vitamins or even PRF delivered via an ingenious, tiny microneedling device. This powerful little vial boosts growth factors for no-downtime wow results, and will make your skin special event or holiday ready… or extra beautiful just because you deserve it!
•
✨Plan for a micro infusion facial treatment 10-14 days before your special event for all thethose goodies in your cocktail to take full effect.
✨Results last 3-4 months

# Aquagold glow

Advanced laser training today with the one and only . Unlocking the full potential of these marvelous machines! 🌱

The dreaded undereye! At some point, everyone feels a little unhappy with the way this window-to-the-soul area looks like. Things I commonly hear from patients: “I look tired.” “It’s puffy.” “It’s crepey.” “It’s hollow.” “I always have dark circles” 🥵
•
Filler alone is commonly used to treat these problems, but it is NOT the answer for beautiful, natural-look results—in fact, it cant make some of them look worse! I have many way-better-than-filler alone options. For example:
• EZ-Gel PRF strengthens and replenishes the skin in the undereye area naturally, using your own growth factors 🌱
• *Virtue Exact RF can reduce fat pads AND tighten the skin around the eye.
•
These are just two of the many options I offer for the undereye. Let’s customize yours!
•

My heart’s heavy, my beautiful friend . You were giving, bright and so, so genuine. You graciously shared your wonderful L.A. home and always made me feel like we’d known one another forever. You felt your emotions vividly and have loved everything in your life with a passion few people are capable of. Sending big love to you and to your family at this sad, sad time. 💛

This trio of targeted tools makes for a powerhouse of undeniable results. Radio frequency – aka RF Microneedling – is a combination of two therapies in one treatment: it is the precision of microneedling plus controlled heat to stimulate collagen production and skin tightening.

Here’s what makes the combination of these three powerfully unique:
•DEEP targets adipose (fat) on the body reducing it and tighten the skin.
•SMART is for your beautiful faces, and improves skin texture, tightens, tones, reduces pore size. Did I mention it also works wonders on Acne scars?
and last, but certainly not least,
•EXACT is a powerhouse, even though it looks little, that works to eliminate bags in the undereye area, smooth and tighten crepey skin there, and tightens heavy eyelids.

Shall we design a bespoke laser treatment for you?

Keep those alerts on for an announcement soon about our official laser launch party! 🎉 Rumor has it there will be some unreal one-day-only specials!

Happy Monday! A little time was great! 🌊🏖, and now we're back at it. We will be responding to messages as soon as possible this week, in the order they were received. Thank you for your patience!

I hope your summers are off to a good start! It’s rare that I get any extended time out of office, and so I’m looking forward to a little rest and relaxation: this week, I will be away for a short break, enjoying some time with friends and family. 🌞

If you’ve been to the clinic or booked an appointment, chances are you’ve met our wonderful Alycia. She’s the best assistant I could’ve asked for, and the master of my schedule. And she’s a patient, too! 🌹
•
In her words, “Francine is beyond knowledgeable about skin care, and she has significantly improved the overall look and feel of my skin with personalized treatments. The products she recommends, which I now use routinely, have been a game changer. If you are wanting to look and feel great, come visit The Skin RN!” 👀
•
In order to make Alycia’s life a little easier, starting today, we are instituting new cancellation, no show, and late appointment policies 🕛✅ – these will help us do a better job of keeping our growing waiting list moving. See link in profile for details. Thank you for understanding!

Neuromodulators – Dysport, Xeomin, Botox – lovingly called “Tox” for short, are insanely versatile. Here’s an idea about just some of the places and issues I treat with them:
•
Places: notorious trouble spots like “11’s,” forehead lines, crows feet, chins, upper lips, neck bands, and flaring nostrils, just to name a few.
•
Issues: wrinkles caused by facial expressions, excessive sweating, pore size, oily and acne prone areas, gummy smiles…
•
Shoot me some questions directly or in the comments below if you’re curious about an issue that can be helped with Tox!

To all the dads out there: what you do is important. You get to set an example for how you think the world should be. Happy Father's Day to mine, looking handsome in his happy place. 🍅🚜🐓

Dads, dudes, guys, boys, brothers: there is no shame in serious skincare. Really, for now and for your future, it’s important that you clean, maintain, moisturize and have a little maintenance 🧰 work done from time to time. Men’s skin might mature differently, age differently, and have a specific set of concerns, but it requires a real regimen and routine attention to keep ship-shape and healthy. Come talk to me about it!
•
If you’re looking for a great last-minute gift 🎁 idea for a special dad, I’ve got great product lines suitable for men, as well as gift cards for any treatment that go a long way. We can start simple – I promise you'll be glad we started.
