Calming VBeam Laser Treatment“I’ve had several different treatments at Germain Dermatology and one of my favorites is the Calming Vbeam laser. I have redness from rosacea and from acne. After 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart, I have my redness under control. When I start to feel flushed from spicy food, embarrassment, heat or any of my other triggers, my face no longer gets bright red! My skin looks so much better without the redness.”
*Alexis is also a fan of Clear & Brilliant, Botox and Silk peels.
Jane Iredale, Radiant Pressed Powder
“You never want to look different, you just want to look like a better version of yourself.”
“This is a journey, not a race…Do what treatments you can when you can. Every bit helps!”
And we have to mention-
“Stay out of the sun and Get your windows tinted; UVA rays goes through glass!”
and
“Don’t sleep with your make up on & don’t wash your face with bar soap. Using quality products DOES make a difference! Always Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate.”

September is here and the kids are back in school. For all the parents out there, the summer is a chance to reconnect with the kids and also enjoy that special time with them. But often as the summer winds down, we hear from many parents that it also is a time where both the kids and parents are ready for school to be back in session. Remember when you were a kid and the summer seemed to last forever?
But now that the kids are back to reading, writing and math (yes, we know arithmetic) – it’s time to undo all that sun damage your delicate skin experienced over the summer. Below is a local mom of two, Lauren. As you can tell, Lauren is has melasma. Melasma is a dark skin discoloration that appears on sun-exposed areas of the face. Melasma is a very common skin disorder. Though it can affect anyone, young women with brownish skin tones are at greatest risk. Melasma is often associated with the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. It is especially common in pregnant women, women who are taking birth control pills (oral contraceptives) and women taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) during menopause. Sun exposure is also a strong risk factor for melasma. The condition is particularly common in tropical climates. You can read more about melasma here…
Lauren underwent a laser illumination peel and look at the dramatic difference! Wow!
