Welcome to the Utah Botox Blog

I named this blog the Utah Botox Blog because Botox injections are the most popular procedure at my medical spa and the most popular cosmetic treatment in the entire country. My goal with this blog is to share pearls, knowledge, and wisdom about Botox injections. I believe that we continue to offer the best Botox injection experience in Utah at my medical spa - The Spa at the Utah Dermatologic & Medical Procedures Clinic.

But this blog isn't only about Botox. I will also share information about the wide variety of Aesthetic and Non-Surgical Cosmetic procedures that are now available. This field of medicine is growing rapidly and I want to keep everyone well-informed about your anti-aging options. A complete list of everything we do at my medical spa can be found at http://www.udmpc.com/

I also intend to use this blog as a forum to keep all our clients regularly updated on what's new, what's happening, and what's on sale at The Spa.

So check in regularly! If you are interested in Looking Younger, it will be worth your time.

Skin Medica Retinol Complex Cheaper than Retin A

Many of you have brought to my attention to the fact that generic Retin A seems to have doubled and sometimes even tripled in price depending on your pharmacy.  We have a much less expensive alternative available here at our office.  SkinMedica's Retinol Complex is similar in strength and efficacy to prescription Retin A and costs only $69.  It also is formulated such that it is less irritating on your skin as well.  So if you are seeing some Retin A sticker shock now, consider giving Retinol Complex a try.

Radiant Skin Laser Protocol is Ideal for Fall

One of our older laser protocols has had an upsurge of popularity this year and the results are indeed still great!  I first introduced this treatment protocol 9 years ago on Channel 4's Good Thing Utah after treating host Reagan's skin.  It consists of 3 photofacials alternating with 3 micro laser peels.  Treatments are spaced roughly every 10-14 days.  This protocol results in a total facial skin rejuvenation with reduction in unwanted brown and red discoloration, and an overall improvement in skin texture.  Downtime is minimal. Expect redness for only the rest of the day after each photofacial, and redness the next day after the peel (followed by 3-4 days of mild skin flaking).  Makeup can be worn immediately after each procedure, so most of our patients just carry on with their normal daily activities.  This laser package is priced at a discounted $1250 for all 6 treatments, and October is the perfect time to start, ensuring that your skin will be looking it's best for the Holidays!

Saturdays are Back!

We will be open this upcoming Saturday (the 13th) and I will be in the office offering Botox, Juvederm, and our full range of procedures.  From September to May, we are generally open on the second Saturday of each month (unless a Utah football game interferes in the fall - Go Utes! - and we will push it to a different weekend instead).  Saturday appointments often fill up well ahead of time, so be sure to plan ahead.

Plan Ahead for those Reunions and Weddings

June is a popular month to spruce up for those summertime weddings and high school reunions.  Be sure to give yourself enough time before you need to look your best. Remember that Botox doesn't completely kick in for 2 weeks, Juvederm results continue to improve for a week or two, and Radiesse continues to stimulate new collagen production for about 6-8 weeks. Plus, you want to give yourself enough time to heal from any potential bruising.

How Long Should Your Botox Last?

I still run into a lot of misconceptions about how long Botox should be lasting, so I want to review the typical Botox time-line.  The well-established Botox duration is an average of 3-3.5 months.  There are pretty good studies that show only 25% of people make it to 4 months (brow area).  If your Botox is lasting less than three months, that usually means that you need a little more.  If you are getting more than 4 months out of your Botox, then lucky you :)

Dermaroll Your Way to Better Skin

We are now excited to offer a Dermaroller system for regular home use.  The Dermaroller is a small device made up of 200 tiny needles that roll painlessly across your face, creating temporary microchannels in your skin.  If strong anti-aging skin care ingredients are applied immediately afterward, these ingredients penetrate into the deepers layers of your skin for an overall better anti-aging effect.  We have developed 2 different Dermaroller protocols in conjuction with our high-grade anti-aging skin care products - one maximizing Peptides and the other maximizing Retinol.  Each protocol cost $175 and includes your own personal Dermaroller plus cleanser, exfoliating toner, anti-aging serum, and anti-aging cream.
