10 Weeks to Healthy Skin

Would you like healthier, livelier, younger skin in only ten weeks? With a combination of facial beautification techniques, this goal is now attainable. Dr. Swinehart, a Board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon, member of the American Academy of Dermatology, and past president of the Colorado Dermatologic Society, has spent 20 years perfecting these techniques and 10 years formulating, testing, and perfecting the Regine cosmetic line. With just one visit per week you can chance your life forever! 

Week 1.  

Initially, a skin consultation will be scheduled with Dr. Swinehart. At this time, we will analyze your skin, and design your customized 10 week plan—just for you! You may begin use of a moisturizing cleanser, sunscreen, and moisturizer by Regine®. A microdermabrasion will be discussed with you and can be commenced if you desire.  

Week 2.  

At this point, we can perform test spots for chemical peeling, dermasanding, or dermabrasion, and/or laser peels. You may also begin Regine® glycolic cream and may also need separately to start a retinoic acid cream or gel for your sun damaged skin. Another microdermabrasion may be preformed.  

Week 3.  

A Jessner’s peel or microdermabrasion will be performed, causing gentle exfoliation that lasts 1-2 days. The Jessner’s peel is often called the “model’s peel”. You will also test the Regine® powder, foundation, an/or concealer for your facial lines and blemishes, to find your exact color shade.  

Week 4.  

At this point you will begin a custom designed retinoic acid-glycolic acid-citric acid combination cream for more extensive sun damaged skin. You will continue use of your sunscreen. Also, vascular laser therapy can be performed at this visit for spider veins of the face.  

Week 5. 

An alpha-hydroxy acid peel or microdermabrasion will be performed at this time. This will cause mild redness and peeling lasting 1-2 days followed by gentle exfoliation.  

Week 6.  

Botox® can be injected into the lines on the forehead, glabella, and crow’s feet. The effects of this treatment last for 6-8 months. Collagen can be administered for finer facial lines.  

Week 7.  

The preoperative visit for your facial resurfacing or laser peel, as well as other procedures, will be performed at this time. Photographs, lab work, and pre and post op instructions will be given and all of your questions will be answered.  

Week 8.  

At this point, you will stop aspirin, and start your preoperative medications. You will continue using your retinoic-glycolic cream right up to the time of the procedure.  

Week 9.  

Therapy for your wrinkles, facial lines, and scars will be performed by laser, dermasanding or chemical peeling. At this point also, you may receive a upper lid “eye lift” (blepharoplasty) for excess eye skin, liposuction of the neck, and dermal grafting for deep scars or deep facial lines on the face.  

Week 10.  

We will see you again in the office. You will restart your sunscreen, and continue utilizing your concealer and foundation therapy. Finally, treat yourself or your significant other to the wonderful tropical floral Elma® and Florene® fragrances by Regine!
