Acne Treatment | Lehigh Valley: Acne is a disease that does not discriminate between genders or ages. Acne occurs when bacteria in the skin produces plugged pores, resulting in pimples, and deep lumps that can appear on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders, and even the upper arms. While not a life threatening condition, acne can be upsetting and disfiguring and can lead to serious and permanent scarring. The following two medical-grade cosmetic procedures are commonly used to treat acne and have proven very effective
Medical Grade Skin Products
Great skin starts with great skincare. We pride ourselves in helping you find a skincare regimen that is tailored to your specific needs. Our medical-grade, dermatologist formulated line is available for purchase at our spa or online for your convenience
Chemical Peels
A surgeon considers a patient's skin color, extent of sun damage, oiliness of the skin, and current acne condition in order to determine if a chemical peel procedure is a good option. The best candidates for chemical peels are those patients who have superficial acne or acne scars alone. Patients who have severe and very active acne may not be good candidates. In addition to a treatment for acne, chemical peels can also improve skin pigmentation and reduce the appearance of wrinkles
Crystal Free Vibradermabrasion
For fine scars this painless (in fact it feels good) procedure can do the trick! It is a selective and controlled mechanical peel, exfoliating dead skin cells, stimulating cell renewal and collagen production. Useful for rough skin, managing acne, or just to return your skin to its radiant glow. There's no downtime! You can choose a regular series of Crystal Free treatments or an enhanced series with a hydrating mask for the ultimate in a pampering experience. Your skin will feel and look fresh, smooth, and radiant!
Fillers: Restylane, Perlane or Juvederm
If you have just a few, shallow depressed acne or even chickenpox scars, then simply filling the dermis (the deeper skin layer) with natural hyaluronic acid filler will give you instant results!
Laser Skin Resurfacing
This is the Cadillac of approaches to acne scarring. It works by thickening the scar-damaged skin back to normal depth and adding elastic tissue to elevate the scars to the surface. 1 to 3 treatments required depending on nature of scars
Botox & Dysport
Botox | Dysport | Lehigh Valley
Move toward a natural look.
Wrinkles aren't your style and the "frozen look" isn't either. For adults who want a natural look, there's Dysport, a prescription injection proven to help smooth the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows without changing the look or movement of the rest of your face. Untreated muscles still work normally, so you can continue to express feelings naturally. It's the lines that disappear, not your expressions
How does Dysport work?
One injection. Five points. Loads of confidence. Dysport treats moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows by reducing specific muscle activity. Wrinkles are caused by repeated movements and muscle contractions, which means they can even develop in younger adults. One injection into each of 5 points between and above the eyebrows temporarily prevents muscle contractions that cause frown lines, leaving the rest of your face to move naturally. In other words, no frozen look, just natural-looking results. You can control your look instead of your look controlling you
How long does Dysport last?
Forget frown lines between the eyebrows for up to 4 months. You've got better things to do than think about what your frown lines look like. In just one 10- to 20-minute treatment, Dysport may help improve the look of your frown lines between the eyebrows for up to 4 months.† The majority of patients see improvement in just 2–3 days after treatment.4-6** Results of repeat treatments may be comparable to your first use. Another plus? There is minimal downtime after your treatment, which means you can get back to your day faster

Chemical Peels

Fraxel Skin Resurfacing
Skin Resurfacing | Lehigh Valley
Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing
Named The #1 Anti-Aging Breakthrough by WebMD. The goal of laser skin resurfacing is simple: replace damaged skin with new, fresh skin. Techniques for skin resurfacing have made enormous advances, allowing nearly everyone to achieve close to flawless complexions
How It Works
Fractional laser procedure is performed in a single treatment with 3-5 days of patient downtime. During the procedure, a high-energy beam of laser light is used to smooth out lines, wrinkles and scars, remove brown spots and other irregularities. It also stimulates formation of new underlying collagen to continue improvement over time. With fractional laser treatment, only a fraction of the skin's surface is treated by the laser, leaving small "bridges" of untouched skin. This technique makes the healing process much faster and enables you to get back to normal activities sooner. Many systems allow for light, moderate or deep laser resurfacing
The Primary Targets of Laser Skin Resurfacing Include
Fine lines and wrinkles of the face, especially around the upper lip, cheeks and forehead
Loose eyelid skin
Crow's feet around the eyes Pucker marks (smoker's lines) and frown lines
Brown spots and splotchy, uneven skin tone
Scars, especially acne scars, Loose skin around the neck and jowls
IPL - Photofacial
IPL For Redness Or Rosacea | Lehigh Valley
Intense Pulsed LightTM (IPL) skin treatments using the photorejuvenation process represent a breakthrough in age-defying skin care.
This new technique treats skin damage non-invasively - there is no disruption of the skin's epidermal surface. IPL treatments address the effects of photoaging and sun damage with low risk of complications and no recovery time
IPL is the gold standard for photorejuvenation.
This FDA-cleared, patented technology provides results for a variety of benign conditions, including age spots, sun-induced freckles, symptoms of rosacea, birthmarks, unsightly veins, and other blemishes
Why choose IPL over other treatment options?
Laser resurfacing and deep chemical peels often send patients into hiding, as they wait for redness and swelling to subside. Microdermabrasion addresses skin irregularities, but is not effective against all complexion problems including redness, flushing and broken capillaries. Face lifts and other surgical procedures are far too invasive for younger patients and "baby boomers" who simply want to revitalize their appearance without recovery downtime
Testimonials

I had many visible spider veins on my face which had been treated before at a spa and I was left with blisters, scars, and a fear of trying to fix the problem again. The technician at Azani not only eliminated my spider veins and scars but made the whole experience pleasant. I was very impressed and happy with my results!
Kybella - Double Chin Fat Removal
Kybella - Double Chin Fat Removal | Lehigh Valley
How KYBELLA® Works?
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA®destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal
How is KYBELLA® administered?
Treatment can only be administered by a KYBELLA®-trained healthcare specialist. At each treatment, you will receive multiple small injections under your chin, and the injection process takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The exact number of injections will depend on the amount of fat you have under your chin and your desired profile
How many KYBELLA® treatment sessions will I need?
Since everyone's chin profile is different, the number of treatments varies from patient to patient. Your healthcare specialist will help determine how many treatment sessions you need based on the amount and distribution of your submental fat and your personal treatment goals. Each KYBELLA®treatment session is given at least 1 month apart, and you should not receive more than 6 treatments. In clinical studies, 59% of patients received 6 treatments
Will I need time to recover?
After KYBELLA® treatment, you will likely have some swelling, bruising, or numbness under your chin. Be sure to inform your healthcare professional if you develop an uneven smile, facial muscle weakness, or difficulty swallowing

The Aging Face
As we age
Most women experience a loss of volume and skin integrity that results in common cosmetic complaints, which include the following: Crow's feet, Lip and frown lines, Deep depressions around the nose and mouth, Volume loss in the cheeks, Sagging around the jaw line, Dehydrated skin, Overall loss of healthy, youthful skin texture and tone
While plastic surgery and cosmetic injectables such as dermal fillers are always an option to treat these issues
There is also a more natural way to see youthful-looking results, using your own blood!
Also commonly known as the "Vampire Lift" is a new, natural procedure that harnesses the healing power of platelets and growth factors from your own blood to stimulate a stem cell response. These stem cells help you to grow new collagen and blood vessels, repair and regenerate damaged skin, and help slow and reverse the signs of aging
Platelet Rich Plasma Natural Facial Rejuvenation
Platelet Rich Plasma Natural Facial Rejuvenation
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is an extract of your own blood that contains three to five times more platelets, growth factors, and active proteins for tissue and injury healing. It has been used medically for years to accelerate wound healing; repair tendon, ligament and joint damage; heal diabetic ulcers; and help regrow muscle and bone. When PRP is placed back into the skin by injection or micro-needling, it initiates a localized stem cell response. Over the weeks and months following treatment, this stem cell response recruits collagen-producing cells called fibroblasts. The fibroblasts replace tissue that has been damaged or lost through the aging process with healthy skin that looks refreshed and rejuvenated
Advantages Of Cosmetic PRP
The potential benefits of PRP have led to in its use for anti-aging and regenerative purposes.
The healing properties of the blood components in PRP can be used as a cosmetic treatment for the following: Reducing fine lines and wrinkles, Tightening and toning skin, Mild collagen and volume loss, Crow's feet and dark under eye circles, Acne scarring
Within a few weeks of treatment
An overall improvement in skin hydration, texture and tone can be seen. New collagen and blood vessels begin to grow after three to six weeks, and reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and volume correction happens over the next three to six months. The effects of Cosmetic PRP can last 12 months to two years, depending on the individual. While it creates a longer-lasting effect in the skin, it does take time to work. For women looking for an immediate effect, Cosmetic PRP can be combined with hyaluronic acid fillers for quick volume correction. Fillers provide a matrix for building new collagen and can be used to accelerate and sustain the benefits of Cosmetic PRP
Cosmetic PRP is a simple and safe procedure.
The most common side effects are mild swelling and redness that may last three to seven days. Because the PRP is extracted from your own blood, there is no risk of disease transmission, allergic or immune reaction. It is a safe, effective and natural way of harnessing the healing power of your own blood to help reverse the signs of aging with minimal to no downtime. Generally, 2-3 sessions are recommended at 4 week intervals
Ultherapy Skin Tightening
Ultherapy | Lehigh Valley; An Uplift, Not A Facelift!
Ultherapy is the only non-surgical
Non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound and the body's own natural healing process to lift, tone, and tighten loose skin on the face, brow, neck, and under the chin. Ultherapy is an option for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity. Typical patients want some lifting for skin that has lost elasticity, but are not ready for surgery either mentally, logistically, or financially. Ultherapy is also a great option for those who want to "stay ahead" for the aging process as well as those looking to prolong the effects of a surgical procedure or facial injectables
Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared procedure to lift skin on these hard-to-treat areas.
Ultherapy uses the safe energy of ultrasound to naturally stimulate collagen and elastin growth in the deep structural support layers of the skin-including those typically addressed in a surgical facelift-without disturbing the surface of the skin
Many people notice an immediate effect following Ultherapy treatment, but the ultimate lifting and toning takes place over a 2-3 month period. Results last over 2 years.
Vibradermabrasion
Vibradermabrasion | Lehigh Valley
Vibradermabrasion is a newer alternative for removing dead tissue.
In the past, microdermabrasion machines have used small particles of Aluminum Oxide to "Sandblast" the skin. These machines treat a very small spot making it difficult to evenly treat a large area. They can also cause significant irritation
Vibradermabrasion uses a large surface coated with fixed abrasives.
Large areas can be treated evenly with less irritation. Studies have shown that Vibradermabrasion is more effective than microdermabrasion and patients prefer it
Vibradermabrasion has been proven to increase collagen production and to smooth the skin texture.

Coolsculpting
CoolSculpting | Lehigh Valley: Introducing the revolutionary new treatment, CoolSculpting in Bethlehem, Allentown, Lehigh Valley PA!
Most of us are reluctant to consider having injections or surgery
But when stubborn fat refuses to be shifted by diet or exercise there has been little alternative–until now. An innovative procedure, called CoolSculpting, offers a non-invasive way to reduce fatty tissue
Fat cells freeze at a higher temperature than the surrounding tissue.
The Harvard scientists who developed CoolSculpting used this fact to find a method of freezing the fat cells so they crystallize and die. The body is then able to metabolize them so that they melt away naturally. The process, which is approved by the FDA, uses no suction, no injections and no surgery. Instead, a gel pack is placed on the area to be treated, and a special machine draws up a fatty area using vacuum pressure. Each area is treated for one hour. In a 4 to 16 week period the fatty area is reduced by 20-25%. Best of all, the effects are permanent
Coolsculpting causes no scarring or damage to the skin
So it does not need recovery time. It is so comfortable that you can read or sleep away the hour that it takes. You can have the treatment while on your lunch break and go back to work afterwards. Typically, patients feel some mild tenderness to the treated area for a few days
There are so many procedures that can eradicate fat
Including tummy tucks and liposuction, that it is hardly surprising if patients get confused. The Azani team recognizes how overwhelming trying to choose between them can be and is always ready to meet you to discuss the various treatments he offers and whether Coolsculpting is right for you. Contact his practice to book a free consultation, or email him for a video about Coolsculpting that will aim to answer all your questions

Prp Erectile Dysfunction FAQS
What Is Erectile Dysfunction Or Ed?
Erectile dysfunction (impotence) is inability to get an erection or problem keeping an erection firm enough for sex and/or a reduced sexual desire that, when on an ongoing basis, it usually affects your self-confidence and causes stress, and relationship problems, frequently creating an issue for you or your partner
How Does an Erection Occur?
An erection is an emotional event that begins in the brain. Physical and/or mental stimulation cause nerves in the brain to send chemical messages to nerves in the penis telling the penile blood vessels to relax so that blood can flow freely into the penis. Once in the penis, high pressure traps the blood within both corpora cavernosa. This causes the penis to expand and sustain an erection. Erection is reversed when the inflow of blood is stopped and opening outflow channels open, allowing the penis to become soft
Ed Is Frequently Related to Diabetes?
Erectile dysfunction is significantly common in men who have diabetes and is most often caused by poor long-term blood sugar control, which damages nerves and blood vessels. Erectile dysfunction can be linked to other conditions common in men with diabetes, such as high blood pressure and coronary artery disease. ED is three times more common in patients with diabetes mellitus. ED in diabetes is associated with vascular and neural factors. Hyperglycemia (increased glucose in blood) is believed to give rise to these microvascular changes. ED in diabetes is strongly correlated with glucose control, duration of disease and diabetic complications. The incidence increases with increasing age, duration of diabetes and deteriorating metabolic control, and is higher in individuals with type 2 diabetes than those with type 1. ED in men with diabetes often affects their quality of life and, as patients are often reluctant to come forward with their symptoms losing a great opportunity to correct their ED
Some Other Causes of Ed
Male sexual arousal is an intricate process that involves the brain, hormones, emotions, nerves, sexual arousal, muscles and blood vessels. Erectile dysfunction can result from a problem with any of these. In most cases, erectile dysfunction is caused by something physical. Specific causes other than diabetes are: Metabolic syndrome (a condition involving increased blood pressure, high insulin levels, body fat around the waist and high cholesterol. Obesity, inflammationprp for erectile dysfuction lehigh valley allentown. Low testosterone. Tobacco; Alcoholism and other drug abuse. Heart disease, High blood pressure, neurological disease. Peyronie's disease (development of scar tissue inside the penis). Parkinson's disease, Multiple sclerosis disease. Surgeries or injuries that affect the pelvic area or spinal cord. Medications such as antidepressants, antihistamines and medications to treat high blood pressure, pain or prostate cancer. Emotional or psychological causes can interfere with sexual feelings and cause or worsen erectile dysfunction. Depression, anxiety or other mental health conditions. Problems due to money, stress, fatigue, relationships, work, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia
Abolic syndrome (a condition involving increased blood pressure, high insulin levels, bo
Treatment is often more successful when a man involves his partner. Getting the right treatment for any health problems that could be causing or worsening your erectile dysfunction should be your first step. For years the treatment has been either medical/drugs or surgical. Today the regenerative medicine offers you a new approach: Stem cells from your own fat or bone marrow, Platelet rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood can be used to repair the problem rather than putting a band aid on the problem with drugs like Viagra, Cialis
How Can Platelet Rich Plasma (Prp) Treat Erectile Dysfunction?
The Priapus Shot, a revolutionary new procedure from the creators of the popular Vampire Facelift can treat erectile dysfunction using platelet rich plasma (PRP). The Priapus Shot procedure is non-invasive and doesn't carry the heart-health risks that many traditional erectile dysfunction treatments do. The Priapus Shot uses natural, regenerative cells that are drawn from your bloodstream. These cells are refined to just the platelet rich plasma (PRP), using a highly-advanced centrifuge. By administering platelet rich plasma directly to the penis, the Priapus Shot (also called the M-Shot) delivers erections that are: Firmer; Larger; More frequent; Longer-lasting. Through PRP, the Priapus Shot promotes the growth of new tissue. The results of the Priapus Shot can help you have better erections for up to 18 months or longer

Hot flashes, loss of libido, restless nights.
Are all women destined to experience these symptoms associated with menopause? And what about men, do they experience a change of life as well?
The truth is, the human body was originally designed to reproduce offspring
But then die shortly thereafter. With people generally living longer—sometimes well into their 90s and 100s—quality of life issues have now come to the forefront
Hormone replacement does not just mean estrogen and progesterone for menopausal women.
It means replacing all hormones: testosterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, cortisol, thyroid, etcetera, in both men and women.Unlike synthetic hormones, intentionally designed to be different so drug companies can patent them, bio-identical hormones are developed in a lab to produce an exact match for the hormone being replaced
The bulk of the studies on BHRT have been conducted in Europe.
They confirm that with proper administration such as transdermal estradiol; there is a reduced risk of cardiovascular events, decreased risk of cancer, and a decreased rate of osteoporosis. The studies also confirm the up side of treatment—a noticeable improvement in the quality of life
"Men are truly suffering, just like women, but they do it quietly, " explains Dr. Gavin.
I get a tremendous amount of satisfaction from helping my male patients. They feel ignored and when they have a medical practitioner in their corner, they truly feel heard, and have their concerns taken seriously. They don't get the standard, 'Well, you're just getting old
It's a fact of life that as we age all of our hormone levels decline.
We don't just have to accept it and do nothing. "Suzanne Sommers does a wonderful job explaining all of this in her book Ageless, which in my opinion, everyone should read, " says Gavin
The goal of anti-aging medicine is to remain as vital and healthy as we possibly can by replacing all of our hormones to normal youthful levels-the levels we had when we were in our 30s.
