Ask Dr. Lupo | | |
Dear Dr. Lupo:
I have lines on my forehead that will not go away with Botox. I have no movement there when I lift my eyebrows, so I know the Botox is working. Is there anything else that can be done for my wrinkles?
-Judy, New Orleans
Dear Judy:
You should talk to your physician about trying a hyaluronic acid filler to treat static wrinkles still present after Botox. Botox only improves the lines caused by movement. Some lines are caused by sun damage and collagen loss. A great option is Belotero, a newly FDA approved filler to treat superficial lines. Its smooth composition makes it ideal for fine lines on the forehead, around the eyes and the lips.

Updates from the Lupo Center |
May 2013 |
In an effort to raise awareness about the prevention of skin cancer, the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology is joining the American Academy of Dermatology to spread the word throughout May during Skin Cancer Awareness Month and on Monday, May 6 for Melanoma Monday®. As the days grow longer and the temperature starts to rise, we all need to be aware that extra sun exposure can be very harmful to our skin.
It is currently estimated that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. Numbers like that make a world without skin cancer seem to be an impossible goal. But it is in our reach. Skin cancer is highly treatable when caught early. The five-year survival rate for people whose melanoma is detected and treated before it spreads to the lymph nodes is 98 percent. Yet, sadly, one American dies from melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, almost every hour.
Join us on Melanoma Monday and throughout May to spread the word about skin cancer. Stop by our office to pick up sunscreen samples and educational information about preventing and detecting skin cancer as well as to schedule your annual skin screening with one of our doctors.
For more information on skin cancer, see below or visit our website.

Clear + Brilliant:
Rejuvenation for All Skin Types | |
When it comes to our skin, we put a lot of trust in products and professionals to help fight the signs of aging. Clear + Brilliant is a gentle yet effective treatment you can add to your regimen to give your skin a radiant glow. Developed by the makers of Fraxel (a more intensive fractional laser technology for skin resurfacing), Clear + Brilliant can help improve tone and texture while reducing fine lines and pore size. The latest Clear + Brilliant technology, called Permea, is a treatment option for improving pigmentation seen in melasma and other skin pigmentation disorders. Fraxel patients often find that Clear + Brilliant is a gentler option for between-treatment maintenance and longer-lasting results.
Clear + Brilliant:
- Is beneficial for women and men of all skin types
- Is safe, non-surgical and non-invasive
- Is a gentle, revolutionary treatment that fights the natural effects aging has on skin
- Helps improve tone and texture and gives skin a radiant, youthful glow
- Creates a more even skin canvas, with reduction in the appearance of pores
- Is a perfect complement to individual beauty and lifestyle regimens
Clear + Brilliant recently introduced a rewards program called Simply Smart, which gives members the opportunity to earn $50 savings off Clear + Brilliant or Permea treatments. Ask your laser technician about this savings during your next visit!
We always recommend a post-treatment skin care regimen for optimal results with any treatment. With Clear + Brilliant, we love NEOCUTIS' Swiss Rejuvenation Skincare System, which hydrates, protects and nourishes the skin immediately following a treatment and every day after. This rejuvenation system includes the Hyalis, Journee and Bio Cream in a cosmetic travel case. For a limited time, you can purchase this rejuvenation system for only $99.00, a $90 savings! Save even more with the NEOCUTIS Rewards Program.
