Ask Dr. Lupo
| |
Dear Dr. Lupo:
I've had a sore jaw for quite a long time. I am pretty sure it is not due to grinding, but rather I clench my jaw out of anxiety. The shape of my jaw is slightly square, too, which I do not like. Can Botox slim the jawline and potentially help a sore jaw?
-Morgan, Metairie
Dear Morgan:
The masseter muscle (located on the upper jawline) can become sore or enlarged when people grind or clench their teeth. Injecting Botox into the masseter muscle can soften and reshape a squared face and potentially lessen the soreness. Botox injected into the masseter is an advanced technique, so see an expert. I would also recommend a mouth guard at night to further reduce damage to the teeth and to keep your face looking slender and feminine.

MAY IS SKIN CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
You've heard it over and over... "Get your annual health checkups because early detection can be lifesaving!" But sometimes it's hard to face what might come out of an exam. It could be nothing, but it could also be lumps, bumps, surgery or scaring. You never know, but if you want to stay healthy, don't put off checkups.
Here at the Lupo Center, it's important to get an annual skin exam to check for any changes in the skin. Being diagnosed with any kind of cancer is always disturbing, but it can be worse on our self esteem if the cancer is on the face or a visible part of the body. The first and most important step is to get any suspicious spot excised with cleared margins, and then if needed, we can discuss options for scar improvement. We have several treatment options including lasers and fillers that erase skin cancer surgery scars. We individualize each case to utilize the optimal treatment(s) to make the scar a distant memory.
The images below show a case of a patient who had a skin cancer removed. Her scar was treated with the state-of-the-art Excel V to improve redness and the Fraxel Dual to improve texture and soften the scar tissue.
Remember, there are differences in treatments for each patient, just like there are differences in the training, experience and judgment of dermatologists! Choose wisely for all your skin care needs to make sure you are receiving the best care.

Employee of the Month Selects
Product of the Month
|
 Teoxane RHA Serum Thais Chanove is our office administrator, and she has been selected as our Employee of the Month! As the Employee of the Month, Thais has been rewarded with a skin care product of her choice: Teoxane RHA Serum. Thais says she loves this serum because it leaves her skin feeling refreshed and moisturized. Teoxane is very hydrating, not like most serums that leave your skin feeling tight and dry. Plus, she feels it has improved the overall texture of her skin. We want our patients to benefit from this product as well, so during the month of May, Teoxane RHA Serum will be 10% off. Teoxane RHA Serum is comprised of a very high concentration of Resilient Hyaluronic Acid (RHA) and a patented combination of powerful antioxidants that have a visible brightening and revitalizing beauty effect. The second-skin texture combined with a high moisturizing power visibly reduces the appearance of skin fatigue. After 14 days, patients report smoother skin, and skin regains its ability to reflect light and complexion is brighter. After several applications, skin appears lifted, wrinkles are filled in and the face is sculpted. Dr. Lupo and patients rave about Teoxane RHA Serum on WWLTV: When you purchase a Teoxane RHA Serum in our office, you will receive 10% off this product through May 31, 2015, while supplies last. This promotion cannot be combined with our Spring Specials promotion.
