Dr. Cirillo-Hyland delivers these results via a non-invasive, effective and long-lasting process.  To see the full benefits, several treatments are needed.  Since the protocol is not surgery, there are no incisions, stitches or anesthesia.  Best of all, there is no recovery time and the treatment is gentle, virtually pain free.

The protocol uses cutting-edge radiofrequency technology to heat the dermis, your skin’s inner layer.  This targeted energy helps reorganize the cellular environment and stimulates your cells to produce new collagen.  This new collagen produces the smooth texture, elastic quality and beautiful radiance of youthful skin.  You will feel your skin grow thicker, tighter and smoother.  Treatments can be performed quickly and may be used in conjunction with other treatments such as fillers, pulsed light, and Botox® to achieve better results.

As the selected FDA trial clinical investigator for this area, Dr. Cirillo-Hyland notes that the new system is superior to earlier technologies in the treatment of skin laxity, especially on the neck.  While the Before / After pictures are impressive, the results are even more remarkable in person.  Dr. Cirillo Hyland comments, “My patients refer to it as their secret, non-surgical face and neck lift.  They get their jaw lines back!”

According to dermatologist Victoria A. Cirillo-Hyland, MD, “LATISSE™ is believed to affect the growth phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase; and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase.” The FDA reviewed clinical study results to verify the identity, potency, purity and stability of the ingredients, and demonstrated that the product is safe and effective for its intended use if used as prescribed.

Physicians must prescribe LATISSE™.  Manufacturer Allergan encourages you to locate a core physician who understands the science of eyelash growth cycles.  At Cirillo Cosmetic Dermatology Spa, Dr. Cirillo-Hyland will evaluate your medical history to determine if you are a good candidate. For instance, if you have irritated upper eyelid skin or if you are using medication for elevated eye pressure, you may not be a candidate.

LATISSE™ solution is packaged as a 3 mL bottle of solution with 60 accompanying sterile, disposable applicators. The recommended dosage is one application nightly to the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes. You should only use the FDA-approved sterile applicators to apply LATISSE™.  The applicators have been designed and manufactured to meet FDA standards, and ensure that the correct dose of LATISSE™ is applied. This will maximize effectiveness and safety.

Victoria A. Cirillo-Hyland, MD remarks, “full results are achieved after 16 weeks, with lashes 18% darker, 25% longer and 106% thicker.  The before/after results are remarkable.”

The answer, according to Rosemont dermatologist, Victoria A. Cirillo-Hyland, M.D. is “D. All of the Above; it depends on what aging issue you are trying to correct.”

Dr. Cirillo-Hyland explains, “fillers help to correct two aging processes:

• Filling in individual wrinkles and lines, and
• Restoring volume to areas that have lost the fullness of youth.”

Dr. Cirillo-Hyland notes that a baby has the cherubic face of an “inflated beach ball but as time progresses, the beach ball deflates.”  She always gives her patients a mirror and asks them, “What are you looking to improve?”  Dr. Cirillo-Hyland then discusses which filler(s) would be best to achieve the desired result.

Although each treatment decision is unique to a patient’s skin type and aging issue, Dr. Cirillo-Hyland routinely uses the following fillers:

Collagen lasts about three to four months and hyaluronic acid fillers last up to six months or longer.

Sculptra® and Radiesse® are members of a new exciting class of fillers which last years.  They both stimulate your body’s production of collagen by “turning on your own collagen factories”.  Furthermore, Radiesse® additionally provides immediate filler correction similar to the hyaluronic acid fillers. Dr. Cirillo-Hyland notes that she no longer thinks of just correcting lines or wrinkles when using Sculptra® and Radiesse®, but of recreating a youthful face by adding back volume to sculpt the face.

Whichever filler(s) you choose, make sure you find a qualified physician who is properly trained in the technique required for the selected filler. It’s your face, don’t be afraid to ask questions.

The perfect filler for you is available locally at Cirillo Cosmetic Dermatology Spa. Cirillo Cosmetic and our medical dermatology practice, Bryn Mawr Skin & Cancer Institute, are conveniently located adjacent to each other, and represent the area’s largest, most-credentialed skin care center, addressing all medical, surgical, pediatric, and cosmetic skin care needs.  For more information, contact us at 610.525.5029 and 610.525.5028.

Victoria A. Cirillo-Hyland, M.D. of Cirillo Cosmetic Dermatology Spa says that credentials and cosmetic dermatology experience are the keys to the art of delivering youthful skin.  Most clients ask her to address multiple facial aesthetic issues, and hence optimal results are dependent upon her ability to:

• understand what her client wants improved
• determine the specific treatment options and procedures
• deliver the ideal combination of treatment protocols with optimal sequencing

Combination Therapy Examples

Botox® and fillers are the most popular aesthetic combination therapy.  Typically Botox® is used to eliminate or prevent wrinkle formation of the top one third of the face and around the mouth.  The bottom two thirds of the face is the primary domain of fillers.  Dr. Cirillo-Hyland explains, “In simplest terms, you use Botox® to relax, fillers to fill in, and lasers, radiofrequency and surgery to tighten.”  As we age, we lose volume and definition and that is where fillers, such as Collagen, Restylane®, Perlane®, Juvéderm®, Radiesse® and Sculptra® are utilized.  These filler substances target specific levels in the skin and when combined produce excellent results.  They vary in their length of duration from four months to two years.

There are many treatment therapy combinations available and Dr. Cirillo-Hyland recommends that you have a consult to discuss all options.  Some typical combinations to consider include:

• Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) plus Botox®
• Fillers plus Tissue Tightening via radiofrequency (RF)
• Pixel® skin resurfacing plus Tissue Tightening via RF
• Tissue Tightening and Cellulite Remodeling via RF
• IPL plus Peels
• Plasma skin resurfacing plus Fillers

Dr. Cirillo-Hyland summarizes, “People want safe, cutting-edge technology that can restore their youthful look.  They want younger skin.  They want it fast, painless and with minimal downtime.  And they want no complications.”

Which Combination is Ideal for You?

Is your goal to: Achieve an even skin tone?  Prevent wrinkle formation? Restore volume? Tighten skin? Remove sun damage and age spots? Soften scars?  Regenerate collagen?  All of the above?  Your ideal Combination Therapy depends on your specific skin conditions.   Youthful, glowing skin via Combination Therapy is available locally at Cirillo Cosmetic Dermatology Spa.  For further information, please contact Cirillo Cosmetic at 610.525.5029 or visit www.cirillodermatology.com.

No longer will you need to apply a topical anesthetic prior to laser hair removal.  Clients jubilantly report virtually pain free hair removal after being treated with our industry leading hair removal laser.  The system launches a new era in hair removal. This is a revolutionary new approach for improved effectiveness and comfort in hair removal, dramatically changing the way laser hair removal has been performed for the past decade.  Our laster system works “in motion” with a sweeping technique that eliminates a common problem of missed or skipped areas.  The comprehensive “in motion” coverage means smooth legs, arms, backs, and stomachs without the pain.  In fact, clients have even compared the experience to a hot stone massage!

The innovative Super Hair Removal mode provides the ideal combination for fast, efficient and pain free hair removal.   The motion mode:

• uses the optimal hair removal wavelength for deep penetration into the hair follicle,
• has consistent, high average power/repetition capabilities to enable “hair removal in motion”,
• enables virtually painless hair removal because of the “in motion” approach,
• can be used safely on all skin types.

The laser utilizes this series of low energy, high repetition pulses to increase the temperature of both the hair follicle, and the surrounding nourishing tissues.  This more gradual, “in-motion” heat delivery uses specific targets in the surrounding tissue as reservoirs to effectively heat up the hair follicle.  This, along with the heat energy absorbed directly by the hair follicle, damages the follicle and prevents re-growth.  Furthermore, the sapphire tip of the hand piece provides contact cooling to the skin’s surface, thereby preventing superficial heat injury.

This virtually pain-free hair removal system is available locally at Cirillo Cosmetic.  Our medical dermatology practice, Bryn Mawr Skin & Cancer Institute, is conveniently located adjacent to our Spa. Our center represents the area’s largest, most-credentialed skin care and cosmetic surgery center, addressing all medical, surgical, pediatric, and cosmetic skin care needs.  For more information, contact us at 610.525.5029 and 610.525.5028.

Victoria A. Cirillo-Hyland, M.D. of Cirillo Cosmetic Dermatology Spa says that the science behind the fractional technology delivers the dramatic results of ablative resurfacing treatments without its prolonged healing period.  Patients generally resume their normal routine almost immediately.  Dr. Cirillo-Hyland selects her lasers based on both their scientific results as well as their downtime profiles.  She keeps Cirillo Cosmetic Dermatology Spa current with the latest, most innovative laser technology for her patients.

How Fractional Laser Works?

Fractional skin resurfacing is based on the principle of micro-thermal treatment zones.  The laser pulses create tiny treatment zones (see pictures below), removing the upper layers of skin.  The micro-thermal treatment triggers the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the growth of new, healthy skin.  The laser treats small zones of the skin, leaving surrounding tissue untouched and intact.  These untouched areas act as a reservoir for more effective and rapid tissue healing and collagen production.  In short, healthier more youthful skin emerges after two to four treatment sessions.

Dr. Cirillo-Hyland explains what makes this fractional laser unique, compared to conventional laser skin resurfacing:

• it is a painless procedure, requiring no topical anesthesia
• it requires no prep-time (no gel, no blue dye)
• it results in no down-time
• it stimulates collagen regeneration
• it delivers great long-term results
• it is safe

Who can be Treated?

Since the laser procedure produces a “comfortable sensation” for patients, it can be used anywhere on the body and on patients of most skin types.  Since the fractional technology spares healthy tissue, it is particularly effective on delicate skin areas such as the face, neck, chest, and hands.  In summary, fractional skin resurfacing offers the best of both worlds: superior results, yet no pain and no downtime.
