Each year, there are more than 3 million cases of skin cancer in the United States alone. The rate of skin cancer has increased so quickly, that more than half of all new cancers found every year are skin cancers.

Here are just a few reasons to schedule your Fall skin cancer check at Skin Cancer Specialists, PC & Aesthetic Center!

Sometimes, no matter how much you diet or exercise, there are stubborn fat deposits on your body that simply won’t go away. CoolSculpting is a non-surgical procedure that utilizes cooling technology to reduce unwanted fat cells, giving you a more contoured physique. While the thought of a non-invasive treatment may sound great, many people wonder: How long do CoolSculpting results last?
Before we can answer that question, it is important to understand what happens during a CoolSculpting procedure. During the CoolSculpting treatment, an applicator is applied to the target area and delivers the cooling technology. The energy freezes the lipids in the fat cells, which causes them to die. The fat cells are then gradually flushed out of the body through natural processes over the next 8-12 weeks. Patients typically need 2-3 treatments to see optimal results.
Overall, CoolSculpting results should be long-term provided you follow a healthy diet & exercise. As the fat cells in the target area are literally frozen and eliminated from the body, they will not be able to grow or expand. However, CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment and cannot prevent the formation of new fat cells. If you have questions about the difference between weight loss & fat reduction, your CoolSculpting technician can answer any questions during your consultation.

Skin issues such as stretch marks, wrinkles, or sun damage can be extremely frustrating to get rid of. While skin creams may provide temporary improvements, many people look for a more drastic solution for their skin issues. Fortunately, there is a revolutionary new treatment option available to help known as microneedling.
Microneedling is a non-invasive procedure that is designed to rejuvenate the skin while getting rid of unwanted skin conditions. It treats a variety of common skin issues, such as:
The procedure is simple, and newer approaches utilize the advanced technology of the Rejuvapen. Rejuvapen is a special instrument that is fitted with numerous fine needles which puncture the top layer of skin. These tiny punctures trigger a natural response in the body to repair itself and in turn create new cells. This stimulates cell regeneration and new collagen formation, both of which play a major role in healthy skin.
Microneedling with Rejuvapen can be used all over the body, including the face, neck, arms, hands, and legs. The procedure is virtually painless and doesn’t require any downtime. While there may be some redness immediately following the procedure, this will go away within a few days of the treatment session. Patients should expect to complete four treatment sessions over the course of four weeks to see ideal results.
Skin Cancer Specialists, P. C. & Aesthetic Center is now serving clients in the Newnan area! To learn more about microneedling with Rejuvapen, or to schedule your consultation at Skin Cancer Specialists, P. C. & Aesthetic Center, please fill out the form on this page or call (770) 502-0202.
Stubborn fat can be frustrating no matter where it is on the body. While diet and exercise may help reduce unwanted fat on other parts of the body, fat on the arms tends to be harder to get rid of, especially without invasive and complex surgeries. Luckily, there is a non-invasive option to reduce unwanted fat on your arms: CoolSculpting.
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical procedure that helps to reduce stubborn fat on the body. Utilizing a special applicator, the doctor targets the specified area and delivers a cooling pulse energy. This cooling pulse essentially freezes the fat cells and they are then gradually eliminated from the body through natural processes. CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved procedure and has been shown to produce long-lasting results.
There are many benefits to choosing CoolSculpting for your arms over another surgical procedure such as liposuction. The entire procedure takes less than an hour and it is completely non-invasive. The treatment is fairly comfortable, and most patients read or even nap during a treatment session. There is no downtime associated with CoolSculpting, and you can easily return to work or your normal activities following the session.
Results are noticeable within a few weeks after the initial CoolSculpting treatment, but the most drastic results will be seen a few months afterward. Some patients find that one or two treatments are enough, but others will schedule another session about 12 weeks following their first one. All of this can be discussed with our technicians during your consultation.

For most men and women, there will always be some part of the body that holds onto stubborn fat, no matter how much you diet or exercise. Whether it’s on the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, or other parts of the body, these pockets of fat bring about frustration and reduce confidence. If you find that you constantly have a trouble zone, then CoolSculpting may be for you.
CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved, non-invasive procedure that is specifically designed to treat stubborn body fat. The innovative CoolSculpting procedure uses freezing technology to penetrate the dermis and destroy fat cells. These fat cells are then gradually flushed out of the body leaving you with a slimmer, more contoured appearance.
During a CoolSculpting treatment, the specialist will apply an applicator and a gel pad to the targeted fat area. The CoolSculpting applicator then delivers the cooling energy to the fat, “freezing” the cells. While this process many sound intimidating, the entire thing is completely non-surgical and many patients report feeling comfortable during the treatment. Most patients will read, send emails, or even take a nap during their CoolSculpting treatment.
Due to its non-invasive nature, CoolSculpting requires little to no downtime after a treatment session, and patients can return to their normal activities that day. While there may be some minor swelling, this will go away after a few days. Some results can be seen about a month after a CoolSculpting treatment, with the most dramatic results being seen within eight weeks.
Coolsculpting can be used for areas like:

As we age, it is typical to experience more sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, and other issues with our skin. While advanced skin serums and creams can help delay these effects, they cannot completely reverse the signs of aging. Skin resurfacing treatments can provide drastic results in men and women looking for smoother, firmer, and more youthful looking skin.

The Resurfx laser delivers laser energy through tiny dots to the dermal layer of the skin. The heat energy causes the skin to contract, which provides an instant tightening of the skin, and the laser stimulates collagen production. Cool air is used to reduce potential discomfort from the heat and the entire process takes about 20 minutes. Resurfx is specially designed to stimulate collagen production in the skin, which contributes to a firmer and smoother appearance.
Most patients require at least three to four treatments in order to see the most optimal results. The treatments are scheduled about a month apart to allow your skin to properly recover. While the procedure is non-invasive, patients should wear sunscreen following treatment as the skin may be more sensitive than normal.
Skin resurfacing treatments with the Resurfx laser can treat a variety of skin issues, including:

Microneedling is a revolutionary skin procedure that has quickly gained popularity in the past few years. Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that is used to rejuvenate the skin and treat skin issues such as stretch marks, fine lines, wrinkles, or sun damage. The process involves fine needles that puncture the top layer of the skin, triggering the body’s natural repair system and stimulating collagen production for younger looking skin.
At Skin Cancer Specialists, P.C. & Aesthetic Center, we offer SkinPen microneedling treatments. Not only does the SkinPen help treat hyperpigmentation, sun damage, acne scars & more, but it also has a restorative nature to help the skin heal faster, leading to quicker results.

The procedure is completely non-invasive, and most patients have little to no discomfort throughout the treatment. While there can be some redness immediately following a session, this usually goes away after a few days, and the results can be seen immediately. It is recommended that patients complete four treatment sessions over a four-week period for optimal results.
As microneedling with SkinPen stimulates new cell growth and collagen growth, results will continue to improve long after the initial procedure. Collagen production will help to smooth and firm the skin, while the nutrients that the new cells produce will contribute to a radiant glow and skin tone.

If you’re interested in dermal fillers, you’re not alone – thousands of men and women are discovering how these anti-aging injections can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the face and hands. Dermal fillers can even be used to add volume to key facial areas like the cheeks and lips. These anti-aging injections can easily be incorporated into any skincare regimen for smooth, hydrated, and younger-looking skin.
But when it comes down to it, how often will you have to undergo dermal filler injections? How long do dermal filler results last?
The answer is that it depends on the type of dermal filler you’re using. Some dermal fillers can last for six to twelve months, while other dermal fillers can last up to five years.
Most dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a natural compound that aids in the production of collagen and elastin. Hyaluronic acid also helps skin absorb water, which helps it look brighter, more hydrated, and firmer. The thicker the hyaluronic acid gel, the more volume you can expect to see at the injection site. For example, dermal fillers for lip augmentation have thinner gels (to provide best results possible), while dermal fillers for cheek augmentation are naturally thicker and designed to last longer.
As a rule of them, here’s how long you can expect results to last for, depending on the type of brand you use:

If you have hyperpigmentation on your face, it might often feel as though it’s difficult to achieve the smooth and flawless complexion you’ve always wanted. Hyperpigmentation can be caused by a variety of factors, including sun damage, genetics, and even hormonal changes. Hyperpigmentation is often characterized by red or brown spots that look like freckles.
Fortunately, there’s hope! If you’re looking to reduce hyperpigmentation on your face, it’s time to ditch the serum and peels and instead opt for Fraxel resurfacing laser treatments at Skin Cancer Specialists, P.C. & Aesthetic Center in Cartersville, GA.
Fraxel laser resurfacing works by delivering small laser beams to the skin’s surface. These beams penetrate the dermis to create small wounds, which stimulates the body’s collagen production processes. This type of laser resurfacing leaves healthy skin around the wounds intact, which helps to speed up recovery time. With a regimen of two to four treatments, most clients see their optimal results.
You’re an excellent candidate for Fraxel laser resurfacing if you have brown or red spots on your face, neck, décolletage, and even the back of your hands. Fraxel laser resurfacing can also minimize the appearance of large pores and acne scars. Every laser resurfacing session can be customized to suit your skin’s exact needs.
Make sure you wear sunscreen after every laser resurfacing treatment, as your skin will be vulnerable to the sun’s UV rays. Your skin will appear red and slightly swollen for three to five days; some mild peeling may also occur. Most clients see noticeable results within two to four weeks after each laser resurfacing treatment.
At Skin Cancer Specialists, P.C. & Aesthetic Center, our dermatologists can help you reduce hyperpigmentation to reveal your best skin ever. To learn more about Fraxel laser resurfacing, schedule a consultation at Skin Cancer Specialists, P.C. & Aesthetic Center in Cartersville, GA today.
You’re definitely interested in Botox injections – but you’re not interested in looking like your face has been frozen in an expression of shock. Unfortunately, with so many media stories of men and women with these exact expressions, it’s no wonder many people think that Botox injections are a one-way ticket to Frozentown.
However, when performed correctly, Botox injections can lead to smoother, younger-looking skin, all without that frozen appearance.
The secret to a natural look is being more conservative with Botox injections. Botox is injected by units. A top Botox professional will inject a smaller amount of Botox into your desired treatment areas, then meet with you a week or so later to see how your results are settling in. If you haven’t achieved your desired results, more Botox units can be injected until you’re happy with your appearance.
Botox works because it uses botulinum toxin to temporarily interrupt nerve signals between the brain and muscles at the injection site. When these signals are blocked, the muscle becomes paralyzed and is prevented from making repetitive movements. As a result, the skin smooths over and relieves the appearance of wrinkles and creases from frowning and furrowing the brow. Botox is also an excellent solution for crow’s feet – those stubborn wrinkles around the eyes.
If you’re concerned about looking overdone after Botox injections, make sure you share those thoughts with your Botox aesthetician. That way, a more conservative approach can be taken. No matter what, results aren’t permanent – you’ll see the effects of Botox wear off after three to six months.
At Skin Cancer Specialists, P.C. & Aesthetic Center, our dermatologists are trained to deliver the most natural anti-aging results with Botox injections. To learn more about our Botox expertise, schedule a consultation at Skin Cancer Specialists, P.C. & Aesthetic Center in Cartersville, GA today.
