Skin care by Shahin Fazilat, MD can make it glow like a new you!
Overview
Skin Care is critically important because your skin is your body’s single largest organ, so it deserves to be treated with optimal care and respect.
After your skin is exposed to the elements of sun, wind, and dirt, our clinical staff can use the OBAGI® System of Skin Health Restoration to make your skin soft again.
OBAGI® offers several Skin Care systems that are unique to your skin’s needs. OBAGI® works to correct skin blemishes, surface discoloration, and damage by promoting the emergence of new, healthy cells with an overall increase in circulation and hydration. OBAGI® is also a well-known Skin Care treatment for patients with acne. Dr. Fazilat and his staff are trained OBAGI® representatives and will help you choose the system of skin care that is best for you.
In addition, our clinical staff recommends LATISSE™ as a prescription, once-daily treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes (hypotrichosis). LATISSE™ grows eyelashes, making them longer, thicker, and darker. LATISSE™ is believed to affect the growth (anagen) 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. LATISSE™ is a liquid that you apply to your eyelashes by a small one-use brush. It’s safe for those who wear contacts or use mascara. Treatments last with continued use and you can start seeing results within 1 to 2 months.

Embrace® Scar Therapy
Developed by Stanford University researchers, Embrace® Advanced Scar Therapy is the first scar management product of its kind- scars are significantly reduced when Embrace is used after surgery. Embrace relieves tension off of your new scar, allowing it to heal in a tension-free environment. It’s easy-to-use, comfortable to wear, and only needs to be changed once every week, ideally used for 6-8 weeks. Dr. Fazilat was one of the first physicians in the country to adopt Embrace. Ask him about how you will benefit from Embrace® today.
Clarisonic
The most important part of skin health starts with proper at-home care. The Clarisonic Smart Profile is the most efficient way to cleanse the skin removing all the dirt and oil on the surface of the skin as well as deep below. With the Clarisonic Smart Profile technology, you are removing dirt and makeup 11 times better than your hands alone. By utilizing this take-home technology, any skin care products that you use after cleansing will penetrate deeper and more effectively than manual cleansing.

Oncology Facials
Rest in hands that will soothe your skin and your mind. Illness, medical treatments, medications, chemotherapy, and radiation can leave the skin feeling dry, uncomfortable, irritated and sensitive. When your skin is compromised it needs specific products that are safe and gentle to coax your skin back to health without adding any additional strain or discomfort.
Our Clinical Aesthetician will assess your skin and provide the appropriate treatment for your specific skin care needs using only the most pure, organic and safe products. An oncology facial will not only give you glowing skin but will give you a lasting feeling of well-being. An improvement of blood flow, skin tone, hydration, irritation and inflammation reduction as well as the comfort of healing hands are just a few of the things you can expect from an Oncology Facial. You will be left replenished, hydrated and relaxed.
