Repair your Skin from Summer Damage

2008-08-29T11:48:00.000-07:00

Now is the time to revive your skin from the dullness caused by too many days in the summer sun. We have treatments to restore the luminous look to your tired skin that include 5 days of downtime, minimal downtime or no downtime at all. These treatments reduce and get rid of unwanted pigmentation.
Cosmelan is a skincare treatment administered by our aestheticians. This is a 2-part mask that uses Cosmelan, a depigmentation agent, that acts by reducing the melanin in the skin. The downtime associated with this mask is one day! IPL, Intense Pulsed Light, is a treatment using bright flashes of light to target discoloration in the skin along with broken capillaries. This procedure targets the pigmentation, the pigmentation darkens like flecks of pepper and lightly flake off over the course of 3-5 days. Active FX is a fractionated CO2 Laser. This procedure is more invasive and intensely goes after the damage done by that strong summer sun. Now is the perfect time to have these services because it is a must to remain out of the Southern California sun after having any and all of these treatments. Products that will help to augment as well as maintain good results after having Cosmelan, IPL, or Active FX are: Remergent DNA Repair- This is a powerful serum that enables the skin to recover from past UV damage and stimulates it to resist future photo damage. This product also reduces the signs of collagen degradation. Dr. Mills' Potion- This is Dr. Mills' specially formulated combination of the best age-fighting ingredients; Retin-A, Hydroquinone and a Cortizone to help reduce inflammation and redness. This is not suitable for everyone and should be carefully selected by our medical providers for you. Last, but not least, the most important skincare product you should be using is a physical block SPF. A few of our favorites are Remergent High Intesity SPF30, Obagi Healthy Skin Protection SPF30 and Tazo, a tinted SPF40.
For the month of September, receive $100 off Cosmelan, IPL, $500 off Active FX and enjoy 15% off any of the featured skincare products.

Dr. Mills finishes term as President of CSPS.

2008-08-28T16:42:00.000-07:00

Dr. Mills served for the past year as President of the California Society of Plastic Surgeons. His term ended this past June, 2008. The California Society of Plastic Surgeons is an organization of practicing, board-certified plastic surgeons committed to the highest ethical standards. The mission of the CSPS is to advance the profession of plastic surgery through continuing educational activities, advise the public and act as patient advocates, protecting the welfare of the people of California with respect to cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery.
Dr. Mills is now a part of the California Society of Plastic Surgeons Alliance, "Helping kids lead happier, healthier and more productive lives". There are thousands of uninsured and under insured children with deformities in the state of California who have no one to help them. This Alliance is for California's financially disadvantaged children who need plastic surgery.
The Alliance is committed to helping physically deformed, uninsured California children get the medical care they need so they can have a chance to lead a normal life. Dr. Mills believes that improving the life of a physically disadvantaged child is one of the greatest contributions he can make. Children who have physical disfigurements may suffer from psychological trauma, low self-esteem and isolation. The Alliance is entirely composed of dedicated volunteers, working toward a common goal of helping children with deformities build a more positive self-image and lead happier, healthier and more productive lives. While similar groups exist to help disfigured children abroad, the Alliance is dedicated solely to the children of California. One in every five children presently live in poverty. One in every twelve has a deformity. Dr. Mills is continuing his efforts with the California Society by contributing his talent to this cause.

Custom Bodywork

2008-08-28T15:41:00.000-07:00

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reports that there were 897,577 non-surgical procedures and 1,098,550 total procedures (surgical and non-surgical) performed on males in 2007. Plastic surgery has grown into a precise and more convenient way to slow the visual effects of aging or simply add to the final detailing on a body you've worked hard to build through diet and exercise. Men come in wanting solutions to ailments such as a wrinkled forehead, unwanted hair on their back/shoulders/neck to removing unsightly lovehandles with liposuction. Procedures like Botox and Laser Hair Removal are now just as popular among males as females. Our society places a high value on looking young and fit. Men of all ages and all walks of life are requesting plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons- a more balanced nose, rejuvenated face or a trimmer waistline. Dr.Mills offers services to aid in fine lines and wrinkles, tightening loose skin, getting rid of unwanted hair as well as eliminating signs of sun damage.

To set up your consultation regarding your "custom bodywork" with Dr. Mills call or email Diane @ (949) 499.2800, diane@danmillsmd.com .

We are offering for the month of September, "Botox Day" pricing all month long for our male patients as well as $100 off your first session of Laser Hair Removal on the neck, back or shoulders.
