Start off 2010 with the latest treatments you’ll only find at WIDLS

With the holidays behind us, it’s time for a fresh start! Along with those New Year’s resolutions to eat better and exercise more, many of us are looking in the mirror and thinking about change.

Meet Solta Fraxel re:store® Dual…

The winter months are the best time to use lasers for skin rejuvenation because our sun exposure is at a minimum, and the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery is the only practice in the D.C. area to offer Solta Fraxel re:store Dual. This new, unique treatment offers an extremely effective way to rejuvenate the face, chest, hands and beyond by combining the wrinkle-reducing power of Fraxel re:store with a first-of-its kind laser wavelength that eliminates age spots, melasma and other discoloration caused by excess pigment. Book this treatment on a Thursday afternoon, take a long-weekend “staycation,” and you’ll be back in action on Monday loving your younger-looking skin.

Say hello to NeoGraft™…

Stop thinking about your hair loss and start doing something about it! Hair restoration just got a lot easier with the introduction of NeoGraft—and WIDLS is the only practice in Washington, D.C. that has it. Unlike traditional hair restoration, which involves a surgical setting and significant recovery, NeoGraft is a revolutionary system that offers faster, less invasive hair transplantation with minimal downtime. Schedule a consultation today to learn more about NeoGraft and to see if you’re a candidate.

Solta Fraxel re:store Dual and NeoGraft are just two of the many cutting-edge technologies that WIDLS doctors turn to for a variety of skin and beauty concerns. From chemical peels and injectables to cellulite reduction and much more, call us today to see how we can help you meet your 2010 beauty goals!

We have something for everyone on your list—including yourself!

With the holidays upon us once again, there’s no doubt you’re making a list and checking it twice. This year, how about treating yourself and your loved ones to the gift of beauty? From fabulous stocking stuffers to rejuvenating treatments with results that will last well into spring, the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery has you covered. And remember, the week between Christmas and New Year’s is the perfect time to schedule procedures like chemical peels and Fraxel re:pair, which require a few days for recovery. Appointments are going fast, but you still have time to put your best face forward for 2010!

For the product junkie…
We love SkinMedica products, and we’ll bet any gal on your gift list will, too. When you buy one TNS Essential Serum, you get 20% off a second TNS product.

For the clean freak…
For the deepest cleansing you can get without an aesthetician, we recommend the compact Clarisonic Mia and powerful Clarisonic Pro Sonic Skin Cleansing Systems. Now, you can get two extra brush heads for $40 (that’s $10 off the regular price).
