The French NP’s Sandy Hunt AGACNP-C had the pleasure of presenting at The Art of Diversity of SkinHealth Conference in New Jersey this Fall. An Annual Convergence of Diversity in Healthcare, this special event addresses skin health challenges treated inadequately by conventional methods, compared to the latest innovations in laser technology. Sandy Hunt AGACNP-C delved into the transformative world of dermatological advancements emphasizing the breakthroughs in the latest laser technology and regenerative medicine that are redefining the future of skin health.
What does the French NP want providers to know?
Aging is a beautiful part of life. Each birthday marks a precious milestone, a testament to the gift of another year lived, loved, and cherished. Graceful aging is acknowledging that wrinkles, like laughter lines and wisdom creases, tell the story of a life richly lived, filled with joy, tears, and adventure. Graceful aging is about helping guide the patients on a journey to feel more like themselves.
The first step in the aesthetic process is addressing the skin’s health. The most important thing when assessing your patient is arriving at the right diagnosis. As practitioners, all of your treatments should be surrounded by the key question “How can I heal the skin from the inside out?”
Create a Customized Plan
Provide holistic care and customize a treatment plan for each patient. Providing a holistic plan during the consultation is not only about a long term plan, it’s regeneration. Asking the body what it needs to produce in order to heal itself and regenerate instead of turning to synthetic methods provides longer lasting and more natural looking results.
To ensure optimal results, we craft a personalized treatment plan for each patient, tailored to their unique needs and goals. As part of this process, we recommend allowing at least six weeks for the initial treatment cycle to mature. By investing this time, we can ensure that our tailored treatments yield the most impressive, long-lasting results.
Make sure their skin glows from the inside out via
Customized medical grade skin care
Restoring structure
Facial balancing
Diagnosing and treating inflammation disorders
Energy based devices (Neo Aerolase is the gold standard)
Regenerative medicine
The root of every skin issue is inflammation
As skin and health care practitioners, our job is to reduce the inflammation. For any skin condition, we must ask ourselves, “how do I stop that inflammation?" Do not spot treat, instead treat the area as a whole; by doing so, we can effectively reduce inflammation and promote a more even, radiant complexion.
How can we regenerate cells?
Topically: We proudly offer medical grade ZO skin care; the premier choice for French NP patients. By building on this exceptional foundation, we ensure that every treatment is optimized for outstanding results. Just as master craftsmen seek out the finest materials; as a tailor would be thrilled to work with luxurious French leather or an artist would be elated to sculpt with Italian Carrara marble, we too are delighted to provide our patients with the best care and resources tailored to their unique needs.
Energy based devices: Energy-based devices like lasers deliver heat, creating a controlled injury to the skin at various depths (epidermis, dermis, or deep dermis). This injury triggers the immune system to send cells to heal and repair the area by generating new, younger cells. The goal is to rejuvenate the skin by encouraging the production of fresh, healthy cells.
The Aerolase for example, is widely regarded as the gold standard of lasers. This cutting-edge technology boasts unparalleled inflammation-reducing capabilities, with the added benefit of zero downtime. By incorporating the Aerolase into our treatment protocols, we're able to significantly enhance the quality of care we provide to our patients across a diverse panel of skin tones and conditions. The device's rapid energy delivery cleverly bypasses the epidermal layer, where nerve endings and pain receptors reside, rendering treatments virtually painless.
Injectable biostimulators: Sculptra, Radiesse, PRP, PRF EZ Gel, Peptides etc. Building lifelong relationships with our patients demands a thoughtful, long-term approach to their aesthetic care. Injectable biostimulators represent a vital investment in our patients' future beauty, empowering us to ensure they continue to thrive and look radiant for years to come.
Exosomes: Exosomes are a game-changer in the field of cellular biology - the unsung heroes of cellular communication. Since their discovery by Pan and Johnstone, research has revealed the critical role these tiny vesicles play in facilitating intercellular communication. These extracellular vesicles have been shown to facilitate communication between cells, transferring essential biomolecules that regulate gene transcription, cell proliferation, and more. Exosomes function as nanoscale transporters, delivering anti-inflammatory signals and anti-scarring factors that promote tissue repair and regeneration, leading to improved treatment outcomes.
As we forge ahead in this exciting new frontier, it's clear that regenerative medicine is more than just a treatment approach – it's a philosophy. It's about trusting in the body's inherent wisdom and working in partnership with nature to achieve optimal health and wellbeing. By tailoring treatment plans to each individual's unique needs and providing holistic care, we're witnessing a seismic shift in the way we approach beauty, wellness, and healthcare. As we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible, one thing is certain: the future of regenerative medicine has never looked brighter.
