I know I'm supposed to wear sunscreen, but...

We all know now that regardless of your skin tone you must wear a broad-specrum sunscreen. But let's face it, many sunscreens out there are white, thick and smell funny. And if you have brown skin, the may make you look grey or blue! So it is no wonder that many of our clients quietly admit that they are not good about wearing sunscreen. Aside from the potential risks of skin cancer, sun exposure leads to premature aging of the skin as well as pigmentation issues like sunspots, or in darker individuals, darkening of existing marks on the skin. Also, over time, pores become larger, the skin gets rougher in texure and vessels on the face may become visible. At Isis, we have found the answer! Cosmedix Reflect is a spray-on sunscreen that provides #30 SPF but is light and goes on beautifully! It leaves absolutely no ashy or grey/blue look on even the darkest of skin tones. It has no odor, is non-greasy and you really cannot feel it on your skin. It is so easy to use and you don't have to worry about those streaks or globs that other sunscreens leave behind. Just spray and go!

What To Look For In a Laser Hair Removal Establishment

Laser hair removal is a great way to free yourself of the ritual burdens of outdated hair-removal methods, and enjoy smooth, healthy skin. For those with ingrown hairs, razor bumps, darkening and scarring, laser hair removal can be a critical component to improving the skin’s overall health and appearance. In looking for a good place to get laser hair removal, there are many things to consider:


Safety. Find a reputable establishment, preferrably at least a couple of years old. Look for a practice with an involved, available Medical Director (not just a diploma hanging on the wall). Laser hair removal is fairly routine for well-trained nurses (in California, laser operators must be Registered Nurses "or above"), but when questions or concerns arise, they must have access to a supervising MD at all times. You can ask at your consultation something like, "What would happen if I had a bad reaction? Is there a doctor that could be called?"


Value. Make sure you compare “apples and apples”. There are many different ways to approach the laser hair removal purchase. You can buy single treatments (almost never recommended) or a package. Regardless of which laser is used, laser hair removal requires a series of treatments, and it is impossible to predict how many sessions one will need. You want some kind of protection of your investment. Remember that even with very effective laser hair removal, in the future, new hair growth can be stimulated (hormone changes, pregnancy, etc.) or a few follicles that went "dormant" can be restimulated, so it is best if you don't have to buy another package when these things arise! Unfortunately, most operations that gave any sort of free guarantee have since gone out of business, but at least try to find an arrangement that gives you a break on future treatments after you’ve spent money and time on a hair removal package.


Comfort. You should feel comfortable in the facility you choose...you will likely be going back several times. Get your questions answered. Make sure that risks and alternatives are presented, and avoid being pressured into making a decision.


At Isis Health Center in Oakland, we have one of the only guarantees left in the industry. After you finish your laser hair removal package, you get a lifetime of 50% off any future treatments in that area. In case another hair appears, ever. Our Medical Director, RNs and Estheticians are all highly experienced in the safe and effective treatment of skin of all tones.


Laser hair removal can be a wonderful, rewarding process, but it is not without risks and pitfalls. Make sure to do your research, and get comfortable before you commit. Take your time to find the “right fit” for you! Contact us for a free consultation.

Does Titan Non-Invasive Facelift Really Work?

Many who come to Isis inquiring about the Titan tell us that they have heard mixed reviews on the Titan non-invasive facelift. They wonder "does it really work?" Here is what you need to know...

1- Titan is not for every situation. If there is a great deal of loose, hanging skin and underlying fat, on the neck or abdomen for example, Titan may not make a significant difference. Therefore, we do not recommend Titan in all situations, and we make certain to relay realistic expectations during the consultation, individualized for each client.

2- Results are very operator dependant. How effective the Titan treatment is depends to a large extent on who is doing the treatment. There are many techniques that have evolved over the years that make the Titan treatment more tolerable, allowing for higher settings, and a more effective treatment. Also, things such as the placement of the pulses, the nuber of passes, and the setting themselves greatly impact the effectiveness of Titan treatments. At Isis, all of the RNs undergo initial and ongoing training from the Medical Director on the optimal way to perform the Titan. Also, if needed, the physician may be consulted to advise or provide treatment in more difficult cases. Our goal is complete satisfaction of all of our clients.

At Isis, we make every effort to stay aware of new technologies for non-invasive treatment of the skin. We are pleased to say that in our opinion, there remains no other non-invasive tightening procedure that can achieve what Titan can. Although results are variable and regimens do need to be customized, we have seen our patients achieve significant reduction in deep and fine lines, tightening of the skin that lasts. There are no incisions, no foreign substances, no implants, no injections, and no medications.We educate all clients that Titan is not a quick-fix. Titan involves is a process that causes stimulation and "coiling" of collagen, resulting in tighter, smoother, younger-looking skin. This process takes time. Most see results following their first treatment, but it depends on the degree of skin laxity and other factors. The peak of accellerated collagen production appears to be at 12 to 18 months after the last procedure (most require 3 procedures)! So all that time, you are experiencing increased collagen production, skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and an overall more youthful appearance.Call for your free consultation: 510.451.ISIS (4747) or email us at info@isishealthcenter.com with available times. The consultation takes about 30 minutes.
