South Shore Skin Center and Spa Offers Exclusive New ePrime

South Shore Skin Center and Spa, one of the most progressive dermatology practices in Massachusetts with offices in Plymouth and Cohasset, is one of the only providers in New England to offer the FDA-approved ePrime – a new, non-surgical skin tightening technology.

ePrime is a revolutionary new facial treatment technology that has recently been approved by the FDA for use in physician’s offices. It is an energy-based dermal volumizer device that tightens the skin and reduces wrinkles on the lower face and neck. ePrime is a non-surgical, minimally invasive facial enhancement with a quick recovery period of two to three days.

The procedure penetrates to the skin’s deepest layer, stimulating both collagen and elastin production. ePrime (Syneron) utilizes radio frequency energy to activate the dermis.

“We are excited to offer this cutting-edge procedure to our patients as a non-surgical alternative to traditional lifts,” noted Richard Eisen, M.D. “Its effectiveness is similar to other ablative lasers, yet it is unique because it also stimulates the production of new elastin and hyaluronic acid. Patients have noticeably improved skin tone and volume – a more youthful appearance.”

For questions or to schedule an ePrime consultation, contact South Shore Skin Center and Spa in Plymouth (508) 747-0711 or Cohasset (781) 383-3340.

Victoria Hancock Named Master Colorist at Makeovers Salon & Spa of Easton

Victoria Hancock, Master Colorist

Makeovers Salon & Spa, one of the largest salon and spas in Massachusetts, located at the Marketplace Mall in Easton, has recently named Victoria Hancock as Master Colorist. Ms. Hancock is currently accepting new clients.

Ms. Hancock has more than 25 years of experience as a hair stylist/colorist and has spent the last 10 years specializing in color. Makeovers Salon and Spa has appointed Ms. Hancock as the salon’s Master Colorist and her specialties are corrective color, single processes and multiple technique foiling.

Previously, Ms. Hancock was a colorist for Andree Robere Salon & Day Spa for six years. Prior to that, she was a stylist/colorist at Paul Joseph’s Image Group. She obtained her education at Costin’s RI Academy of Beauty Culture and frequently attends hair color training and conferences to learn the latest, state-of-the-art techniques.

Sharing her knowledge of today’s hottest hair trends, Ms. Hancock noted, “For the fall season, warm, autumn color tones such as golds and coppers are in. Peek-A-Boo highlights are all the rage now because they give clients color longevity and options. These highlights go underneath the top layer of the hair and essentially last longer because they are not at the crown and you don’t notice them growing out. Peek-A-Boo highlights are very versatile and clients who love to change their hair color frequently, love these highlights because they allow for a tonal change as often as every 4-6 weeks.”

“As our most experienced colorist, Victoria is a truly valuable member of our team. She brings a wealth of knowledge to the table; clients adore her and and it is an absolute pleasure to work with her,” said internationally renowned stylists and salon owners Edward and Norah Blum.

Ms. Hancock resides in Raynham.

South Shore Skin Center to Offer New Industry Leading Laser Treatment

South Shore Skin Center, one of the most progressive practices for medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology in Massachusetts, now offers innovative Fraxel re:store DUAL wavelength laser treatments. South Shore Skin Center is the only dermatology office south of Boston that offers this industry leading treatment.

Three board certified dermatologists at South Shore Skin Center – Dr. Emily Tierney, Dr. Katherine Ayers and Dr. Richard Eisen – are experts in Fraxel re:Store DUAL and will treat patients with this state-of-the-art treatment. The benefits of utilizing this treatment, which has two wavelengths, include predictable and uniform results; the ability to treat larger areas; an accelerated clearance of pigment; faster treatment times and a more comfortable procedure for patients.

According to Dr. Richard Eisen, “Fraxel re:store DUAL wavelength is a non-ablative procedure that better addresses pigmentation changes anywhere on the body, on any skin type, comfortably, safely and with minimal downtime.”

South Shore Skin Center is the only office on the on the South Shore to offer two fractionated laser technologies – Fraxel re:store DUAL and Fraxel re:pair. Fraxel re:store, which is the Gold Standard for non-ablative skin resurfacing, is best for general resurfacing on the face, neck, chest and hands. It effectively treats a number of skin conditions and also reduces the appearance of acne scarring and surgical scars. Fraxel re:pair is a fractional CO2 laser treatment that is ideal for resurfacing soft tissues; improving pigmentation; eliminating redness and broken blood vessels and smoothing wrinkles or “crow’s feet” around the eyes.
