Sun Protection
By Jennifer on January 29, 2010
With skin cancer on the rise, we work hard in our office to educate our patients on how to protect their skin. Many people think that if they are not directly exposed to the sun for an extended period of time, they don’t need to wear sun protection. This is very untrue. It is extremely important to wear sun protection on all areas of the skin that will be exposed to the sun at all. This includes driving or even going for a short walk. In addition to sun protection, having a skin exam once a year by a Dermatologist is always recommended. Prevention is the best way to avoid skin cancer. To find out about our full line of sun protection that we offer here in our office or to schedule a skin exam, please contact our La Jolla office. (858)362-8800.
Happy New Year!
By Jennifer on January 7, 2010
Torrey Pines Dermatology in San Diego would like to wish everyone all the best in 2010! I have already been asked numerous times since the 1st of January, by many patients, what they can do to improve their skin. There is always one product that comes to mind each time I am asked that question. That product is Retinol Serum. Of course there are many other things that can help to improve the skin as well, (like other products & medical grade treatments) but I think using Retinol in your skin care routine is absolutely necessary to achieve healthy, radiant skin. Most people are unaware of what Retinol does for the skin. Retinol is essentially a pure form of Vitamin A. It easily penetrates through the top layer of the skin and moves down to the elastin and collagen layers. The ingredients work to stimulate collagen production, increase cell turnover, decrease pore size and leave a much smoother, more radiant complexion. Because of it’s ability to get the cells to turnover it is also often used to treat acne because it can help loosen clogged pores.
We have a Retinol Serum formulated for us by a Pharmaceutical company that produces amazing results. In addition to the benefits of the Vitamin A, we have also added green tea and hyaluronic acid to the formula to help calm and hydrate the skin so that is well tolerated. We are offering a 10% discount on our Retinol Serum for the month of January when it is purchased in our La Jolla office. Just mention the Torrey Pines Dermatology blog when you come in. Also, check us out and become a fan of Torrey Pines Dermatology on Facebook and Twitter for more information and additional discounts.

“NEW” At Torrey Pines Dermatology
By Jennifer on September 15, 2009
We are excited to announce that we have upgraded our Laser Skin Rejuvenation procedure! We are now offering DEEP FX to our patients. The Deep FX laser allows us to treat deeper wrinkles and scarring with minimal downtime. This new laser technology is the perfect addition to our original Active FX laser procedure. By combining the Deep FX with the Active FX we are able to achieve maximum results in collagen production and skin resurfacing in one single treatment.
We are now able to customize every treatment based on each patients needs. We use our Deep FX on deeper wrinkles and scars, while adding our Active FX to treat sun damage and improve the skin’s tome and texture. Active FX + Deep FX= Total FX
We offer consultations for all of our Cosmetic procedures. Please contact us with any questions or to schedule an appointment to meet with Dr. Kristen Richards.
Welcome to the Torrey Pines Dermatology Blog!
By Jennifer on April 13, 2009
Welcome to the Torrey Pines Dermatology Blog!
Our blog will be updated routinely and will offer a variety of medical, surgical and cosmetic information for patients. This will be the place you can go to stay informed of the latest advances in dermatology. Our focus has always revolved around clinically proven approaches to the myriad of medical and cosmetic skin conditions, and this forum will help both existing and prospective patients to make informed treatment decisions based on science – not hype.
My name is Jennifer and I look forward to facilitating the Torrey Pines Dermatology Blog. I am happy to respond to both medical and cosmetic questions or concerns and encourage you to submit a blog post. Our goal is to make this a forum for patients – so we need your input! Check back often for educational posts from our four board-certified dermatologists and our medical esthetician. Remember…proper skin care and sun protection is the best way to prevent future skin problems.
What’s new at Torrey Pines Dermatology?
Our physicians are very pleased to offer the ZIMMER CHILLER – the latest technology for pain free procedures. The Zimmer cooling system was specifically designed for superficial cosmetic, laser and medical procedures. Unlike other methods of cooling such as cryogen spray and use of ice packs during your treatment, the Zimmer cools the skin without interfering with your procedure and is controlled by the patient for total pain management. Patients experiencing the Zimmer are thrilled when they finish a procedure and have little or no pain – something very few physician practices can offer. So stop suffering through procedures. There is a better way to manage pain. It’s called the ZIMMER CHILLER and it is now available at Torrey Pines Dermatology!
Check back frequently and let Torrey Pines Dermatology facilitate the transition to a healthier you.
Have A Great Day!
