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!Â
Â
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 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.Â
Â
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? Â
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!
Â
Check back frequently and  let Torrey Pines Dermatology facilitate the transition to a healthier you.
Have A Great Day!
