What is HydraFacial?

At SkinScience by Cynthia Price, MD we are proud to provide HydraFacial, a noninvasive skin rejuvenation treatment that delivers instant radiance with no downtime. HydraFacial is designed to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, extract impurities, and infuse the skin with nourishing serums in just one session. Suitable for all skin types, this multi-step treatment addresses a wide range of concerns, including fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, dryness, and dullness, leaving skin refreshed and glowing.

How HydraFacial Works

HydraFacial uses patented Vortex-Fusion technology to deliver medical-grade skincare with precision and comfort. The treatment begins with a gentle cleansing and exfoliation step that removes dead skin cells and prepares the skin for deeper absorption. Next, painless suction is used to extract impurities from pores, followed by the infusion of hydrating and antioxidant-rich serums tailored to your unique needs. The result is skin that feels smoother, looks brighter, and shows improved overall tone and texture. A HydraFacial typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.

Who is a Good Candidate?

HydraFacial is safe and effective for nearly all skin types and concerns. It is ideal for individuals seeking a quick yet powerful treatment that restores hydration, clears congestion, and enhances skin radiance. Whether you are looking for routine skin maintenance, preparing for a special event, or targeting specific concerns like early signs of aging or uneven skin tone, HydraFacial can be customized to suit your goals.

Hair Loss

About Hair Loss

What is it?

The average human head has more than 100,000 healthy hairs, and many people have well over 150,000. Typically, you may lose around 50-100 of these hairs every day, which isn’t noticeable. However, once you start to lose well over 100 individual hairs daily, it can start to affect your appearance. Both men and women are affected by hair loss but in different ways. For example, while it’s common for men to have a noticeable loss on their hairline or crown, women tend to experience thinning hair in a more random, widespread pattern. Women also usually have localized loss because of repeated hair trauma, such as from hair being pulled tightly back in a ponytail or bun.

What causes it?

There are various reasons contributing to this. The most common causes include genetics, frequent stress, poor nutrition, certain medications, emotional issues, and trauma or injury.

Common treatments

The hair loss and skin experts at SkinScience MD have the experience and knowledge to provide you with solutions that stabilize your hair and help stimulate growth. Among these options are Minoxidil, an over-the-counter topical lotion that we also offer in prescription strength; Finasteride, an oral medication; and Spironolactone, another oral medication.

Cosmetic Injections

by

Cosmetic injections, sometimes called cosmetic fillers, are dermatological treatments for aging skin.

Cosmetic injections are used by dermatologists to help patients achieve a more youthful appearance. As skin ages, it begins to show signs of aging like wrinkles and sagging.

These treatments plump up the skin so wrinkles disappear and sagging diminishes or becomes less noticeable. These injections do not lead to permanent results but repeat treatments are safe. This way, anyone can achieve the more youthful appearance that they desire.

SkinScience MD offers several cosmetic injection treatments, including Botox®, Juvederm®, Restylane®, and Dysport®.

What are They Used For?

The primary purpose of cosmetic injections is to enhance the appearance of older skin. For this reason, these are most often done on the face; however, they can also be done on other areas of the body, including the hands. In fact, Botox is a cosmetic injection that is also used to combat excessively sweaty palms.

Most often, though, cosmetic injections are used to:

  • Soften facial creases
  • Erase fine lines and wrinkles
  • Plump up thinning skin
  • Improve the appearance of facial scars
  • Plump lips
  • Enhance facial contours

Types of Injections

Cosmetic injections are frequently referred to by their brand name. For instance, many of the types of cosmetic injections listed here are actually brand names that contain very similar ingredients. They include:

  • Jeuveau
  • Juvederm
  • Botox
  • Sculptra
  • Radiesse
  • Kybella
  • Restylane
  • Dysport
  • RHA
  • Versa

Cosmetic injections are FDA-approved and considered safe for most individuals; however, certain side effects may occur with some cosmetic injection formulations.

If you have side effects with one type of cosmetic injection, it doesn’t mean you and your dermatologist can’t use another type of cosmetic injection. Talk to your dermatologist at SkinScience MD to determine if one type of filler may be more suitable for your needs than another.

Am I a Candidate?

If you suffer from unwanted wrinkles, thin skin, or sagging skin, cosmetic injections could be a great treatment option for you. Anyone who wishes to appear more youthful is a good candidate!

Do you feel healthy and vital on the inside, but your outward appearance makes you look older than your actual years? Or perhaps you have a professional job that puts you in the public eye and you want to appear more youthful and full of vitality? Allow our treatments to bring out the best in your skin.

We offer technology to help you easily achieve a more youthful appearance through cosmetic injections. It may take more than one visit in order for you to achieve your desired results.

Skin Cancer

by

What is Skin Cancer?

At SkinScience by Cynthia Price, MD we provide comprehensive care for the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of skin cancer. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States and develops when abnormal skin cells grow uncontrollably. The main types include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. While some forms are less aggressive, others can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. Early detection and treatment are key to achieving the best outcomes.

How Skin Cancer is Treated

Skin cancer treatment depends on the type, size, location, and stage of the growth. At SkinScience, we use advanced diagnostic tools to identify suspicious lesions and determine the most effective treatment plan. Options may include surgical excision, Mohs micrographic surgery for precise removal, cryotherapy, or topical medications for certain cases. For advanced melanoma or complex cases, referral to multidisciplinary specialists may be recommended. Our goal is to completely remove the cancer while preserving as much healthy skin and function as possible.

Who is at Risk?

Anyone can develop it, but risk factors include excessive sun exposure, use of tanning beds, fair skin, a history of sunburns, or a family history of skin cancer. Regular skin checks are essential, especially for those with many moles, new or changing spots, or lesions that do not heal. Patients are encouraged to schedule annual skin exams and to seek evaluation for any concerning changes as early detection significantly improves treatment success.

Mohs Micrographic Surgery

by

What is Mohs Micrographic Surgery?

At SkinScience by Cynthia Price, MD we offer Mohs micrographic surgery, the gold standard for treating certain types of skin cancer. This highly specialized procedure is designed to remove skin cancer with the highest cure rate while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Mohs surgery is particularly effective for basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, especially when cancers are located in cosmetically or functionally sensitive areas such as the face, ears, or hands.

How Mohs Surgery Works

Mohs surgery is performed in stages, all in a single visit. The visible cancer is removed along with a thin layer of surrounding tissue. This tissue is immediately examined under a microscope on-site to check for any remaining cancer cells. If cancer is found at the margins, another thin layer is removed and examined, and the process is repeated until no cancer cells remain. This precise method ensures that all cancerous cells are eliminated while conserving the maximum amount of healthy skin. The result is both medically effective and cosmetically favorable.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Mohs micrographic surgery is typically recommended for patients with skin cancers in areas where preserving healthy tissue is critical, such as the face, neck, hands, or feet. It is also the preferred treatment for skin cancers that are large, aggressive, have recurred after previous treatment, or have indistinct borders. Patients benefit from Mohs because it offers the highest cure rates available while minimizing scarring and the need for additional procedures.

Why Choose SkinScience by Cynthia Price, MD

At SkinScience, Dr. Cynthia Price and her team are committed to providing advanced and effective skin cancer treatments like Mohs surgery. With expertise and attention to detail, we ensure that patients receive precise care in a supportive, comfortable environment.

Skin Resurfacing

by

What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

At SkinScience by Cynthia Price, MD we offer advanced laser skin resurfacing treatments designed to restore smoother, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin. These treatments address a wide range of concerns including fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, uneven tone, and rough texture. By removing damaged outer layers of skin and stimulating collagen renewal, resurfacing treatments can dramatically enhance overall skin quality and radiance.

How Skin Resurfacing Works

Skin resurfacing can be performed using advanced technologies such as laser treatments, radiofrequency, or other energy-based devices that precisely target damaged skin layers. These treatments encourage natural healing while promoting collagen and elastin production. Depending on the method chosen, resurfacing may be gentle and require little downtime or deeper for more transformative results. Some patients may notice improvements after a single session, while a series of treatments provides optimal, long-lasting outcomes.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Skin resurfacing is ideal for patients who wish to correct visible signs of aging, smooth acne scarring, reduce sun damage, or brighten dull complexions. The treatment is well suited for individuals seeking non-surgical options that produce noticeable improvements in skin quality. During your consultation, Dr. Cynthia Price will evaluate your skin type, concerns, and goals to recommend the most effective resurfacing approach tailored specifically for you.
