Laser & Medspa at Shell Plastic Surgery Can Return Faces to Glowing Health

It may be the dawn of football season, but cell turnover has nothing to do with the Rebels or your local mobile phone provider.
Dr. Dan Shell, M.D., FACS, Oxford’s only board-certified plastic surgeon, says cell turnover is essential to keeping your face glowing and healthy.
“A facial treatment can induce a deep sense of relaxation and we recommend treating yourself to regular facial treatments and being on a clinical-grade skin-care regime recommended by a licensed professional,” Dr. Shell says.
Why is cell turnover so important?
 
“A regular cell turnover equals softer skin that is more even toned, clearer, and more youthful,” Dr. Shell continued. “As we age our natural cell turnover slows, so we must stimulate that cell turnover properly. At Shell Plastic Surgery, we offer spa facials through Shell Laser & MedSpa. While that can be very soothing and comforting, you may need to address some serious skin concerns and that is where our highly educated and extensively trained Medical Aestheticians come in to play. Medical facial treatments are like hard-core workouts for the skin. We can address different skin conditions with a variety of clinical treatments we offer.
We asked Dr. Shell what tools the Medical Aestheticians use in these skin treatments. “These professionals are qualified to use concentrations of  ingredients like pure retinol, glycolic and salicylic acids, which are restricted to medically supervised spas, such as ours,” he said. “They also have the ability to use resorcinol and TCA peel treatments along with diamond and hydra-dermabrasions and light therapies. Laser treatments include collagen induction and energy services for every concern from hair reduction to wrinkle and scar reduction.”
Dr. Shell explained these clinical treatments and regimes are performed by Medical Aestheticians under the supervision of a Plastic Surgeon — in this case, himself.
“Licensed aestheticians are well trained in their craft and extremely knowledgeable about skin health,” he added. “They are certified in all medical modalities they provide. We at Shell Plastic Surgery are proud to provide the Oxford area with these special services through Shell Laser & Med Spa.”
