"Staycationing" this Spring Break? Maybe you've decided it's better to skip the stress of plane delays, lost luggage or restless kiddos squirming in the backseat heading to the beach.  You're ready to kick back and relax, but just because you're staying put doesn't mean you can't indulge a bit. In fact, it's the perfect time to treat yourself to a serious spring reboot at Southern Surgical Arts Med Spa. Allow us to pamper you as we peel away years of natural aging and sun damage, along with dull, dry skin from winter's chill, for a fresh springtime reset. Our team of physicians and licensed aestheticians will evaluate your skin in a complimentary consultation and assess your personal skincare needs. We’ll work with you to create a treatment plan of rejuvenating custom facials, medical grade chemical peels and transformative skin and laser treatments - all quick, convenient and super-effective ways to start seeing positively glowing, radiant skin by the end of the week.

If you were to ask women in their 40s and 50s what they wish they could go back in time and do differently regarding their appearance, many would tell you, “I wish I had taken better care of my skin.” Whether they regret the time spent perfecting their tans by the pool or in tanning beds, driving with the convertible top down in the middle of summer, or playing tennis in sleeveless tops and short skirts, chances are some poor sun exposure habits caught up with them in later years.

Fall is finally here! We hope you had a good summer, with all the water sports, beach time, camping, theme parks, staycations, and outdoor activities your heart desired. We certainly enjoyed all the time spent with friends and family under the summer sun! Now we’re looking forward to fall for completely different reasons.

We recently added a breakthrough new technology at Southern Surgical Arts…DiVa by Sciton. Because the demand for cosmetic vaginal procedures has been growing steadily over the past few years, we were very interested in offering more options to our patients. DiVa is a revolutionary new treatment that uses the hybrid fractional laser technology developed for Halo, and we are finding it can greatly improve our patients’ comfort and quality of life.

One of the many benefits that patients of Southern Surgical Arts enjoy is access to the most cutting edge technology available. Our award-winning, board-certified surgeons, Dr. Carey Nease and Dr. Chad Deal, are committed to obtaining and mastering the “gold standard” technology for each procedure—from skin tightening to laser resurfacing, tattoo removal and more.

We all look forward to long holiday weekends, not only to reflect on important dates in our nation’s history but also to recharge our batteries and come back to work refreshed. But have you ever thought about using that time to schedule your cosmetic procedure?

Right before a long holiday weekend is an ideal time to schedule certain cosmetic procedures so that you’ll have time to recover without using up your valuable vacation time. After all, one of the benefits of time off is returning to work looking refreshed and rejuvenated—now you can look even more so.

When you hear the name “Sciton NanoLaserPeel™”, you might think of a futuristic technology or possibly something out of a science fiction movie. This is only appropriate, as the Sciton NanoLaserPeel is one of the most cutting-edge new procedures available today for skin rejuvenation. Southern Surgical Arts is proud to offer this exciting technology to our patients.

What is NanoLaserPeel?

Many of us are very careful about our skin these days. We are constantly reminded about the importance of sunblock for preserving a youthful look and preventing skin cancer and so we slather up our faceswith expensive products.

In our last blog post, we discussed the many benefits of laser skin resurfacing. Meeting with your surgeon is the vital first step in the process of attaining younger, firmer, more beautiful skin.
