Spider veins, Rosacea, Stretch Marks, Red Birthmarks or Scars
Blue, red, purple, no matter what color they are, let’s face it, leg and facial veins, scars and stretch marks are just plain unattractive. But Dr. Tim Rosio’s laser expertise at AnewSKIN brings advances in dermatology laser therapy that can help get rid of them once and for all. Our Cynergy cosmetic laser “Gets the Red Out” and smoothes the skin. See why our cosmetic laser treatment, has patients saying, “Now you see them, now you don’t.”

An estimated 50% of all women will suffer from varicose and/or spider veins by the time they’re 50. For many, these embarrassing lines make it difficult to wear shorts or enjoy summer fun, and several are affected by the veins before they reach their fifties. Both facial and leg veins can create the impression of being much older than you feel. That’s why Dr. Rosio calls his laser treatment an “Age Eraser”, and “Vein Eraser”.

Laser erasing Veins

More than ever, women have several options to choose for spider vein treatment. Featured on The Dr. Oz Show, the Cynergy, and also the Apogee Vascular Workstations from Cynosure, are lasers for spider veins that Dr. Rosio uses as he treats many types of vascular and “Age Spot” pigmented lesions. Spider veins, rosacea, Portwine Stain birthmarks and hemangiomas are only a few of the treatments available from Dr. Tim Rosio, director of AnewSKIN Dermatology. The El Dorado Hills and Sacramento area dermatologist is a colleague of New York dermatologist Dr. Katz and uses the same laser as shown on Dr. Oz to perform this procedure that was shown live on the show.

Dr. Rosio and Dr. Katz agree, “This is very common, we see this in our patients every day…. We can address it now with these new lasers.” The spider vein laser uses two distinct wavelengths, and the laser light is absorbed by the blood in the vein causing it to coagulate so that the vein disappears. The treatment is not painful and very effective. The effect is immediately visible with little to no side effects.

Your Life, Your Skin: Making a Difference

Happy Thanksgiving To Our Families, Colleagues and Friends

Every year we like to take this time to reflect on the past year.  We meet so many wonderful people through our practice and are pleased to be able to help change their lives as they touch ours.  We wish you all the very best in the coming year and hope that you too have something to give thanks for.

As if childhood was not cruel enough, this little girl has gotten more than her fill. At only nine years old, little Kelsey was mauled by a pit bull. Her mother watched in terror as her daughter’s face was locked in the dog’s powerful jaws.

Despite the efforts of the emergency room doctors, Kelsey was left with a prominent scar on the inside area of her nose, obstructing some of her sight.
To make matters worse, kids at school began teasing little Kelsey.

Not wanting to see her child suffer any more, Kelsey’s mom brought her into AnewSkin Dermatology to see what Dr. Rosio could do. She had heard about Dr.
Rosio’s Heal One Wound Foundation and how he has helped repair children’s scars throughout the world. Within days, Dr. Rosio was able to reduce the scar and restore a smile to Kelsey’s beautiful face.

We are grateful for having met Kelsey and her family and hope that they will
have plenty to give thanks for this year.

Zerona offers AnewSkin patients a new way to slim down to look and feel their best.  Unlike the SmartLipo treatments, Zerona is completely non-invasive and has absolutely zero downtime.  Patients have seen an average of 6 inches disappear from common problem areas such as the hips, waist and thighs after only two weeks of treatment.

Prospective patients should be aware that there are certain side-effects, which may include:

• Reduction in serum cholesterol levels
• Reduction in inflammation and pain
• Decreased swelling after other cosmetic procedures
• Increased metabolism
• Uniform, natural fat loss in untreated areas

You may be asking yourself “If these are side-effects, what’s the downside?”  Well, after years of clinical studies, the people behind the Zerona laser have not seen any adverse effects of the treatment, and have been pleasantly surprised to see the additional, unexpected benefits.

How Does Zerona Work?

The Zerona procedure consists of 6, 40-minute treatments spread out over a two-week period.  A patient simply lies down on a table, 20-minutes on each side, while the Zerona laser sweeps red laser-beams across the requested areas.  You don’t feel a thing!

It is important to remain well-hydrated before, during and after the procedure to ensure proper lymphatic flow.  This allows the fat that was released from the fat cells to be metabolized and excreted from your body through normal biological processes.

Zerona Results

Is it Permanent?

That depends on you!  Zerona does not eliminate the entire fat cell the way traditional liposuction or SmartLipo does.  This means that your cells are still able to absorb more fat if you do not eat a healthy diet and get adequate exercise.

AnewSkin is dedicated to helping our patients reach and maintain their fitness goals, which is why we have created the AnewSkin University – an online supportive network for our Zerona and SmartLipo patients.  This network provides information on health and fitness, support, and special events aimed at helping you succeed.

If you are ready to take that next step to a happier, healthier you, give us a call to set up your free consultation!

For years, scientists have described tanning beds and ultraviolet radiation as “probable carcinogens.”
A new analysis of about 20 studies concludes the risk of skin cancer jumps by 75 percent when people start using tanning beds before age 30.

Experts also found that all types of ultraviolet radiation caused worrying mutations in mice, proof the radiation is carcinogenic. Previously, only one type of ultraviolet radiation known as UVB was thought to be lethal.
The new classification means tanning beds ultraviolet A bulbs radiation are definite causes of cancer, alongside tobacco, the hepatitis B virus and chimney sweeping, among others.

The research was published online in the medical journal Lancet Oncology on Wednesday by experts at the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, the cancer arm of the World Health Organization.
I am reminding people of the risks of sunbeds,” said Dr. Tim Rosio. The new classification means it is a definite carcinogen.

Most lights used in tanning beds give off mainly ultraviolet radiation, which cause skin and eye cancer. As use of tanning beds has increased among people under 30, doctors have seen a parallel rise in the numbers of young people with skin cancer, though most types of skin cancer will not metastasize throughout the body.

According to the studies reviewed by Cogliano and colleagues, using tanning beds caused about a 20 percent increased relative risk of developing melanoma, the deadliest kind of skin cancer.

Cogliano said it was impossible to know how many benign skin cancers might be caused by tanning beds, because of complicating factors like exposure to regular sunlight. He and colleagues examined data from more than 7,000 melanoma cases and found a strong association between tanning bed use and the disease. He compared the link to that found between tobacco and lung cancer.

In Britain, melanoma is now the leading cancer diagnosed in women in their 20s. Normally, skin cancer rates are highest in people over 75. According to a British study from 2003, about 100 people every year die of melanoma attributable to tanning beds.

Previous studies found younger people who regularly use tanning beds are eight times more likely to get melanoma than people who have never used them. In the past, WHO warned people younger than 18 to stay away from tanning beds.

The American Cancer Society advises people to try bronzing or self-tanning creams instead of tanning beds.

In fact, studies have shown that adopting a comprehensive sun protection program that includes monthly self-examinations and yearly screenings by a dermatologist can substantially lower the skin cancer risk.

“We have found what we believe to be the mechanism by which caffeine is associated with decreased skin cancer,” said lead researcher Dr. Paul Nghiem, an associate professor of dermatology at the University of Washington in Seattle.  Following an in-depth study of cells damaged by UV rays, Nghiem’s team found that caffeine interrupted a protein called ATR-Chk1, causing the damaged cells to self-destruct, instead of mutating into cancer.

“Caffeine suppresses skin cancer development by as much as 72 percent in mice, and human studies are moving ahead slowly,” he said.  Additionally, because caffeine can act as both a sunscreen and a damaged-cell terminator, we may soon see caffeine popping up in our topical sunscreens.

Dr. Albert Lefkovits, a spokesman for the Skin Cancer Foundation and an associate clinical professor of dermatology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, doesn’t think it’s been proven that caffeine reduces the risk of skin cancer.

“While this is an interesting concept that has been explored before, it will take years of extensive testing to determine whether this will be a worthwhile prevention method,” Lefkovits said.

Personally, I believe as Lefkovits does, that while dermatologists have found caffeine directly applied to cells in the lab, or to the skin of mice have shown some beneficial effects, we should have more scientific data before recommending specific preparations.

So what does this mean for you?  Stay protected when you go outside by wearing a good sunscreen and as much protective clothing as is practicable, and visit your dermatologist at least once a year and anytime you see a suspicious spot!

Timothy J. Rosio graduated from the University of Arizona with notes of High Distinction accompanying his Bachelor of Science degree. As an undergrad, he worked as an ambulance attendant paramedic and Emergency Room assistant to pay for school, but still managed to find time for Alpha Epsilon Delta pre-medical honorary society, Phi Beta Kappa, and Phi Kappa Phi obligations. At the graduate level, Rosio attended the University of Arizona College of Medicine, where he obtained his M.D., and the Stanford University Medical Center, where he received a specialty certification in Dermatology.

While studying in Arizona, Dr. Rosio was a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, the medical school honorary fraternity comprised of the top 5 to 10% of the class. Dr. Rosio has traveled extensively, having received an ASA Preceptorship in Anesthesiology at Mercy Hospital in San Diego, California and an Arizona Health Sciences Center Study Award that sent him to London, England, in addition to enrolling in a Thoracic Medicine elective at Guy’s Hospital/New Cross Hospital, also in London. Perhaps Dr. Rosio’s biggest distinction while studying in London was his 1979 Elective in Dermatology at The London Institute of Dermatology and St. John’s Hospital for Diseases of the Skin, one of world’s best known centers for dermatology.
