Check Out Hair Removal & Skin Treatment Services At Point Of Care Clinics

By Celeste McLaughlin

Lynnda Mattmuller is a licensed aesthetician and laser practitioner who offers skin care services and laser hair removal under the supervision of M. Aamer Nawaz, M.D., at Point of Care Clinics Primary Care, located in the Seven Oaks Professional Park off of S.R. 56 and Ancient Oaks Blvd.

Lynnda began her career in laser hair removal in 2008. As she developed relationships with clients, she wanted to help them not only remove their undesired hair, but also address skin issues so they can truly look their best. After becoming educated as an aesthetician, she took continuing education courses focusing on sun damage, hyperpigmentation and acne. Lynnda joined Point of Care Clinics in October of 2013 to offer patients laser hair removal in an environment supervised by Dr. Nawaz, an internal medicine physician, who also has a passion for dermatology.

As demand for her services has increased and her relationships with clients have grown, Lynnda has expanded her offerings to include not only laser hair removal, but also a variety of skin care treatments to help her patients overcome their skin care concerns and maintain the health of their skin.

“We offer microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and enzyme facials,” says Lynnda. “These are all ways to exfoliate the skin to slough off dead skin cells on the surface of the skin and reveal new, healthy skin. It leaves your face radiant and literally glowing.”

Lynnda says she can help you determine which of these methods best fits your skin type.

“We have a menu of services to choose from,” she says. She’ll start by asking you what bothers you about your skin – do you have scarring, dark spots, wrinkles, or something else? Then, she’ll ask about your medical history, such as how much sun you’ve been exposed to and if you have any illnesses or diseases that could cause skin issues. Then she’ll recommend one of these treatments:

• Microdermabrasion — a mechanical exfoliation of the skin, using a diamond-tipped wand to remove dead skin cells.

• Chemical peel — offers similar results as microdermabrasion with the application of an acid solution, removing layers of damaged or aged skin to reveal younger, clearer, more radiant skin and stimulate new skin growth.

• Enzyme facial — a mild, gentle treatment that uses natural exfoliators instead of chemicals. At Point of Care Clinics, Lynnda uses fruit-based enzymes, which smell incredible and deliver dramatic results. “Your skin will actually glow,” says Lynnda. Currently, she’s offering a pomegranate holiday facial, which provides deep hydration with skin-brightening effects.

And, after all of these methods of professional exfoliation, Lynnda says your makeup will go on smoother and at-home products, such as serums, will penetrate deeper.

Lynnda adds that she uses two professional product lines — Skin Script and PCA Skin, which are all-natural products that provide great results and address most skin issues.

After your consultation with Lynnda, she will recommend treatments and an at-home regimen for your ongoing skin care. Lynnda notes that she has received advanced training in both of these product lines.

Ashley Dopirak has been seeing Lynnda for facial treatments for more than six months now, and is extremely happy with her results. She says she likes to have monthly facials as part of her skin care routine, to be sure she’s always taking great care of her skin.

“Lynnda really takes time with her clients and listens to them, and she is really good at tailoring her services to each person’s individual needs,” Ashley says, adding that she enjoys the relaxing atmosphere of the office, and that Lynnda is “very professional.”

“I like the fact that she’s affiliated with a dermatology practice,” says Ashley. “It just gives me confidence that they know what they’re doing and all of the treatments are safe.”

Laser Hair Removal

Lynnda continues to offer laser hair removal at Point of Care Clinics, a service that completely removes unwanted hair on both women and men in a quick, relatively painless treatment with a specially designed laser. The treatment disables the growth of hair follicles while they are in the growth cycle. Because not all hair is in the growth cycle at the same time, a series of treatments is needed to completely remove the unwanted hair. After two or three treatments, patients should notice a considerable reduction in hair, and it typically takes six to eight treatments to completely remove all hair.

“We’re fairly well established now,” says Lynnda, “and we’re getting great results. A lot of my new patients are referred to me by their friends.” She explains that many of those patients come in to have one area of their bodies treated, and they are so thrilled with the results that they want more, so they decide to treat other areas of their faces and bodies.

“It’s very effective,” she says, “and our prices are very reasonable. In fact, they are actually extremely affordable.” And, best of all, you can return to the same location and see Lynnda for each and every treatment.

“These laser treatments mean no more shaving,” Lynnda says, adding that a lot of women can relate to throwing on a tank top and realizing they haven’t shaved their underarms, but that scenario disappears with laser hair removal.

And, although summer seems far off now, Lynnda says it’s actually the perfect time to start thinking about getting ready for the beach. Because laser hair removal treatments are spaced out every six to eight weeks, if you start now, you can complete the first few treatments by June or July, and see the most dramatic results as possible. The entire series takes about a year to get complete hair removal, but almost all of the visible hair will be gone by summer if you start now.

The laser hair removal treatments at Point of Care are extremely quick (underarms and upper lips can be treated in less than 10 minutes) and are relatively painless. Although you will feel a sensation where the laser hits the skin (which some patients say feels like the snap of a rubber band), there is no pain after the treatment.

Gift certificates are available for services, and specials are offered monthly.

Point of Care Clinics Primary Care is owned by Dr. Nawaz (who specializes in dermatology and internal medicine) and his wife, Aliya Rathore, M.D., who is Board-certified in Family Practice with a special interest in women’s health care. Dr. Nawaz says he is pleased to offer Lynnda’s services under his supervision, which complement the office’s other practice areas.

“Lynnda is very competent and established as an aesthetician and laser practitioner,” says Dr. Nawaz. “She has proven her dedication to the people in this area, and we have a lot of common ground.” Lynnda adds that many of Dr. Nawaz’s dermatology patients are referred to her for treatments.

In addition to skin care and hair removal, Point of Care provides comprehensive primary care services to manage complex medical problems, including extensive dermatology disease management, diabetic management, complete physicals, well-woman visits and routine gynecological care.
