Cosmetic Dermatology:                    The changes that underlie the process of facial aging are an inevitable fact of life.  As newer products are marketed, more options become available to tailor treatment to meet patients’ needs.  However, the effectiveness of these products depends on the physician's ability to both recognize the changes associated with the aging face, select the most appropiate treatments and skillfully administer them. Correcting facial aging requires a global, artistic approach rather than simply “filling in” a few lines. To accomplish this, we often use either alone or in combination a muscle relaxer such as Botox, a volume expander such as Sculptra or Radiesse, wrinkle fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm, and topical prescription-strength rejuvenation systems such as Obagi Nu-Derm. We have our patients come in for a Cosmetic Consultation. During this cosmetic assessment, your concerns and goals of treatment are discussed as well as an explanation of what can be accomplished using the latest treatments. We also provide comprehensive advice on home skin care regimens to help you maintain a more youthful appearance. We recommend and carry Obagi Medical Systems and SkinCeuticals and Topix Pharmaceuticals products. We offer all of the services below.  For your convenience, Each Treatments listed below has its own page with a full description.  Wrinkle Fillers & Lip Enhancement  - Treatment of superficial lines throughout the face as well as giving lips a fuller, more youthful appearance using Restylane & Juvederm or Cosmoplast Non-Surgical Facial Sculpting - Stimulatory fillers using Radiesse or Sculptra Laser Hair Removal and Cosmetic Procedures - Permanent hair removal on any area of the body using our new state-of-the-art GentleLASE Alexandrite laser.
