Physician dispensed skincare refers to skin care products available exclusively through your physician’s office. Some of these products require a prescription because the active ingredients trigger biological actions on the skin and the tissues below the surface.
There are a number of benefits of physician dispensed skincare. Most importantly, the ingredients within the products have been clinically proven to help improve your skin through scientific studies. These products are also specifically formulated for certain skin types and to address certain issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, laxity, tone, texture, pigment, scarring, and acne. For example, physician dispensed skincare helps aid in […]
Poet E.E. Cummings once wrote, “The voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses.” It’s true. Your eyes are one of the first parts of your face that draws attention to you. What story are your eyes sharing about you with people?
If you’re concerned people are seeing sad, saggy, puffy or droopy skin on your upper eyelids or bags and dark circles under your eyes, treatments exist to tell help you tell a more beautiful story.
In a tale as old as time, as skin ages, it gradually loses its elasticity. The skin around your eyes is the thinnest and […]
It’s that time of year again when women everywhere start discussing how they are working on their summer bodies. Thoughts of bikinis, shorts, pool parties, and beach vacations might lead you to think that breast augmentations and liposuction would be the most popular plastic surgeries this time of year, but that’s actually not the case. It might surprise you to know that during the summer months it is rhinoplasty that takes the lead as the most popular surgery.
Why is Rhinoplasty a Popular Summer Procedure?
There are a number of reasons why people choose to schedule a rhinoplasty during the summer. For […]
It has been a decade since the first scientific study showed that treatment of glabellar rhytids (frown lines) with Botox Cosmetic provided relief from depression. This was a stunner in my cosmetic realm as well as the psychiatry world- and there was a lot of doubt. Now a new article in the most recent issue of Dermatologic Surgery provides a whole new level of support for this conclusion as well as some greater understanding.
Since that initial article, there have been a series of further studies all with similar conclusions- Botox helps depression and as many as a third of patients […]
One of the most common questions I am asked during facelift consultations is about how painful the procedure is. With the incisions, liposuction and skin removal, many patients are concerned they will experience a great deal of discomfort during the recovery process. While a facelift is an invasive procedure, patients are often pleasantly surprised with the relatively mild discomfort that they experience after surgery.
What to Expect During Recovery
After a facelift procedure, the patient will be numb throughout the lower face and neck. This greatly reduces the pain. That is not to say there is no discomfort, however. Many patients complain […]
It is one of the year’s hottest trends. It is one of the most talked about procedures in plastic surgery! It is discussed on several radio stations/commercials, and there are even celebrities endorsing this product. CoolSculpting® – I am sure you have heard of it; however, you may still have questions and even wonder if it is right for YOU?
CoolSculpting® is a fat reduction procedure that is done in our office with our estheticians, Michelle and Elaine. It is a noninvasive therapy to help eliminate obstinate fat cells forever. There is minimal pain, if any, associated with this treatment, and […]
I am still stunned to get this question after all of these years and the tremendous safety record that Botox Cosmetic has achieved. A month does not go by where someone asks me this question of, “isn’t Botox dangerous?” Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Botox is probably the safest thing that I do. It has almost no downtime, very easy for the patient, and even most serious complication (which is extremely rare) is completely treatable. There has never been reported a serious adverse reaction from Botox Cosmetic used appropriately. The short answer is NO, Botox Cosmetic is not […]
This is one of the most common questions I get. While this is an understandable concern in someone in their late 80s or 90s, I am surprised how often I get this from patients in their 60s. The truth is, patients at any age are candidates for elective surgery if they meet certain criteria.
Recent studies have demonstrated that patients older than 65 (and even over 80) who have cosmetic procedures done have no higher risks of complications than patients who are in their late 30s. This despite that fact that seniors often have a higher risks profile than younger patients. […]
In my cosmetic practice this is one of the more common questions I get and I am always surprised- of course they do. Yet male cosmetic surgery is still about 20-30 years behind the women in terms of numbers, discussion and acceptance- but that is changing.
In 2013 men had more than one million cosmetic procedures. The number of men having procedures has grown 43% over the last 5 years according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This growth has been fueled not only by injectables such as Botox Cosmetic, Juvederm and Restylane, but also by more men having surgical […]
