Sculptra - new filler with a big promise!


We have now interesting experience with Sculptra. It seems to be a good choice for some.
The first facial injectable that gives you noticeable results that emerge subtly and can last up to 2 years (studies that were done were 25 months from last injection). Sculptra Aesthetic is long lasting. Not a quick-fix, it works by replacing lost collagen. Giving you a more natural-looking appearance, without giving you away. A full treatment of Sculptra Aesthetic is an average of three injection sessions over a few months. The number of injection sessions and the number of injections per session vary from person to person. It helps to replace lost collagen. It helps correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles, and folds, that appear with aging by replacing lost collagen. The main ingredient is a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic material that has been used by physicians for decades.

New Botox - is it time?

Medicis corporation announced approval of Dysport. This is a new product directly competing with Botox. As a plastic surgeon I sincerely welcome addition of this new product. For years Botox was the only choice for temporary active wrinkle reduction. Healthy competition s always a good thing! However, I am not sure how soon I will feel comfortable recommending this new product to my patients. There is just not enough USA experience. Stay tuned! In the meantime this should help our patients by lowering prices of Botox

Fractional CO 2 Laser skin resurfacing

In the continuing quest of facial rejuvenation, our practice is now offering the fractional CO2 laser technology. Laser skin resurfacing with the traditional CO2 laser was and still is the gold standard for skin tightening and improvement in pigmentation and texture. Unfortunately, this older treatment resulted in many side effects and complications. Today we offer this same wavelength of light, CO2 modified in a fashion which gives us similar improvements in the skin with many less complications and less down time for our patients. By allowing beams of laser light to enter the skin in a fractional manner, normal skin all ways surrounds each of the laser treated columns of skin. This results in faster healing, but still delivers the CO2 wavelength to the skin. Schedule a free consultation to determine if this is the treatment for you.

Evolence new type of filler!

It looks like Evolence is becoming a filler of choice for the busy individuals that cannot afford even a smallest interruption of their busy schedule. Bruising swelling is minimal if any. I have been using it for several months now and it seems to be very predictable and safe
