Laser, Chemical, Dermabrasion
Laser Peel
Laser resurfacing is performed using a beam of laser energy which vaporizes the upper layers of damaged skin at
specific and controlled levels of penetration. It's clear that laser resurfacing may offer a number of advantages
over other resurfacing methods: precision, little (if any) bleeding and less post-operative discomfort. However,
laser resurfacing isn't for everyone. In some cases, an alternative skin resurfacing treatment, such as dermabrasion
or chemical peel, may still be a better choice.
Chemical Peel
A chemical peel is a procedure that uses a chemical solution to peel away wrinkled, blemished, unevenly pigmented, or sun
damaged facial skin. The procedure is non-invasive and poses little risk. The result is softer, smoother, and more
youthful looking skin.
Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion may be the most appropriate option for patients with darker skin or for those who suffer from deeper
imperfections. The procedure uses a high-speed, hand held rotary wheel to remove the top layers of skin. Dr. Handler
will advise you which procedure is meant for you.
BOTOX®
No matter how well skin is preserved and pampered, everyone eventually develops facial wrinkles. Fortunately, there are a
number of options available to remove the lines that accompany aging. BOTOX® is perhaps the easiest of all these options.
BOTOX® is an extremely quick approach to soften or remove the natural wrinkles between the eyes (frown lines), on the forehead,
at the sides of the eyes (crow's feet), or at the base of the nose (glabellar frown lines). BOTOX® injections are customized
for every patient, depending on his or her particular needs. BOTOX® injections may be performed as a singular procedure or as
an adjunct to a surgical procedure.
Laser Hair Removal
Many people wish to remove body hair they consider troublesome or a cause of embarrassment. Advances in laser hair removal
systems can permanently remove hair from the face, back, bikini line, and virtually any other area of the body. By using the
light energy of a laser to disable the hair follicle, troubled areas of hair can become a thing of the past.
Lip Enhancement
When lips lack fullness or appear excessively thin or long, various procedures are utilized to give a fuller more beautiful
appearance. There are many types of injections that can be used, such as Restylane, Radiance, and Collagen. These injections
provide instantaneous results without any "down time." Results last months. More permanent results are provided by such procedures
as fat grafting and "lip lifts."
Restylane — Juvederm — Radiesse
Restylane® is an easy way to add volume and smoothness to your skin. Restylane® is based on a hyaluronic acid gel
that closely resembles the body's own hyaluronic acid. It is long lasting, but not permanent.
Juvéderm™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to
add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvéderm™ injectable gel under the skin to instantly restore
your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds.
Radiesse® is a safe, next generation dermal filler that does more than just fill in lines and wrinkles – it volumizes.
In fact, Radiesse® is setting a new standard in facial fold and wrinkle correction. This treatment restores a natural, youthful
look that lasts. In many patients, the results may last for a year or more.
