Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  Depending on patient specific factors, Botox and Botox-like products can last for 3-6 months. Because the body eventually absorbs them, injectables are temporary. But with regular touch-ups, over time you may need less product and less frequent treatments. Come check us out in our convenient Philadelphia Location today!

• Scar Revision
• Laser Resurfacing
  Also known as laser skin rejuvenation or laser peel, the carbon dioxide (CO2)  laser removes deep layers of damaged skin with short, pulsating beams of light, causing healthy skin to be regenerated. Laser resurfacing is a minimally invasive treatment and can be targeted to specific small areas of the face or the entire face. With CO2 laser facial resurfacing, you’ll enjoy long-lasting results.

• Dermabrasion
  Acne scars respond well to dermabrasion. Dermabrasion is a superficial surgical technique for reducing acne scars by removing the topmost layers of scarred skin, leaving it supple and vibrant. Removing the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and a portion of the inner (dermis) layer of skin promotes new collagen growth.Depending on the severity and depth of facial scarring to be treated, dermabrasion can be done superficially or deeply. It can even be coupled with a laser resurfacing procedure with a fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, the most up-to-date and innovative technique to remove facial scarring and rejuvenate sun-damaged facial skin.Only one dermabrasion procedure is needed and results can last for more than ten years. Typically there is one to two weeks of downtime depending on how deep the resurfacing was performed.

• Eczema
  Are you bothered by itchy, red patches on your face, hands or other areas? You may have eczema, a very common skin disease affecting all ages, from babies to adults. Over 30 million Americans have some form of eczema, an inflammatory reaction that causes patches of dry, itchy skin that can appear anywhere on the body. Whether it’s hereditary or an allergic reaction, we can help reduce the irritation and the appearance with topical creams and medications.

Depending on the severity of your skin issues, your skin type, your availability and your desired outcome, we’ll discuss which facial peel is right for you.
• Skin Care
  Acne and acne rosacea are common problems that plague both women and men in their 20’s and beyond. (And you thought you would outgrow it!) Routine medical treatment of these disorders is covered by insurance. However, if you have been unresponsive to routine therapies, then superficial chemical peelings, or Isolaze treatments may help you. We can also educate you about lifestyle changes and skin care routines that will improve your condition.
• Psoriasis
  Psoriasis is a chronic disease. It develops when a person’s immune system sends faulty signals that tell skin cells to grow too quickly. New skin cells form in days rather than weeks. Because the body does not shed these excess skin cells the skin cells pile up causing patches of psoriasis to appear. Fortunately, there are many more treatment options today than even ten years ago. The treatment of psoriasis is getting more successful, with less side effects than ever before. Schedule a consultation with one of our doctors to discuss the following treatment options
