Freshen your face today without surgery!

April 25th, 2011

We have recently added Pelleve treatments to our cosmetic treatment program. Pelleve is a radiofrequency treatment that produces smoother, tighter skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. (It is an FDA cleared treatment.) It works by heating the deep layers of your skin which causes collagen in your skin to contract. The results is an improvement in skin quality, firmness and tightness you can see and feel. You may see results immediately after one treatment with improvement lasting for up to 6 months. There is no anesthesia or downtime. The procedure will cause a deep warming sensation in the area of the skin being treated. No anesthetic is required. For further information, schedule a consultation for Pelleve and Dr. Prystowsky will tell you more about it.

Skin Care Before You Get in the Sun:

March 15th, 2011

It will not be long before the warm weather arrives!  Now is a great time to get laser hair removal from areas that bother you such as the the underarms, bikini and legs for women and the back and shoulders for men.  Adding suction to the hair laser treatments has reduced the discomfort for many patients.   If you previously tried laser hair removal and abandoned it due to discomfort  consider signing up for the new approach to laser hair removal!  Once your skin gets tan, the procedure will have to wait until the tan fades, so this is to do before you go out in the sun, even if you wear sunscreeen.

What about those spider veins?  Laser and sclerotherapy for spider veins should be done before the end of April so that most of the discoloration from treatment has a chance to fade before it is time for shorts and bathing suits.
