What is cosmetic dermatology?

Cosmetic Dermatology is the non-invasive component of cosmetic treatments (no cutting involved). It includes some of the following treatments:

    - Fillers/Injectables (Botox, Dysport, Restylane, Juvederm, Artefill, etc.) for expression lines,

    - Lasers (Fraxel, C02, IPL photofacial) for wrinkles, broken capillaries and acne scars,

    - Chemical Peels (revitalize the skin, remove fine lines, age spots),

    - Sclerotherapy (spider or varicose vein treatment),

    - Thermage for skin tightening, and

    - Coolsculpting and Ultrasound for fat removal.

Surgery is required for only 2 issues:

    1. Removal of bulging low eyelid fat pads and excess upper lid tissue,

    2. Sagging neck & cheek skin.
All other problems are NOT treated by surgery.
