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.

Acne Scar Treatments

For those with a limited number of wide superficial scars, fillers, such as Artefill (permanent), can be used with improvement seen immediately.  Dr. Hamilton is the American pioneer in Artefill treatments, having treated the first patients in the U.S. in 1997.

More extensive and deeper scars are treated very successfully with the Fraxel laser in a 5 treatment series that does not require any downtime.  Improvement is visible in most patients within approximately 4 weeks.

We treat many patients with acne scars, many of whom are quite severe and whose lives are markedly improved by these treatments.

We got our first question!

Someone inquired about our P-FAB technique (permanent filler augmentation of the buttocks).

Can this procedure be custom tailored to suit the desired shape of the buttocks? For instance, a rounder shape for men?

Our answer: Absolutely. Since this is done gradually, we can tailor it to the patient's wishes. The David Beckham, Shannon Brown, J-Lo or Beyonce P-FAB models are all in the showroom for a test drive and ownership!
