Skin Treatments

CAF_More_Cover_small.jpgThe effect of aging, stress, and sun damage are often most obvious on a person’s skin. Many people also feel self-conscious about scarring, unwanted hair, moles, and unsightly veins on the skin. Our plastic surgery center offers a number of gentle, effective treatments that produce smoother, healthier skin without the need for surgery. Learn more about our cosmetic skin treatments below.

Injectables/Fillers

Injectable cosmetic fillers are a popular alternative to face lifts and other surgeries that aim to give patients tighter, younger-looking skin. Our cosmetic surgery center uses various injectables to reduce surface wrinkles and give skin a smoother, firmer appearance.

Using injectibles such as Juvederm, and Radiesse, Dr. Foster or Robin Hillary, RN (our resident Aesthetician), carefully injects a filler under the surface of the skin, causing fine lines and wrinkles to fill in and firm up the outer layer of skin. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections diminish fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles to reveal smoother skin with less visible lines. Patients also have the option of fat transfer, or fat grafting, in which excess fat cells are removed from one part of the body, such as the abdomen or buttocks, and injected into the treatment area. Our plastic surgery center also uses injectibles and fillers for lip augmentation and non-surgical cheek enhancement. If you would like to learn more about the injectibles used at our office and the results you can expect, contact us today.

Microdermabrasion

Many skin issues can be greatly improved through the removal of the damaged outer layer of the skin to reveal the fresher, healthier skin below. Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, non-chemical treatment that can improve skin affected by acne scars, fine lines, clogged pores, and more. This intensive exfoliating treatment removes dead, dull, and damaged surface skin and encourages the development of new skin cells. Patients enjoy smoother, more balanced complexions with a healthy glow. Multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired results.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are popular for treating patients with uneven skin tones, blemishes, and fine lines and wrinkles. Using an acid-based solution, a chemical peel improves the texture and tone of the skin by burning off the outer layer to reveal healthy, younger-looking skin when the damaged skin peels away. We offer a variety of chemical peels to serve patients with varying degrees of skin conditions and offer the most effective results with the least amount of irritation and peeling. To learn more about how chemical peels compare to microdermabrasion, and other cosmetic options, contact our office today. We would be pleased to answer any questions you might have.
