True or False: Understanding Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing
Aging is inevitable. As are the effects of aging and how the years can impact the quality of a person’s skin. Even people who go to great lengths to develop and maintain effective skincare routines will not be able to prevent common signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, and a dulled complexion. But that inevitability doesn’t mean that there aren’t outstanding cosmetic solutions available to help rejuvenate the skin and fight off these effects. Today, I wanted to go into detail about my signature Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing procedure by answering a few true and false statements on the subject.
True or False: I Might Only Need One Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment
This is true. While it is not a guarantee, many patients are able to achieve the facial rejuvenation they desire after just one treatment session. As new collagen continues to produce following your treatment, the results will become more pronounced in the days and weeks following treatment. We will discuss your specific needs and develop an appropriate treatment plan at your pre-treatment consultation appointment.
True or False: Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing Can Be a Substitute to Plastic Surgery
This is false. The benefits of Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments are not intended to replace or be a substitute for plastic surgery. Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing is unique among the procedures I perform in its ability to repair damage on the skin’s surface. In addition to making the skin smoother, it can also effectively address age spots, sun damage, and even improve scarring and acne that plastic surgery is not intended to treat. In fact, many patients utilize Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing after they have undergone a plastic surgery procedure like a facelift in order to maximize their results.
True or False: There Will Be No Downtime Required After Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing
This is false, but this downtime is short. Additionally, despite how powerful the anti-aging results can be from this treatment for the face, patients will be able to resume their normal daily activities as soon as one day, but will need at least a week before starting back any intense workout routines. Patients will experience some degree of facial redness (similar to a sunburn) (and some temporary oozing and crusting) after Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing, but this is minor and will fade in about a week or so following your treatment. It is also important to note that the patient will need to avoid sun until the face is fully healed at which time they can wear sunscreen. All of these details will be reviewed prior to treatment.
My Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing procedure can be an excellent solution for a wide variety of aesthetic issues. If you think that you might be a good candidate for this treatment, I advise you to reach out and inquire about a consultation to confirm if it’s the right fit for your needs.

Dr. John LeRoy Answers Your Questions About Arm Lift Surgery
When considering how to enhance the appearance with cosmetic surgery, the arms are an area that should not be taken for granted. Specifically, the upper arm area that can often be susceptible to deposits of unwanted fat and loose skin as we age and our bodies change. This is actually very common, and some people refer to this as the development of “bat wings” in their upper arms. Arm lift surgery can help, by removing unwanted skin, fat, and tissue from the upper arms to provide a more lean and trim arm contour. Today, I wanted to answer a few common questions about arm lift surgery to inform my readers on this cosmetic procedure.
Question #1: How Painful Is Arm Lift Surgery?
Worry about potential pain from the procedure should not be a determining factor for anyone considering arm lift surgery in my opinion. My staff and I do everything we can to make each arm lift procedure I perform as comfortable as possible for our patients. Whether the patient has chosen to undergo traditional arm lift surgery or my minimally invasive Band Aid Arm Lift (performed in my office using gentle numbing techniques), pain from the procedure is typically minimal and the recovery period is less daunting than many people realize.
Question #2: How Can I Tell If I Need an Arm Lift or Arm Liposuction?
This is simple. Making this determination depends on your specific aesthetic goals and the cause of your issue. If loose, stretched skin in the upper arms is your issue, an arm lift is the way to go. If you’re more concerned about fat that has accumulated in the area, and either don’t have loose skin or are not bothered by it, then liposuction may be preferable. These procedures can be combined together to provide the extensive body contouring results that some patients desire.
Question #3: If I’m Unsatisfied With The Results of a Previous Arm Lift, Is There Anything I Can Do?
Yes, there is such a thing as revision arm lift surgery. This is done to alter or correct the results of a previous arm lift procedure and make sure the patient has the chance to receive the results that they wanted in the first place. As long as enough time has past since the initial procedure for the body to fully heal and the final results to set in, you may be a good candidate for a revision arm lift procedure.
As with any cosmetic surgery, deciding whether or not to undergo an arm lift depends on many factors. The first step towards an answer is consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to learn more about the procedure and whether it’s the right fit for your needs.

Meet Our Band Aid Mini Facelift Patient: Diane
One of the greatest compliments that a plastic surgeon can receive is hearing from a patient who was willing to travel from out of the state to be treated at our practice. My staff and I always do everything in our power to deliver the best and most satisfying plastic surgery experience for all of our patients, but it does mean so much to us to know that someone would go so far out of their way and put this level of faith in the work that we do. In these instances, we pride ourselves on the notion that our patient will feel their trip to come visit us was more than worth the time and effort it took to get here. To illustrate this, I wanted to share a firsthand plastic surgery testimonial from Diane, a patient of mine who came to us all the way from Florida.
When I first spoke to Diane, we had a long conversation about facial rejuvenation and determined that she would be a good candidate for my signature Band Aid Mini Facelift procedure. In addition to the outstanding anti-aging results that this procedure can provide, Diane was intrigued by the reduced recovery time that she would have by opting for this minimally invasive facelift method. This was especially important to Diane, as an out-of-state patient who preferred not to stay in Atlanta for a longer recovery period. To hear how satisfied Diane was with her choice and the results of her procedure, hear it in her own words:
“I had my Band Aid Mini Facelift at the end of December! I am so pleased, Dr LeRoy, and his team are all wonderful people! The whole process was pretty painless and the rewards are awesome! I have very short hair, so I let it grow around my ears, but the lines are so fine nobody can tell. I look much younger and most of all a lot less tired. I traveled from Tallahassee for my procedure and it was never a problem. The whole staff responded to my call immediately if I had any questions. I would recommend Dr LeRoy to anybody! He’s very personable and calming. You won’t be sorry!”
Receiving such positive words from patients like Diane and knowing that future patients of ours will see this and know they are in good hands means everything to us here at the office.
