November Specials to Add “Beautiful Skin” to the List of Things You’re Thankful For

, , , ,

The many holidays of fall and winter can be great opportunities to spend time with family and friends, but there’s no denying that the season comes with its stresses, too. After all, we’ve just finished Halloween, and it’s already time to start planning menus, decorations, and/or travel arrangements for Thanksgiving. If you’re on a tight schedule but still want to look your best for the holiday season, our November special offers on non-surgical treatments can help you get a younger look with little or no downtime.

For many of my patients, one of the most frustrating parts of aging is that it affects their appearance in so many ways – the face loses volume, wrinkles form, the skin becomes less firm, and age spots appear. That’s why Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing is so popular – because it addresses multiple aging-related concerns at once. Also known as DOT laser therapy, the procedure uses a precise laser to send tiny columns of laser light into your skin, which creates comprehensive results by helping the skin grow firmer, brighter, and more youthful while minimizing age spots, wrinkles, and even acne scars. Plus, leaving space between these tiny columns of light means you’ll need significantly less recovery time than earlier, more traditional laser treatments require.

Band Aid Skin Tightening

If your primary concern is the firmness of your skin, Band Aid Skin Tightening is another non-surgical way to look younger, typically with no downtime. This procedure uses the Protégé system to send controlled warmth to precise layers of the skin. The heat used during Band Aid Skin Tightening boosts your body’s production of collagen – a naturally-occurring component that gives our skin youthful firmness and elasticity.  While several treatments are typically needed, your results will continue to improve for weeks after your last session, and can last up to two years for many patients, so this procedure is also a great fit for those who want to refresh the results of a previous facelift.

Whether you’re hosting your family gathering or you’re traveling this Thanksgiving, remember to take time out for yourself during this busy time. To learn more or to start the journey toward becoming your most confident and beautiful self, schedule a consultation with Dr. John LeRoy.

May Brings Many Ways to Save on Facial Rejuvenation

, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Throughout more than thirty years as a plastic surgeon, I’ve found that one of the most common goals my patients have is to look younger. They still feel as vibrant and energetic as they did ten years ago, and they want their outward appearance to match. But even a basic knowledge of cosmetic treatments makes it clear that there isn’t one particular way for patients to achieve this goal—the options span from noninvasive treatments to injections to surgical procedures like my Band Aid Facelift. That’s because every patient is unique; their skin tone, aesthetic goals, signs of aging, and medical needs all impact which procedure I recommend. As a reflection of this, our May specials offer savings on a number of treatments, all of which are geared toward facial rejuvenation.

We all know that as we age, our skin loses its firmness and elasticity, and gravity causes it to sag. A facelift is a highly effective way to correct this problem, but for patients who aren’t yet ready for surgery or those who are seeking to maintain the results of their facelift, Band Aid Skin Tightening can be an ideal solution. The cutting-edge Protégé system sends precisely controlled heat into the deeper layers of the skin. This triggers the body’s production of collagen, the protein that gives skin its youthful firmness. As the collagen continuously develops, the treated skin becomes more firm and wrinkles become smoother, leading to a naturally refreshed look.

Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing

Besides lax skin, another common sign of aging is the development of age spots—small spots where sun exposure over time has made the skin darker than the surrounding skin. Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing is unique because it addresses both age spots and wrinkles, as well as acne scarring. Like Band Aid Skin Tightening, this procedure stimulates the body’s natural collagen production process, which has slowed down with age. The DOT Therapyâ„¢ laser sends precisely controlled columns of laser light into the skin while leaving the surrounding skin intact. As a result, the refreshed collagen creates a smoother, more youthful complexion, yet the healing time needed is minimal.

Cosmetic Facial Injections

Perhaps some of the best-known methods for facial rejuvenation are cosmetic facial injections. Botox® and Dysport® are wrinkle-reducing medications that relax the targeted muscles in the faces. This smooths the creases and winkles that have formed as a result of the muscle being contracted or furrowed from years of facial expressions. Dermal fillers like Restylane® and Juvéderm®, on the other hand, restore the youthful volume that is naturally lost from the face as we age. In some cases, these fillers can also be used to subtly plump the lips. Starting on May 1st, 2015, patients can earn special savings on their Dysport® and Restylane® treatments through the new ASPIRE Galderma Rewards program.

As a double board-certified plastic surgeon, my priority is making sure that you get the best treatment possible. It’s important to balance great results with safety and recovery time, and to find the procedure or treatment that balances each of these priorities.

Atlanta Magazine Features Band Aid Procedures for the Full Face

We all have our “problem areas” when it comes to aging—parts of our appearance that seem to have aged faster than everything else and make us feel self-conscious. Part of the reason that I created my line of minimally-invasive Band Aid procedures, is so that each patient could focus on their own problem areas without the downtime of a more comprehensive procedure than they need. The diagram below illustrates which procedures may be best suited to your specific rejuvenation needs.

band aid plastic surgery atlanta gaA Band Aid Brow Lift is a procedure that minimizes signs of aging around and above the eyebrow. Forehead creases and drooping eyebrows are rejuvenated by removing excess skin and giving the area a firmer, more youthful look.

Band Aid Eyelid Surgery, also called Band Aid Blepharoplasty, can either remove sagging skin that causes the eyelids to have a hooded appearance, or it can smooth puffy under-eye bags. The procedure can also combine both upper and lower eyelid surgery for more comprehensive improvement.

A Band Aid Facelift can restore youth to different areas of the face depending on where the incision is made—under the chin, above the ears, or at the nape of the neck.

Unlike most other Band Aid procedures, Band Aid Skin Tightening is entirely non-surgical. The Protégé skin tightening system uses precisely controlled heat energy to stimulate collagen production in the skin, resulting in progressive skin firming and wrinkle reduction.

The basis of all our innovative Band Aid procedures is customization. Every patient is unique, and deserves a procedure that will allow them to become their most confident and beautiful selves without the risks and downtime of a surgery that’s more extensive than they need.

Age Gracefully with Non-Surgical Rejuvenation Treatments

, , , , , , , ,

As a double board certified plastic surgeon, I frequently meet with patients who feel “stuck in the middle”—they’re unhappy with the effect that aging has begun to have on their appearance, but their aging has not progressed enough to warrant a facelift. Fortunately, patients who fall into this category aren’t “stuck.” In fact, I offer several treatments that provide noticeable anti-aging results with an even gentler touch than my minimally-invasive Band Aid surgical procedures.

LeRoy_Mar2015_FinalOne of my more popular non-surgical treatments is Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing. The DOT laser allows me to have precise control while sending columns of light into the skin. These columns of light gently perforate and remove damaged tissue from the outermost layer of skin while simultaneously increasing the body’s production of collagen. This new collagen causes the surface skin to become smoother and firmer, so that signs of aging (such as fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots) are minimized and the face has a natural but rejuvenated appearance. As a bonus, this procedure can be performed in my office with only gentle numbing, so the recovery time is minimal.

A second non-surgical procedure that can successfully take years off a patient’s appearance is Band Aid Skin Tightening. Unlike Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing, this treatment is non-ablative, which means that the surface skin is not removed or perforated, so it can be performed in my office with no anesthesia or downtime. By utilizing a unique energy flow control (EFC) system called Protégé, controlled heat energy is sent precisely into the targeted skin. This enhances the skin’s natural production of collagen, which makes the skin firmer and greatly diminishes the appearance of lax, aging skin and wrinkles.

Procedures like these, which are non-surgical and either minimally-invasive or non-invasive, can put an end to the waiting game for patients who are experiencing enough aging to make them unsatisfied with their appearance, yet not enough to make a Band Aid Facelift necessary. By using treatments like Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing and Band Aid Skin Tightening, patients can maintain a look that makes them feel confident and beautiful while delaying the need for more extensive plastic surgery. To learn more about the many procedures I offer for patients at all points on the aging spectrum, follow me, Dr. John L. LeRoy, on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, or schedule a consultation with me to discuss the best way to help you be your most confident self.

Celebrate February with Facial Rejuvenation Specials

“Nobody can really believe now what my age is! I am very pleased with Dr. LeRoy’s work and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is considering having some facial work done.”

“Everyone treated me with the utmost respect and concern through the entire process from my before picture all the way to the after picture.  Dr. LeRoy made me feel very comfortable about the procedure and was very clear about what I should expect.  He listened to what I was wanting and his “craftsmanship” showed in the results.  I am very happy with my decision and would highly recommend Dr. LeRoy to any of my friends.  Thank you again!”

My focus is on helping my patients be their most confident selves. In most cases, this involves one or more procedures that rejuvenate the face. After all, our face is typically the first feature that others notice about us, and it’s also the first feature we notice about ourselves when we look in the mirror, so having a face you feel attractive in can be a powerful confidence-booster.

While I do see many patients for my signature Band Aid Facelift, many of my patients are not yet in the “facelift” stage of their lives. For example, one of my loyal long-time patients  began working with me twelve years before a Band Aid Facelift fit her needs. Therefore, to provide an opportunity for those who are not yet in need of a facelift but don’t know about their many other options, my February specials highlight non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
