Give 2016 a Beautiful Start with Our January Specials

, , , ,

The new year is a perfect opportunity to hit pause and assess what we want from our lives and how much progress we’ve made toward our goals. For my plastic surgery patients, one of their goals is to feel more confident in their appearance and less burdened by self-consciousness. If you want to head into 2016 feeling happier with your look, my January specials may be able to help you achieve the results you’re looking for.

Many of my patients have already heard that laser treatments can rejuvenate the skin, but during my Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing procedure, this effect is achieved with less downtime and a more natural-looking result than more traditional laser resurfacing. By sending the laser light into the skin in a pattern of tiny dots, Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing is able to boost your body’s collagen production and minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and other imperfections while leaving the areas of skin between the dots untouched. This leads to an overall younger look and less downtime than traditional laser resurfacing procedures.

Band Aid Skin Tightening

Sagging facial skin doesn’t happen overnight; it develops slowly over the years. If you have enough skin laxity to make you self-conscious but not enough to need a facelift or a Band Aid Facelift, my Band Aid Skin Tightening may be the ideal choice. The procedure uses controlled warmth to help your skin rebuild firming collagen, allowing your skin to gradually look younger with no incisions, needles, or lasers.

Latisse® Eyelash Enhancement

For those whose cosmetic struggles have less to do with aging and more with inadequate lashes, Latisse® eyelash enhancement may be a surprisingly simple solution. While it must be prescribed by a select few types of medical professionals such as a board-certified plastic surgeon like me, Latisse® is a topical medication you can apply in your own home on a nightly basis. By adjusting your lashes’ growth cycles, the treatment causes them to become longer, fuller, and darker.

The start of a new year is an exciting time when we look at the coming months and consider all the possibilities they hold, but as I’ve seen first-hand, self-consciousness can quickly put a damper on optimism. I look forward to another great year of helping you become your most confident and beautiful self. Happy New Year!

Save Time and Money with September Specials

, , , ,

For the right patient, plastic surgery like the Band Aid Facelift can make a powerful difference in their life, giving them the opportunity to enjoy the confidence of a youthful appearance. But those four little words, “for the right patient,” are crucial. As a double board certified plastic surgeon, I’ve met many patients who are unhappy with their early signs of aging, but who haven’t seen enough sagging skin and volume loss to warrant the recovery time, expense and scarring that comes with cosmetic surgery. For these patients, the non-surgical procedures that are featured in our September specials can provide the perfect balance between the results themselves and the amount of patient commitment that’s necessary to achieve them.

John LeRoy MD Atlanta plastic surgeon specialsBand Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing sends tiny beams of light into the targeted skin. This causes the body to produce more collagen—the natural protein that gives the skin its youthful firmness and elasticity. As a result, wrinkles diminish, skin gets subtly firmer, and both facial scarring and age spots fade, creating an overall younger and more refreshed look. Plus, because the laser is made of small, separated light beams, there’s less of an impact on the surface skin, which allows for a shorter recovery time.

Band Aid Skin Tightening is a non-surgical and minimally invasive treatment which, as its name suggests, focuses on tightening skin of the face and neck that has begun to sag with age. The Protégé system uses precisely controlled heat to warm the deeper layers of the skin. This enhances the body’s natural collagen production, creating results that can last for as long as two years, depending on the patient’s aging process. While a series of treatments is needed for optimal results, Band Aid Skin Tightening requires no downtime or anesthesia.

Cosmetic Facial Injections are one of the most popular ways to address fine lines and wrinkles. Botox® and Dysport® reduce wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes by relaxing the facial muscles beneath the skin that have become tense after years of repeated expressions. Facial fillers, on the other hand, are best for smoothing wrinkles around the mouth, nose, and chin area because the replace the youthful volume that has naturally been lost with age. However, both types of injections offer the advantage of convenience, because the procedure can take as little as 10-15 minutes and there is no downtime required.

All of these non-surgical cosmetic treatments can be great options, whether you’re combatting the early signs of aging or want to maintain and put the finishing touches on the results of facial plastic surgery. Ultimately, though, choosing the right procedure and the right healthcare provider to administer it are both key steps in getting the best possible results without unnecessary cost or recovery time.

Repair Your Summer Sun Damage with August Specials

, , , , ,

Summer is beginning to draw to a close, as are the fun days spent lounging on the beach, hiking through the mountains, or enjoying another summer excursion. But as much as we all love spending time outdoors, most people are not as vigilant about sun protection as they should be. Besides the risks sun exposure can pose to our health, it can also significantly accelerate the aging process. While skin damage can’t be undone, there are several ways to address the signs of premature aging and to get you back to looking like a younger you, and our August specials can help.

During this non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedure, tiny columns of laser light are used to stimulate your natural growth of collagen—the protein that gives the skin youthful firmness and elasticity. The increased collagen can minimize fine lines and wrinkles throughout the treatment area. When acne scars or other facial scarring is treated with Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing, the laser breaks up the scar tissue and allows the refreshed collagen to give the scar a smoother, less noticeable appearance. As an added bonus, the laser treatment can break up the pigments in age spots, resulting in a more even, younger complexion.

Band Aid Skin Tightening

For patients who prefer to focus on lax or wrinkled facial skin, rather than on age spots and acne scars, Band Aid Skin Tightening is a non-surgical way to make the skin firmer. Like laser treatments, this procedure causes the skin to develop more collagen, but it uses a different method. Band Aid Skin Tightening uses the Protégé system to send targeted warmth into the deeper layers of the skin. Because the collagen continues to develop long after the treatment has ended, results progressively improve for as long as three to six months after the treatment plan is complete.

While many patients find success with these and other non-surgical procedures (like microdermabrasion, cosmetic facial injectables, and chemical peels), those who are looking for a more significant change in their appearance are often a better fit for a minimally-invasive cosmetic surgery, like the Band Aid Facelift, or for a more comprehensive procedure like the traditional facelift.
