Ask Dr. LeRoy: “When Should I Get Laser Skin Resurfacing?”

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

Many cosmetic procedures come with an associated recommended age at which they should be performed. For example, many people begin facial injections as early as their twenties and thirties, while facelifts are often sought after following the forty year mark. However, when it comes to Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing, there is not an exactly pinpointed age as being more beneficial than another. Rather, as a double board-certified plastic surgeon, I like to assess the extent of the signs of aging present as well as your history of other cosmetic procedures when determining if Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing is right for you.

From here, the body’s natural healing responses work to create fresh, new cells.  This sequence encourages the skin’s capability of producing collagen, the structural fiber that provides the supple, even tone that often accompanies young skin.

Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing is not to be mistaken as being the same as traditional laser technology. Its Band Aid alternative not only uses a less comprehensive energy source, but also can produce visible cosmetic improvement in skin tone, surface texture, and evenness within a single treatment.  Similar to my other Band Aid Plastic Surgery procedures, Laser Skin Resurfacing is completed in-office with gentle numbing.

Whether my patients are receiving minimally-invasive treatments or a traditional facelift, I consistently recommend wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen every day (even going into cooler fall and winter seasons), abstaining from smoking and staying well hydrated to protect the skin and decelerate signs of aging.  To learn more about how you can maintain your plastic surgery results with the cosmetic procedures I perform, contact us to schedule your consultation.   Be sure to also connect with me, Dr. John L.

Embrace the Beauty of Change: Band Aid Plastic Surgery Featured in September Issue of Atlanta Magazine

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

Though summer truly winds down in August in the South due to school starting early, September is when it truly begins to feel like fall. Autumn décor that’s been hiding in closets since last November comes back out to line our porches. Trees that seemed they’d remain luscious and green forever just a few months ago will soon begin changing colors. As a double board-certified plastic surgeon, I embrace this type of change, applying it to my practice and encouraging my patients to as well.

After all, we all change over the years. We begin to see small lines crop up around the eyes as permanent reminders of our expressions over the years.  I firmly believe that plastic surgery does not have to make you look like a completely different person.  Rather, small procedures that tweak cosmetic concerns to help restore youthful confidence can actually make you look more like yourself.  Band Aid Plastic Surgery is an ideal way to do it without completely changing your appearance.  In this September’s issue of Atlanta Magazine, I’m sharing this message with others.

In this month’s issue, you’ll find a feature about my renowned Band Aid Plastic Surgery procedures. In the advertisement, we featured a woman who perceptibly has no worries or anxiety regarding her appearance.  She exudes confidence and timeless beauty. With Band Aid Plastic Surgery treatments such as Band Aid Facelift, patients often feel this feeling of confidence and inner peace due to a renewed outer appearance. Worries of aging signs seem to diminish with minimally invasive versions of comprehensive plastic surgery procedures.

Change isn’t something to fear, it’s something to embrace. View the piece below to learn more about some of the procedures I perform to help you reflect on the remarkable qualities that make your unique appearance your own. To learn more about Band Aid cosmetic procedures, contact us to schedule your cosmetic consultation.  You can also learn more about my minimally invasive procedures by connecting with me, Dr. John LeRoy, on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.
