minimally invasive

Many of my patients are requesting minimally invasive procedures to get a refreshed look for summer from the comfort of my office. Due to COVID-19 and its spread, many patients want to stay away from hospitals and invasive procedures. That is why I, Dr. John LeRoy, have put together this list of minimally invasive facial procedures so that you can get a glowing look for summer from the safety of my comfortable, yet heavily sanitized office.

Band Aid Procedures

My band aid procedures are modifications of more invasive cosmetic procedures. I offer a band aid mini facelift, band aid blepharoplasty, band aid brow lift, band aid laser skin resurfacing, and band aid lip augmentation, to name a few. These cost-effective procedures are performed in-office using gentle numbing. Because band aid procedures are minimally invasive, you will recover faster and be able to get back to your routine as soon as possible.

Fractionated Laser Skin Resurfacing

Our fractionated laser skin resurfacing utilizes DOT technology to rejuvenate the skin. This rejuvenation technique activates your body’s natural healing responses and causes your skin to repair itself with new cells. This treatment can be applied to many different parts of the body; however, it is commonly applied to the facial and neck area. This option is great for patients who want to see gradual improvement over several months.

Facial Injections

I offer a variety of facial injections including facial fillers to plump skin and preventative treatments such as Botox® and Dysport® to slow the effects of prominent wrinkles. Cosmetic injections can help to fill in sallow areas of your skin, plump thinning lips, and tighten the face overall without changing any of your underlying facial structure. As a double-board certified plastic surgeon, I aim to provide my patients with subtle, natural results. Some of the fillers I offer in-office include: Restylane®, Juvéderm®, Juvéderm Voluma® XC, Restylane® Lyft, and Radiesse®. For those looking to minimize lines caused by excessive facial movements, Botox® and Dysport® may be right for you. These facial injections relax the muscles and cause your face to be more relaxed, reducing wrinkles over time.
