Last year, Band Aid Skin Tightening using Protégé technology made a valuable addition to the line of Band Aid Plastic Surgery procedures provided at my office.  Protégé’s unique Energy Flow Control (EFC) system reduces wrinkles and skin laxity of the face, neck, and chest to deliver safe and noticeable facial rejuvenation results. While skin tightening is widely recognized as an effective anti-aging solution, many of my patients may not be aware of its role in the maintenance of your results from other cosmetic surgery procedures.

Dysport Wrinkle TreatmentMost Band Aid Skin Tightening patients can expect to see results after the first treatment, with full results visible three to six months after your initial treatment. Though other skin firming technologies require the super-heating of skin to remodel collagen, Protégé precisely warms the deeper dermal layers to induce collagen production and tighten skin without patient discomfort. As an added benefit essential to your comfort, the technology has built-in safety features to guarantee that treatment levels flow steadily, efficiently, and pain-free.

Although no downtime or anesthesia is associated with Protégé treatment, I do encourage an increase in water consumption the day before and after treatment to avoid dehydration and show your results sooner. As an added bonus, you’ll be youthfully glowing from proper hydration!

In addition to enhancing and increasing the longevity of your procedure results, Band Aid Skin Tightening can benefit patients seeking more lasting wrinkle reduction results, comparable to facial injections. Additionally, skin tightening can improve your overall aesthetic when combined with conjunction facial procedures like rhinoplasty (nose surgery) or brow lift.

When considering skin tightening, seek the expertise and supervision of a board certified plastic surgeon that has facial skin tightening experience to elude treatment problems or less than desirable results.

New in Our Anti-Aging Lineup: JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC

, , , , , , , , , ,

As evidenced by his advocacy of minimally-invasive procedures like Band Aid plastic surgery, laser skin resurfacing, and skin tightening with Protégé technology, double-board certified plastic surgeon Dr. John L. LeRoy is a proponent of treating your problem areas before they become overly prominent. By taking a tiered approach to anti-aging, addressing issues little by little, natural-looking results are achieved without pain, discomfort, or downtime, creating an appearance of effortless beauty. Now, there’s a new game-changing product to be added to the lineup of anti-aging approaches used by Dr. LeRoy: JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC.

Before-and-After-JUVÉDERM®-VOLUMA®-XCAs the latest FDA-approved facial filler from Allergan®, JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC  is the first of its kind to address volume loss of the cheeks in three areas. This unique facial filler is an injectable hyaluronic acid volumizer that functions to add softness to areas that need support, enhancement, or a youthful perk. If you miss the youthful curve of your cheekbones and chin that naturally diminishes with age, VOLUMA® XC can bring it back by enhancing the overall contour of the face.

In just hours after your initial VOLUMA® XC treatment, you’ll see a fuller and rounder contour reminiscent of your youth. While there are a few fillers that provide substantial results in filling fine lines and wrinkles,  VOLUMA® XC is very effective for adding large-scale volume in areas such as the cheeks and chin. VOLUMA® XC was developed by Allergan® to make it easier to inject than other fillers that use hyaluronic acid, making a smooth and natural look possible for up to 18 months.

Pain and discomfort are no match for VOLUMA® XC. Due to the smooth consistency and 0.3% Lidocaine content, injection pain is greatly reduced for an easy, comfortable experience when administered by an experienced professional like Dr. LeRoy.
