Microdermabrasion is a powerful new skin peeling technology which uses a stream of fine micro-crystals to gently exfoliate the skin revealing a new, fresh skin beneath. Microdermabrasion is one of the most exciting and sought after medical cosmetic procedures today. Microdermabrasion is indicated for treatment of the following:
Fine lines & wrinkles
Pigment irregularities
Age spots
Enlarged pores
Dry, sun-damaged complexion
Acne and acne scars
Stretch marks
Like many of our procedures, patients may have a microdermabrasion treatment and return immediately to work or play with minimal downtime required.
What is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent that blocks impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that are related to expression lines. Boxtox® relaxes the muscles so they do not contract. It works best on the wrinkles of the upper face such as crow's feet, frown lines and lines on the forehead.
With a very fine needle, Botox® is injected into the specific muscle that is contracting and causes the lines and wrinkles on the face. The treatment is effective, safe and takes a few minutes. The fine injections fell like a pin prick and no anesthetic is required. Immediately following treatment you may resume regular activities.
Boxtox® injections have been used safely and effectively for over ten years and they have become a popular treatment for reversing the visible signs of aging.
Laser Hair Removal
What kind of hair can be removed by hair removal laser?
Unwanted hair from virtually any part of the body can be removed by the hair removal laser. The most common areas requested are upper lip and chin hair in women, other facial hair in women, underarm hair, leg hair, bikini areas and back. On men ear and chest hair. The laser removes any type of hair from coarse to fine, from light brown to black. It does not work for gray hair.
How many treatments are necessary?
It is best to think of the treatments as a permanent reduction instead of permanent removal. Our bodies are dynamic and we may recruit more hair growth with time regardless of hair removal treatments. Only hair which is actively growing can be treated by laser hair removal. Depending upon the area, only 30 - 60% of hair is actually growing at any one time. Therefore, to be successful, patients should count on a series of treatments -- usually three to six-- to achieve the success for which they are looking.
How soon are results seen?
Results of laser hair removal are seen quickly. Following your first and every treatment thereafter, you will notice a decrease in unwanted hair.
Do I need a touchup after my unwanted hair removal is completely accomplished?
Since every person is different, and everyone has a unique hair growth pattern, it is not unusual to undergo one touchup treatment every once in a while, perhaps every six months or even every two years. Some people, though, may never need a touch up!
Are there any sun exposure restrictions during laser hair removal?
We advise avoiding the sun for all patients prior to and following any laser procedure. If the patient already has a tan, treatment needs to be postponed until the tan has faded.
Is laser hair removal appropriate for all areas of the face and body?
Yes, any area can be safely treated. However, the most common areas are the lips, face, neck, armpits, bikini, legs and arms.
Can men be treated with laser hair removal?
Absolutely, most commonly, the back and beard area, where they typically generate unsightly hair.
Laser Skin Foto-Rejuvenation
Who is a candidate? Can there be complications?
Laser Foto-Rejuvenation is not a face lift, but it can dramatically reduce wrinkles. It is especially effective for the difficult to treat lines above the lip and around the eyes. The treatment stimulates the production of collagen from the deep layer of the skin which provides facial tightening and greatly improves skin tone and texture. Acne scars can be improved also.
This is also a safe and effective treatment for redness, flushing, rosacea, sun damage, age spots, freckles and uneven pigmentation. The entire face, neck, and chest area can be remodeled by a series of gently pulsed, non-invasive light treatments, resulting in a more youthful appearing skin with no downtime.
Do I need to avoid sun exposure if I undergo laser therapy?
Yes. Prior to and following any type of laser treatment you need to limit your sun exposure as much as possible. Also, we will not perform laser therapy on artificially tanned or suntanned skin.
How many sessions are required for laser vein treatment?
That depends on the severity of the condition, but in general, three to four sessions spaced once every four to six weeks are typical. During your consultation, Dr. DeJuliis will develop your customized program.
Mesotherapy
Is Mesotherapy safe?
: It is one of the safest treatments available.
Are there any restrictions after each treatment?
None at all. One can resume regular activities immediately.
When can I expect results?
Since every patient is unique it's different for each individual. However, since mesotherapy is a very gentle treatment, typically, results can become noticeable after as few as four sessions.
Lipo-dissolve
Is the treatment painful?
No. Dr. De Juliis’ Lipo-dissolve formula is pH balanced and contains an anesthetic.:
When will I see results?
Each patient is different. In general, I tell my patients to wait at least for three sessions in one area, since right after the injections some patients might experience a slight swelling in the treatment area. This will resolve in just a day or two, but on occasion could last up to a week.
Is the treatment permanent or do I need touchups?
Touchups are not necessary as long as you do not gain weight. In my experience, many times patients are so happy with the results that they request other areas be treated.
Rosacea
What is Rosacea?
Rosacea (pronounced rose-ay-shah) is a condition affecting the skin of the face - mostly the area where people blush. It can be mild or severe and presents its self in different ways:
Redness - This can look like nothing more than a blush or sunburn.
Pimples - As a result of continual flushing, the skin eventually becomes irritated and inflamed and pimples may appear on the face. These pimples may be papules (small, red and solid) or pustules (pus-filled like teenage acne). This is why rosacea is often referred to as "adult acne" or "acne rosacea".
Broken or Enlarged Blood Vessels - Doctors call this telangiectasis (tell-an-jek-taz-yah). When people with rosacea flush, the small blood vessels of the face get larger - eventually showing through the skin.
Enlarged, Bumpy Nose - This condition is called rhinophyma (rhy-nofye-muh), and is present in more advanced stages of rosacea - especially in men.
The best treatment for rosacea is laser therapy, using a combination of intense-pulsed-light and yag laser.
Because rosacea can be mild or severe and everyone's face is unique, Dr. DeJuliis, after examining your condition will discuss with you the most appropriate treatment and the number of sessions required. Dr. DeJuliis will also provide you with a specially designed program to prevent future recurrence.
