Fraxel Re:store is Safe for Patients of Color

June 8th, 2009

 We are grateful to everyone who allows the sharing of their images before and after treatment. We often get requests to show more images of people of color who undertake the most popular treatments such as Fraxel skin resurfacing.

We are proud to show the before and after images of a 66 year old man with a history of acne when younger. As he matured, the acne became more noticeable.

He wanted a procedure which would improve the texture and quality of his skin without damaging his pigmentation or give him a patchy tone to his skin.

After a series of five Fraxel re:store treatments, his pigment became even a smooth and the deep textural scarring was softened.

Our office is starting our fifth year with Fraxel re:store skin laser resurfacing with good improvement in people of color. Out treatment protocols have been tested over time. Dr. Szachowicz teaches as a consultant for Fraxel on both the re:store and re:pair skin resurfacing lasers.

A woman was making no progress in interviews while job hunting in New York City. So, in a report for television, she stopped into a cosmetic surgeon’s office for a series of rejuvenating injections, and within a week was offered a job. Same qualifications. An interview with the job interviewer stated that she appeared well-groomed. As an aside, she was told by other interviewers that ‘she sounded like a younger person on the phone.
  
A recent weekend television segment showed a “career seeker” liquid facelift.

This is a before and after result of a 40-minute series of 5 treatment syringes of Restylane placed in key areas of the face: brows, under eyes, lips, mouth region and chin.

Indeed, everyone in her office responded in a positive way to her ‘Liquid Rejuvenation.’ There is very little discomfort in the treatment & the results are immediate and very gratifiying. Today, some injectables may last up to a year. With Sculptra, which requires a series of 4 treatments, the results last 18 months or longer.

Control the Aging Process

February 7th, 2008

OrangesOne of the best ways to slow down the aging process is by eating colorful foods! Choose at least three colors on your plate for lunch and dinner. These fruits and vegetables are packed with disease-fighting, body strengthening antioxidants. When combined they work synergistically to further enhance their benefits which in turn help you look and feel better about your appearance and health. Remember green for cancer fighting/eye protecting nutrients, yellow/orange for immune-enhancing beta carotene/resists carcinogens, reds are loaded with lycopene/ heart and blues and purples to keep your memory as well as resist some cancers.
