Weiler Plastic Surgery
Hammond Skin Rejuvenation - Non-Surgical / Skin Care
If plastic surgery isn't right for you, we also offer non-invasive options to restore youthfulness and beauty to your skin. See below for the many alternatives to surgery offered at our Hammond practice.
Botox® or Dysport Injections
Botox Cosmetic is an FDA approved treatment which is injected into the muscles which cause moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. After the injections, you will notice improvement in these frown lines within days and the results can last up to 4 months.
Fillers – Juvederm, Restylane and Perlane
Juvederm, Restylane and Perlane are FDA approved to safely correct wrinkles and folds around the no
se and mouth, also commonly referred to as smile lines, Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines. They contain a smooth consistency gel that helps to fill in your lines and wrinkles. Additionally these fillers are free from animal proteins which eliminate the risk of allergic reactions.
Laser Hair Removal
Removing unwanted hair on your own can be very time consuming and even painful. If you are tired of shaving every day or you are finished with getting wax treatments, you may be a great candidate for laser hair removal. We use a rapid and gentle laser technique to destroy hair follicles in your problem area. While only one treatment can produce some long term results, it is always recommended to return for multiple treatments to experience the best results.
Spider-Vein Treatment
Laser technology today lets us perform laser vein removal faster and more effective without rupture or extensive bruising. This permanent laser technique provides an easy solution with very minimal discomfort. The most common areas for vein removal are in the face and legs.
Chemical or Micro Peels
A chemical or micro peel involves the application of a light chemical to exfoliate your skin. This procedure will help improve the softness and brightness of your skin. Additionally, micro peels will help diminish large pores and discoloration of the skin. Additional treatments along with a comprehensive skin care program are recommended to experience the best results.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
In laser resurfacing, sometimes called "laser peel," a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is used to remove areas of damaged or wrinkled skin, layer by layer. The procedure is most commonly used to minimize the appearance of fine lines, especially around the mouth and the eyes. However, it is also effective in treating facial scars or areas of uneven pigmentation. Laser resurfacing may be performed on the whole face or in specific regions.
Retin-A Treatments
In general, Retin-A® is most effective in older patients who have some fine facial wrinkles, or blotchy pigmented areas caused by sun damage. However, Retin-A® is often prescribed to younger, active individuals who want to combat the aging effects of sun exposure. Patients who are planning to have a chemical peel treatment are often instructed to use Retin-A® as a preparation treatment; Retin-A® thins the skin's outer layer, allowing the solution used in a peel treatment to penetrate more deeply and evenly.
Port-Wine Stain Removal
Most often found on the face, neck or scalp, port-wine stains are irregular shaped birthmarks made up of tiny blood vessel malformations. Port-wine stains are often light pink, red or dark-violet in color and tend to darken with age. Today, laser technology provides an efficient and successful way to reduce and lighten these stains.
