BOTOX® Cosmetic is a product used to treat forehead creases, fine lines and wrinkles near the eyes, and furrows between the brows. At our Fairfield County, Connecticut practice, we recommend BOTOX® treatment as a non-surgical alternative for patients who are seeking youthful looking skin without facelift surgery. BOTOX® treatments diminish or eliminate wrinkles by preventing muscle contractions. The injections are administered directly to the facial muscles that contract when we smile, squint, laugh, or frown. When these muscles are relaxed, wrinkles begin to flatten out and the skin takes on a softer, smoother appearance.
Patients who visit our Fairfield County, Connecticut practice for BOTOX® injections can expect to see improvement for as long as six months. For optimum results, follow up BOTOX® treatments will be necessary every three to four months.

As you age your skin reduces its production of a substance called hyaluronic acid, resulting in facial wrinkles and folds. JUVÉDERM® is a smooth-consistency hyaluronic gel that is injected under your skin to instantly smooth out these folds and wrinkles. JUVÉDERM®is used in the nasolabial folds, forehead lines, chin wrinkles, marionette lines, oral commissures, vertical lip lines and also to enhance the lips. Wrinkle correction with Juvéderm, used on both females and males, is a quick, in-office procedure with immediate results and no downtime. JUVÉDERM®is FDA approved to last up to 1 year.
Radiesse is calcium based dermal filler that can restore facial volume and correct wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Radiesse is a dermal filler that not only fills but volumizes and works with your body to stimulate new collagen. Results are immediate and results may last a year or more in many patients. Radiesse is a safe, FDA approved filler that restores a long lasting, youthful look. This is an office procedure with little or no down time, with most patients returning to normal activities soon after treatment.
Sculptra is a synthetic injectable material known as "poly-L-lactic acid", which is an injectable material that stimulates the body's own collagen to smooth out lines and wrinkles and replace volume in the face and cheeks. It is also beneficial in the treatment of recessed temple areas and deep scars. This material is biodegradeable (able to be broken down by the body) and does not harm the body. The results from Sculptra are not immediate. After the initial swelling goes down the treated area may look as it did before the treatment. It takes time to gradually increase skin thickness and correct depressions in the skin. Usually 2 - 3 treatments are required, with natural-looking effects becoming noticeable after approximately 6 weeks. Although it may take a longer period of time to achieve the improvement you are looking for, the results are natural and long lasting. Clinical studies have shown that the results of Sculptra can last for more than 3 years. This is an office procedure with little or no downtime.
The IPL laser will improve skin tone as well as treating multiple facial conditions such as pigmentation caused by sun damage, age spots, rosacea and spider veins. Recovery is quick allowing you to return to work with little or no downtime, and can be used on the face, neck, chest and other areas.
This non-invasive process causes unsightly vessels to fade in a few treatments or less. Following the treatment you may find that the vessels may disappear, darken or shrink and the surrounding skin may turn pick and be slightly swollen for up to 24 hours. A series of 4 treatments are recommended for ultimate results.
Our laser handpiece covers a much larger area than most lasers for the reduction of hair. Light is spread over a wider area of skin and allows for faster coverage of the skin and quicker treatments as a result. Areas that can be treated are legs, chest, back, underarms, bikini line and face. One of the nice benefits of our laser is that you do not have to let the hair grow out between treatments.
Acne scarring is treated with a non-a ablative laser handpiece to soften and reduce scarring. A series of 3 - 5 treatments are recommended depending on the severity of the scarring. Generally there is no recovery time, but you may experience a pinkish tone to the skin for 5 - 7 days.
This treatment utilizes a fractional laser handpiece to deliver light in an array of narrow, focused "microbeams", to create coagulation within the skin. These columns initiate a natural healing process that forms new, healthy tissue, resulting in improved skin appearance. This is used for wrinkling, acne scarring and on the face as well as most areas of the body including chest, arms and hands.
A fractional ablative laser is used for skin tightening, wrinkling and acne scarring. The laser directs thermal energy into the skin via hundreds of tiny "micobeams". Unsightly skin is selectively vaporized and within a few days is replaced with fresh healthy skin. Redness is to be expected, but usually after 4-7 days makeup can be applied. This is a perfect treatment for the deeper wrinkles and scars.
These treatments are used to smooth and refine the skin and to soften fine line and wrinkles. There is no recovery time with this treatment although the skin may be a little pink for a day. A series of treatment is usually recommended.
This is a series of 6 treatments, alternating between the Glycolic Peel and the Photo Facial, spaced 2 weeks apart. This is a wonderful treatment to smooth and refine the skin and also to remove redness, fine lines, brown spots, spider veins and rosacea.
Usually only one treatment is required with this peel. It will give you renewed skin and tightening and diminished brown spots. After the peel you will experience swelling, redness and peeling with a recovery period of about 7 - 10 days.
Microdermabrasion gently removes the upper layer of dead skin cells with a diamond-imbedded tip or gentle abrasive crystals, leaving the skin soft and smooth. Microdermabrasion gives the skin a renewed fresh tone, reduces enlarged pores and scars and gives a general improved appearance to the skin. A series of 6 treatments is recommended and no recovery time is required with this treatment.
