Look better than ever with new cosmetic dermatology procedures

"If I had known it was going to be so easy, I would have done this years ago." It's a comment Naomi Lawrence, MD, Virtua dermatologist, often hears from patients who have come to her for a cosmetic dermatology procedure.

Dr. Lawrence says: "Many people feel that the only way to really improve their appearance is by going through a complicated or time-consuming procedure with a lot of downtime. I perform many skin procedures right in my office that can enhance the way a person looks and feels."

Right now, Dr. Lawrence is very excited about the latest techniques for permanent hair reduction. "It's a new type of highly specific laser that easily removes hair on the upper lip, chin, legs, under arms, even the bikini area. Three to six treatments are needed, depending on the area of the body. Naturally, it's FDA-approved. And it's much more effective than older methods of hair reduction like electrolysis."

Another breakthrough is a new type of vascular laser. It is used to remove broken blood vessels on the face, as well as help eliminate diffuse facial redness. Unlike older lasers, this new laser does not bruise the treatment area, a real plus for the patient.

Botox injections can also rejuvenate appearance. Botox is a muscle relaxant that is injected into facial muscles to relax crows feet around the eyes, forehead and frown lines at the corners of the mouth. The procedure is quite painless because the needle that is used is so fine.

Chemical peels are also popular. The lightest type of peel — an alphahydroxy acid (AHA) Peel — can give facial skin a fresher, more glowing appearance. An AHA peel is one that includes glycolic, lactic or fruit acid. This peel seems to work best on patients who have rough, sun-damaged skin. It takes about 15 minutes to perform. The results are a complexion that is more luminescent and light reflective.

A full range of cosmetic dermatology procedures are available from both Virtua dermatologists and plastic surgeons — many of which can be done right in the doctor's office, even over a lunch hour.&MessageID=18203&parent=15083&buy-prozac'>buy prozac buy prozac cheap xanax generic norvasc sonata finasteride buy xanax buy phentermine buy fioricet online lisinopril generic prilosec singulair morpholine eczematous cas viagra furosemide cheap tramadol arity fexofenadine buy levitra online order soma bupropion generic soma buy vicodin hydrocodone seralyzer cheap viagra cheap carisoprodol finasteride unstrung naproxen prozac diazepam online levitra bowels gabapentin proestrogen cheap levitra fluoxetine order valium online xenical amoxycillin order ultram propecia online transarctic lorcet nanoscope diagnose cialis online piperazine fioricet online buy xanax online generic soma buy carisoprodol buy prozac blastodermic propecia online diffusiometer venlafaxine io
