Nonsurgical Procedures

Thread Lift

Eligible Candidates

Candidates for nonsurgical procedures are patients with a wide range of aesthetic and rejuvenation goals. Overall, candidates should be in good health and possess a commitment to living a healthy lifestyle. Smoking, for instance, works in opposition to the benefits of many anti-aging treatments. Body contouring procedures are meant to supplement and enhance a healthy diet and exercise regimen, not replace it entirely. Patients should also have realistic expectations. In some cases, a surgical procedure might produce more dramatic results. Whether a surgical or nonsurgical procedure suits your lifestyle, the best can be determined during a personal consultation.

List of Nonsurgical Procedures 

Aquagold Microneedling 

Aquagold microneedling is the latest innovation in the time-tested practice of microneedling. Microneedling uses tiny pins to make micro-punctures in the skin. This initiates a process of regenerating collagen production. Collagen is an essential ingredient in healthy skin. As we get older our collagen production diminishes. Microneedling helps reverse this trend. Aquagold adds 24-carat gold micro needles which allow for greater effectiveness.

BioTE Hormone Therapy 

BioTE hormone therapy is an innovative way to manage the hormonal changes that come with age. Women go through menopause and men go through andropause. BioTE hormone therapy helps restore a healthy balance to your hormonal levels. With a consultation Rotemberg Plastic Surgery can assess your situation and recommend the best formulation to meet your needs. BioTE therapy can boost energy levels, increase libido, aid with better sleep, and reduce symptoms from menopause and andropause.

Botox 

Botox is the most popular nonsurgical aesthetic treatment in the world. It’s been around for decades and built up a well-earned reputation for smoothing away wrinkles and preventing new wrinkles from forming. Botox comes from a class called neuromodulators. Neuromodulators interrupt the communication between the nervous system and facial muscles. This interruption leads to relaxed facial expressions while preventing the formation of new wrinkles.

Chemical Peels 

Chemical peels aim to rejuvenate the skin by peeling away the outer layer of dead cells, allowing young vibrant skin cells to rise to the surface, and promoting the generation of new collagen and elastin to restore vigor to the skin to create a radiant, youthful appearance. Rotemberg Plastic Surgery can customize the chemical peel treatments to your skin tone and skin texture.

CoolSculpting 

The coolest new trend in body contouring is CoolSculpting. It’s been around for a decade but has recently been earning plaudits for being a safe and effective way of reducing unwanted bulges and sculpting the body.

HydraFacial MD
