BOTOX® Cosmetic Injections*

"Botox Long Island, Botox Injections Long Island"Dynamic wrinkles are caused by contractions of the delicate underlying facial muscles every time you smile, laugh or frown. The more emotion you show, the deeper these wrinkles and lines are likely to be. While you may have earned every one of your worry lines, you don't have to show them anymore. Dr. Schlessinger has been using BOTOX® Cosmetic for almost 15 years for both cosmetic and functional treatment.  Approved by the FDA for cosmetic use, BOTOX® Cosmetic can virtually eliminate the appearance of frown lines and forehead wrinkles caused by facial expression.  Dr. Schlessinger offers a non-surgical browlift, using BOTOX® Cosmetic to create an eyebrow arch that diminishes forehead lines while preserving natural expression.  Known as the "Schlessinger-Arch", it has become one of our most requested procedures.

Medical (non-cosmetics) uses for BOTOX® injection include:

  • Hyperhidrosis - which is excessive perspiration (sweating) of the hands and/or armpits are embarrassing at the least and can increase anxiety and stress. BOTOX® injections are the simplest remedy for this problem.
  • eyelid spasms
  • double vision
  • tearing
  • headaches/migraines. 
  • These problems maybe covered by insurance companies.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

"Laser Skin Resurfacing Long Island, Chemical Peels Long Island"Also known as "laser peel," laser skin resurfacing is a quick office procedure depending on the size of the area being treated.  The procedure uses a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser beam which vaporizes the upper layers of damaged skin at controlled levels of penetration.  

The procedure removes areas of damaged or wrinkled skin often caused by prolonged sun exposure or smoking.  Laser resurfacing can minimize the appearance of fine lines around the mouth and the eyes and is also effective in treating facial scars and of skin areas with uneven pigmentation.

     

  


BrowLift

"Browlift Long Island, Forehead Lift Long Island"

A browlift is used to correct a drooping browline (eyebrow area) reducing the horizontal lines and furrows (worry lines) that often make a person appear angry, sad or tired.  The procedure creates a refreshed, youthful appearance to the forehead area above the eyes.

When performing a forehead lift procedure, muscles and tissue areas that droop or cause creases are removed or corrected to smooth the skin on the forehead to reduce frown lines and raise the eyebrows.  There are two surgical methods, and during your initial consultation the procedure that works best for you will be recommended.  The first is the most conventional method where a surgical incision is hidden just above the hairline.  Browlifts are also performed using an endoscope which enables the procedure to be performed with a minimal number of incisions.  While the traditional method can sometimes attain more lift, both methods create smoother, flatter skin on the forehead.

 

 

  


Mid-Facelift"Facelift Long Island, Facial Procedures Long Island"

Over time, the long-term effects of gravity, exposure to sun, dry air, and general stress takes its toll on our face.  Creases begin to form between the nose and the mouth, wrinkles appear and you may start to notice that your eyes look tired all the time.

Not quite ready for a facelift?  A mid facelift might be your perfect solution!  

Not nearly as involved as a full face lift.  Done at the same time as lower blepharoplasty, it can help smooth out the skin in the midface giving a more youthful appearance.  Although dramatically improving your appearance, healing time is greatly reduced. 

  

 


Chemical Peels

Chemical peels can lighten brown spots, improve skin tone, acne and diminish fine wrinkling.  Some chemical peels are very superficial peels such as the glycolic acid and salicylic acid.  These "lunch time" peels can allow you to resume normal activity following treatment.  The TCA peel offers a more dramatic benefit, but requires careful patient preparation and post-peel care.  You and Dr. Schlessinger will decide which peel is right for you.

IPL Facial Rejuvenation

IPL facial rejuvenation can correct or erase the signs aging. The IPL machine treats sun damage, brown spots, freckles, broken blood vessels, enlarged pores, rosacea and uneven skin tone on the face, hands and body. Following treatment, you will see smoother skin, smaller pore size and fading of sun spots. Rosacea, a common vascular problem, will show significant improvement.

Using a cold gel applied to the area to be treated, the IPL handpiece is gently applied to your skin as pulses of light are emitted. Usually, four to six treatment sessions, lasting about 20 minutes each, will provide you with beautiful long term results.

There is NO downtime- it's a "lunchtime" treatment-and there's no risk to sensitive skin. You will notice a gradual, yet natural, looking improvement providing you with outstanding results. IPL is a safe solution tailor-made to your skin type and condition. Restore your youthful appearance!
