Please be prepared to discuss your goals and prior services you have had. Also, please provide any updated information including current medications, allergies and skin sensitivities. We will ask you to cleanse your face prior to the consultation as we need to see your natural skin for the consultation.

Your consultation will take anywhere from 20 minutes to 45 minutes depending on the issues you wish to discuss. Please add an additional 15 minutes for time to fill our your questionnaire and additional time to schedule future appointments. First time visitors should plan for 25 to 60 minutes including filling out paper work.

Dr. Salzman uses a very fine syringe for your comfort and gently injects the areas discussed and agreed upon during the initial consultation. The procedure itself takes just minutes, and noticeable improvement of the treated areas can be seen in just a few days. Full results of BOTOX® Cosmetic or XEOMIN® takes place in about ten days after the initial treatment. Both BOTOX® Cosmetic and XEOMIN® have been shown to last approximately 3-4 months, though results may vary (sometime up to 6 months) with some clients experiencing shorter or longer result times. A number of our clients find that regular treatments of BOTOX® Cosmetic may reduce the total amount of units that they might need on subsequent visits. Dr. Salzman treatments are  quick and comfortable procedure. We also offer flexible office hours to meet your needs, and many of our clients receive treatments after work or on their lunch hour.

BOTOX Cosmetic® and XEOMIN® are used to treat moderate to severe facial lines around the eyes and forehead areas. Both can create a dramatic improvement when treating the horizontal lines across the forehead, vertical lines between the eyebrows,  the “crow’s feet” or the squint lines around the eyes and can even create a mini “brow-lift” above the eyes.

Sometimes there is a small amount of redness in the treated area that disappears quickly (20 minutes to and hour) with the application of ice, and/or can be covered by a small amount of makeup. Bruising can sometimes appear after treatment, but can be largely avoided by following proper pre and post care written instructions, and any additional verbal instructions given by Dr. Salzman. Everyone must sign a consent form and receive the documentation provided by BOTOX® Cosmetic by the Allergan, the makers of BOTOX®. and XEOMN® produced by Merz.

Overtime, through natural aging and expression, lines and creases form on our skin that age our appearance. Dermal fillers can correct those lines instantly, by gently filling them from within, creating smoother, more youthful looking skin.

Physician strength chemical peels can only be purchased and performed under the direction of a physician. At Advanced Laser Medspa, we only do light and medium strength chemical peels. Theses are considered “lunchtime peels” and you can resume normal activities afterwards. While there are many different types of chemical peels, there are many different skin types, and therefore a peel must be appropriately selected to provide the best, safest and most effective results for each person. During your initial consultation, a licensed, medical expert will meet with you to evaluate your skin and determine the type of chemical peel that will be most beneficial based on your skin’s color, type and current condition.

Similar to medical microdermabrasion, physician strength chemical peels can treat almost all the areas of the body, including but not limited to the face, neck, chest, arms, back and hands.

A medical microdermabrasion is a treatment that uses a microdermabrasion machine that is only sold to physicians and only operated by licensed, medical technicians. A medical microdermabrasion is a much safer and more effective treatment then what can be performed in a spa or salon, and this means better results for you.

During the treatment a licensed, skilled technician uses a crystal tipped wand and makes small quick passes over the skin. A gentle scratching sensation can be felt as the tip goes back and forth across the skin along with gentle suction from the machine which helps to lift and clear away dirt, oil, sebum, dead skin and bacteria from the skin.

Microdermabrasion can treat almost all the areas of the body, including but not limited to the face, neck, chest, arms, back, hands and feet.

A micropeel is a combination of both a medical microdermabrasion and a physician strength chemical peel. Micropeels are ideal because they blend together the benefits of both the medical microdermabrasion and physician strength chemical peel into one comfortable treatment. A micropeel allows for deeper penetration of the physician strength chemical peel and provides faster, more significant results than a medical microdermabrasion or physician strength chemical peel performed alone. While results can be seen immediately, a series of treatments along with maintenance treatments are recommended for best results.

Side effects are minimal and can include temporary redness or flakiness of the skin. Vigorous exercise should be avoided directly after treatment otherwise most other activates can be resumed immediately. Medical grade sunblock should always be worn while undergoing any type of medical skin treatment.

Unlike other cellulite treatments, Acoustic Wave Therapy™ or AWT is an innovative technology that uses gentle acoustic waves and percussion to break up cellulite. Acoustic Wave Therapy works by loosening those hard bands of collagen that are pushing down on the enlarged fat cells while simultaneously breaking up the trapped fat. By manually increasing lymph drainage and blood flow to the treated area, the body is able to naturally rid itself of the cellulite through its lymphatic system. The result is smoother looking skin, an increase in skin firmness, and an improvement in tone and skin texture. Some of our clients notice an additional benefit of a decrease in circumferential size of the treated areas.

A minimum of 8 treatments spaced twice a week for 4 weeks is required to see an improvement. Some clients may require additional treatments to receive optimal results. Once monthly maintenance treatments of Acoustic Wave Therapy are recommended to sustain results. At the time of your consultation you will meet with a licensed technician who will evaluate the areas of concern and recommend a treatment plan based on the degree of your cellulite and their professional experience and training.

Areas that can be treated include; Front and back of thighs, Buttocks, Stomach, and Arms.

Side effects are temporary and can sometimes include redness, swelling or bruising of the treated areas.

Results can include a reduction in the appearance of lumpiness, and an increase in skin texture, tone and firmness. Additionally, some clients will notice a circumference reduction of the treated areas. Clients are weighed, measured and photographed before beginning treatment and two weeks after completing their initial set of treatments to track the amount of their progress. Results vary from person to person, and it is important to schedule a complimentary consultation at our Medspa to find out if you are a good candidate for Acoustic Wave Therapy to start feeling confident about wearing shorts, skirts and bathing suits today!

Dermaplaning is appropriate for anyone looking for an instant result from a non-surgical treatment that have an event such as a date, wedding or just want immediate results that include radiant, glowing facial skin.

For best results, dermaplaning should be scheduled every two weeks for skin correction and then once monthly to maintain treatment results.

Clients that have active acne or pustular rosacea should not receive dermaplaning. Because dermaplaning is a non-chemical exfoliation procedure, clients who are pregnant, lactating or trying to become pregnant may receive dermaplaning but not chemical peels.

We offer complimentary consultations that include advanced UV photography of the skin along with a personalized skin assessment and an individualized treatment plan to get you the best possible results. Schedule a consultation today with one of our experienced, licensed professionals to see if dermaplaning is right for you!
