Rhode Island Plastic Surgeon on Innovative Approach to Facial Rejuvenation

Providence, RI (PRWEB) May 31, 2011

The latest study from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) not only contains statistics concerning the number of procedures performed in the U. S. in 2010, but also highlights the growing approval of cosmetic procedures as more than half of all Americans now approve of cosmetic enhancement. After a year in which more than 9.3 million cosmetic procedures were performed, Rhode Island plastic surgeon Dr. Patrick Sullivan says the growing interest in aesthetic enhancement, especially procedures such as the facelift and liposuction, inspires him to continually pursue the latest techniques designed specifically to increase patient safety and overall effectiveness.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Rhode Island, Dr. Sullivan says education and innovation both play an important role in the growing acceptance of cosmetic enhancement. He adds that developing techniques the public has expressed interest in is also essential to the success of the industry. At the 2011 ASAPS meeting, Dr. Sullivan delivered a presentation entitled, “Rejuvenation of the Aging Jawline: A Comprehensive Approach,” which focuses on the combination of procedures needed to provide both men and women with an artistically appropriate, naturally-enhanced result.

Dr. Sullivan also led several courses at the ASAPS meeting. The first course focused on lower face and neck rejuvenation, which is currently a topic of interest in the plastic surgery community, according to Dr. Sullivan. The second course was designed specifically for plastic surgeons interested in the latest techniques available for lower eyelid and forehead rejuvenation. To complete his ASAPS schedule, Dr. Sullivan presented his approach to using intravenous sedation in place of general anesthesia for facial surgeries, which reduces the overall invasiveness.

Joining some of the most-respected minds in plastic surgery at events such as the 2011 ASAPS meeting is important to the continued success of the plastic surgery community, according to Dr. Sullivan. As he prepares for the 2011 American Brazilian Aesthetic Meeting, he adds maintaining a close connection to patient needs and expectations will continue to influence acceptance of cosmetic enhancement, and inspire further innovation in a field with the potential to positively impact a patient’s quality of life.

Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg, Cosmetic Surgeon, Offers Unique Laser Treatments for Total Skin Rejuvenation

Woodbury, NY (PRWEB) March 24, 2011

Stephen T. Greenberg, M.D., with offices in Woodbury, NY and Park Ave, NYC, is one of the first cosmetic surgeons in New York to offer patients a new, same-day, combination approach to laser skin resurfacing. This FDA approved, combination approach is the 1st of its kind from the company that invented and patented micro-fractional laser technology (Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc.). Using a combination of micro-fractional laser technologies allows for the optimization and customization of a complete skin rejuvenation regimen for each patient, maximizing client aesthetic outcomes, providing faster healing and reducing social downtime.????Combination micro-fractional laser skin resurfacing is the perfect choice for the treatment of wrinkles, acne and surgical scars, melasma, striae, unwanted textural irregularities, crow's feet, blotchy skin and more, on virtually any trouble spot on the body - face, neck, chest, arms, legs.

"Skin imperfections on the face and body can detract from a person’s self-image, and can make you look older. Using a unique combination of fractional laser technologies represents a great advancement in aesthetics because it helps patients look and feel their best without having to undergo invasive surgical procedures with significant recovery time,” said Dr. Stephen Greenberg, a leading Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon. Fractional laser skin resurfacing treatments from Dr. Greenberg use the most advanced laser technology to target skin imperfections without harming surrounding tissue. Healing time is fast and most procedures can be performed in thirty minutes or less with minimal discomfort and excellent long-term results. "The ability to now combine ablative and non-ablative treatments allows for a treatment customized to meet the needs of each patient" said Dr. Greenberg.

For more superficial aesthetic corrections, there is new hope for maximizing one’s rejuvenated appearance. “Our new, optimized pulsed light (OPL) technology offers the most effective, safe and customizable photofacial and skin rejuvenation treatments available.” Recently declared, “A Hot Advance in Skin Care”, on ‘The Doctors TV Show’, the new, Max G OPL technology allows for more comfortable procedures with excellent outcomes and less downtime. “Pulsed light is similar to a laser in that it uses an intense beam of light," says Dr. Greenberg. “A chief difference is that pulsed light treats a larger body area than a laser, all the while being gentler on the skin. This pulsed light technology is more advanced than any other IPL technology. Patient safety is maximized and allows for a customizable approach to optimally treat unsightly spider-veins, rosacea, telangiectasias, hemangiomas, sun damage, dyschromia, poikiloderma, and angiomas on the face and other body areas."

According to Dr. Greenberg, “Our skin rejuvenation process is remarkable because of our unique ability to offer the most complete array of laser/light based modalities, as well as to offer patients a unique, combination approach for total skin rejuvenation that can be tailored to each patient’s specific aesthetic needs/expectations. Together, they provide great benefits to the patients, maximizing results, aiding in patient comfort while minimizing downtime compared to other skin rejuvenation approaches.”
