We would like to introduce our newest peel, the Vi Peel. This treatment is ideal for anyone who is trying to have younger and healthier skin. The Vi Peel treats conditions from tone, texture, pigmentation, and lines. The Vi Peel also helps tighten the skin and clear acne conditions.

We recently had a Vi Peel event that was a great success! It was supposed to be a one day event that turned into two days to accommodate the overflow. The Vi Peel has become in high demand in our office. If you were unable to attend, we will be having another one after summer.

The only way to get new skin from the inside out! Pixilated channels are made into the epidermis and brand new skin grows in a matter of day.

In the short healing process the body steps up its collagen production, pigment is broken up and texture is improved.

We have now of these lasers! The Fraxel 2(no more blue dye) and the pro fractional by Sciton (one for every skin need).

Historically the brow lifts have been performed to elevate sagging eyebrows using a large incision either on the forehead or behind the hairline in the scalp. Objective is to release the muscles and the tissues so that the brows could be raised to a younger looking position.

Endoscopic brow lift was created to eliminate the need for large incisions and scars and decrease the complications and recovery. Only small incisions are needed to allow a small microscopic camera to be passed under the skin. Using micro instruments the tissues and the muscles are released and the brow is elevated. The recovery is much faster and there is less chance of damage to the sensory nerves.

The procedure should be only performed by a surgeon with proper training in this advanced technique. For more information call Dr. Moradi who is a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon with extensive experience in the procedure.

By definition a short scar face lift uses an incision that is limited to the front of the ear and does not extend behind the ear.

It is used to improve the jowls and lower face laxity.

Based on the surgeons expertise the same small incision can be used to lift the muscles of the face by the extended SMAS face lift method. Since there are no skin elevations behind the ears or the neck the recovery is much faster with significantly less swelling and bruising.

One must keep in mind that this procedure is not suitable for those with significant neck laxity and the surgeon must be properly trained in performing facial plastic surgery.

Upper eye lid lift, also known as blepharoplasty, is one of the most common procedures performed in a Facial Plastic Surgery Office. Most men and women start to see the signs of aging around their eyes in their early thirties. As time progresses the upper eye lid skin becomes more prominent and in some instances may interfere with their vision.

The procedure to correct this issue involves a surgical procedure that is usually performed under local anesthesia. For the upper eye lid lift, an incision is made in the crease of the upper eye lid to remove the excess skin and fat as needed. The objective is to bring back a more youthful and natural look. The incision is place in the fold and as time progresses it usually becomes very difficult to detect.

The recovery from eye lid surgery is very rapid and one can usually return to normal activity within a week.

Like any other surgery the surgeon needs to be experienced in facial plastic surgery to obtain the best result.
