Restylane

RESTYLANE

As I often tell my patients “the body doesn’t read the book”.

Last month I saw one of my patients who had not been here for 2 years. She came in to have her Restylane redone ( after all they recommend every 6 months). We looked at her photos together (see link below- Section: Fillers - Restylane # 3 photo). She looked as good as the day we had injected her 2 years ago.

We have been using hyaluronic acids (Restylane) since 2004 when they were 1st FDA approved. We have been extremely happy with the cosmetic results and find especially in our younger patients long lasting results.

Dark Circles Under the Eyes

Friday, June 13th, 2008

Another New York Times article on 6/12/08 reiterating what we always knew at Baxt Cosmedical NJ.  There are thousands of under eye creams which claim to get rid of dark circles, but none of them are proven to work.  We always try to help our patients by designing skin care programs that work for them at our office in Paramus, New Jersey.  We see patients from all over the country, and especially all over the New York tri-state area.  Many patients bring in bags of expensive and useless creams that have wasted their money and time.  Let us tell you what really works, and what doesn’t work to improve your skin.  Get an expert opinion.

SmartLipo MPX

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

This is being written early summer of 2008.  We just put ourselves on the list to be one of the first in the country to obtain the new SmartLipo MPX. At this point I believe the laser liposuction method known as Smartlipo has become the standard of care and quite well-known in the general medical community.  We were the first ones in the state of New Jersey to have the technology and at this point probably have one of the largest series of treated patients.  The new laser has two different wavelengths blended together and almost makes the original machine obsolete.  The original Smart laser was designed for small areas where as the new technology is useful for large areas.  Probably the single greatest advance is its ability to shrink skin to a degree that we could not even imagine using the original machine.  This will increase the many patients that we would say “no” to in the past.  Keep looking online and you will soon see a high volume of posts regarding this amazing new advance.  Also watch our website www.smartliponewjersey.com for possible upcoming patient trials.
