The lines and wrinkles that form on our faces can be a daily source of frustration. Why do we get facial wrinkles in the first place and how can we best treat them?
Facial wrinkles form due to two main factors: changes in the skin and repeated muscle use. Repetitive use of facial muscles creases the overlying skin instead of allowing it to stay smooth and flat.
Changes in the skin come about as a result of environmental factors such as sun exposure, pollutants, and smoking, along with genetic factors and the aging process. These factors cause damage to the skin’s collagen […]
For patients who feel that they look older than they should, a cheek lift can be an incredibly effective procedure. Our cheek lift procedure is ideal for patients who are in need of a youthful lift, as it can eliminate sagging and erase wrinkles and dark circles.
A cheek lift is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed through a very small incision along the outermost corner of each eye. This gives Dr. Enzer access to the cheek tissues.
Through these incisions, Dr. Enzer is able to lift the sagging fat pads of the cheeks. This smoothes out the skin of the area […]
Earrings and other types of piercings and gauges can cause a number of issues with the earlobes. If you have experienced earlobe trauma, we can repair it. Your earlobe repair surgery will vary depending on the exact nature of the issue.
Some patients have earlobes that are fully split. To correct this, we use medical stitches to reconnect both sides of the earlobe. This means connecting not just the outer skin layers but also the inner layers and the fat tissue. The injured piercing tract will be taken out.
Some patients have earlobes that are torn or elongated within the borders of […]
For your lip augmentation at our office, you will have several options, including fat transfer injections and injections of fillers like Restylane Silk and Juvederm. These injections work to plump the lips through the addition of volume to the skin. Which technique is right for you?
Fat transfer involves the harvesting of fat cells from an area of the patient’s body that has excess fatty tissue. Once these cells are carefully removed, they can be purified and then grafted through injection into key areas of the lips. This option will last longer than synthetic injectable fillers.
Synthetic hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane […]
Have you noticed a change in your eyelashes? Latisse eyelash treatment aids in the regrowth and rejuvenation of lashes that have been affected by the aging process.
To apply Latisse eyelash treatment, patients will first place a single drop of the medication onto the sterile applicator, at the region near the tip. During this, the applicator will be positioned horizontally, not vertically.
Once this is complete, the drop of medication will be placed on one of the patient’s upper eyelids, right above the lash line. Application should start near the nose and work outward.
Once this is complete, another drop should be added […]
During a laser eyelid lift, we use our CO2 laser to revitalize the eye area. The aging process affects patients’ eye regions differently depending on factors such as skin elasticity. The procedure can be done in several ways to address the unique needs of each patient.
For some patients, a laser eyelid lift is only necessary for the upper eyelids. In this case, the procedure is known as an upper blepharoplasty.
Many patients require eyelid recontouring for their upper and lower eyelids. This is known as an upper and lower, or four-lid, blepharoplasty and provides the most comprehensive rejuvenation. It typically begins […]
There are many wrinkles that can form in your facial skin over time. Some of the most frustrating and prominent of these unwanted wrinkles are horizontal forehead lines. These lines give a misleading appearance of exhaustion and consternation.
To combat unfortunate aspects of the aging process like horizontal forehead lines, we offer Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. These injectable products are used to relax contracted facial muscles. Once these muscles are relaxed and flat, the overlying skin of the forehead becomes smooth again.
Younger looks can be yours with the help of simple injections! Dr. Yoash Enzer, a board-certified surgeon and Rhode Island’s […]
Patients with spider veins on their thighs or legs often come in for sclerotherapy treatment. Sclerotherapy will help you get rid of those embarrassing blue, red, or purple spider veins, leaving beautiful, clear skin in their place.
During sclerotherapy, the inner lining of the offending spider veins is treated with a concentrated salt water solution. This solution is precisely delivered via injection into the vein.
Sclerotherapy’s salt water solution causes the blood in the region to disappear, making the vein gradually shrink and then vanish.
Want to learn more about what sclerotherapy can do for you? Contact us today and arrange an appointment […]
Do you have an unwanted mole or other skin lesion? If so, you may be able to get it removed with the help of Ellman radiofrequency technology during a procedure called the Ellman Shave.
After a local anesthetic is applied to the targeted region, the radiofrequency energy is used to painlessly shave the mole down to meet the surface of the surrounding skin.
At the same time, blood vessels are cauterized, keeping the region free of any bleeding. No scalpels are used for this, making stitches completely unnecessary.
To find out more about the Ellman Shave, set up a consultation with Dr. […]
Are you tired of putting on eyeliner day after day? With the help of eyeliner micropigmentation, a precise medical-grade tattooing procedure, you won’t have to worry about eyeliner application again for up to three years!
The eyeliner micropigmentation procedure begins with putting small shields over the eyes in order to protect them. The upper and lower eyelids will be numbed for the remainder of the procedure through the use of local anesthesia.
Following this, a small needle is used to precisely apply the pigment to the eye region, creating semi-permanent eyeliner.
