As time passes our skin shows the natural, inevitable signs of aging - wrinkles, sagging, sun damage. But you can counteract those effects with several non-surgical cosmetic procedures available at our practice, including BOTOX® and injectable fillers such as collagen and Restylane® to smooth lines and wrinkles and raise sunken areas; Rhytec Portrait® to reduce scarring, discoloration and produce fresh, glowing skin; Thermage® for non-invasive skin tightening; and sclerotherapy for the treatment of spider veins.

Contour ThreadLift™

For patients who desire a younger appearance of the mid-face, brow and neck without undergoing a facelift, brow lift, or necklift a new minimally invasive procedure is available. FDA-approved Contour Threadslift™ are thin, flexible sutures that are threaded underneath the skin from the ear to the hairline to rejuvenate sagging foreheads, eyebrows, cheeks and neck. When the threads are pulled gently, tiny barbs lift the sagging tissue into a subtly higher, more youthful position that reflects the patient's natural facial contours. The sutures are left in place to maintain the effects, which are further enhanced and supported over time as the body produces natural collagen and elastin fibers around the threads. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.

Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy involves the injection of medications and other substances into the mesoderm, the layer of fat and connective tissue beneath the skin. Invented in France in 1952, today mesotherapy is used for a variety of cosmetic purposes, including cellulite, hair loss, localized fat reduction and skin rejuvenation. It may be an attractive alternative to tumescent liposuction for patients wishing to reduce cellulite or unwanted localized fat deposits.

Chemical Peels

Peel formulas and strengths are tailored to each patient. Our office performs light and medium depth chemical peels. We offer Beta-Lift chemical peels, glycolic acid peels, Skin Medica Revitalize peels, clay peels and TCA peels. Please inquire within our office about which peel will better suit you.

Cosmetic Mole Removal

Any new or changing mole should be evaluated by your dermatologist immediately. Any moles that appear to be abnormal should be removed and sent to the laboratory for examination by a dermatopathologist. Dr. Cole offers a full skin examination on your first visit and yearly thereafter to check for abnormal moles and skin cancer.

If Dr. Cole determines that a mole is benign (non-cancerous), a mole may be removed for cosmetic reasons. In this case, insurance will not cover the removal of moles which are removed for cosmetic reasons.

The price of mole removal depends on how large the mole is, where the mole is located, and the method used to removed it.
