Chemical Peel

Chemical peels work on the epidermis and the dermis. Epidermis is the outer layer of the skin that is visible to the eye. Dermis is right under the epidermis and contains sweat glands, nerve endings, and hair follicles.

Chemical peels are designed to remove a controlled amount of skin cells from the epidermal layer. However, stronger peels may target the deeper dermis layers as well. Plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey provides chemical peel treatments to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding communities.

What to Expect during the Treatment?

The most superficial chemical peel may cause a tingling sensation on the skin. However, the mild discomfort will subside once the peel solution gets neutralized. Deeper peels may need the application of numbing gel. Generally, skins that are accustomed to tolerating acids will tolerate stronger formulations.

Superficial peels may produce slight redness, similar to a mild sunburn. This may last for 3 – 5 days. However, more intense deep and medium peels may cause swelling, blistering, and noticeable redness. Your skin may continue peeling for 7 – 14 days. Deep chemical peels usually need bandages and painkillers for managing discomfort.

The skin becomes photosensitive immediately following a chemical peel. It is necessary that a broad-spectrum sunscreen be used following the treatment. You should minimize sun exposure as well.

Post-Treatment Experience

The treatment provider will use a cool saline compress for removing any exfoliant on the skin following the chemical peel. They may recommend applying unscented emollient or weak vinegar solution to the face for helping the skin heal following the treatment.

Deep peels can cause peeling and swelling which may take anywhere from 1 – 2 days to weeks to heal. You should not use any face wash or wet the face the first 24 hours. You should not use any makeup either until the skin has healed.

This is what you can expect with different peels:

Superficial Peels

Superficial peels don’t penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. They don’t carry the same risk of side effects as deep chemical peels. Also, the skin recovers more quickly in case of superficial peels. It may take 1 – 7 days for the skin to heal following superficial peels. You should wear sunscreen at all times during the healing phase.

Medium-Depth Peels

These peels can take anywhere from 7 to 14 days to heal. They usually cause swelling which is at its worst the first 48 hours of the treatment. Some patients experience blisters as well. Your doctor may prescribe an antiviral medication for 10 to 14 days. You can wear makeup after 5 to 7 days. However, you should avoid sun exposure until the skin heals completely.

Deep Peels

Deep peels can take anywhere from 14 to 21 days to heal. You should be prepared for:

• Recuperating at home
• Taking antiviral medications for 10 – 14 days
• Washing the skin 4 – 6 times a day with a special solution
• Applying ointment for the first 14 days
• Avoiding makeup for two weeks
• Avoiding sun exposure for 3 – 6 months

Laser Hair Removal

You may consider armpit laser hair removal if you are looking for a more long-term alternative to waxing your underarm hair or shaving it. Laser treatment works by destroying hair follicles for several weeks. This means that new hair cannot be produced easily, and the results may be fairly long lasting.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey provides laser hair removal treatment for the underarm hair to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding locations.

Advantages of Underarm Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal damages the hair follicles unlike waxing or shaving. This is so that no new hair is produced. This results in fewer and less noticeable hair for a longer duration.

Potential advantages of this procedure are:

1. Hair that grows lighter in color
2. Fewer underarm hair
3. Less coarse texture of hair
4. Overall slower hair growth

Duration of Results

You may notice fewer or finer hair following the laser hair removal procedure. Overall, it may take 3 – 4 sessions for achieving the desired results in armpit hair reduction. This is because of individual hair growth.

You must keep in mind that laser hair removal may be marketed as permanent, but you would still require follow-up treatments for maintaining smooth underarms. Majority of patients require maintenance treatment every 6 – 12 months or whenever their hair regrows.

Permanent Armpit Hair Removal

The following two steps are used in armpit laser hair removal procedure:

1. The professional will apply a mild anesthetic cream (if needed) after cleaning the treatment area. You would also be given protective eyewear for the rest of the session.
2. The treatment provider will next place a device containing light beam on the armpit area. The light will heat up the hair follicle and cause damage. This will prevent the follicles from producing new hair as normal. The process can be completed in a few minutes.

The professional may apply spray or cooling gel on the underarms for minimizing pain and other side effects. You should be able to return home the same day of the procedure. The treatment provider may apply cool compress or ice packs on the underarm region if required.

Best Laser for Underarm Hair

Laser hair removal can be done by various lasers. The most appropriate laser device will be chosen based on the following:

• Safety and effectiveness
• Hair thickness
• Skin color
• Hair color

It is important to work with a professional with experience in laser hair treatments.

Laser Hair Removal Mechanism

The Spectrum Diode Laser device is a recent innovation in hair removal and reduction. It emits a laser beam on the skin that disrupts hair growth. Hair cannot regrow since laser damages the hair follicles. The diode laser has an inbuilt cooling system and a laser wavelength of 810nm. This device has become the gold standard for removing hair in patients.

You should be able to see results in a few quick sessions. You may require 5 or more sessions every 6 – 10 weeks for desired results. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey receives patients from Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and nearby areas for laser hair removal treatment for the underarm hair.

Laser Hair Removal

Leg hair generally starts at the onset of puberty. Many people epilate, wax, shave, or use laser hair removal devices for removing hair from the legs for sports or aesthetic reasons. Pubic hair or hair in the bikini region is also normal. However, the amount of hair differs from person to person. There is no standard for the thickness or amount of pubic hair.

Hormonal changes can cause extreme variation in hair growth around the bikini area. For instance, women may notice excessive growth because of polycystic ovary syndrome. Others may notice hair loss because of aging. Unsightly hair may develop in the legs due to genetics or other reasons. This condition may deter a woman from wearing short clothes.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey provides laser hair removal treatment for the bikini area and legs to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding communities.

Hair Growth on Legs and Pubic Region

The real growth of hair in the bikini area or legs takes place under the skin in the epidermis. The cells in the hair follicles multiply and divide. Older cells are pushed out when space fills up in the hair follicle. This comes out in the form of bikini area or leg hair. Once the older cells come out, they become hard, and form the hair shaft. This is mostly made up of a protein called keratin and dead tissue.

Laser Hair Removal Mechanism

The Spectrum Diode Laser is a recent innovation in hair reduction. It emits a laser beam on the skin that disrupts hair growth. Hair follicle gets damaged by the laser and is unable to produce hair growth.

The diode laser has an in-built cooling system and a laser wavelength of 810nm. The laser is safe and comfortable and is fast becoming a gold standard for removing hair in patients. The recommended protocol is 5 or more treatment sessions every 6 to 10 weeks.

Downtime Involved

Laser hair removal doesn’t involve any real downtime. Your skin will be red and swollen immediately after the treatment. However, you can still go about your regular everyday activities.

Expected Results

You should be able to see noticeable results immediately following the treatment. Laser treatment results differ from patient to patient. The thickness and color of your hair, area treated, color of the skin, and type of laser used affect the results. You should expect a reduction of 10 to 25% after the first treatment session.

Most patients require 2 to 6 laser treatments for removing hair. You may not notice any hair growth in the treated area for several months or years following the treatment. Even when the hair will begin regrowing, it will be less. The hair tends to be lighter and finer in color as well.

Results of Laser Hair Removal

Majority of patients remain without hair for months or years following the laser treatment. You should know that when hair begins regrowing, it will be less noticeable. You may require maintenance laser treatments to keep your legs and pubic area free of hair.

Sculptra Aesthetic Before And After Photos

Sculptra Aesthetic is a proven, dependable, and effective injectable procedure for volumizing the depleted facial areas. It helps in restoring a rounder and fuller look. During initial consultation, the treatment provider will explain all factors related to the procedure. They will also show you Sculptra before and after images.

The primary concern of a responsible treatment provider is to educate patients about Sculptra Aesthetic in comparison with other alternatives so as to help them make an informed decision.

Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta, led by plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey, provides Sculptra Aesthetic facial filler injection treatments to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding communities.

What is Included in Sculptra Aesthetic Before and After Images?

Sculptra Aesthetic before and after images refers to a group or pair of images belonging to a previous patient that underwent the same soft tissue treatment with successful results. The images will include pictures taken before and after the treatment. There will be a few images taken once the complete benefits of Sculptra Aesthetic dermal filler have manifested.

Your treatment provider will show the images in a discreet manner after taking full consent of the patient. They will keep the patient’s identity confidential as well. The only purpose behind this exercise is to help prospective patients understand the results and limitations of the procedure.

Now these images are not on the site, but we all know it does not take too long to update a website. This is just another reason why you have to ask to see these images during the consultation. In terms of the consultation, it’s mandatory for a variety of reasons.

Advantages of Sculptra Aesthetic

Patients seeking to restore facial volume and reduce signs of aging have multiple options. Verbal explanations are limited by barriers of language. A few patients may only require limited treatment while others may need a full course of all three injections. The patient can make the best decisions when they are armed with Sculptra before and after photographs.

Creating Awareness Through Social Media

Diverse and broad ranged audience can be reached by treatment providers through social media. Publishing Sculptra Aesthetic before and after pictures can help hundreds and thousands of prospective patients understand the pros and cons of the procedure, including limitations.

Patients can understand the procedure in a better way when armed with before and after images. This is even before an initial consultation with the treatment provider is scheduled. Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, and Instagram are a few digital platforms where Sculptra before and after images can help.

Setting Reasonable Expectations

Results of Sculptra Aesthetic are fairly significant. However, they are not comparable with facelift or facial fat transfer procedures. Patients that have a clear idea of what the procedure can do for them will have better satisfaction towards the end of the procedure. It is necessary for treatment providers to do everything possible for helping their patients set realistic expectations.

This is another reason why Dr. McCluskey is successful is because he believes in transparency. We may not see this in political circles that much but in the plastic surgery world it’s vital and this clinic knows how vital it is to be straightforward with patients. Building trust is vital with all patients.

Sculptra Aesthetic ‘before and after’ images can be useful towards this endeavor. Patients that begin with reasonable expectations will appreciate final outcomes in a better manner. They also reduce the risk of disappointment later on when it may become impossible to reverse the effects of the procedure.

Laser Hair Removal 

A hairy back is common among many men. However, women can have hairy backs too. Popular fashion standards can make people feel that their hairy back is unattractive or undesirable. In men, having hair on the chest, arms, and face is thought to be more attractive than having hair on the back.

This can place tremendous pressure on people with a hairy back. It’s critical for you to understand that your opinion should matter the most since beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Having back hair can make you feel uncomfortable during the summer since it may increase body heat. However, it doesn’t pose any health risk or other challenges.

There is no medical reason for you to remove back hair. But you may want to remove it for aesthetic and physical comfort reasons. Plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey provides laser hair removal for back hair to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding locations.

Genetic Cause of Excessive Hair in the Back

Genetics is considered to be the most common cause for hairy back in men. There are certain genes that can make a person more sensitive to testosterone, which can result in an increase in hair growth. This can cause hair on the back to grow thicker.

Other Causes of Hairy Back in Women

There are certain reasons that may make women grow hair on their backs (hirsutism) as well:

• Hormonal imbalance
• Cushing’s syndrome
• Medications
• Adrenal gland disorders
• Polycystic ovary syndrome

Back Hair Removal with Laser Technology

One of the latest innovations in reducing hair is the Spectrum Diode Laser. This technology emits laser beam on the skin for disrupting hair growth. Your hair follicles will get damaged which will curtail the growth of hair.

The diode laser has a built-in cooling system and a wavelength of 810nm. This is to ensure the treatment is safe and comfortable. The Spectrum Diode Laser is fast becoming a gold standard for hair removal. Patients usually notice results after a few short sessions.

What to Expect during the Treatment?

Your back will be cleansed before the treatment. The treatment provider may apply a numbing gel to make the process more comfortable. The gel usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes to start working. Your treatment will take place in a room that is specifically made for the purpose of laser therapy.

It’s crucial for everybody in the room to wear protective eyewear during the treatment. Your skin will be held taut for the procedure. A lot of patients compare the laser pulses with the sensation of a rubber band being snapped against the skin. Others report that it feels like warm pinpricks.

Treatment Duration and Post-Op Recovery

Laser removes hair through vaporization which causes small smoke plumes that smell like sulfur. The duration of the treatment depends on the size of the body area being treated. The treatment session may take an hour or more if you are having your back or a large area treated.

The treatment usually involves little to no downtime. You can return to your normal routine the same day or the next day after the laser hair removal treatment session. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey receives patients from Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and nearby areas for laser hair removal for the back.

Sculptra Aesthetic 

Sculptra Aesthetic is an FDA approved dermal filler treatment for adding volume in sunken and depleted facial areas. It helps in restoring a fuller and rounder appearance. Candidates looking to rejuvenate their facial appearance for avoiding fat transfer cosmetic surgery may choose Sculptra dermal injectable procedure.

During the pre-treatment consultation, the injection provider will inform patients about Sculptra Aesthetic soft tissue filler procedure and its various aspects, including approximate costs. Costs and benefits should be assessed by patients in comparison with other alternative for making a well-considered decision.

Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta, led by plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey, provides Sculptra Aesthetic facial filler injection treatments to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding locations.

No Need for Allergy Tests

Sculptra Aesthetic has polylactic acid as the main element, which is found in several other surgical products. This substance is similar to a natural muscle derivative released by the body during exercise. The synthetic base ensures that you don’t need any prior allergy tests for the treatment.

Other Cost Factors

Cost of Sculptra Aesthetic can differ between two patients getting the treatment at the same practice or two different practices. The cost of the procedure is lesser as compared to facelift, cheek implants, and facial fat transfer plastic surgery among others.

These are a few factors that can impact the filler costs:

Practice Location

Practices located in busy metropolitan cities and urban centers tend to have a higher cost of living. This directly reflects in the cost of services, such as aesthetic procedures. Treatment costs can be marginally lower in practices that are located in small towns located in interior regions.

Provider’s Fee

Sculptra is an advanced soft tissue filler gel and should only be administered by someone with enough expertise and experience. Skills and experience determine the provider’s fee. Committed dermatologists develop individualized injection plans based on the patient’s aesthetic goals.

Quality Standards

Dermatology practices equipped with latest technology and facilities have experienced and qualified staff to provide personalized care. This allows for a more satisfactory experience in most cases. Your treatment provider should ensure to offer the highest standard of care and follow best practices while administering the injection. The price tag of the procedure is higher with higher standards of quality and care.

Treatment Extent

Sculptra Aesthetic cost is calculated based on the number of treatment sessions and injections. The injections are usually administered as a set of three spread over a few months. However, depending on your individual aesthetic goals, you may require fewer or more treatment sessions.

Sculptra may be recommended by the injection provider along with other dermal fillers or Botox injections for more satisfactory results. Complexity and extent of treatment will determine the overall financial ramifications.

Financing Options

Low-interest loans with quick approvals and easy monthly installments are provided by multiple medical care financing companies. Such options are suitable for patients that don’t want to make the entire payment upfront.

Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey receives patients from Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and nearby areas for Sculptra soft tissue filler injectable treatments to correct loss of facial volume in certain areas of the face.

Sculptra Aesthetic 

The face is the most aesthetically prominent and noticeable part of the human body. However, over time loss of cheek volume because of aging, sun damage, genetics, illnesses, and environmental factors can result in the formation of lines, folds and wrinkles in the cheeks and jawline. Sculptra Aesthetic is a leading cosmetic soft tissue filter treatment for addressing facial loss of volume in a noninvasive manner.

Sculptra has FDA approval as a facial filler injectable for helping patients with significant loss of volume in facial fat due to illness. It is a viable alternative for restoring facial volume in patients that don’t want to consider fat transfer and other invasive procedures.

Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta, led by plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey, provides Sculptra Aesthetic facial filler injection treatments to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding communities.

Common Areas of Correction in the Face

Sculptra Aesthetic is designed for filling conspicuous facial folds, creases, deep laugh lines, and wrinkles. This soft tissue facial filler has a powerful effect as compared to other med spa filler options. Sculptra may be recommended by dermatologists for patients that want significant facial rejuvenation in a noninvasive and sustainable manner.

Proper injection technique should be used by the injection provider for best results. Sculptra is an FDA approved dermal filler for clinical use. It can be used for mitigating moderate to severe nasolabial folds, smile lines, chin wrinkles, and marionette lines.

Jaw Line and Cheek Enhancement

Loss of cheek volume is common among people as they age. Creases and folds surrounding the jawline may become more noticeable as a person becomes older. Sculptra Aesthetic works to instantly add volume in the depleted regions. It helps in creating fuller and rounder jawline and cheek appearance.

This soft tissue filler will volumize creases and wrinkles enabling your face to look smoother and tauter. Laugh lines extending from the side of the nose to the mouth corners can also be reduced with Sculptra. Jawline can be improved by reducing marionette lines.

Sculptra is a potent dermal filler that offers long lasting and significant results. Dermatologists recommend the procedure only after careful evaluation of potential candidates.

Stimulating Collagen Fiber

Loss of prominent jawline and volume in the cheeks may start once you hit late 30s. Natural collagen in the body will begin to decrease around this age, which can result in appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin, sagging cheeks, and unsatisfactory jawline.

Sculptra Aesthetic filler gel can restore collagen levels by generating fresh collagen fibers. It can create sustainable and natural looking results by working from the within to prompt fresh collagen growth.

Restore Volume in a Thinning Face

Sculptra Aesthetics is an effective soft tissue filler injection that was initially developed for treating facial lipoatrophy. It contains polylactic acid that is used in several surgical products. Sculptra is suitable for people unhappy with the sunken appearance of eyes, cheeks, and temples or otherwise thinning skin.

Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey receives patients from Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and nearby areas for Sculptra soft tissue filler injectable treatments to correct loss of facial volume in certain areas of the face.

Radiesse Dermal Filler 

Radiesse dermal filler is an FDA approved injectable treatment for improving the appearance of facial signs of aging. It has emerged as a popular noninvasive treatment for skin care in the US. Unfortunately, aesthetic treatments such as Radiesse are usually not covered under regular healthcare plans. This is why it is worthwhile to consider the cost of the treatment as a deciding factor.

Various aspects of the injectable treatment are discussed by the treatment provider during the initial consultation. This includes the estimated costs. Dedicated providers want to ensure their patients make an enlightened decision.

Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta, led by plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey, provides Radiesse facial filler injection treatments to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding communities.

Comparing Costs with Other Alternatives

There are several innovative skin care and anti-aging techniques for addressing facial rejuvenation concerns. This includes ultrasound, laser, and radio frequency-based procedures. Radiesse is a cost-effective procedure as opposed to noninvasive procedure. The best part about Radiesse is that it provides significantly long-term results as compared to other alternatives.

This is why most patients choose Radiesse over other dermal filler treatments for skin care and facial rejuvenation. Patients should understand that Radiesse offers long lasting results that can last for anywhere from 12 – 18 months. In comparison, most other dermal fillers don’t offer results for more than a 6 – 12 months. Patient should view the overall efficacy of results while comparing costs.

Radiesse dermal injectable is an in-office procedure that doesn’t require any anesthesia or sedation. You can save on surgical venue costs and anesthesiologist fee.

Only a single office visit is required in most instances as compared to the multiple necessary sessions in light and heat based surgical procedures. The recovery period following Radiesse injectable is almost negligent which means you don’t need to miss work.

Cost Factors

The overall cost of the procedure will be different for different practices. In fact, the cost of treatment can differ significantly between two patients getting the procedure done at the same practice. Location of the practice is the primary factor affecting cost. Prime cities and large urban centers tend to incur higher real estate cost and overhead expenses as compared to interior regions and smaller towns.

Type of personalized care and standard of quality affects the overall sticker price as well. Patients should ensure that skilled and trained treatment provider is chosen for injecting Radiesse filler.

Treatment Extent

The extent of facial rejuvenation you require will determine the number of injections required. Many practices offer lucrative rebates if patients get multiple procedures performed. Discounts are also offered by Radiesse manufacturer during certain times of the year. Patients can make use of these options for getting the treatment at lower rates.

Using Radiesse for Hands

Radiesse is a unique dermal filler treatment which can instantly replenish lost volume in the hands for creating a smooth and natural look. Cost of hand rejuvenation is in addition to facial rejuvenation.

Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey receives patients from Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and nearby areas for Radiesse soft tissue filler injectable treatments for deep wrinkle and fold reduction in certain areas of the face.
