Aesthetic Injectables
Used alone or in conjunction with surgical procedures like facelift, eyelid surgery, or forehead lift, aesthetic injectables produce a natural, well-rested, and youthful appearance.

BOTOX? Cosmetic and Restylane? are two of the most popular choices for patients at our South Carolina center. They can be used together to optimize rejuvenation and extend the length of the results.

BOTOX? Cosmetic
Used to temporarily inhibit the facial muscles responsible for hyperkinetic wrinkles, lines around the eyes, and forehead furrows caused by repetitive movements, BOTOX? Cosmetic can help patients at our South Carolina practice enjoy a more relaxed appearance in a single office visit. BOTOX? Cosmetic enhances the shape and position of the brows, opens the eyes, and creates a more youthful appearance to the eye itself.

Most BOTOX? Cosmetic patients experience only minimal discomfort and are able to return to work and normal activities immediately after their treatment with no downtime.

Results of BOTOX? Cosmetic injections last for several months or more before maintenance treatments are necessary.

Convenient, safe, and effective, BOTOX? Cosmetic is one of the best anti-aging products available, producing incredibly natural-looking and beautiful results.

Restylane?
For smoothing fine facial lines and wrinkles or enhancing the size and shape of the lips, Restylane? is a hassle-free, effective option. This non-surgical treatment is also extremely convenient and can be completed in the privacy of our office.

Dr. Wassermann has extensive experience with this soft-tissue filler, and Restylane? patients at our South Carolina practice can achieve attractive and youthful results with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Follow-up treatments are typically necessary one or two times per year to maintain wrinkle reduction or lip augmentation results achieved through Restylane? injections.

For skin that is distinctly smoother or lips that are noticeably fuller, Restylane? treatment is the answer, providing youthful results that are tailored to each patient's unique concerns.

Laser Skin Resurfacing
To reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, sun damage, acne scars, and other imperfections, patients at our practice can turn to laser skin resurfacing. This powerful rejuvenation treatment removes damaged skin, boosts collagen production, and stimulates development of new cells, producing a smooth, radiant look.

Laser resurfacing is an extremely precise technique. Dr. Wassermann has at his disposal many different types of lasers, including the Sciton laser, and can tailor the depth of the resurfacing in order to meet patients' rejuvenation needs as well as their specific recovery requirements. For example, Dr. Wassermann can perform a shallow peel under topical anesthetic with little or no downtime, or a deep full-face treatment under general anesthetic to correct years of sun damage and facial aging.

Typically, laser skin resurfacing patients at our South Carolina center enjoy a rapid recovery. Most patients are able to return to work and light activities in one week or less, though mild redness and sensitivity my persist for several weeks.

Laser skin rejuvenation at our South Carolina center is performed in a safe, comfortable, and professional environment so patients can be confident in their treatment choice. During your consultation, Dr. Wassermann will communicate exactly what to expect during your procedure and recovery.

Laser Vein Treatment
Spider veins, or telangiectasias, which are red, purple, or blue in color and frequently take on a web-like shape, are a common problem that can often be easily and effectively treated with laser vein treatment.

A non-invasive procedure that can be performed in about 15 minutes without anesthesia or downtime, laser vein treatment fades bothersome spider veins dramatically, producing a healthier and more attractive look.

Laser vein treatment can also be used to complete your transformation after liposuction, abdominoplasty, or other body contouring procedures at our South Carolina plastic surgery center.

Chemical Peels
Customized for each patientĖs specific needs, chemical peels are an extremely successful means of achieving an even, healthy complexion and reducing the look of acne scars, uneven pigmentation, environmental damage, and other concerns.

Performed in under an hour in the privacy and comfort of our state-of-the-art facility, chemical peel treatments are associated with only minimal discomfort. Temporary side effects may include redness, dryness, and mild swelling. Recovery times vary according to the strength of the peel and individual factors.

Chemical peels can also be used in conjunction with other aesthetic procedures in order to optimize patients' results without increasing recovery time. For example, a common combination is a blepharoplasty with a chemical peel to the lower lids to erradicate fine wrinkles and correct skin discoloration (dark circles).

Tattoo Removal
Technological advances have made it possible to safely and effectively remove unwanted tattoos. Although there are several methods of tattoo removal, laser treatments have become the standard technique for restoring the skin's appearance while minimizing potential scarring.

Dr. Wassermann uses laser technology to remove pigment and restore the skin's appearance in as little as three to four sessions. Depending on the characteristics and colors of the tattoo, more treatments may be required. Dr. Wassermann prescribes specialized creams in the post-treatment period in order to speed clearance and decrease the overall number of treatments.

The convenience and safety of laser treatment allows for tattoo removal with minimal side effects and no downtime. Patients can rid themselves of the once-permanent marking for a renewed appearance.

Tattoo removal patients at our South Carolina center benefit from Dr. WassermannĖs extensive experience and commitment to excellence. During your personal consultation, he can address any concerns you may have.

Skincare Treatments
For many patients, skincare treatments are a convenient way to achieve a beautiful, smooth, clear complexion. These time-tested treatments have been proven safe and effective for many years.

Retin-A? is a common component of many skin care regimens. It, and other skincare treatments, may also be recommended to enhance the results of chemical peels and laser treatments or used in combination with surgical procedures to achieve maximum results.

During your consultation, Dr. Wassermann can help determine the appropriate skincare option for you and develop a treatment plan based on your individual needs.
