January 26, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Health News
In 2003 among 6.9 million cosmetic procedures performed in the USA, 5.2 million were non-invasive procedures according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Derma Laser Centers is a full spectrum Medi-Spa devoted to the science and art of non-invasive aesthetic medicine. Over 30,000 procedures have been performed since it was founded in 2002, by Ayman El-Attar, M.D.

Dr. El-Attar is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, The American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery, The American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine, and the American Society of Aesthetic Mesotherapy. Dr. El-Attar completed residencies in both general surgery and family practice and has been a visiting instructor in Surgery at the Medical College of Ohio.

Every patient at Derma Laser Centers receives an individualized comprehensive program during the initial consultation to plan his treatment within the individual budget and schedule. All procedures are done by Dr. El-Attar, not a nurse or technician. This helps to maximize the results and accommodate different patient needs. Derma Laser Centers offers a full spectrum of non-invasive laser treatments with virtually no or minimal downtime. They offer one of the best equipped laser centers in the Sate of New Jersey.

Specific lasers are used based on the medical condition being treated. Dr. El-Attar explained that an exciting technology is the CoolTouch II Laser. This laser delivers measures precisely the temperature of the skin and delivers controlled energy to stimulate the production of new collagen. It is effectively used to treat wrinkles and acne scarring and with a gentle treatment with impressive results. Thermage™ treatments are offered at Derma Laser Centers. It is non-surgical treatment with no downtime. ThermageTM lifts and tightens face, neck, breasts, underarms, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. They offer the most affordable ThermageTM treatments in the area.

Vein treatment is a popular application at Derma Laser Centers. Using a combination of laser, foam sclerotherapy, and minor ambulatory phlebectomy you can get rid of unsightly leg veins. The new- cutting edge technology- Arctic Laser Peel offers laser skin resurfacing, without the need of topical or general anesthesia like before. The recovery time is 5 days, and the results are astonishing. The DioLite Laser is used to eliminate rosacea and broken vessels instantly. Restore youthful clarity to your skin in few sessions.

Dr. El-Attar employs a new technology: “Photodynamic Therapy” using the Blu-U light combined with a photosensitizing agent (Levulan). This is used to target pre-cancerous lesions in the elderly population (Actinic Keratosis). These red scaly lesions, left untreated, can lead to skin cancer. Photodynamic Therapy often completely eliminates the potentially dangerous lesions in less than few weeks. Photodynamic therapy with Blu-U light works as well in bad acne lesions by deactivating the bacteria with instant results.

Affordable laser hair reduction, offered for all skin colors, is a popular procedure at Derma Laser Centers. Cynosure Smartepil II is an FDA approved Laser for all skin types with virtually no complications. For gray or white hair, Dr. El-Attar still recommends electrolysis. “There is a new radio frequency technology for light and fine hair, but still under the research phase” Dr. El-Attar explained.

The new S-Lift is a minimally invasive procedure done under general anesthesia, with minimal recovery time for an instant mid and lower face lift. It is indicated in patients with excessive facial sagging. It involves a small S-shaped incision in front of the ear. A small scar in front of the ear is virtually undetectable few weeks after the procedure. This new technique corrects sagging cheeks, jowls, and deep marionette lines instantly.

Mesotherapy is the next big thing. It is a new safe, non-surgical 30 minutes technique for spot weight reduction, and for instant cellulite elimination. Also, used for face and neck rejuvenation, and hair regrowth. Mesotherapy was pioneered in the 1950’s by French physician Dr. Michel Pistor. Currently, more than 15,000 physicians practice mesotherapy in France, and other countries. In contrast to the invasive and costly liposuction procedure, Mesotherapy involves a series of minute injections of specific medications into the skin. It is less expensive than liposuction and with no down time. The injections need to be repeated every four weeks for a series of treatments. There is no postoperative pain or extensive bruising. At Derma Laser Centers Mesotherapy has been used with great success to help patients with a myriad of complaints including a reduction in fat in various areas, such as a “double-chin, saddle bags, love handles and under-eye bags.” Few contra-indications exist for mesotherapy including sensitivity to the ingredients, pregnancy, insulin-dependent diabetes, stroke, liver or heart disease.

Botox® is the trade name of Botulinum Toxin Type A. This substance blocks nerve impulses when injected into the muscles that cause frown lines. Once the muscle( s) can no longer contract, the action of frowning is stopped, and frown lines diminish. The results of Botox® treatment start to appear in 3 to 10 days. The treated muscles will start to gradually regain their action over 3 to 6 months. When frown lines start to reappear, a simple repeat treatment is all that is necessary to maintain the desired result. Botox® is used as well to lift the lateral eye brows and correct facial asymmetry. All injections are performed by Dr. El-Attar, not a nurse or a PA.

Restylane® is an FDA approved filler formed of (hyaluronic acid) and is used for lip enhancement, smoothing Marionette lines, and treating scars. No allergy test required like in the case of collagen injections. This filler lasts 6-9 months. The injection is performed using an ultra fine needle. The procedure takes few minutes with an immediate aesthetic effect
