Sclerotherapy:
Jessica Plotnick is one of New York's premier sclerotherapists, having treated over a thousand men and women, of all skin colors. sclerotherapy is a treatment used to treat and remove spider and varicose veins. It involves the injection of a solution into a vein, which irritates the inside of the vessel wall, causing it to collapse and completely disappear. This procedure has been used to treat spider veins since the 1930’s and before that for larger vessels. Click here for the Sclerotherapy FAQ.

Botox™:
This is a simple and safe procedure that takes only five minutes and requires no recovery time. Using a micro-sized needle, Botox Cosmetic is injected into certain muscles in the face to relax them and lessen the appearance of wrinkles that result from our daily expressions such as crow's feet, frown lines and laugh lines. This is an effective means of reversing the visible signs of aging. The results can be seen within four days and last 3-6 months, depending on the individual. Click here for the Botox FAQ.
Botox Cosmetic blocks impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that are related to expression lines. BOTOX™ Cosmetic relaxes the muscles so they do not contract. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing normal facial expression to be unaffected.
Hyperhidrosis (excess sweating): Excess sweating can ruin your clothes, as well as cause both physical and social discomfort. This often embarrassing problem is commonly seen on the underarms of both men and women. However, it can now be treated effectively using BOTOX®. A number of injections are painlessly placed into the area.
It safely and reversibly stuns overactive sweat glands for up to 12 months. The chemical that BOTOX® inhibits for wrinkles is also involved in the release of sweat in the body. This procedure is virtually free of side effects. The treatment does not have any effect on the body’s ability to regulate temperature or on other sweat glands elsewhere on the body. This treatment is also great for individuals sensitive to deodorants and antiperspirants. The treatment of hyperhidrosis is approved by the FDA, covered under a flexible spending account and is often covered by healthcare insurance companies.
Juvederm:
As we grow older, signs of aging become more evident on our faces. This is recognizable as wrinkles and folds. There are various injectable cosmetic fillers available to help improve upon one’s facial appearance and achieve a more youthful look. These fillers add volume and smooth out wrinkles. Collagen and fat are some of the more common fillers. However, Juvederm is a new form of injectable filler that provides advantages over fat and collagen injections.
Juvederm is a non-animal, biodegradable gel based on hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance found in most of our bodies and therefore, rarely causes allergic reactions. Proven to last longer than fat and collagen injections, Juvederm maintains its shape using the body’s own moisture, and is used to shape facial contours, smooth wrinkles, and sculpt lips. The result is a long-lasting, healthy, more youthful, and fuller appearance. Click here for the Juvederm FAQ
Lipodissolve:
LIPODISSOLVE® micro-injections describe a nonsurgical medical procedure for localized fat reduction, cellulite treatment and skin retraction. It is a gentle and gradual procedure aimed to provide cosmetic results in only 1-4 treatment sessions without the use of toxic medications. Injection lipolysis can produce a sometimes huge improvement in body sculpture. According to our present state of knowledge, it is a safe and gentle method for eliminating smaller accumulations of fat at problem zones. It is no substitute for surgical intervention in the case of more extensive body areas, and is also no therapy for weight reduction.
Lipodissolve breaks the bonds in fat cells. The fat is dissolved into liquid and then eliminated from the body. There is usually only mild discomfort associated with this procedure and 2-4 days of swelling.
The minute injections consist of Phosphatidylcholine, which is the chief component of soy lecithin. One significant quality of lecithin is its ability to break down fat.
Phosphatidylcholine is medically proven to reduce cholesterol, increase metabolism and enhance liver and cellular functions. It is a naturally occurring enzyme in the body first used in the 1950’s to reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood and arteries.
While this drug has not yet been approved by the FDA in the United States, doctors in South America and Europe have been treating hundreds of thousands of patients, since 1995, with no adverse effects. Click here for the Lipodissolve FAQ
