Aesthetic Concerns

Acne Scarring

Acne can leave behind post-inflammatory pigmentation and different types of scarring, from mild textural changes to deeper, pitted scars. Because different types of acne scars respond to different treatments, Dr. Grodberg will carefully evaluate your skin and may recommend a customized combination of lasers, microneedling, radiofrequency microneedling, and other resurfacing treatments. Sofwave, which is FDA-cleared for the treatment of acne scars, may also be incorporated when appropriate.

Brown SPOTS, Age Spots

Noticable brown spots on sun-exposed skin typically appear as we age. It is important for these marks to be evaluated by a board-certified dermatologist prior to attempting removal. After evaluation, Dr. Grodberg can treat clinically benign age spots with the ideal treatment selected from a variety of techniques including Lasers such as Excel V and Alexandrite Laser, Chemical Peels, Cryotherapy, and Intense Pulse Light.

BODY SCULPTING

Skin laxity is a common concern due to the gradual loss of collagen and elastin that occurs with aging. After a complete evaluation of the areas of concern, Dr. Grodberg may recommend Sofwave, which uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production; Exilis Ultra, which uses radiofrequency energy; Secret RF, which combines microneedling with radiofrequency; or biostimulatory fillers such as Sculptra and Radiesse to improve skin quality and laxity.

Treatment is customized based on the area and degree of laxity. Frequently requested areas include the abdomen, arms, chest, and thighs and knees.

CHIN RESHAPING

Expertly placed filler in the chin can enhance the chin and profile. This noninvasive approach can improve facial proportions, restore balance to an aging face, give a weak chin more definition, restore lost volume and address wrinkles.

Cosmetic Consultation

A cosmetic consultation is the perfect place to start the conversation about your concerns, options, and expectations. Dr. Grodberg approaches each patient as an individual and she will work with you to devise a plan to achieve a natural, rejuvenated appearance. Dr. Grodberg offers a thorough and realistic explanation of what can be expected during the suggested treatments and afterwards and how to maintain results with at-home skincare regimens.

DOUBLE CHIN REDUCTION

Submental fat, the cause of the condition commonly known as a “double chin,” can be addressed nonsurgically with Kybella injections. Kybella dissolves fat cells to reduce small areas of excess fat. Some patients may also experience a mild skin-tightening effect after treatment.

Kybella can be combined with skin-tightening treatments such as Sofwave, which uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production, or Exilis Ultra, which uses radiofrequency energy, to further address skin laxity and enhance results.

Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can be treated with injections of Botox into areas with overactive sweat glands. This treatment is FDA approved for the armpits. A tiny needle is used to inject Botox into the area which can be pretreated with topical numbing cream. The results often last 3-6 months and can be especially helpful for special occasions like weddings and job interviews.

Eye Rejuvenation

We all know the challenges—under-eye bags, crow’s-feet, dark circles, or overall puffiness. Treating the skin surrounding the eyes is a “good news/bad news” story. The bad news is that the eye area has some of the thinnest skin on the body, making it delicate and easily irritated. The good news is that this skin can be particularly responsive to treatment.

Dr. Grodberg evaluates each patient individually and recommends the appropriate treatment approach, which may include lasers, skin-tightening treatments such as Sofwave, Exilis Ultra, and Secret RF, fillers such as Restylane and RHA 1, neuromodulators such as Botox, and topical cosmeceuticals.

Facial Redness

Genetic factors, Rosacea and chronic sun exposure can all contribute to red blotchy skin. Dr. Grodberg achieves great success treating this condition using topical treatments and cutting edge devices like the Excel V laser, Lasergenesis and IPL to target diffuse redness, individual enlarged blood vessels, and red spots. She even offers a popular “Red Relief Package” combining several modalities for comprehensive coverage.

Hair Restoration

Hair loss can be a distressing condition with many potential causes. A careful evaluation can help identify the type of hair loss, contributing factors, and the most appropriate treatment approach.

Treatment may include prescription medications, nutritional supplements, PRP injections, REVIAN red light therapy, and KeraFactor scalp treatments, used alone or in combination to support hair growth in both women and men.

Hair Removal

Laser hair removal removes unwanted body hair by destroying hair follicles with light energy. The laser beam targets the pigment in the hair and so it works best on dark hair in light skinned individuals. Multiple treatments are often required to minimize hair and a realistic treatment plan based on each patient’s combination of factors is discussed during the initial consultation.

Jawline

The jawline is a highly noticeable facial feature that can benefit from Dr. Grodberg’s comprehensive knowledge of facial anatomy. She prefers a combination approach to achieving and maintaining jawline definition, customized for each patient. Strategically placed fillers, neuromodulators such as Botox for a “Nefertiti Lift,” and skin-tightening treatments including Sofwave, Exilis Ultra, and Secret RF can be used alone or in combination to contour and define the lower face.

Lip Enhancement

Thin lips, whether caused by genetics or aging, can be a source of concern for those who prefer a plumper pout. Fine lines around the mouth are a related issue that can now be addressed without adding volume to the lips. Procedures including Botox “Lip Flip” and microneedling can be used to improve this area. No matter your lip preference, Dr. Grodberg’s trained eye, expert injection techniques and extensive knowledge of the anatomy of the lip area, and familiarity with the latest innovations in injectable fillers and procedures will help you achieve your desired results.

Neck, Chest and Decolletage Rejuvenation

These sensitive areas require careful consideration when addressing pigmentation, wrinkling, crepey skin, and sun damage. Effective treatment often requires a combination of modalities, including lasers such as Fraxel and Clear + Brilliant; Intense Pulsed Light (IPL); neuromodulators such as Botox; skin-tightening treatments including Sofwave, Exilis Ultra, and Secret RF; and carefully placed fillers and biostimulatory treatments such as RHA 1 and hyperdilute Sculptra. Dr. Grodberg will assess these challenging areas and recommend the right combination for each individual.

Wrinkles, Sagging Skin

Wrinkles and sagging skin naturally result from several factors, including loss of structural support from bone and fat, as well as changes in collagen and elastin. Dr. Grodberg evaluates each patient’s unique concerns to create an individualized treatment and maintenance plan. Options may include an optimized skin care regimen, Sofwave to stimulate collagen and elastin, other skin-tightening technologies, neuromodulators, fillers, and biostimulatory treatments.
