Acne Scars

Since acne scars come in various sizes and shapes, individualizing treatments becomes necessary to maximize the results. At the consultation, Dr. Rapaport chooses one or a number of different methods that are customized to your needs. For example, subcision (undermining), the TCA CROS Method, Fraxel resurfacing, CO2 or Erbium Laser Resurfacing, and the use of filler substances are appropriate for different types of lesions.

Acne Treatments with Isolaz™

If you’re frustrated with acne and wish you had clear, radiant skin - you’re not alone. In fact, over 60 million Americans suffer from acne, and unfortunately, many have had difficulty finding a treatment that works. You may have tried manual exfoliates, harsh chemical peels or over-the-counter cleansers or oral medications for persistent acne, yet you are still frustrated with breakouts. Isolaz™, a breakthrough, painless laser treatment for acne, may be the solution you’re looking for.

Breast Lift, Implants and Reduction

For many women, breast size can have a dramatic effect on their social and psychological well-being. Fortunately, with the many advances in cosmetic procedures, breast size can be enhanced, decreased or breasts can even be lifted to better fit the proportions of the woman's body. We have helped many women who have had marked improvement in their self esteem after cosmetic surgery has brought them closer to their personal standard of beauty.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peel uses a chemical solution to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers. It is helpful for those persons with facial blemishes, wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation. Chemical peel is most often performed for cosmetic reasons, to enhance appearance and self confidence. Chemical peel may also remove pre-cancerous skin growths, soften acne facial scars and even control acne.

Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

As we age, loose or puffy skin can develop around the eyes, making us appear more tired or older than we are. By surgically enhancing the areas around the eyes, the entire face is given a more youthful, rested appearance. Our surgical technique's focus on removing fatty bulges above and below the eyes, as well as removing hanging skin from the upper or lower eyelids.

Cosmetic Fillers (Botox® & Restylane)

BOTOX® is injected in small doses, mainly to counteract facial features such as crow’s feet, frown lines, laugh lines, and forehead lines. Restylane® adds facial curves, fills depressions, levels facial wrinkles and shapes lips. Both products are equally good but their applications vary with the patient’s condition, requirements, and circumstances under which the product has been used.

Earlobe Repairs

Torn earlobes are a common problem for women due to wearing heavy earrings or earrings which are pulled upon, causing the tear. Torn earlobes can be easily repaired under local anesthesia as an office procedure.

Endermologie Cellulite Treatment

Elan MediSpa and The Dermatology Center at Old Bridge offers a patented cellulite treatment technique, ENDERMOLOGIE, that uses a refreshing, non-surgical procedure applied through a course of weekly sessions. From head to toe, ENDERMOLOGIE enhances skin condition, and goes where no other available treatment can in combating fatty deposits that cause cellulite.

Enlarged Pores

Tendencies for large pores are largely based on genetics, so chances are if your parents had them, you will too. Although they are more common on those with oily skin, large pores can also happen to those with drier complexions. Pores tend to get larger as we age and occur most often in what’s called the "T-zone," or the area from your chin up the center of your face to your forehead.

Face and Endoscopic Brow Lift

As we age, the skin covering the upper and lower part of the face and neck begins to wrinkle and lose elasticity. Signs of this manifest in the deepening of the lines that run from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth, deeper vertical wrinkles, and loose skin or fat under the chin. Eyelids begin to look heavier, and crows feet begin to appear next to the eyes. Creases in the forehead and between the eyebrows become deeper and give the face a tired, frustrated look. A face and brow lift can reverse signs of aging, and are two of the most accepted and frequently performed cosmetic procedures.

Fraxel Laser Treatment

Fraxel™ Laser Treatment is a unique laser therapy that dramatically repairs fine lines, wrinkles, and improve skin texture and pigmentation without downtime. Combining the best of lasers technology with the science of dermatology, the Fraxel Laser utilizes a new technology called Fractional Resurfacing. The entire face can be treated with the laser in approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Side effects are minimal, usually swelling and redness, with little risk of infection or scarring.

Laser Hair Removal

Finally, unwanted hair can be permanently removed, putting an end to routine shaving and waxing for both men and women. All areas of the body can be treated, including the ears, noses, bikini, underarm, chin, frontal hairline, back and leg areas. This treatment is even effective for razor bumps seen on the back of the neck or men or ingrown hairs which often plague the bikini area.

Laser Resurfacing

Using a wand like laser hand piece wrinkles are vaporized and replaced by fresh skin cells. Laser Resurfacing is used to erase fine lines and wrinkles of the face, especially on the upper lip, cheeks and forehead. It also smoothes and tightens eyelid skin, improves crow's feet around the eyes, softens pucker marks and frown lines, removes brown spots and splotchy, uneven skin color, improves and flattens scars, and repairs smoker's lines. Laser Resurfacing provides more control in the depth of penetration, allowing more precision and safety in the treatment.

Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures requested. Liposuction helps to sculpt a patient's body in ways that diet and exercise never could by getting rid of fat cells in trouble areas once and for all. If you have trouble spots that have plagued you for years, liposuction could be the solution you've been looking for.

Medical Microdermabrasion

A very minimally invasive procedure that does not typically produce bleeding but can be done on a regular and repetitive basis to remove the most superficial layers of dead skin cells in order to produce a rejuvenated skin appearance. Microdermabrasion can also be helpful in removing blackheads and whiteheads of comedonal acne.

Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)

Second only to the eyes, the nose is the most prominent feature of the face. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of the nose, change the shape of the tip or bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils or change the angle between the nose and the upper lip. Although many choose Rhinoplasty to cosmetically enhance the shape of their nose, others seek surgery after a facial injury or to help relieve breathing problems.

Photo Rejuvenation (Photo Facial)

Skin treatments using the photo rejuvenation process represent a breakthrough in age-defying skin care. This new technique treats skin damage non invasively, as there is no disruption of the skin’s epidermal surface.

Pigmented Lesions & Age/Sun Spot Removal

Brown spots that appear on the skin are known by many names: sunspots, age spots, liver spots, and freckles. Most pigmented lesions can be directly attributed to overexposure to the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays. There are different treatments available to reduce unwanted brown spots. The type of lesion will determine the best method for removing it.

Sculptra® Fillers

Sculptra® cosmetic filler reduces wrinkles, lines and furrows around your mouth, eyes, cheeks, lips and neck. Sculptra® can produce semi-permanent results with a fuller fresher more youthful appearance, and produces results that are fully evident in three to six treatment sessions and lasts up to two years.

Spider Veins

Spider veins are formed by the dilation of small blood vessels near the surface of the skin. They can appear on any part of the body, but are commonly found on the face and legs. Spider veins appear as a "sunburst" pattern of reddish to purplish small veins and while not a health hazard, they are disfiguring. The incidence of spider veins seems to have a hereditary basis, and increases with age. In women, pregnancy and hormonal changes may contribute to their development.

Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are caused by a rapid expansion of skin due to pregnancy or weight gain. When skin is stretched excessively it causes tiny tears in the second layer of skin, and in many cases the top layer of skin, leaving stretch marks. This breakdown and/or loss of Collagen and Elastin fibers causes scars. They can vary in color from a light pink to a dark purple.

Surgical Facelift

The best candidate for a facelift is someone whose face and neck has begun to sag, but whose skin still has some elasticity and whose bone structure is strong and well defined. It is important to remember that a face-lift will not give you a totally different look, but rather a fresher version of yourself.

ThermaCool (Non-Surgical Face Lift)

The new ThermaCool Facelift lifts and tightens the aging face without surgery, without lasers and without recovery time. This new FDA approved technology uses gentle radio frequency waves to rejuvenate sagging skin and diminish fine wrinkles.

Thread Lift

Thread Lift is a simple procedure that offers quick results, easy recovery and a subtle face lift without surgery. It is a minimally invasive face-lifting procedure that involves the placement of special nylon threads in a loop fashion and then pulling them upwards. The threads are placed with a needle through a small incision in the hairline and then tensioned according to the degree of suspension required. Threads can easily be removed, added or changed.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Abdominoplasty, also known as a Tummy Tuck, is a surgical procedure to eliminate your mid-drift bulge, pooch, paunch, spare tire, or belly. Excess skin and tissue is removed, muscles are tightened and incisions are hidden well below the waist band for discreet suture lines. People who have lost weight but still suffer from excess skin or a flabby tummy that won't respond to further exercise often select this procedure.

Varicose Veins

Varicose veins develop in the legs because of the pressure required in the lower part of the body for the veins to send blood back to the heart. This can break the valves and allow blood to pool, causing the unsightly appearance of varicose veins. Over time, varicose veins can become enlarged and quite painful, even causing swelling in the feet and legs. Varicose veins are no longer functional, so no damage is done to the circulatory system by removing them.
