Cosmetic Frequently Asked Questions

Advanced alternatives to plastic surgery.

Acne and Acne Scarring Treatments
At East End Laser Care we address acne and the scarring that so often has plagued many of our patients for years. Using the most current “state-of-the-art” lasers including Fraxel re:pair, Fraxel re:store and Nlite, along with Microdermabrasion, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and injectable fillers (Collagen and Restylane), we successfully treat acne and acne scarring. We will be happy to help you decide which treatment would be right for you.

BOTOX®
Worry lines, frown lines, laugh or smile lines, crow’s feet …these are all “dynamic” wrinkles caused from years of living and using facial muscles to show expression. The more emotion we show…the deeper the wrinkles and lines can be. Botox injections can safely and effectively soften lines and reduce wrinkles.

Collagen
Collagen Replacement Therapy has been the choice of our patients for many years. FDA approved for cosmetic enhancement more than 10 years ago, Collagen has been the safest alternative to facial rejuvenation without facial plastic surgery.

Juvederm™
JUVEDERM ™, the next generation in dermal fillers is smoother, more versatile, and more advanced than anything on the market today. Used in Europe for many years, Juvederm recently received FDA approval as a filler for lines and wrinkles in the nasolabial folds (deep grooves or lines that extend from the corners of the nose down along the mouth).
Juvederm treatment information

Laser Hair Removal
Traditional techniques such as shaving, plucking and waxing provide only “temporary” relief. Electrolysis can be painful, time consuming and limited to small cosmetic areas. Side effects such as allergic reactions, ingrown hairs and scarring are all common when using the traditional hair removal methods. Laser hair removal is now chosen more often than any other method because of the benefits it offers.

Laser Wrinkle Reduction
In this age when we’re more “appearance conscious” – wrinkles are not acceptable! Today, there are several non-invasive wrinkle treatments available including Fraxel re:pair, Fraxel re:store and NLite laser treatment.

Mesotherapy/LipoDissolve
These safe, non-invasive forms of treatment for cellulite and fat are used to get rid of fat under the chin, in the abdomen, back, buttocks, thighs, knees, and love handles. They are effective for bags under the eyes and fat around the mouth and in the jowl areas. Mesotherapy and LipoDissolve are considered the “homerun” of the cosmetic world rivaling what liposuction does for plastic surgery. Nothing even comes close to the “cellulite” results achieved with these therapies.

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is quick, simple, convenient and popular among patients showing early signs of aging, sun exposure and other facial imperfections. Not only does it exfoliate the skin’s surface – it also promotes new cell growth in the basal (deepest) layer of the skin (dermis) – it cleans the pores and stimulates collagen networking to further improve the skin’s texture.

Jane Iredale mineral make-up offers a revolutionary good for you make-up that delivers a flawless face. Oil-free, light reflecting, synthetic/fragrance free, SPF 15 make-up line perfect for all skin types.

SmartLipo TriPlex™
SmartLipo TriPlex™ is a laser treatment for body contouring and body sculpting that virtually melts fat cells which are then suctioned away with some of it removed by the body’s lymphatic system. The MPX technology is updated from the original SmartLipo system in that it uses two wave-lengths of laser light offering better results. The laser method for fat removal and body sculpting has been used in Europe, Asia and South America for about 10 years and was approved by the FDA for use in the United States in 2006.

Radiesse®
Radiesse is a painless alternative to various cosmetic treatments – that is now being offered to Dr. Covey’s patients. It is a safe, effective, long-lasting treatment for those unwanted facial defects such as “smile lines” (also called nasolabial folds) and other areas of the face that need augmenting.

Restylane™
As we age – so does our face. Loss of shape and definition creates changing impressions of beauty as lines and wrinkles and skin folds take over. Made in Sweden – the “land of natural beauties” – Restylane treatments can restore fullness, contour and smoothness that have been lost with time. This safe, natural substance is a cosmetic, dermal filler that is made from the body’s own material –“hylauronic acid” and provides instantaneous, long-lasting natural enhancement.

Thermage CPT
THERMAGE/THERMAL LIFT – As featured on Oprah and in many women’s magazines. This “no downtime” – non-surgical facelift is now being used to tighten the eyelids and under eye areas, that loose skin on the arms and legs and to “lift” those sagging buttocks! Other body areas may now be done as well. Now with just one single treatment, Thermage CPT can help tighten, lift and firm your knees, help you lose inches around your waistline, thighs and arms, give you flatter, smoother skin on your tummy and legs and reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Volumalift Nonsurgical Facelift
Restylift (Volumalift)™, also known as "Injectable Facelift" and "Liquid Facelift", is not like traditional facelift surgery which often results in a taut or gaunt appearance. Rather, Restylift (Volumalift)™ restores youthfulness immediately by replacing the volume that has been lost over time. Once this volume is replaced – you, once again, enjoy a soft, contoured, youthful appearance, and that “tired” look is gone!
