Recently, social media has become so intertwined with everyday life that it is difficult to remember the way things once were–a time when women and men weren’t worried about whether or not they were “camera-ready.” Social media and selfies truly have reinvented the way we see and choose to present ourselves to others. This desire to look our best has led to a spike in facial cosmetic procedures across the board, especially ones that enhance a person’s profile. A common spot that patients desire to transform is the area beneath the chin.

For years, tummy tuck surgery was the only cosmetic way to achieve a toned and sculpted abdomen. Tummy tuck surgery is so beneficial because it not only removes unwanted, excess abdominal fat but also treats skin laxity, something that most non-surgical or minimally-invasive procedures cannot do. Even liposuction, with its powerful ability to remove unwanted fat cells, cannot tighten skin adequately and, therefore, is not always a viable alternative to tummy tuck surgery. Fortunately, those days seem to be coming to a close.

Gynecomastia is a condition many men experience at some point in their life. Gynecomastia is the presence of enlarged breast tissue, more commonly referred to as “man boobs.” Gynecomastia can develop during puberty or be the result of taking prescription medications, steroids, or marijuana. Unfortunately for many men, excess breast tissue causes anxiety in one’s appearance, which can lead to lasting insecurities in a person’s self-image and confidence The presence of this overdeveloped breast tissue leads many men to shy away from social or intimate interactions and forces them to feel as though they need to hide the appearance of their breasts. For years, this condition has been treated through gynecomastia surgery; however, there is now a less-invasive option to combating this condition. At North Shore Aesthetics, Dr. Schlechter offers Renuvion™ to treat gynecomastia.

Lotions, creams, laser resurfacing, dermal fillers, surgery, and now blood? As unusual as it may sound, your blood is the newest way to revamp your facial skincare routine. A natural alternative to dermal fillers and a less invasive approach than cosmetic surgery or laser resurfacing, your blood contains the secret ingredient needed to achieve a more youthful-looking, rejuvenated complexion. This ingredient is platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Platelets are a component of your blood that is responsible for tissue healing and new cell growth. Separating these platelets from your blood and injecting a higher concentration of them can improve the quality of your facial skin and rejuvenate your appearance.
