Hand Rejuvenation

Often hands give away your age. Despite your best efforts in taking care of your face,  thin and bony hands are telltale signs of age. In the past, it has been difficult to treat hands. Fat transfer was an option, but often fat didn’t survive and also looked lumpy. Radiesse®—also known as calcium hydroxylapatite—has revolutionized hand rejuvenation. One Radiesse® injection into each hand will plump up your hands for up to 10 months. Following the procedure, you may have some bruising and aching, but otherwise there is minimal downtime.

Permanent treatment for underarm sweating

Does excessive underarm perspiration stain your clothing and cause embarrassment? In the past, Botox® has been a reasonable treatment, but it is temporary and can be very expensive because of the necessity of treatments every six months.

Now Dr. Gladstone is offering a minimally invasive procedure to reduce excessive underarm sweating. By making small incisions and using a micro liposuction canula, the number of underarm sweat glands can be reduced. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes less than one hour. After the procedure, there can be some bruising and discomfort, but usually downtime is minimal. Reduction of underarm sweating is usually permanent.

 

Shaping your upper arm

Even those individuals who are terrifically fit can have flabby upper arms. Are you one of those individuals? No matter what exercises or dieting you do, your arms still retain this shape. Clothing just doesn’t fit right, and sleeveless blouses and shirts only draw attention to your upper arms. In the past, a procedure known as a full brachioplasty that leaves long, thick unsightly scars on the bottom of your upper arm was the only solution.
Now Dr. Gladstone has been able to use a minimally invasive procedure to treat those with moderate excess fat and sagging skin of the upper arms. By combining liposuction with microcannulas and an incision hidden under your arms, Dr. Gladstone can perform this procedure under local anesthesia. The procedure takes about 90 minutes. You will have bruising and some swelling for the first several days. Discomfort is fairly mild, though your arms will ache for a few days. Stitches stay in for two weeks. Yet, the scar is well hidden. For the appropriate patient, this liposuction with minimally invasive brachioplasty has revolutionized arm lifts. This is a superb procedure for the right individual. It is not for those patients who have lost a significant amount of weight (100 lbs). Nevertheless this minimally invasive procedure can significantly decrease the loose skin that contributes to “bat wings” and “butcher arms.”
