Complete Facial Makeovers
To restore a youthful appearance, Dr. Kurzman takes a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. He asks for detailed patient input to find out what the primary concerns are. While this helps him prioritize the course of treatment, it doesn’t end there. “If a patient wants to fix one line, and I know that fixing that one line might make other parts of the face look worse, I recommend appropriate treatments to address the whole face to ensure the best outcome,” Dr. Kurzman says. With a variety of techniques and treatments available, Dr. Kurzman can customize a combination of therapies to suit each individual patient. “While there is no substitute for surgery, I can use various injectables, like Botox®, Dysport®, Sculptra® Aesthetic, Perlane®, Restylane® and Radiesse®, to plump out sunken features, relax expression lines and undo the effects of time,” he says. Other methods involve photorejuvenation such as IPLTM treatments to eliminate redness, rosacea, brown spots and sun damage.

Restoration and Repair
In order to revitalize the skin, Dr. Kurzman utilizes many techniques. He believes photorejuvenation provides a distinct benefit when it comes to enhancing the appearance. IPL treatments use pulses of light to eliminate facial redness, rosacea and brown spots, as well as visible signs of sun damage and aging, he says. Despite the name, Photofacial I also use this therapy on the chest, neck and hands. Treatments take less than 30 minutes and are usually repeated once every four weeks, over the course of four to six months. The procedure is well tolerated without anesthesia, and there is no age limit on who can undergo treatment, he says. Dr. Kurzman has found this procedure to be effective for both men and women. In addition, fillers are used for softening deep crevices and folds. Injectables are very effective at nonsurgically recontouring the aging face.

Philosophy
About my practice:
We have assembled a knowledgeable group of friendly, highly trained professionals who enhance the standards I have set. They uphold my beliefs about patient care and beauty.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment can be used to treat the redness caused form of acne pimples and bumps, topical antibiotics or oral antibiotics, like Doxycycline, or Oracea, which work very nicely when taken at a very low dose. Or we can use a combination of medications with IPL treatments which can keep people with nice clear skin and very little redness. Many get red with specific foods, such as caffeine, alcohol, hot and spicy foods, and also from the sun; so they must take precautions to keep things under control.

What is the difference between injectable fillers such as Restylane, Radiesse, and Juvéderm, Perlane ?
There are different types of fillers. There hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Juvéderm, and the calcium-based Radiesse are the most common. All hyaluronic acid fillers give a similar result, and last about six months to a year, depending on the filler and where it's being injected. Radiesse, which lasts longer (about two years), is for deeper folds, like nasaolabial folds. When injecting the lip or under the eye we use hyaluronic acid fillers, like Restylane, because the skin is thinner in those areas. Fillers used in the other areas are interchangeable and depends on the experience of the doctor.
