Park Avenue Plastic Surgery Class Dr. Lawrence Bass

Although relatively small, the eyes are the first area of the face to show changes, and have a big impact on one’s appearance. 
When considering which procedure to have for the eyes, first identify your specific concerns: is it volume loss, crepiness underneath the eyes, crow's feet, low brow position, or fat bulging causing bags beneath the eyes?
There's no meaningful substitute for eyelid surgery, but non-surgical treatments are useful for certain concerns around the eyes. Botox and fillers, for example, can raise the brow and treat crow's feet and frown lines, and chemical peels can treat crepiness around the eyes. But when you notice the upper eyelid skin hooding, a lower brow position, or bulging fat pads, it’s time for a surgical approach.
Facial plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Bloom joins Dr. Bass to discuss the full range of treatments for these changes around the eyes.

Historically used for diabetes, Ozempic and Wegovy are now  wildly popular for weight loss. But with substantial weight loss comes volume loss, which needs cosmetic treatment.

Listen to learn how glucagon-like peptides work as a weight loss treatment and whether the pros of losing weight outweigh the cons of the skin laxity it causes.

Working on the fabric of the skin itself does a lot to improve and rejuvenate our appearance when we're in our fifties, sixties, and seventies. Preventive measures when we’re in our twenties, thirties, and forties delays when we have to address the big aging features and preserves our skin at its youthful best. 
As we age, the metabolism of the skin slows down slowing renewal of skin materials. Collagen and elastin, the structural proteins in the skin, diminish and become less organized.  Ground substance materials like hyaluronic acid also diminish leaving skin less firm and full.  We get pigmentation issues, redness issues, visible pores, rough skin texture, and eventually wrinkles.
For anyone wanting to take any and all appropriate action to maintain healthy, youthful skin, listen to learn what happens to the skin as we age and how to slow down the aging process of the skin to stay looking young. 
Find out which treatments are available for treating skin quality and what's out there to prevent and improve these aging signs, including products that contain biologically active ingredients, medications like retinoids, alpha & beta hydroxy acids and growth factors that protect the skin and induce the skin to behave more like youthful skin.

Until the 1980’s, doctors used a small set of lasers as a continuous wave for every medical and cosmetic skin condition, heating and burning off the surface of the target. Dermatologist Dr. Vic Ross characterizes this approach as being like “napalm in the forest,”   Then, Harvard researcher and dermatologist Dr. Rox Anderson recognized these treatments would be much more selective if they were delivered in short pulses and tailored to each condition. 
From there, researchers in laser medicine began investigating and experimenting, starting with pulsed dye lasers for redness and frequencies targeting red and brown spots.  A whole host of laser hair removal devices for different skin types were developed and improved upon over time to be more effective and more controlled. 
Today we also have devices for birthmarks, discoloration, acne, sun damage, lupus lesions, skin tightening and body contouring, and the possibilities are infinite. 
Dermatologist Dr. Vic Ross and Dr. Bass discuss the history and research behind today’s laser devices, an overview of laser-tissue interaction, and what conditions each type of device can treat and correct.
