Injectables
Skin tightening and wrinkle reduction anti-aging treatments
Injectables and facial fillers offer minimally invasive ways to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with little to no downtime, minimal discomfort, and a low risk of side effects. Popular injectables used for anti-aging treatment include Botox, Juvederm, Juvederm Volbella, Restylane, and Sculptra Aesthetic among others. Botox works to relax the facial muscles that cause frown lines and creases while other treatments work as an injectable filler to restore volume, tighten the skin, and renew collagen for a more youthful appearance.
Dr. Lynne Haven, board-certified dermatologist in Connecticut, performs 100% of all injections performed at her practice and can recommend the best anti-aging treatment options for each patient. She is a certified Diamond partner for Botox and Juvederm treatments. Dr. Haven routinely instructs other dermatologists on how to perform injection treatments.
Laser & Light Treatments
Skin rejuvenation, hair removal, and vein treatment
Cutting edge laser technology now allows dermatologists to treat a variety of troublesome skin conditions using precisely controlled lasers that penetrate only as far into the skin as needed. Laser treatments can diminish the appearance of age spots and sun spots, acne and acne scars, and some fine lines or wrinkles. Laser treatment also works for long-lasting laser hair reduction, laser skin resurfacing, and leg vein treatments to reduce varicose or spider veins. In addition, lasers can remove both vascular and pigmented lesions, as well as tattoos.
Light Treatments
Similar to laser treatments, light treatments can also make changes to the skin and treat many skin conditions. Photodynamic therapy treats acne, acne scarring, rosacea, actinic keratosis, and rejuvenates the skin overall.
Dr. Haven works with each patient to formulate a detailed treatment plan and chooses the best laser settings for optimal results. Laser treatments work for treating medical conditions such as spider veins or scars as well as cosmetic conditions such as skin rejuvenation and tightening.
Body and Face Contouring
Fat reduction and body shaping treatments
Body contouring treatments help to sculpt the body and reduce visible fat bulges through non-invasive procedures. Body contouring can tighten the skin and help reduce unwanted fat in stubborn areas, such as the stomach or thighs.
CoolSculpting is an innovative technology that uses cool temperatures to freeze fat cells, which will eventually die and be absorbed by the body. This non-invasive fat reduction method is a good choice for individuals who exercise yet still can't reduce the appearance of fat in certain areas of the body.
Thermage is both a body contouring and anti-aging treatment. Thermage is used on both the body and the face for skin tightening and body contouring. This treatment can target specific areas to help sculpt and shape the body closer to the patient's goals. Combining body contouring treatments with laser and light treatments or a facial filler can help patients achieve overall aesthetic goals that target all problem areas of the body.
Kybella is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that targets fat deposits under the skin, most commonly known as double chin. Kybella dissolves fat cells in the targeted treatment area, allowing Dr. Haven to reshape the area below the chin for her patients.
