Don’t let your concerns about down time, cost and recovery keep you from looking younger!  Now, you can experience the benefits of Fraxel re:pair in less time, with less cost and little recovery!  Fraxel re:pair Lite is now being offered here at Chevy Chase Facial Plastic Surgery.  Performed at a more superficial level, Fraxel Lite can give you all the benefits of a regular Fraxel treatment, only at a level that is not as intense.  These include:

• Smaller pore size
• Sun damage correction
• Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
• Smoother, tighter skin

To find out if you are a good candidate for Fraxel re:pair or Fraxel Lite, contact our office at 301.652.8191 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Porter.  You can find out more information on our website here.

We had another Botox Day on Monday and it was great!  People came, they saw, they got injected!  And they even enjoyed some excellent refreshments along the way!  Why should you come visit us for Botox Day?  That’s easy: you get 10% off your Botox treatment that day and some yummy goodies, to boot!  Why wouldn’t you want to come next time!?  Check out our list of upcoming Botox Days under the What’s New section of our website.

Thank you to all of the people who were able to make it to our Non Surgical Rejuvenation Seminar!  We hope all of you enjoyed Dr. Porter’s presentation and the information that all of our reps provided about non surgical options.  The conversation was lively, the times were good and everybody was able to learn something new!  If you weren’t able to make it out last night, don’t worry!  You can always schedule a consultation or keep your eye on our website and emails for upcoming events!

Rhinoplasty is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in our practice.  And people get it for different reasons.  As Dr. Porter says, “No two are quite the same.  We see patients that have had no prior surgery and want to have minimal changes to merely enhance their features — not look like a different person.  We also see patients that have had 2 or 3 prior surgeries, and are unable to breathe or have complications of the surgery that need addressing.”

Dr. Porter has performed hundreds of surgeries.  During the consultation, you will discuss history, expectations and procedure.  Computer imaging is also available for patients who need a more visual approach.  It can give you a good idea of what your nose could look like after Dr. Porter performs her magic!

The moment of truth is when the cast is taken off.  As one patient exclaimed, “This is the nose that I should have been born with”!  If you’ve ever thought about changing that slight bump or want a more dramatic reduction, we can help you!  Call to set up a consultation today!

Don’t forget about our Non Surgical Rejuvenation Seminar on April 14^th!  Space is filling up, fast and we don’t want you to lose your opportunity to find out more about some options you have, just short of surgery!  We’ve invited some of our representatives to be available to answer any questions you might have about their products and procedures.  We will also be having some great specials that will be offered only to seminar attendees that night, only.  Light refreshments will also be provided for attendees.  Have questions or want to sign up?  Call us at 301.652.8191.  We can’t wait to hear from you!

Remember the oft-cited Golden Rule that you learned in grade school?  Treat others as you would like to be treated.  The same goes for your skin!  If you pamper your skin, it’ll return the favor with a healthy and beautiful glow.  Dr. Porter and Shana, our Aesthetician, can devise a treatment plan just for you.  With the right skin care products (you know that the toner you used as a teenager just isn’t cutting it anymore) and the right treatments (think regular peels and microderms) your skin will reward you by behaving like you want it to!  This could mean smoother skin, more resilient skin or more even tone.  Ask us how!
