Dr. Mittelman’s practice offers a number of procedures that can reduce wrinkles and rejuvenate the face without the scalpel. These treatments can create younger looking skin without the downtime associated with a surgical procedure.
BOTOX® Cosmetic has become one of the most popular and fastest growing treatments cosmetic surgeons offer, and for good reason. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a safe, effective way to reduce fine lines on the face.
BOTOX® Cosmetic works by paralyzing muscles of the face that furrow brows and create fine lines and creases on the skin. BOTOX® Cosmetic, administered in a series of small injections, can reduce the appearance of these lines, and help prevent others from forming.
BOTOX® Cosmetic offers results with no downtime, no scarring, and a short treatment time. It is a treatment that can easily be undergone during a patient's lunch hour. Because a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment lasts three to six months, any patient unhappy with the results can simply discontinue injections. Contact Dr. Mittelman about BOTOX® Cosmetic today.
Wrinkle fillers are injectable compounds used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The injection of wrinkle fillers is a time-tested treatment method that can be used alone or in conjunction with other facial plastic surgery procedures to achieve a smoother and more youthful appearance. There are many fillers available now to suit each individual's needs and goals.
Restylane® is a cosmetic dermal filler made of non-animal based hyaluronic acid. It can be used to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
Juvederm™ is the newest FDA-approved dermal filler made from non-animal derived hyaluronic acid. It can also be used to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Because it is a smooth consistency gel, it is an ideal filler for fine lip lines as well as lip volumizing and contouring.
Perlane® is a cosmetic dermal filler, similar to Restylane®, but is composed of larger gel particles of hyaluronic acid. It is ideal for deeper injection to provide volume, support, and a structural lift for facial creases and hollows.
Radiesse™ is a synthetic compound comprised of calcium hydroxylapatine that has a cream-like texture. In some cases, it can prove to be longer-lasting than some of the other dermal fillers.
Sculptra™ is a synthetic injectable made of poly-L lactic acid. Poly-L lactic acid is biocompatible and biodegradable and has been used for many years. Sculptra™ is injected primarily into areas of fat loss. It will provide a gradual increase in skin thickness. Visible results appear within the first few treatment sessions. Patients with severe facial fat loss may require three to four treatment sessions.
Captique™ is a clear gel containing a purified form of hyaluronic acid. It adds volume to skin that is lost during the aging process by temporarily smoothing facial lines and wrinkles.
Cosmoderm™ and Cosmoplast™ are dermal fillers that are purified from human dermal tissue, therefore no longer requiring a skin test prior to treatment. They are also appropriate for correction of facial winkles, acne scars, and other soft tissue deficiencies.

The new Titan™ laser offers an effective, non-invasive way to treat loose skin. The laser works on the same principle as a collagen injection - that having more collagen can tighten areas with loose skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
The Titan™ laser uses light energy to simulate new collagen growth. The device uses a safe infrared light to heat the dermis, while the outer layer of skin is protected by the Titan™’s special cooling mechanism.
The Titan™ has been used successfully on patients of all skin types to correct loose skin on the abdomen, upper arms, jawline, under the chin, and other places where skin is lax. Contact Dr. Mittelman today to find out if the Titan™ Laser can help you.
The Fraxel™ Laser is a new treatment that has been developed to treat fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. The Fraxel™ Laser works in much the same way as laser skin resurfacing and offers similar results, but the difference is that because of a fractional approach, Fraxel™ Laser treatment results in no downtime, few side effects, and very little discomfort.
The Fraxel™ Laser is designed to alter minute, "fractional" volumes of the skin, one at a time. It produces microscopic treatment areas separated by healthy tissue. The healthy tissue separating the treated areas promotes rapid healing. The Fraxel™ Laser treatment is quick and requires no pain medicine or days off following your trip to the office. Contact Dr. Mittelman about the Fraxel™ Laser today.
Thermage® is a non-invasive procedure that uses a patented radio frequency technology called ThermaCool™ to tighten the skin and smooth out wrinkles. The procedure works by heating the collagen underneath the skin to stimulate the growth of new collagen, all while the specialized equipment remains cool to the touch. The deep uniform heating action causes deep structures in the skin to immediately tighten. As the collagen production increases over time, the result is healthier, more youthful skin.
IPL® (Intense Pulsed Light) is also known as a photo-facial. Photo Genesis is an innovative method of quickly and comfortably improving the texture, tone, and color of your skin, not only on your face, but also your chest, arms, and hands without the need for any anesthetic. This treatment is especially effective in the treatment of skin redness (rosacea), brown spots, and sun damage.
Laser Genesis is a breakthrough, non-ablative photorejuvenation procedure that addresses common aging skin conditions. It is effective in reducing wrinkles, decreasing pore size, improving redness and skin texture. You will be left with a healthier, younger-looking complexion with no recovery time or discomfort!
The CoolGlide Excel® is a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser which treats telangiectasias, or facial capillaries, with no downtime and no anesthesia!
Laser Hair Removal can help you get rid of unwanted facial or body hair permanently. Using the ProWave technology, three distinct treatments programs can be used to customize your treatment disabling the hair follicles that cause unwanted hair growth. No numbing cream or gel required! Laser Hair removal is a safe, effective treatment that can be immensely satisfying to patients! It is a quick procedure which is much less painful than waxing or electrolysis and with superior results!
