Atlanta Plastic Surgeon Introduces New In-Office Skin Tightening Technology

ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Jul 2, 2013) - John LeRoy, MD expands his selection of Band Aid cosmetic procedures with Band Aid Skin Tightening using new Protégé technology to reduce wrinkles and skin laxity of the face, neck, and chest. Protégé's unique Energy Flow Control (EFC) system combined with the Atlanta plastic surgeon's specialized experience delivers safe and effective facial rejuvenation results.

Unlike other skin firming technologies where patients' skin must be super-heated to achieve collagen remodeling, Protégé's advanced components precisely warm the deeper dermal layers to induce collagen production and improve the signs of facial aging and loose skin without patient discomfort. Additionally, the technology has built-in safety features to ensure that the treatment levels remain consistent, efficient, and pain-free.

Most Band Aid Skin Tightening patients can expect to see results after the first treatment. While each treatment plan will vary based on the degree of cosmetic correction desired, Dr. LeRoy typically recommends a series of four to six sessions spaced five to ten days apart. Full Band Aid Skin Tightening treatment results can be seen three to six months after initial treatment.

There is no downtime or anesthesia required of Protégé treatment; however, Dr. LeRoy does encourage patients to drink plenty of water the day before and after treatment to avoid dehydration and speed the visibility of results. If desired, Band Aid Skin Tightening treatment with Protégé may be combined with other Band Aid Plastic Surgery procedures such as Band Aid Facelift or Band Aid Liposuction of the double chin to further enhance results.

Introduced only in the first half of 2013, Dr. LeRoy shares about the new treatment's broad appeal, "Band Aid Skin Tightening can benefit a variety of patients: those looking for more permanent wrinkle reduction results in comparison to dermal injectables or those looking to improve overall aesthetic in conjunction with facial procedures like rhinoplasty."

Though effective and convenient technology, Dr. LeRoy stresses to patients the importance of only entrusting a qualified provider, such as a board certified plastic surgeon, who has facial skin tightening experience to avoid treatment complications or inferior results.
