A great facial treatment for today’s busy lifestyle, dermaplaning
immediately improves the appearance of your face with no
downtime.
How Does Dermaplaning Work?
Also referred to as dermablading, the procedure is carefully performed with a fine blade, by our credentialed staff, without the need for any anesthetic. There are no needles, cuts or injections that penetrate the skin. The treatment is completely non-invasive, as the blade’s edge just removes what’s unwanted on the surface of your skin to address many common skin issues, including those caused by sun damage and time:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Brown discoloration
Clogged pores and acne
Dull complexion
Dry or rough texture
Fine vellus hair, called “peach fuzz”
In 25-30 minutes, dermaplaning reveals soft, smooth skin by
removing the excess build up of “dead cells” and debris on the
surface of the face and sweeping away “peach fuzz” (fine hair). (See
our video on our Facebook page). By eliminating surface debris, the
technique not only restores a glow to your skin, it also removes the
debris blocking pores and improves acne. Superficial fine
wrinkles and pigmentation on the skin are also improved by
dermaplaning. Removing the excess build up of dead cells and
debris from the surface enhances the penetration and
effectiveness of skin care products optimizing the results. The
removal of “peach fuzz” helps make up go on more smoothly.
These effects of dermaplaning give your skin additional
enhancement after other rejuvenating treatments such as Botox
and filler injections, making it a great add-on procedure for even
better results! Dermaplaning is perfect for both men and women of
any skin type—fair to dark. Monthly maintenance treatments keep
your skin at its best.
Does Dermaplaning Hurt?
Unlike other “non-surgical” treatments, this procedure is There are no injections or needles penetrating your skin to cause micro-injuries.

Do you long for longer eyelashes? Naturally, Latisse is your solution. Latisse is an FDA-approved prescription product in the form of a solution. By using Latisse your own lashes become longer, fuller and darker. Because they’re your own, your lashes look very natural and you’re free to do as you please without your lovely lashes coming off.
You can forget about the hassle of extensions and synthetic lashes which fall off and look fake, especially as they come off, and need to be replenished with monthly appointments. With simple at-home application, Latisse will gradually enhance your lashes so they’re beautiful and natural-looking.
How it works
Latisse prolongs the growth phase of eyelash hair allowing them to grow longer. It also keeps more of your lashes in their growth phase, rather than the resting phase, adding to the number and thickness of your lashes. It takes about 4 to 8 weeks to start noticing the enhancement. As you continue to use Latisse your lashes continue to lengthen. Once your lashes are long and full, continue applying Latisse to keep them looking that way. Come back and get more before you run out of Latisse, or your lashes will gradually revert back to their original appearance over the next 2-3 months.
As Latisse enhances your own lashes, you don’t have to worry about them coming off, like glued lash extensions, when you rub your eyes, swim or simply wash and dry your face.
Does this have you wondering if Latisse can have the same benefits for thinning eyebrows? In fact, even though Latisse has FDA approval to be used for enhancing eyelashes only, it has been successfully employed (off-label) for enhancing eyebrows as well. Even more benefits of Latisse may become apparent in the future! Latisse is being evaluated in trials for its effectiveness for thinning scalp hair.
Latisse comes with applicator brushes and a package insert that details how it should be applied and its possible risks. At the Laser and Skin Surgery Center, Dr. Diwan will give you detailed instructions on how to get the most out of the product and your investment in your lashes. For your convenience, at your next visit, you can take home a bottle of Latisse from our office!

Is the aging process showing on your skin? Have frustrating stretch marks? Or is it relief from acne scarring that you’re seeking? If any or all of these strike a nerve, consider microneedling. It can revitalize your skin without the need for surgery or a lot of recovery time. Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is an excellent alternative for those who might prefer to avoid laser treatments or chemical peels.
What Happens to Aging Skin?
Over time your body’s ability to generate essential elements of healthy-looking skin, collagen and elastin, diminishes. Collagen stimulation by microneedling helps to revitalize the skin and improve its appearance.
What Does Microneedling Help?
Regular microneedling treatments at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center can work wonders to restore and rejuvenate many common skin conditions, including:
Wrinkles and fine lines
Enlarged pores
Hyperpigmentation and sun spots
Acne, surgical, or post-traumatic scars
Dull, or uneven tone and texture
Stretch marks
Are Microneedling Treatments Painful?
Microneedling is typically well-tolerated by our patients. An anesthetic cream is applied to the skin before starting the procedure for maximal comfort.
What Can I Expect After Microneedling Treatments?
Mild redness and swelling are expected after microneedling, and usually subside within a couple of days. Make-up can be applied after 24 hours. After a series of treatments the skin is healthier and more vibrant. The skin’s tone and texture is improved and feels tighter. It’s important to keep the skin protected from the sun by always applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen and wearing a wide-brimmed hat.

Botox to Reverse the Signs of Aging
Wrinkles and lines between the brows, the crow’s feet creases around the eyes, and wrinkles on the forehead can be targeted with Botox injections. Botox is a safe and effective treatment and is the perfect wrinkle relaxer to keep the signs of aging at bay.
Botox as a Preventative Measure
We all know and love Botox for its ability to erase wrinkles and lines once they’ve set in. Botox can prevent wrinkles from becoming a permanent feature of your skin by erasing them at the earliest stage, before they get deeper.
Why Choose Botox with Dr. Diwan?
Botox is a powerful anti-aging treatment that can work wonders for your appearance.

Her keen eye allows her to strategically inject Botox exactly where you need it so that your face doesn’t look like you had some “work done.”
To enhance those results even further, Dr. Diwan may suggest combination with other anti-aging treatments, such as Juvederm® to replenish lost volume and soften wrinkles in the lower face, or a laser skin treatment to rejuvenate dull skin in order to optimize your youthful appearance and help you look your very best.
