Clear + Brilliant at Dr. Stafford Broumand
Clear + Brilliant uses a gentle fractional laser to target millions of microscopic areas of the skin, promoting cellular turnover to replace damaged cells. The treatment only takes twenty to forty minutes and has so little downtime that patients often return to work afterward. Dr. Stafford Broumand, also an Associate Clinical Professor of Plastic Surgery at Mount Sinai Hospital, says, “Patients love the way it transforms their skin. It gives smaller pore size, glowing skin, even skin tone and promotes collagen formation.”

UltraShape at Dr. Dennis Gross
With the UltraShape Body Shaping System Dr. Dennis Gross is harnessing the power of sound waves to destroy fat cells. His is the first and only FDA-cleared non-surgical procedure that uses ultrasound pulses for fat destruction. His handheld Ultrashape wand targets stubborn problem areas, shooting ultrasound waves at discrete clusters of fat cells. The ultrasound waves actually shake cellular membranes until they dissolve, allowing them to be reabsorbed and digested through the liver like any other fat. A series of the noninvasive treatments can permanently remove up to three inches of unwanted “bulge.” Dr. Gross says, “It’s the closest thing to liposuction to date, but completely nonsurgical.”
