How Can Plastic Surgery Help You?
Numerous cosmetic procedures and treatments are available to help women and men achieve their desired appearance. However, some patients desire aesthetic correction without an invasive surgical procedure.
By undergoing one or more non-surgical procedures, you may be able to achieve your cosmetic goals without surgery.
Schedule a ConsultationChemical Peel
A chemical peel uses a chemical solution to exfoliate the facial skin. Following the procedure, the damaged outer layers of skin will flake away to reveal new, healthy, and vibrant skin.
This procedure removes dead skin cells and other environmental debris to rejuvenate your facial skin. Not only can you look forward to a healthier appearance, but a chemical peel can effectively treat wrinkles, fine lines, acne, scarring, and uneven pigmentation.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal helps you achieve smoother and hairless skin without the hassle of shaving, plucking, or waxing. With laser hair removal, the Lumenis® LightSheer® laser is directed at the unwanted hair, which destroys the hair follicle without harming the surrounding area. Because the follicle is destroyed, less or no hair can grow.
Laser Tattoo Removal
Laser tattoo removal destroys the ink molecules in the skin with a laser beam. The number of treatments needed depends on several factors, including the size and detail of the tattoo and the ink color (blue and black ink tend to respond better to laser treatments than yellow, green, and red).
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy (vein treatment) corrects the unsightly presence of spider veins and varicose veins on the legs. With sclerotherapy, micro-injections of a sclerosant solution are made directly into the unwanted veins. This process causes the veins to harden and eventually fade.
After your sclerotherapy procedure, you can look forward to showing off your legs without unsightly veins.
Injectable Treatments
JUVÉDERM® is a dermal filler that uses hyaluronic acid (HA) to temporarily correct age-related skin concerns, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss in the face. The facial filler is injected just below the skin, and the HA attracts and retains moisture to help fill in the skin.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a neurotoxin that addresses dynamic wrinkles (the lines on the forehead and around the eyes caused by repetitive muscle contractions). BOTOX® Cosmetic temporarily blocks signals from the injected muscle to the brain. This keeps the muscle from contracting, which keeps lines from appearing.
KYBELLA® is an injectable that treats the presence of submental fullness (double chin and jowls). This fat-reducing injectable helps to give you the sculpted and defined chin, jawline, and neck you desire.

What Can Non-Surgical Procedures Achieve?
Recovery
Your recovery time will vary depending on the non-surgical procedure you have performed. However, one of the many benefits of non-surgical procedures is minimal recovery and downtime, especially compared to more invasive procedures. At your consultation, Dr. O’Toole will discuss what to expect with your recovery.
Cost
As with any cosmetic procedure, the cost of your non-surgical procedure will vary, depending on the type of procedure performed, the extent of correction needed, the number of treatments required, and whether you are combining other procedures with your treatment.
Pain
The discomfort you feel will depend on the type of non-surgical procedure you have performed. While chemical peels can cause some pain during the procedure, other treatments (such as sclerotherapy) are virtually painless.
Scarring
Due to the nature of non-surgical procedures, the risk of resulting scars is minimal.
Results
After your non-surgical procedure, you can expect to look and feel more confident with your appearance. Whether it be getting rid of unwanted hair or unsightly veins or smoothing the skin on your face, the non-surgical procedures that Dr. O’Toole offers can help you look and feel the way you’ve always desired.
