Cosmetic Dermatology
Cosmetic Treatments Available Near Middle Village
You do not need to travel into Manhattan for professional cosmetic dermatology. Our Forest Hills office offers advanced aesthetic and cosmetic treatments performed by board-certified providers. Middle Village residents can access these services just minutes from home:
- Thread Lift for Non-Surgical Facial Lifting: Restore a firmer, more youthful facial contour without surgery. Thread lifts [link to /threadlift/] use dissolvable sutures placed beneath the skin to lift sagging tissue in the cheeks, jawline, and neck. The procedure also stimulates your body’s own collagen production for continued improvement over time. Dr. Paltiel and our team assess your facial structure to determine the ideal placement for natural-looking results.
- Skin Lasers for Tone and Texture: Our practice offers laser treatments [link to /skin-lasers/] to address sun damage, uneven pigmentation, fine lines, vascular lesions, and overall skin texture. Laser therapy delivers concentrated light energy to targeted areas, promoting skin renewal with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue. We select the appropriate laser type and intensity based on your skin type and specific concerns.
- Eczema and Psoriasis Management Beyond the Basics: While eczema and psoriasis [link to /eczema/] are medical conditions, their visible effects often have a cosmetic and emotional impact. Our practice treats both the underlying condition and its outward appearance, combining medical therapies with treatments that help restore skin comfort, texture, and tone.
Kybella for Double Chin Reduction: Reduce submental fullness (double chin) without surgery or liposuction. Kybella [link to /kybella/] is an injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid to permanently destroy fat cells beneath the chin. Over a series of sessions, the treatment contours the jawline for a slimmer, more defined profile. Results are permanent once the targeted fat cells are eliminated.
