Taking care of your skin now, as a young adult, is one of the most valuable investments to promote healthier skin in the future.  Knowing what works best for various skin conditions like acne, rosacea, and pigmentation irregularities is a decision that should be made between you and our skin care professional.  Isabelle DiCostanzo is our Licensed Esthetician who is trained in advanced, medically directed skin care.  She will design a treatment plan to suit your needs and you will notice the results.  Consistency with treatments and products is the key to success with most skin conditions.  An approximate age to begin is 12 or 13 years old. By this age, young adults know the importance of hygiene and have been taught to use an SPF. While the majority of teens have over-active, oily skin, a number are categorized as having optimal, normal, breakout free skin. Teen-aged skin is divided into these two categories but no matter which type, many are still unsure of how to care for their skin.

We are excited to introduce our own signature skincare line; key ingredients include green tea and natural botanicals to give you the radiant skin you want.  We also offer a wide variety of sunscreen and acne control products to protect your skin from the elements.  This is one of the best ways to eliminate unwanted problems down the road.  Let Isabelle customize a skincare regimen just for you.  She can also supplement your current regimen with specific treatment products.

We also offer an array of peels, microdermabrasion (including crystal-free and hydrabrasion), and laser treatments that will put you on the path to vibrant, healthy and clear skin.  We also have the newest, cutting-edge anti-aging technology to prevent certain problems as well as treatments to diminish discoloration and scarring.  Fraxel is a safe, revolutionary laser that is suitable for all skin types.  This exciting treatment is the most effective method to treat acne scarring on the face, back and arms.  It can also diminish the appearance of stretch marks resulting from fluctuations in weight or rapid growth spurts.  Portrait PSR (plasma skin regeneration) is also an innovative, FDA approved treatment proven to deliver true skin regeneration.  Both Fraxel and Portrait PSR are performed in the office and are associated with minimal down-time.

For more information on our exciting treatments and programs for young adults, please call for your complimentary skincare consultation with Isabelle; you will be thrilled with the results!

There is no question that reconstructive surgeries can benefit children and youth. Surgical procedures to correct cleft lips and palates, for example, are not controversial. Plastic surgery to correct unattractive facial features that can attract ridicule from other children, such as prominent noses and ears, and weak chins, are generally accepted in the United States. Likewise, in both boys and girls, there are certain developmental chest and breast problems such as over-enlargement of the breasts or severe developmental asymmetries and abnormalities that  can have certain social impact.   Dr. Pielet performs various surgical and non-surgical procedures in adolescents and young adults to treat some of these problems.  To learn more about Dr. Pielet’s adolescent and young adult services, parents should inquire at 312-440-3100.
