Question: Is it possible to correct white scarring from Sclerotherapy?
Answer: For those who aren’t familiar with Sclerotherapy treatment, allow me to give you a quick explanation. Sclerotherapy is looked upon as the preferred procedure when it comes to eliminating spider veins. This procedure is typically successful for medium to large veins. Treatment involves injecting the veins with a solution which will cause them to shrink and dissolve within a matter of weeks. After treatment, patients can expect to be mobile and are free to resume their daily activities. Patients are also instructed to wear supportive hosiery and are encouraged to […]

It’s safe to say that trends are shifting and injectable treatments are now “accepted” options for everyday women! The Aesthetic Surgery Education & Research Foundation (ASERF) released results from a recent survey illustrating just that fact.
“In a similar survey issued four years ago, we dispelled the myth that Hollywood and corporate wives were the typical BOTOX® Cosmetic patient,” says ASERF President Laurie Casas, MD, a plastic surgeon practicing in suburban Chicago. “Now, demographic and perception data trends show us that aesthetic injectable treatments have continued to evolve into mainstream and accepted options for the everyday woman.”
Here are some of the […]
Below is a list to which you may want to refer when interviewing or considering a Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
Be on guard if your prospective surgeon says he/she ‘does everything’.
Ask your surgeon what he/she does most often and don’t be afraid to ask for more details!
Do some research before you meet a prospective plastic surgeon. Check to see if he/she is board certified. It is easy to determine whether a doctor is board certified in Plastic Surgery, simply go to www.abplsurg.org or www.surgery.org
Ask to see photos or talk to a former […]
Question: How long does cosmetic surgery last?
Answer: This question comes up frequently in consultations and it should! It is important!
What I tell patients is this:
For many surgeries, the results can last for years, as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle (healthy diet, routine exercise and adequate amounts of sleep).
No matter how good a cosmetic surgeon is, bodies and faces will continue to age. And they will also be exposed to the elements (sun, wind, etc.), not to mention biohazards and carcinogens such as smoke and pollution.
Think of yourself as the owner of an exquisite, intricate very expensive machine. (You […]

Question: Why does Dr. Casas recommend injecting Sculptra ® Aesthetic in conjunction with topical Retin-A daily to restore a more youthful appearing face?
Does using topical Retin-A enhance the result of Sculptra® Aesthetic?
Reply: The combination of a Sculptra® Aesthetic treatment with consistent use of topical Retin-A continues to fascinate me. I completed a 106 patient study on the synergy of these two very effective treatments and found that their use in combination can be powerfully effective. Sculptra® Aesthetic is injected just below the skin and then proceeds to stimulate the growth of one’s own collagen through an inflammatory process. The Retin-A […]
