CLAIM YOUR PROFILEThe cost of Fraxel depends upon how aggressive the treatment is performed. A non-aggressive Fraxel treatment may run $700. An aggressive Fraxel treatment may run as much as $3,000. The most important point to consider when having laser treatment done would be the reputation and experience of the dermatologist performing the treatment.

Technology has advanced significantly in the past several years. There are now lasers which use Fraxel technology and penetrate deeper. These newer, more aggressive, lasers do surprisingly well in experienced hands. The key is to go to someone who uses lasers on a regular basis !

CoolSculpting helps get rid offat in any area in which it is used. In many patients, it is difficult to perform CoolSculpting on the outer thighs because the skin and fat are unable to be drawn up into the CoolSculpting apparatus. Therefore, patients who want their thighs treated should be evaluated by a dermatologist experienced in CoolSculpting and not be disappointed if the physician does not recommend treatment.

Younger people who have CoolSculpting will find that their lax skin often comes back to its natural appearance. Older people do not have as much luck with lax skin normalizing. Because of this, in many of our patients, we will do laser skin tightening in addition to CoolSculpting so that when the fat is gone the skin is not as lax.

I have found that CoolSculpting results in a significant improvement in the vast majority of patients. On the other hand, I have not been impressed with Zerona at all. As someone who is doing a tremendous amount of CoolScuplting, I have seen quite a few patients who have been unsuccessful with Zerona and have done well with CoolSculpting.

The cost of CoolSculpting is very variable and depends on the size of the area being treated. For a very small area the cost may be as little as $625. When multiple applicators are used on multiple areas of an abdomen the cost could run as high as $5,000. Some dermatologist combine laser skin tightening with CoolSculpting. This often adds 10-20% to the cost.

Tazorac and Retin-A are both tiopical Vitamin AZ derivatives that are used to help minimize fine lines and wrinkles. Both of these are helpful, but not miracle workers. The Vitamin A derivatives often help with irregular pigmentation as well.

Botox usually lasts about three months. When used in the upper third of the face to help minimize facial motion.
When Botox is injected in the underarm area for sweating it can even last a year.

The cost of Botox typically depends on the amount of Botox that is being injected. The cost for 30 units is often around $380. This would be a low dose for the forehead, crow's feet and glabella area. Fifty units of Botox can often treat the upper third of the face and usually cost around $550. - Jonathan Crane, D.O., F.A.O.C.D. Board Certified Dermatologist

Great job removing age spots. I had multiple spots over my face, neck, and chest. They were dark and made me look old. I did nor realize how easy it would be to remove these spots. It only took one laser treatment and I am 90% better. My family has all noticed and my friends have also commented. Thank you Dr Crane and staff !
I've been seeing Dr Crane for Botox injections for 5 years. My last visit ( 2/14/14 ) I added fillers also. Now I have an upper lip for the first time in 44 years! I had fillers injected into my NL folds and around my mouth. I never expected my mouth to be so lovely after. Dr Crane has always done a beautiful job with my Botox. I end up with a nice, natural lift and relaxed look. The Botox and Perlane combination on my last visit has given my face an all over softer and younger look I didn't realize was possible without surgery. Dr Crane is always professional and personable and very helpful with recommendations. He is never rushed and explains everything first so I feel secure with any procedure. His staff is friendly and helpful. I have always had a positive experience with each of my visits. (cost listed is for both procedures) Updated on 16 Mar 2014: I had Perlane injected in my nasolabial folds, but Restylane was used around my lips to correct vertical lines. Updated on 31 May 2014: Went back to Wilmington yesterday for a Botox touch up and to show Dr Crane the results of my necklift. He gave me a thumbs up! Still pleased with my mouth. I've included a picture from yesterday. I'm smirking, so my mouth looks crooked. It IS crooked, and the injections don't fix that, and if you're bothered by that, it may make it more noticeable. I kinda like it because I do tend to looking like I'm smirking all the time ;) Updated on 31 May 2014: These are of my mouth right after. Updated on 31 May 2014:
