One of our most requested procedures - and once you see why, it’s easy to understand.

A limited incision brachiaplasty combined with laser liposuction, addresses excess skin and stubborn fat in the upper arm with precision, through a significantly smaller incision than a traditional arm lift. The result is meaningful tightening and rejuvenation with minimal downtime and results that begin to reveal themselves within days.

No lengthy recovery. No compromise on outcome.

Something new has arrived at our White Plains office - and it comes with a bit of a backstory!

Dr. Rothaus was among the first to publish clinical research on Physiq, the latest advancement in non-invasive body contouring. What he momentarily forgot to mention - until Courtney kindly reminded him 😆 - is that she was right there with him from the beginning, contributing to the research as a student before joining our team full time. A good reminder that great work is rarely done alone 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️

Physiq uses a combination technology to simultaneously deliver deep tissue heating and electrical muscle stimulation. The result is targeted fat reduction and muscle toning without surgery or downtime. It’s precise, comfortable, and designed for patients who want meaningful body contouring with none of the recovery.

Now available at our White Plains location, Physiq is an ideal complement to surgical results or a powerful starting point on its own.

If you’ve been considering body contouring and want guidance from a team that has quite literally written the research, we’d love to have that conversation. Please contact our office to schedule a consultation.

There has been a lot of talk lately about whether SMAS facelifts truly stand the test of time. We’d like to let our results answer that.

Three years after surgery, this patient has not had a single touch up or revision. What you’re seeing is the lasting result- settled, natural, and holding exactly as intended.

A SMAS facelift, performed with precision and a deep understanding of facial anatomy, does not simply lift. It repositions the structural foundation of the face in a way that ages gracefully alongside the patient.

When chosen for the right candidate and executed with the appropriate level of anatomical expertise, a SMAS facelift remains one of the most reliable, time-tested approaches to facial rejuvenation available.

These results are not the exception. For our patients, they are the expectation.

For more information on SMAS vs. deep place facelifts please read our most recent substack article (link in bio).

We pride ourselves on being able to offer a wide variety of procedures to meet all the needs of our patients. This requires updating and researching different technology as new devices become available.

Every practice knows the risk of the “Million Dollar Closet” - devices purchased on hype that ultimately sit unused. This is how you can avoid that, and what we look for when bringing in something new.

Have you ever wanted to see what you would look like after plastic surgery, but before you commit to having the operation? 🤔

We get this question a lot from patients, particularly for facial procedures such as rhinoplasty and facelifts. Now we have a solution!

We can use 3D facial imaging which has completely changed the way patients view themselves before & after procedures.

Being able to visualize potential outcomes before moving forward allows for a more thoughtful, precise approach for both surgical and non-surgical procedures. Whether we’re discussing rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, breast augmentation, or even Botox and filler, it gives us a clearer roadmap and sets expectations from the start.

It’s one of the most exciting shifts in our field! More collaboration and more confidence in the plan. We can even offer this now for body treatments such as liposuction. It really takes the guess work out of what to expect.

If you’ve ever wanted to better understand what a treatment could look like for you, this is where the conversation starts. We’re incorporating 3D imaging into all of our consults so please contact our office to schedule and try it for yourself!

Have you heard of salmon DNA facials? Why are so many people having this done? 🤔

This is a regenerative treatment that aims to improve skin quality & boost collagen..but it’s not without risk and we have a better option!

At our practice, we’ve been leaning into secretome-based regenerative treatments- and for good reason. Instead of using externally sourced ingredients like PDRN or salmon DNA, this approach uses your own biology to stimulate real cellular repair and rejuvenation.

Here’s why we prefer it:

The secretome is created by harvesting a small number of your own hair follicles, isolating stem cells, and extracting a powerful concentration of all the popular regenerative ingredients you’ve probably heard of: peptides, exosomes, PDGF and growth factors. All in one product completely derived from your own DNA.

What does this mean for you?

✔️ A biologically compatible product
✔️ Excellent safety profile (no risk of infection)
✔️ Highly potent in regenerative molecules
✔️ Versatile use - hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, post-laser recovery, and facials

If you’re looking for results that are subtle, effective and truly regenerative, this is where aesthetics is heading.

Send us a message to schedule a consultation appointment to discuss secretome based therapies.

When we address jawline contouring, we don’t just look at one area - we consider all the layers involved.

Skin, muscle and fat all play a role in how the neck and mandible are defined. For some patients, that means adding structure with filler. For others, relaxing the platysma muscle with Botox. And in cases where fullness under the chin is the main concern, submental liposuction can create the most noticeable, long-lasting change with minimal downtime.

Neck Lipo is performed under local anesthesia and removes unwanted fat, and tightens the skin. It is an amazing minimally invasive procedure that can truly transform the neck area resulting in a more sculpted and youthful appearance.

If you are considering jawline contouring please contact our office! We are happy to come up with a custom treatment plan that fits your needs.

“Liquid facelift” has become a bit of a buzzword - especially this time of year. We’ve had more than a few patients come in after watching the Academy Awards with a very clear idea of what they don’t want.

In our consults, the conversation is more straightforward: what will actually support your anatomy and age well. Thoughtful filler can restore volume and soften early changes. But when laxity becomes more significant, surgery often gives a cleaner, more natural result than continuing to add product.

Because we offer both, the plan stays centered on you - not the procedure.

Please contact a member of our team if you would like to schedule a consultation appointment. We take pride in building custom treatment plans for each patient!

Most people hear “CO2 Laser” and immediately think weeks of downtime.

This is not the case with CoolPeel! This treatment is a controlled, fractional CO2 laser designed to target the top layer of the skin. It improves texture, fine lines, sun damage and stimulate collagen without the prolonged recover of traditional resurfacing.

Our process looks like:
- Topical numbing cream
- Customized settings
- Precise, controlled passes
- Intentional post-care serums (because recovery is just as important!)

Immediately after: pink, warm, tight
3 weeks later: brighter, smoother, glowing skin

Lasers are powerful tools but outcomes come down to technique, patient selection and aftercare.

Please send us a message for consultation inquiries. We are happy to assist with custom skincare regimens!

Three months can fly by when it comes to neurotoxin treatment 💉

For patients who feel like they’re just settling into their Botox results when it’s already time to come back, Daxxify offers a longer lasting alternative. Many patients see results closer to 4–6 months, with a slower return to baseline lines and wrinkles.

It’s also a great option for those treating TMJ or clenching, since longer duration can mean more sustained symptom relief from teeth grinding such as headaches.

Contact our office to inquire about Daxxify treatments!
