Latest Advances

Xeomin - is the newest botulinum toxin on the market that is in the same class of injectables as substances like Dysport and Botox. It smoothes out wrinkles by paralyzing the muscles that contract and cause lines to form. Unlike Botox and Dysport, however, Xeomin is an uncomplexed toxin, or "pure." Botox and Dysport both consist of the botulinum toxin along with a carrier, or "chaperone" protein. This extra molecule increases the likelihood of the body developing antibodies to the product, an issue that is avoided when using Xeomin. It is also administered in the same dosages as Botox, so doctors do not need to be retrained to mix appropriate portions of Xeomin as they do with Dysport. Dr. Rokhsar has been among a select group of physicians in the United States chosen by Merz, the maker of xeomin, for early clinical use of Xeomin for patients, being a highly experienced and high volume botulinum toxin injector.

Asclera - is a brand new way to address unsightly varicose veins, also known as spider veins. A doctor injects Asclera into the largest veins, causing them to collapse. Pressure is applied to the injection site and the Asclera is massaged into the tributary blood vessels that receive their blood supply from the larger veins, causing them to collapse as well. This in turn cuts off the blood flow to the smaller capillaries that branch off the parent veins and thus diminishes them. After the treatment, patients are advised to wear compression socks for a few days to maintain the pressure on the injection area so the procedure fully takes hold. There is only the slight pain of the injections and the results are permanent.

Liposonix - is a non-surgical, non-invasive way to tackle those stubborn last few pounds standing between you and the contoured body you want. Using High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound energy, Liposonix creates lesions in the fat layer 1.3 centimeters below the skin's surface. The body then destroys the damaged fat cells and naturally cleanses them from the body over the next 8-12 weeks. Since it is non-invasive, there is virtually no down-time and patients can get back to their regular lives almost immediately. One treatment of one area takes about one hour, and can result in a reduction of one dress size. Good candidates for Liposonix are within 15-20 pounds of their ideal weight and have 2.3 centimeters of pinchable fat. Dr. Rokhsar is the first physician in the United States to have offered liposonix to patients.

Zeltiq - is a non-surgical, non-invasive way to reduce fat and achieve the sculpted look you desire. Different substances have different freezing points, so Zeltiq can target fat cells by cooling them to their unique freezing point and damaging them. Other tissues are not affected because they have different freezing points so Zeltiq selectively affects only the fat cells in the treatment area. The device uses suction to draw up the area to be treated and then cools it to the appropriate temperature. Patients can watch TV, read or simply relax during the procedure, which takes about one hour per area. Over the following 2-3 months, the body will gradually break down and remove the damaged fat cells and patients can lose about 20% fat.

Ulthera - is a non-surgical, non-invasive new way to tighten and firm sagging skin on the face, neck, and eyebrows. Ultherapy uses the energy of ultrasound waves to penetrate into the support structure below the skin's surface. At the same time, ultrasound imaging technology allows the doctor to visually verify the areas being treated and customize the treatment to the patient's individual needs. In the next 2-3 months following the treatment, the collagen matrix that was stimulated by the ultrasound energy is built-up again. Patients will experience an uplifting of their drooping skin and achieve a more naturally youthful appearance.

Miradry - is a revolutionary new approach to the treatment of hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. In the past the only medical options available to sufferers of hyperhidrosis were prescription anti-perspirants and botox injections into sweat glands of the axilla (underarms). Anti-perspirants can only treat the symptoms of hyperhidrosis, and injections last only a few months. Miradry uses thermal energy to destroy the over-active sweat glands, and these cells are not recreated by the body, so the treatment is permanent. Using controlled microwave energy, Miradry non-invasively penetrates the skin surface to the depth where sweat glands are found and damages them so they no longer function. At the skin's surface, a hydro-ceramic cooling system manages any discomfort from the heat and traps the thermal energy in the sweat gland region being targeted. Dr. Rokhsar is the first physician in New York and New Jersey to offer the Miradry treatment and thus is the most experienced physician on the use of Miradry in the tristate area.

VelaShape

If you are seeking a non-invasive approach to reduce cellulite and fat, the VelaShape may be your best option. It is the first FDA approved medical device for cellulite and for circumferential reduction. It accomplished these approvals when other devices failed to receive them. VelaShape™ is the first and only safe, effective and virtually painless FDA-cleared non-surgical medical solution for the circumferential reduction and cellulite treatment market.

Fraxel re:pair

The Fraxel re:pair laser system will offer a fractional ablative treatment utilizing a CO2 laser to produce similar effectiveness to traditional bulk ablative treatments, with less expected downtime and risks. The Fraxel re:pair laser system is distinguished by its ability to ablate tissue deep within the dermis. The treatment is made-up of deep microscopic ablated zones surrounded by undamaged tissue, rather than a thin, general ablation of the entire surface like traditional CO2 lasers.

Fraxel II

Fraxel II is an updated version of Fraxel I which has the potential for increased effectiveness as it can penetrate up to 30% deeper while providing a more comfortable laser resurfacing experience. Dr. Rokhsar is regarded as an international authority on the use of the Fraxel laser for treatment of wrinkles, scars, sun damage and pigmentation.

Dr. Rokhsar has been a leading researcher and pioneer in the science of resurfacing with the Fraxel laser for treatment of wrinkles, acne and surgical scars and melasma. He has introduced laser resurfacing with the Fraxel (II) laser to various parts of the world including Asia, Australia and Europe. Dr. Rokhsar has used the Fraxel laser longer than any other doctor in the world as he was an investigator of the prototype device. In fact, he has trained more physicians in the United States and around the world on laser resurfacing with the Fraxel Laser than any other physician in the world.

Non-Surgical 15 minute Nose Job

The Non-Surgical 15 minute Nose Job, pioneered by Dr. Cameron Rokhsar, is a simple no down time technique to change the shape of your nose with a few simple injections of a filler substance named Radiesse. The procedure is done under numbing cream, takes 15 minutes, with virtually little or no pain, bruising or swelling. You can return to your work or social life immediately with instantaneous results. Radiesse is an FDA approved filler substance.

We have seen a shift in demand by patients from invasive procedures to minimally invasive procedures in the past decade. For example CO2 laser resurfacing which is the gold standard for laser rejuvenation has largely been replaced by gentle resurfacing with devices like Fraxel. Since we can use Botox to elevate the eyebrow, brow lifts are less popular as they once used to be. The non-surgical nose 15 minute nose job is an alternative to surgical rhinoplasty for many individuals who wish to alter the shape of their nose or restore symmetry to their nose.

Dr. Rokhsar places a filler substance, named Radiesse, through controlled and precise injections to hide away dents, bumps, sideways deviations, raise the nasal tip, or contour irregularities to restore a more symmetric look to your nose. The end result is that your nose will look more proportional and smaller in your facial frame. Your results are instantaneous.

Non-Surgical Eye Lift

Non-Surgical eyelift involves the placement of small amounts of a filler substance in the lower eyelids skin to rejuvenate the lower eyelids.

As one ages, the lower eyelids can become hollow. Some people develop bags in the lower eyelids which in fact are protruding fat. Hollowness or bags around the eyes can be corrected or camouflaged through the placement of small amounts of a filler substance named Restylane in the lower eyelids. This is a no down time procedure done with numbing cream only and it takes less than 15 minutes. The results can last 6 months to one year.

Portrait plasma Skin resurfacing

Portrait technology uses unique plasma energy for resurfacing and improvement of moderate to deep lines, acnes scars, skin tightening and overall rejuvenation of the skin.

Dr. Rokhsar first used Portrait plasma skin resurfacing in 2003 and along with Dr. Richard Fitzpatrick was the first physician to use the device.  Dr. Rokhsar along with Dr. Fitzpatrick conducted the very early research for wrinkle reduction on the portrait prototype device before the wide introduction and FDA approval of the device.  His work on this subject has been presented at multiple scientific meetings in 2004.

GFX Procedure - NO-TOX

Dr. Cameron Rokhsar, a leading cosmetic dermatologist in New York City, is the first physician in the Northeast to adopt the GFX Procedure in his practice. He has recognized the incredible improvement GFX has made over Botox. “Where Botox has made the anti-aging market turn on its heels, GFX can make it obsolete,” said Dr. Rokhsar. The GFX Procedure expands on the initial principal of Botox by weakening the motor nerves that cause “frown lines” but instead of blocking the signals sent from nerves to the muscles, GFX uses radiofrequency energy to effectively weaken motor nerves. This in turn damages the nerves, which causes a relaxation of the muscle and creates a smoothing effect on frown lines.
