Whether you are wanting to reduce unwanted pigmentation, remove scarring, and/or improve your skin’s texture and complexion, we can put together the best skin care treatment plan for you.

Skin care treatments at Glasgold Group are provided under direct physician supervision by skincare specialist Jessica Posner, RN with over 15 years of experience. Jessica’s knowledge of skin, treatment and product goes beyond your average aesthetician’s. Improving the quality of your skin and maintaining it is her first priority.

Chemical peels are used to improve the skin’s appearance, texture and evens out complexion by removing dead dull skin and increases collagen and new cell growth. Results and quantity of treatments will vary from patient to patient. While chemical treatments are not a cure all for all skin conditions; there will be a marked improvement in the appearance of one’s skin.

Are you looking for an effective alternative to dermabrasion or chemical peels? Dermaplaning is the latest, non-invasive cosmetic procedure that exfoliates and smooths the skin by ridding it of dead cells on the surface layer. This treatment can also lead to healthier skin that appears firmer, glowing, and youthful. At the Glasgold Group, we perform Dermaplaning in Princeton, New Jersey, with great results!

Dermapen® Microneedling is a revolutionary tool that uses tiny needles to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin. When these channels are created, it allows for greater absorption of active ingredients and also increases the rate with which healthy cells grow. At the Glasgold Group, our specialists offer Dermapen Microneedling in Princeton, NJ, for patients looking for a solution to rebuild collagen.

What is Microneedling?

Intense Pulsed Light is a proven way to eliminate acne scars, sun damage, and wrinkles. This safe treatment uses light-emitting diodes in combination with pharmaceutical-grade topical creams for maximum results and minimum discomfort. Our specialists perform photofacial treatments, or IPL, in Princeton, NJ, for patients looking for a non-invasive solution. AN IPL treatment is as different as each patient, and the Glasgold Group is dedicated to finding the perfect treatment for you.

What is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)?

A photofacial is a non-invasive treatment that uses light to correct facial imperfections. These are not the same thing as laser treatments, which only treat surface-level issues. Photofacials consist of IPL treatment, which stands for Intense Pulsed Light.

This type of treatment delivers visible light into the skin in short bursts. This light penetrates the skin, leaving the surface of the skin undamaged, and is absorbed by the unwanted discolored spots. The pigmented skin coagulates and tightens, darkening before sloughing off to reveal bright, fresh skin.

The light used is delivered at a very specific range of wavelengths, depending on the nature of the problem area. The broad wavelength enables IPL devices to penetrate deeper into the skin, effectively removing the source of unwanted pigmentation, while leaving surrounding tissue unaffected.

While there are many at-home shaving kits and creams that claim to remove unwanted hair, laser hair removal treatments provide the closest results that mimic a professional waxing treatment. The experts at the Glasgold Group perform laser hair removal in Princeton, New Jersey, to give patients long-lasting, smooth, hair-free results.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is one of the most popular methods for removing body hair. It uses a laser beam that targets and removes individual hairs at the follicle where they grow. This technology was developed in Japan, but the United States is currently leading the way when it comes to providing in-office procedures for patients who want a more permanent method for getting rid of unwanted body hair.

Traditional microdermabrasion uses a vacuum to pull (or suck) crystals across the skin at a 90-degree angle. Salt-A-Peel™ is a Macrodermabrasion treatment that blows salt crystals across the skin at a 25-degree angle.  The difference may sound inconsequential, but it makes a huge difference from the standpoint of skin physics.

By using this particular delivery method, Salt-A-Peel™ Macrodermabrasion can remove much more unwanted skin in a single treatment than traditional microdermabrasion.  This means that one Macrodermabrasion treatment accomplishes as much as three microdermabrasion treatments.

Blowing crystals across the skin is far less irritating than vacuuming (sucking) crystals across the skin – another reason that this procedure can accomplish more with less irritation and redness.

This treatment combines the gentle exfoliating power of a salt peel, the benefits of a light chemical peel and finishes with a hydrating mask.

First treatment step is a Salt-A-Peel that removes dull, surface tissue allowing for maximum penetration. Second step is the application of a light chemical peel (lactic acid). Finishing up the treatment is a rehydrating mask to plump and protect the skin is applied.

Skin appearance and texture is improved, with no flaking, discomfort or down time. People with sensitive skin may experience a little redness and some flaking.

In the world of skin care products, there are seemingly limitless options. Between moisturizers and serums and peels, it can be overwhelming to know what actually works.

We have a series of products that we offer at our office and recommend to our patients to use at home. Ask us about what product might be best for you at your next appointment!

With age comes the loss of collagen and the descent of facial tissues and muscle. In addition, the loss of elasticity and facial contractions usage over time can create permanent lines and creases on your face. By filling in smile lines, restoring height to the cheekbones, calming frown and forehead lines, filling in under eye hollows, augmenting the chin, and enhancing lips, you can completely change the appearance of your aged face without surgery. In less than one hour, neuromodulators can relax those wrinkles and injectable fillers can restore the youthful contours by bringing back volume to your face.

Repetitive facial movements like laughing, frowning and squinting cause creases to form between the brows, on the forehead, and around the eyes. Botox and Dysport reduce these lines for smoother, younger-looking skin without surgery. The Botox brow lift also raises the brows without surgery to yield beautifully arched eyebrows. Dr. Robert Glasgold, MD, FACS, and Dr. Mark Glasgold, MD, FACS, at Glasgold Group Plastic Surgery in Princeton, NJ, offer Botox® and Dysport® injections for men and women who want to reduce and prevent facial lines and wrinkles.

Don’t let your frown lines between your eyebrows define you. For adults who want a natural look, Dysport is a natural-looking, fast-acting, long-lasting prescription injection proven to help smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows—without changing the look or movement of the rest of your face.

When you think of facial aging, what comes to mind? Many people think of wrinkles, fine lines and a change in the quality and texture of the skin. However, changes in fat distribution on the face also contribute to signs of aging. As you get older, the fat that keeps your cheeks and the under-eye area firm and youthful begins to shift and change. Fat loss makes the cheeks and eye area look sunken or hollow. To help restore volume to the face, the Glasgold Group offers Juvéderm Voluma, the first non-surgical, injectable treatment to be FDA-approved for this purpose.

Your face changes as you get older. The skin becomes looser and less elastic. You also lose fat just beneath the surface of the skin, which makes the facial bones and muscles more prominent. The loss of volume and changes in your skin can make lines and wrinkles more visually obvious. One way to reduce the appearance of those lines is with dermal fillers, like Juvéderm. The Glasgold Group offers Juvéderm injections in Princeton, New Jersey to patients who want to smooth creases and wrinkles on their faces for a more youthful look.

Dermal fillers such as Restylane are commonly used worldwide to help improve the appearance of fine lines and to plump up areas that have lost volume over time. At the Glasgold Group of Princeton, NJ, Restylane fillers are a popular alternative to surgery for patients struggling with facial wrinkles and folds. Our experts will sit down with you and go over what your goals are and how to achieve them.

Excess chin fat or submental fullness is often genetic and unresponsive to exercise and diet. Fortunately, surgery is not the only solution for a double chin. Men and women who desire a smooth, lean curve from their chin to their neck may benefit from nonsurgical Kybella® treatments. Drs. Robert Glasgold, MD, FACS, and Dr. Mark Glasgold, MD, FACS offer permanent fat reduction with Kybella at Glasgold Group Plastic Surgery in Princeton, NJ.

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery that reduces the signs of aging by contouring and tightening the jawline and neck. While there are other facial rejuvenation options, the traditional facelift is the most comprehensive method of reducing or even eliminating sagging skin, jowls, and deep wrinkles like marionette lines.

In addition to the standard procedure, which primarily treats the lower face and neck, we specialize in the deep plane facelift, a highly technical version of the procedure that also includes work on the midface between the eyes and mouth to reduce drooping and visible folds in the cheek region.

The Glasgold Group are among the most experienced facial plastic surgeons in the world and have delivered proven results for our facelift New Jersey patients, time and time again with the deep-plane technique. Our 20 years of experience with this procedure have convinced us that it is the most natural and longest lasting facelift procedure.

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to re-contour the shape of the nose to create an improved aesthetic result. The surgery can also be performed to improve nasal function. We aim to create a nose that looks natural and balances well with a patient’s facial features. “Natural” should not be interpreted as minimal change; rather, we define “natural” by how well the nose blends in with the rest of the patient’s face.

Office consultation begins with the patient telling us what changes they hope to achieve with surgery. After evaluation and reviewing pertinent history, the surgeon will discuss the changes that will provide the best aesthetic outcome. Open discussion is essential as both patient and surgeon should agree on what will create the most aesthetically pleasing result.

Imaging, using the Canfield Mirror software, allows us to demonstrate a projected result. Through photo morphing, we show patients an approximation of what they can expect as a realistic outcome. Imaging will not project an exact result, but it helps to make sure that the patient’s and the surgeon’s goals are aligned.

Some of the most common changes that patients request include:

• Reducing the size of a bump on the bridge of the nose
• Narrowing the bridge of the nose
• Narrowing the tip of the nose
• Reshaping the nasal tip

Revision rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to repair or improve cosmetic or functional problems of the nose resulting from a previous rhinoplasty procedure. Patients are frequently referred to Glasgold Group because of prior disappointing outcomes. Revision rhinoplasty can be a more complicated procedure because the previous surgery may have included excessive removal of supporting bone and cartilage, loss of tip support, and or/twisted nasal structure, along with scar tissue. Each of these issues presents a greater surgical challenge than a primary rhinoplasty.

Our technique at Glasgold Group involves precisely replacing missing structure and repositioning cartilage to produce a nose that is aesthetically pleasing in both size and shape. Surgical skill and extensive experience also allow us to reduce an overly long nose and/or correct an excessively drooping tip. Your new nose should appear natural, well-shaped, and in proportion to your face.

Ethnic rhinoplasty is a customizable procedure that is performed to improve the appearance of the nose in people with a range of ethnic backgrounds. Since traditional rhinoplasty procedures typically do not work well for non-Caucasian patients, ethnic rhinoplasty is the best alternative. 

An ethnic rhinoplasty procedure allows patients to have their surgery tailored for a natural look. At Glasgold Group in Princeton, New Jersey, we assist patients of all ethnicities in creating the nose of their dreams. 

If you’ve been frustrated with the signs of aging around your eyes, including sagging eyelids, puffiness, and excess skin, you may be eligible for blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery. Blepharoplasty is a complex and custom procedure that requires a high level of skill and knowledge to perform properly. At the Glasgold Group, our surgeons have decades of experience performing blepharoplasties in Princeton, New Jersey, while patients and peers alike respect them for the beautiful, natural-looking results they produce consistently.

Facial rejuvenation doesn’t always have to involve surgery to achieve an individual’s goals. The loss of volume in the face can produce a sunken, drawn appearance, contributing significantly to the appearance of aging, and “mini-facelifts” do not address this issue the way facial fat grafting can. Fat grafting is essentially taking fat from different parts of your body like your abs, hips, or buttocks and injecting them into the sections on your face that give off a hollowed-out appearance or other problem areas. We perform facial fat grafting treatments in Princeton, New Jersey, for patients looking to address facial volume loss.

A weak chin can make you look older and thinner than you feel. Facial implants are used to correct volume loss in the chin area to create a more youthful appearance, restoring your self-confidence and enabling you to enjoy life again. Our surgeons at the Glasgold Group specialize in chin facial implants in Princeton, New Jersey, for patients looking for a solution to facial asymmetry.

A brow lift (commonly referred to as an eyebrow lift or forehead lift) is a plastic surgery procedure that essentially pulls your eyebrows back into a more youthful position. A sagging or low brow tends to create upper eyelids that appear heavy and look overhung, but a forehead lift addresses such areas of concern. The Glasgold Group specializes in brow lift surgery in Princeton, New Jersey, with an extensive list of satisfied patients! Find out more information below!

Upturned ears, also called “lop ear,” “bat ear” or “elfin ear,” is a common problem that affects both children and adults. 15% of the general U.S. population has protruding ears. Otoplasty (ear pinning) is commonly performed on patients with prominent ears who are bothered by their appearance and/or feel that their large ears make them unattractive or uncomfortable to be seen in public. We successfully perform otoplasty in Princeton, New Jersey, for patients looking for a solution to their cosmetic issues.

What is Otoplasty?

Otoplasty is a procedure for correcting prominent ears. The procedure makes the ear(s) more proportionate to the head. Otoplasty of one ear or both ears may be performed as an outpatient, same-day surgery under local anesthesia or IV sedation in our office in Princeton, NJ.

Otoplasty can be considered a form of cosmetic surgery / plastic surgery, but it is much more than that. It is also a reconstructive procedure (to improve the appearance or function of a body part). People who have prominent ears experience significant psychological stress and are often afraid to show their ears. By correcting protruding ears with otoplasty, they can regain their self-esteem, improve their appearance, and/or simply improve their comfort with the way they look.

A direct neck lift procedure removes the excess skin and fat from the neck, chin and jawline, restoring and revealing the angular shape of the jawline, as well as firming and tightening the overall area. The result is a much more youthful and athletic appearance. 

Most candidates for this type of surgery are males who complain about the laxity in their necks. Sagging neck skin is mainly due to age, with most men noticing a loss of elasticity beginning in their late thirties to early forties. However, it can also be caused by factors such as a genetic predisposition, excess weight or a poor lifestyle habit. The loose skin, “turkey neck” look is caused by the platysma muscle. The platysma is actually two thin sheets of muscle that run across each side of the neck. These normally do not quite meet in the middle, and as the aging process progresses, the muscle edges in the center of the neck begin to sag downward, creating two visible bands that run downward from the chin toward the collarbone, contributing to the turkey neck or turkey wattle effect.
