3 Ways We Can Treat You to the Ultimate Staycation At Our Office
If you were unable to escape and head out of town for spring break, you may feel like you could use a little bit of rest and relaxation. Before you think about booking a vacation to somewhere that you may not be able to afford, let us help you get that R&R that you deserve in a way more affordable way. But how?
Facials
If you really want to relax here at our spa, then book one of our facials. Depending on the results that you are going for, our skin care experts will work to determine the best type of facial for you. The great thing about facials is that they combine exfoliating, extracting, hydrating, purifying, and rejuvenating features all in one treatment. Plus, when they are done in conjunction with an IPL or a chemical peel, you can get even better results.
IPL Photofacial
One of our most popular spa treatments here at our office is our IPL photofacial. This facial uses tiny beams of intense pulse light to target skin concerns like texture, sunspots, or even fine lines and wrinkles. Even though the IPL treatment itself isn’t exactly relaxing, when it’s done in conjunction with other facials and treatments it can be.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are a great way to encourage the growth of newer, healthier skin. By targeting the top layer of the skin with a chemical exfoliation method, chemical peels work to give patients smoother, healthier, skin after just a few treatments. Plus, some of our patients find chemical peels to be a little bit relaxing because they like the tingling sensation that they give.
If you want to have the ultimate staycation experience, then book one of these treatments with us at our office. To learn more, contact our Huntington office and call us at (631) 423-1000.

How to Get Your Skin Christmas Card Ready
If screaming kids, matching outfits, and a bunch of fits are a part of your Christmas card then you are not alone. It’s safe to say that a messy Christmas card photo shoot is everyone’s normal. Even though we at Associated Plastic Surgeons may not be able to convince your kids that they need to behave, we can ensure that you are looking your best. From fighting acne to fine lines and wrinkles, we have a few fast solutions that will help you get the picture-perfect worthy complexion that you want.
Acne Scars
If you have acne scars that you are really concerned about then you may want to consider getting some chemical peels before your photo shoot. Depending on the type of chemical peel that we do, however, your skin may be red for several days afterward which means that you will have to plan accordingly. During your initial chemical peel consultation, we will go over what you can expect as far as healing time.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
A photo says a thousand words which means that your fine lines and wrinkles can’t behind that lens. To help you get a more youthful appearance, we can use both fillers and Botox to help you get a smoother looking appearance. During your consultation, your doctor will discuss what injections they think will help you give the best results. The great thing about fillers is that they work almost immediately. Botox takes about seven full days to show full results but many patients start to see visible results in just five days.
You want to send your Christmas or holiday card out feeling confident about your appearance. If you want to learn a little bit more about how you can get a better-looking complexion, schedule a consultation with us at our Huntington office and contact us at (631) 423-1000.

3 Unique Benefits of the Mesofacial
In this day and age, it can be hard to believe that one single non-invasive treatment can give you multiple benefits and great results. With our mesofacial at Associated Plastic Surgeons, we can give patients smoother, healthier, more youthful looking skin while also reducing the appearance of scars all across the face. But other than the amazing results that you can get from a mesofacial, what makes it so unique? Let’s take a closer look.
Mesofacial Is Fast
It can be hard to take time away from work— especially before the holidays. The great thing about the mesofacial is that it can be done in our office in just 30 minutes which means that you won’t’ have to take a lot of time away from your work or your family. Additionally, most patients can start wearing makeup again in just a couple of hours (6 hours at most) which means that you won’t have to worry about too much downtime.
It Uses Combined Technology
Another great benefit of the Mesofacial is that it uses combined technology to help target the top few layers of the skin. To start out, we will either use a chemical peel or microdermabrasion. The goal of both of these treatments is to target the top layer of the skin in order to encourage the production of new skin. After this step, we will use a non-cross linked hyaluronic acid that we will apply directly to the skin. Then, we will use a microneedling device to make tiny perforations into the skin; encouraging new cell growth and making the skin more easily absorb the hyaluronic acid.
It’s Effective
The biggest benefit of all is that the mesofacial is effective at giving patients real, lasting results without them having to undergo any type of surgery.

The Truth Behind the Pro by EndyMed
You can spend thousands of dollars on skin care products that claim to lift and tighten your skin , but you probably won’t see as drastic results as you were hoping for. Here at Associated Plastic Surgeons, we believe that taking good care of your skin involves protecting it, using good products, and getting skin care treatments done— especially when you start to notice signs of aging.
One of the anti-aging products that we offer patients at our office is the Pro by EndyMed.
What’s the Pro by EndyMed?
Rather than relying solely on topical creams and products, we encourage our patients to target the deeper layers of the skin when they are trying to get anti-aging results. With the Pro by EndyMed, we can rejuvenate, reshape, and tighten the skin. Because Pro by EndyMed uses high-tech radio-frequency, it is able to not only treat various parts of the body but it also works from the inside out to give patients real results.
What Can It Treat?
The Pro by EndyMed can treat a variety of different concerns including:
- Smoothing out the skin
- Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
- Lightening acne scars
- Treating hyperpigmentation
- Tightening loose skin
- Reducing cellulite
- Reshaping the body
- Reducing circumference
- Helping with hyperpigmentation
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
On average, and depending on what area of the body we are targeting, most patients need about six treatment sessions to get optimal results.
How Long Do Treatments Take?
One of the unique benefits of The Pro by EndyMed is that treatments are fast and easy. In fact, we have many of our patients schedule their treatments on their lunch break and then they can go right back to work directly afterward.

3 Treatments to Get You Ready for the Beach
Preparing for a beach vacation requires more than just packing the perfect bikini and beach towel. Here at Associated plastic surgeons, we have a few fast and easy skincare treatments that we can use to really help you get ready for your big trip.
Get a Glow
In the 90’s and early 2,000’s everyone would practically bake their bodies in a tanning bed to get their skin ready for the beach, but because research has proven that tanning beds cause more harm than good, you might not know how to get glowing skin. Rather than hitting the beach or pool with pasty white skin, let us help you get that perfect, dewy glow with our body bronzer treatment. You’ll come out of our office with a sun-kissed tan but without the sun damage.
Signature Facial
Sometimes with all of the stress of packing for vacation and preparing, it can seem like you need a vacation from your vacation. Let us help you relax before you head out of town with one of our signature facials. With a combination of exfoliation and hydration, we can help you feel revitalized and rejuvenated.
Antioxidant Sun Fader Facial
This sun fading facial can be done either before or after the beach. If we do it before your trip, make sure that you are covering your face up during the entire trip so that you don’t get any new sun damage. This unique facial is used to help patients get rid of sunspots and sun damage with Vitamins A, C, and E.
The best thing that you can do for your skin during your beach trip is cover up. Whether you choose to wear a broad-brimmed hat, a lot of sunscreens, or spend your time under a beach umbrella, one thing is for certain: your skin will thank you. With a new tan, a little relaxation, and an antioxidant facial, you can head to the beach feeling calmer than ever. To learn more about these skin care treatments, schedule a consultation at our Huntington office today and call us at (631) 423-1000.
