New Age mumbo-jumbo kind of ruined the word “crystals” for every other use. But at Saltz Plastic Surgery we love crystals for what they can do for your facial skin. We use aluminum oxide or sodium chloride crystals for a superficial exfoliation in a procedure known as microdermabrasion. It’s a great way to remove old, […]
With all the streaming music options out there these days, you wonder if a regular broadcast radio has a future. If it doesn’t, at least the radio waves do. They can be used to tighten your skin. Wholly Casey Kasem! It’s true. At Saltz, we offer Thermage, which uses radiofrequency energy delivered beneath the epidermis […]
When it comes to crystals, Shirley MacLaine and Yanni ruined it. If you utter the word crystal now, people instantly assume someone’s going to start talking about reincarnation and throw on a Yanni CD. Crystals have a better use for Dr. Saltz.
