Skin Care Products

Drs. Velargo and Hendrick have experience with numerous skincare lines, but none have produced the results seen with the FaceMD™ line. Dr. Velargo previously worked closely with the developer of the FaceMD™ line, which is a medical-grade skincare program based on over 25 years of experience and research.

FaceMD™ is a well-tolerated regimen that is formulated with the purest blend of organic ingredients and effective on all skin types.

Drs. Velargo and Hendrick will customize a treatment plan for you and provide you with simple, easy to follow instructions.

THE FACEMD™ PRODUCT LINE IS A GREAT WAY TO TREAT

  • Fine wrinkles
  • Pigment irregularities (age spots or uneven skin tone)
  • Sun damage
  • Dehydrated skin
  • Dark circles and fine lines around the eye (Eye Cream)

WHAT SEPARATES FACEMD™ FROM OTHER MEDICAL GRADE PRODUCT LINES?

  • The products contain no fragrances and no artificial colors (the pink in the Botanic Cleanser is natural)
  • The products contain almost no preservatives (needed only in the eye cream because of its high hyaluronic acid content)
  • The products are not tested on animals
  • The Natural Exfoliator has a higher glycolic acid concentration than other lines allowing for greater exfoliation and wrinkle treatment
  • May safely be used in pregnant and nursing women
  • The products are organic, natural, effective, and well tolerated

WHAT ADJUCTIVE SKIN CARE PRODUCTS AND TREATMENTS DO DRS. VELARGO AND HENDRICK RECOMMEND?

Drs. Velargo and Hendrick may prescribe tretinoin (e.g. Retin-A) or hydroquinone to help achieve the desired results.  Additionally, certain chemical peels may be recommended to augment your skin treatment.  In any case, they monitor your results and response to the products closely.  The FaceMD™ line is our maintenance program of choice to keep your skin looking its best, and it is a great way to complement and retain the results obtained from other surgical and non-surgical procedures.

Tretinoin (e.g. Retin-A) is a prescription product derived from Vitamin A that sheds the outer layers of skin and stimulates collagen growth in the deeper skin layers.  It comes in varying strengths.  When Dr. Velargo or Dr. Hendrick prescribes this medication they will monitor your response and develop a treatment regimen to ensure that your skin does not become overwhelmed with the product.  You can, however, expect some pinkness and flaking in the first weeks of use.

Hydroquinone is a prescription skin lightener that comes in different strengths.  This is the product that helps correct pigment irregularities.

In addition to FaceMD™, the New Orleans Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery carries several other carefully selected skin care products to complement the FaceMD™ product line.

When an excellent skin care product line, such as FaceMD™, is combined with a series of superficial to medium depth chemical peels (e.g. TCA peels) performed by Dr. Velargo or Dr. Hendrick, the results can be amazing.  Not all patients are candidates for peels, but your unique treatment plan will be discussed upon your expert skin care consultation with Dr. Velargo or Dr. Hendrick.

In addition to FaceMD™, the New Orleans Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery carries several other carefully selected skin care products to complement the FaceMD™ product line, including EltaMD, Skin Better Science, and Obagi.

    I cannot begin to express how pleased I am with the results of the procedures from Drs. Velargo and Hendrick!! They are very caring and professional in the care of their patients and the office staff rocks!! They listened to the concerns that brought me to their office for correction, then suggested options with sincerity. I felt very comfortable with both of them and will most definitely be a patient of theirs for life!!

    My experience here was truly wonderful. Dr. Gary took her time and really talked to me about what my expectations were and how we could achieve it. She’s very kind and makes you feel like you can talk to her about all your concerns, no matter how minor. And the results were incredible and natural, which was a huge priority for me. The rest of the staff were fantastic as well, and they really make you feel welcome. The facility is beautiful and relaxing with a spa feel. I will definitely be back to see Dr. Gary and the rest of the lovely folks here!

    I was really nervous about getting a breast augmentation because I really wanted it to look natural and proportionate to my body. On my first visit/consultation Dr. Hendricks and his staff made me feel really comfortable! He truly listened to me and made me feel at ease throughout every step of the process. Very kind and personable doctor! I would 100% recommend them to anyone thinking about a procedure, especially if you’re looking for a natural look and a doctor who won’t pressure you otherwise! Bonus, the office is very beautiful (feels like a spa) with an incredible view of the city. Definitely check them out!
