Stretch Marks Removal
Everyone hates having stretch marks. They show up on our skin due to hormone changes during phases in our lives. These hormonal shifts may be due to events such as pregnancy, major weight loss or gain, puberty, even weight lifting all may contribute to the formation of stretch marks.

Skin with stretch marks looks very different from normal skin, the hallmark red or white lines which streak across our skin stand out greatly. What’s strange is that skin with stretch marks looks almost identical to normal, healthy skin under a microscope. The damaged elastin fiber proteins in the skin only make up about 4% of skin, though the appearance is much more significant.

Fortunately new lasers, such as Fraxel and Affirm, can help diminish some of the textural problems with stretch marks. Call to schedule an appointment today to learn more about laser treatment for stretch marks.

Dr. Lori Brightman is such a talented doctor, who posseses an amazing balance of artistry, and knowledge. She knows just how to keep my face looking youthful and refreshed, yet the fact that I have actually "done" anything, is imperceptible. My job as a model requires constant scrutiny, and I always feel confident with the help of Dr Brightman. She does a flawless job with my Botox...just enought... And also a tiny bit of restalyne to add a touch of healthy fullness to my cheeks.

I had Laser Assisted Lipo performed recently on my neck by Dr. Lori Brightman. The results are incredible!!! She made me feel at ease with her knowledge of the procedure and genuine kindness throughout the process. She took the time to make sure I understood everything completely. Dr. Brightman is a wonderful doctor. I highly recommend her.

I've used Dr. Brightman four times now for facial botox and am always thrilled with the results. I find her not only a skilled doctor but extremely knowledgable in both her field and medicine in general. Her patience and genuine concern are what I appreciate the most. She always has time to answer any questions I might have, whether they are for me, my family or a friend. This is, in my opinion, what sets her apart from her peers.

I went to see Dr. Brightman in preparation for my wedding. She used fraxel for scars on my face and also treated me with botox injections for fine lines around my eyes. I was so excited at the exceptional work that she did. She is extremely friendly. Has a wonderful bedside manner and made me look so beautiful for my special day!!! I have recommended her to all my friends and family.

I recently had Laser Assisted Lipo performed on my upper arms by Dr Lori Brightman. As the Executive Style Director of Shape Magazine, I have access to the best of the best—yet can honestly say that this doctor is outstanding. Dr Brightman is that all-too-rare combo of a skilled aesthetic surgeon with the honest compassion of your closet friend. I would—and do—recommend her to anyone considering any kind of aesthetic enhancement.

My experience with Dr. Lori Brightman was exceptional. I am thrilled with my results and I only wish I scheduled sooner and had not waited so long. Dr. Brightman has a first class bedside manner, and a enormous wealth of knowledge and experiences that she takes from her lecture series and clinical trials that she regularly takes part in. She is the Director of Dermatology at New York Eye and Ear and she is in private practice in New York City and being from Boston it is well worth the travel to see her.
