Patient Testimonial


My dermatologist referred me to Dr. Schwarz the day she removed a large area of cancer from my nose (by MOHS procedure). It was April Fool's day, but this was no joke! I had never imagined needing plastic surgery, and on that day certainly could not picture my nose being normal ever again. But that very afternoon Dr. Schwarz carefully repaired the defect with calm confidence and optimism. I appreciated his thoughtful approach and the way he included me in the choice of repair options. It's been over a year and my friends have to ask me to point out the scar! His easy personality have made the follow-up visits a delight. As a nurse, I realize sometimes you must choose skill over personality, but with Dr. Schwarz, you get both skill and personable client relations all in one package!

Skin Care

Not everyone needs a surgical procedure to look more fabulous; we also offer non-invasive skin care solutions to revitalize your skin. Dr Schwarz and his licensed estheticians, Katy Norman and Yelena Migirova, work closely together to determine the best treatment for your face and skin at our Raleigh, North Carolina office.

Botox

Botox is a safe, popular, non-surgical injection performed in our office that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines between the eyes, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes, and thick bands in the neck. Botox relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more relaxed and refreshed appearance. Botox begins to work in about three to four days, and results typically last for four months with the most common side effect being minor, temporary bruising at the injection site.

Restylane and Juvederm

Restylane and Juvederm are hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. They are very different from Botox as “fillers” are used to plump and restore volume in areas that have lost volume due to aging, and work beautifully in conjunction with Botox to rejuvenate the face. Fillers are most commonly used to improve facial wrinkles and folds including the nasolabial folds (smile lines). Dr Schwarz also uses fillers for lip augmentation where he can create more voluptuous, and natural full lips. Longevity of dermal fillers is variable from patient to patient but typical results last six months.

Chemical Peel

Chemical peels are wonderful for improving the overall texture and tone of your skin.
We offer many different peels ranging from mild peels, which are best repeated at intervals throughout the year, to more aggressive one time peels that offer dramatic results with a little more down time. Katy Norman can apply a peel that’s right for your skin whether it is to help diminish large pores, fade areas of pigmentation caused by sun damage or treat rosacea.
