Services
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty addresses droopy eyelids and excess skin through precise surgical techniques. This procedure restores functional vision while enhancing facial aesthetics. Patients benefit from Dr. Schlessinger's specialized expertise in oculofacial anatomy, ensuring natural-looking results with minimal scarring. Recovery typically involves 1-2 weeks of swelling reduction.
Botox Injections
Botox treatments temporarily reduce dynamic facial wrinkles by relaxing targeted muscles. Our medical team customizes injection patterns to maintain natural expressions while smoothing crow's feet, forehead lines, and glabellar creases. Results appear within 3-7 days and last 3-4 months with proper maintenance.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production in deeper skin layers. This non-invasive treatment tightens lax skin on the brow, neck, and under-chin area. A single session delivers gradual lifting effects over 2-3 months, ideal for patients seeking subtle rejuvenation without downtime.
IPL Laser Treatments
Intense Pulsed Light therapy targets pigmentation irregularities, sun damage, and vascular lesions. Our customized IPL protocols improve skin texture and tone across the face and dcolletage. A series of 3-5 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart yields optimal results for even complexion.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our comprehensive dry eye management combines advanced diagnostics with personalized treatment plans. Options include iLux thermal therapy for meibomian gland dysfunction, punctal plugs, and prescription medications. The program addresses underlying causes while providing immediate symptom relief through specialized lubricants and lid hygiene protocols.

Outstanding experience with S|E|F, fully satisfied. Family members also had droopy eyelids, genetic I guess, and were having peripheral vision challenges. A year ago they had Dr. Schlessinger operate to remove the excess skin. Both turned out perfectly, can't tell anything was done so I decided this year was my turn. If you just follow the Drs. Pre and post-op directions closely you will have little bruising and a quick recovery.
My stitches came out today, a week after the procedure, and while slightly swollen it is easy to see the vast improvement. Once this is completely healed you won't be able to discern that anything had been done. Could not be happier. If you have wanted to do this for yourself then run, don't walk, to S|E|F!

I am very pleased with the outcome of my blepharoplasty surgery and brow lift. Dr. Schlessinger treated me well at each visit. He explained what I could expect at each stage of my surgery and he answered my questions with clarity and precise information. His staff was phenomenal in providing me with data and support before and after my surgery. I'm so happy that I did this surgery and chose Dr. Schlessinger as he's a perfectionist and it shows in the outcome of my surgery. Kudos to Dr. Schlessinger and his entire staff in making my experience so pleasant.

I found Dr. Schlessinger online, and then someone who new someone recommended him. I can not say enough wonderful things about Dr. Schlessinger and his staff. He is an artist and I highly recommend him. When they tell you you need to wait for a full six months to see your best result, they are right on the money. I had my upper lids done, Botox and my lips enhanced, not all at once lol. I didn't want duck lips and he listened and did a perfect job. He and his staff listen. Run don't wait to see this dr and his staff. Awesome place.
