A HydraFacial shows its value fast when the skin looks flat, congested, or tired. At Athena Med Spa in Stuart and West Palm Beach, I often see patients come in wanting a clearer, smoother look before an event, then return later asking how to keep that result from fading too quickly. The honest answer is that a HydraFacial before and after change is real, but it's usually a surface-level transformation that improves with the right plan, not a one-and-done fix.

The treatment works by combining cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration in one session, which is why the skin often looks brighter and feels cleaner right away. Athena Plastic Surgery offers HydraFacial® as a med spa service, and that fits the patients who want a practical, non-surgical refresh without long downtime. For the best context, the most useful before-and-after comparison isn't just a photo, it's the skin concern behind the photo, whether that's acne, dullness, fine lines, sun damage, or visible pores.

What matters clinically is what HydraFacial is best at. The strongest documented effects are on the skin's surface and hydration, while deeper structural change is more limited, so expectations should stay grounded in the science. That's why the best results usually come from matching the protocol to the concern, then deciding whether lasers, injectables, or other in-office treatments should come next.

Ready for Your Own HydraFacial Transformation?

1. Deep Wrinkle and Fine Line Reduction with HydraFacial

Fine lines usually look worse when skin is dehydrated and coated with dead surface cells, so the first change patients notice after a HydraFacial is often a softer, smoother surface rather than a dramatic “erase.” The device's vortex-style delivery helps remove debris while infusing serums that support hydration, which can make expression lines look less etched in photographs and in person.

An illustration comparing skin texture before and after a HydraFacial treatment using Vortex-Fusion technology for rejuvenation.

A patient with forehead creasing often sees the best change when the treatment is part of a series rather than a single visit. That pattern lines up with the clinical study of the Clarifying Treatment series, where six treatments over 12 weeks improved acne outcomes across repeated sessions, which shows how visible skin change can accumulate over time instead of appearing all at once PubMed Central study summary.

Practical rule: HydraFacial is strongest for skin quality, not structural wrinkle correction. If a patient's lines are mostly from movement or volume loss, pairing with Botox, Dysport, or a dermal filler plan at Athena Med Spa usually makes more sense than asking one facial to do everything.

What usually works best

Hydration first: Dry skin catches light unevenly, so replenishing moisture can make lines look less obvious.
Series scheduling: Repeated sessions often make more sense than a single visit when the goal is a steadier before-and-after change.
Smart sequencing: If static lines are the main complaint, injectables may be the next step after skin prep.

For patients in Stuart or West Palm Beach who want a refreshed look before a family event, realistic expectations matter. HydraFacial can improve the canvas, but it doesn't replace wrinkle-relaxing injectables or lifting procedures when the concern is deeper facial aging.

2. Sun Damage and Uneven Skin Tone Correction

Sun damage is one of the easiest problems to spot in a before-and-after gallery because the skin often looks brighter almost immediately after treatment. The reason is simple, the facial removes dull surface buildup and delivers hydration, so the complexion reflects light more evenly even before pigment issues fully settle.

HydraFacial's own results data reports that 100% of participants saw decreased pore size, 90% saw decreased visible fine lines, 80% saw improved tone and texture, and 70% saw increased skin hydration, which helps explain why many patients describe a quicker “reset” in tone and clarity after treatment HydraFacial proven-results dataset. That's not the same as erasing deeper sun spots, but it does create a noticeably cleaner surface.

A patient with uneven color from years of Florida sun exposure often benefits from a maintenance mindset. The practical aftercare guidance notes that the skin can usually return to regular routines after 24 hours, and makeup is usually okay the next day, which makes HydraFacial useful before social events when the goal is to look more even without a long recovery Healthline overview.

When HydraFacial is enough, and when it isn't

HydraFacial works well for:

Mild dullness and surface roughness, where exfoliation changes how light hits the skin.
Early uneven tone, where the goal is more glow and less congestion.
Maintenance between stronger treatments, especially when the skin needs a calm refresh.

It's less complete for:

Deeper brown spots, where pigment-specific laser treatment may be more appropriate.
Moderate to severe photodamage, where the skin needs more than exfoliation to look even.

At Athena, Laser Genesis or CO2 laser can enter the conversation if the sun damage is more entrenched. HydraFacial improves the immediate finish, while laser-based options are better when patients want a more aggressive approach to tone and texture over time.

3. Acne-Prone Skin and Post-Acne Texture Refinement

Acne patients usually care about two separate outcomes, fewer active breakouts and less leftover texture. HydraFacial helps most when the skin is congested, because the extraction step clears debris while the treatment supports a cleaner, less oily-looking surface.

A split illustration showing a before-and-after comparison of facial skin texture treated with a HydraFacial procedure.

The strongest clinical point here is that repeated treatment can compound. In the first clinical study of the Clarifying Treatment series, six HydraFacial sessions over 12 weeks moved the share of patients rated as having no acne to almost clear skin from 20% at baseline to 65% at final investigator assessment, and patient self-assessment rose from 5% to 55% PubMed Central study summary. Mean investigator GASS also fell from 2.10 to 1.33, while mean patient GASS fell from 2.45 to 1.61 in that same study PubMed Central study summary.

For acne-prone patients, the why matters. HydraFacial isn't just washing the face, it's clearing the environment where oil, dead cells, and surface buildup collect. That's why patients with blackheads and visible congestion often see a smoother nose, cleaner cheeks, and less patchy texture after a series.

If the acne is hormonally driven or deeply cystic, HydraFacial alone won't carry the whole plan. At Athena, I'd rather use it as part of a broader skin strategy than oversell it as a cure.

A strong practical next step for patients whose main concern is post-acne scarring is microneedling for acne scars, because that reaches deeper than surface extraction. HydraFacial can clear and calm the skin first, then microneedling can target the scar architecture that facial treatments can't fully smooth.

4. Dull Complexion and Loss of Radiance Restoration

Dull skin usually isn't “bad skin,” it's skin that's overloaded with dead cells, dryness, and everyday buildup. HydraFacial tends to help this concern quickly because the face looks cleaner, reflects light better, and feels more hydrated right after treatment.

The best-supported immediate effects are hydration and surface smoothness. An evidence-based review notes that HydraFacial's effects are strongest at the surface level, and imaging studies found the outer stratum corneum temporarily thinned immediately after treatment, then recovered by two weeks and even normalized slightly above baseline, which supports the idea of a short-term glow rather than deep remodeling Evidence review. That same review noted no dermal collagen change at two weeks, so the treatment is better understood as resurfacing and hydration, not deep structural correction Evidence review.

A patient coming in before a wedding, reunion, or work event usually wants the skin to look rested without obvious peeling. HydraFacial fits that goal well because the complexion can look more luminous after a single appointment, and the treatment is gentle enough for many skin types.

How we time it in practice

Before events: Schedule it 1 to 2 days ahead so the skin has time to settle.
For maintenance: Monthly or bi-monthly sessions make more sense when the goal is steady radiance.
For more volume loss: Injectables may be the better next step if the face looks tired because it's deflated, not just dull.

HydraFacial can also pair well with Laser Genesis for patients who want ongoing texture improvement without jumping straight to a more aggressive resurfacing plan. If the issue is mostly hydration and tone, though, the before-and-after often comes down to one thing, the skin looks awake again.

5. Large Pore Visibility and Skin Texture Refinement

Large pores are usually less about the pore itself and more about what's sitting around it. When dead cells, oil, and debris pile up, pores cast a shadow and look larger, which is why HydraFacial often improves their appearance without changing pore anatomy.

A split-screen illustration comparing skin with sun damage before and healthy glowing skin after a Hydrafacial treatment.

HydraFacial's own results data is especially relevant here because it reports that 100% of participants saw decreased pore size HydraFacial proven-results dataset. That doesn't mean every patient gets the same visual change, but it does support the common before-and-after observation that cleaner skin looks tighter and more refined.

The technology matters. Vortex-style suction helps clear the pore opening while serum infusion supports a smoother finish, so the skin doesn't just look less congested, it often looks more polished in makeup and in natural light. Patients with an oily T-zone usually notice this most on the nose and cheeks.

What helps the result last

Avoid touching or squeezing skin, because that reintroduces inflammation and makes texture look worse.
Use mattifying skincare wisely, especially if shine makes pores more noticeable.
Keep appointments consistent, because pore visibility often creeps back as buildup returns.

For patients who want a longer-term texture plan, does RF microneedling tighten skin? becomes a relevant discussion when the issue goes beyond visible pores and includes laxity or broader textural roughness. HydraFacial cleans up the surface, while RF microneedling is the stronger choice when the concern is collagen support beneath the skin.

6. Sensitive and Reactive Skin Barrier Restoration

Sensitive skin needs a lighter hand, not a different goal. The right HydraFacial protocol can still clean, hydrate, and calm the skin, but the settings and serums have to respect a compromised barrier.

A lot of reactive patients come in worried that any exfoliation will trigger redness. In practice, a gentler HydraFacial approach can be useful because it removes buildup without the scratchy feel that many patients associate with harsher treatments, and the short treatment window makes it easier to control irritation.

The evidence base supports a surface-focused benefit, not a deep injury, which is part of why many sensitive-skin patients tolerate the treatment well when it's customized. The clinical picture is less about changing the skin's structure and more about giving the barrier a cleaner, better-hydrated starting point.

Practical rule: If a patient flushes easily, I want that history discussed before the handpiece ever touches the face. That lets the provider adjust suction, choose calmer serums, and avoid over-treating a barrier that's already struggling.

A thoughtful plan for reactive skin usually includes:

Less frequent spacing, because sensitive skin may do better with more recovery time between sessions.
Fragrance-free aftercare, since perfume-heavy products can sting.
Heat avoidance for a day, because saunas, hot water, and flushing triggers can undo the calm, fresh look.

The before-and-after difference for this group is subtle but important. Redness often looks less angry, the skin feels less tight, and makeup tends to sit more evenly. That's not flashy marketing language, it's the practical value of a treatment that supports the skin without pushing it too hard.

7. Superficial Scarring and Minor Textural Irregularities Improvement

Shallow scars are frustrating because they catch light in a way that makes the skin look uneven even when breakouts are gone. HydraFacial can help soften that look by clearing surface debris and smoothing the outer layer, but it works best on minor irregularity, not deep pitted scarring.

The evidence points to a surface-level effect. In published human studies summarized in the literature, immediate improvement is strongest for hydration and surface smoothness, and imaging data shows the outer skin layer changes right away and then recovers over time Evidence review. That makes HydraFacial a sensible choice for patients whose scars are shallow, whose texture is bumpy, or whose post-acne marks still look rough in makeup.

A patient with old acne marks may see the biggest difference around the cheeks and temples, where irregular texture tends to show most under overhead light. The skin doesn't become scar-free, but the transition from “textured” to “more even” can be meaningful in day-to-day appearance.

Best use cases

Mild surface irregularity, where polishing the top layer makes a visual difference.
Post-inflammatory marks, where smoother skin helps the complexion look more uniform.
Combination plans, where HydraFacial prepares the skin before deeper treatments.

For deeper scars, HydraFacial is usually not the endpoint. It can be part of a laddered plan, then EndyMed Intensif RF microneedling can be considered when the goal is more aggressive remodeling of the tissue beneath the surface. Between professional visits, scar support products can help, but the main win comes from realistic sequencing, not expecting one facial to flatten every scar.

8. Pre-Procedure Skin Optimization and Post-Procedure Healing Support

HydraFacial can be useful before surgery or other aesthetic procedures when the skin needs to be clean, hydrated, and calm. That's especially true for patients who want their skin in the best possible condition ahead of a consultation or who are recovering and need gentle support once the surgical team says the skin is ready.

There's also a timing issue that patients don't always think through. One set of pre/post-care instructions says lasers and chemical peels should be avoided for 2 weeks before treatment, and Botox or filler may be done the same day only after HydraFacial, while another advises waiting about 48 hours before laser hair removal if HydraFacial comes first and 7 to 10 days before HydraFacial if laser comes first Patient care guidance. That's why sequencing matters as much as the treatment itself.

For surgical patients, a gentle pre-op HydraFacial can help improve hydration and reduce surface dryness, which makes skin care easier leading into a procedure. After treatment, the skin must be allowed to heal on the surgeon's timeline, not the patient's calendar.

The best post-procedure plan is coordinated care, not improvisation. If the skin is still inflamed, peeling, or tender, a facial can wait.

Athena's own patient education around recovery is relevant here, especially the post-procedure skin care instructions for ablative resurfacing treatments, because the same logic applies, gentle cleansing, hydration, and sun protection come first. When the skin is ready, a HydraFacial can help restore comfort and clarity without feeling overly aggressive.

Ready for Your Own HydraFacial Transformation?

These before-and-after examples show how much a customized HydraFacial can do when the skin concern is matched to the right protocol. For some patients, the change is a cleaner pore pattern and better hydration. For others, it's a softer look to fine lines, a brighter tone, or a calmer barrier that finally stops looking irritated.

The clearest takeaway is that HydraFacial before and after results are strongest when the plan is specific. Acne-prone skin needs a different approach than sun damage. Sensitive skin needs different settings than oily, congested skin. Deep wrinkles, true volume loss, and advanced scarring often need HydraFacial as part of a larger treatment plan that may include injectables, lasers, or RF microneedling.

At Athena Med Spa, the point of the consultation is to look at the skin in context, not just compare photos. I want to know what bothers you most in natural light, what your skin can tolerate, and what kind of maintenance you're willing to do after the first result fades. That's how we build a plan that feels realistic instead of promotional.

If you're in Stuart, West Palm Beach, or anywhere in Palm Beach County and you want a skin-rejuvenation plan built around your actual concern, schedule a consultation with Athena Plastic Surgery. Bring your goals, your skin history, and a few honest before-and-after examples you like, then let the team map out the best next step.

Athena Plastic Surgery offers HydraFacial as part of its med spa care, along with lasers, injectables, and non-surgical skin treatments that can complement your result. If you're ready to see what a customized plan could do for your skin, visit Athena Plastic Surgery and book a consultation to get started.

Athena Plastic Surgeon , is a phenomenal doctor right down to his staff. I would never consider going to anyone else. I have been seeing him approximately seven or eight years now. Dr. Avron is a total perfectionist. If he tells you, he does not think that something would work for you or, right for you. He won’t do it. That’s hard to find in a doctor today. You are his number one concern, a natural healthy look.

Cynthia Martinez

I had such a wonderful experience getting lip filler! Dr. Lipschitz took the time to explain everything thoroughly and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. He was incredibly kind, patient, and really listened to what I wanted. I was hoping for a natural-looking result, and my lips turned out exactly how I envisioned them, beautiful and subtle without looking overdone. I’m so happy with my results and would absolutely recommend him!

Mark Hirst

This facility must clearly be rated as one of the top rated plastic surgery centers in Florida. Doctor Lipschitz is world renown and accomplished with a history from Cape Town to the Palm Beaches. The amazing facility in Port St Lucie can accommodate most procedures in house in a state of the art surgery OR that I have personally experienced with excellent results and all in-house. Aesthetics are comparable to the best high end spas and medical receptions anywhere in the world. I have always been extremely happy with the friendly services and fair pricing received over the years. Thank you Doctor Avy !!

Cornelis Pameijer

I had a few skin lesions removed of which one required a free skin graft on my forehead. The end result is very nice. Staff and doctor were professional and very pleasant and accommodating. I do recommend without reservations.

Barbra Pineiro

Dr. Lipschitz is a wonderful surgeon. He is not only kind and easy to speak with, but his skills are impeccable. I have been seeing him for years, ever since he quickly corrected a problem area on my face which a host of doctors said could not be corrected. His skills are unmatched!

Dr. Lipshitz makes you really feel comfortable. You know that he and his office are concerned for your well being. My procedure went as I expected. Everything was explained before hand. Dr. Avron is the best.

Ali Navarro-Jalice

From my very first consultation to every follow-up appointment, my experience with Dr. L (Avron) and his patient coordinator, Terri, has been nothing short of exceptional. Tatiana, his nursing assistant, is also truly amazing. Terri was kind, patient, responsive, and made me feel supported every step of the way. She was the primary factor that promulgated my consideration of Dr. L. Plastic surgery can be overwhelming, but Terri always took the time to answer my questions, ease my concerns, and made me feel like I was her top priority. She is an incredible asset to the practice. This was my fourth plastic surgery procedure, and all of my previous surgeries were performed by well-known surgeons in Miami. I can honestly say that none of them compare to Dr. L. He is just the best in every way and words can’t adequately describe my satiation with his artistry and his medical expertise. Dr. L is, without question, the best plastic surgeon I have ever had. His skills are extraordinary, but what truly sets him apart is who he is as a person. He is humble, compassionate, honest, and genuinely cares about his patients. He never made me feel rushed, took the time to explain everything thoroughly, and his attention to detail is remarkable. Not only is he an incredibly talented surgeon, but he also has a bedside manner that is rare to find. He made me feel safe, confident, and completely cared for throughout the entire process. My results have exceeded my expectations, and even during recovery, I knew I had made the right choice. If you’re considering plastic surgery, I cannot recommend Dr. L and his team highly enough. After four procedures with different surgeons, I can confidently say that I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Dr. L is simply the best, and Terri and Tatiani makes the entire experience even more exceptional. Thank you all for your kindness, professionalism, and for changing my life. I am beyond grateful.

Robert Mergupis

Made my wife feeling very comfortable again, thank you Doc!

Robert Kunkle

Always 100% professional. Would not go elsewhere.

Anita Russo

I had a few facial procedures done approximately 3 months ago and am very satisfied. I wanted a natural, refreshed look which is exactly what I received. Terri, the surgery coordinator, was kind and an extremely warm person. No amount of questions were too many. She helped make the process seamless.She always got back to me in a timely manner. Dr. L is a warm, caring surgeon. From start to finish and after surgery, he was always available, even providing his cellphone for any questions or concerns. He is a perfectionist which I truly appreciate. I stayed overnight in the surgery suite with a nurse which was most convenient as I was there for next morning appointment to have drains removed, etc. A nice touch was a delicious smoothie early evening and breakfast the next morning. After the surgery, I had lymphatic massages for a few weeks with Meredith, which really helped the healing process. She too, was a sweetheart. I would highly recommend this practice which I believe was a 10 out of 10!

Chantal C

I’m not one to always leave reviews but I felt compelled in this particular instance. As someone who works in the healthcare field, I came in particular, detail-oriented, and with a very long list of questions. Dr. Lipschitz never made me feel like a burden for it. He took his time at every visit, answered everything thoroughly, and he and Terri stayed responsive and available from consult all the way through recovery. His knowledge and skill are evident — and I genuinely believe his expertise has made my recovery smoother than I expected. So far I am very happy with my results. Dr. Schwartz was wonderful as well. The entire staff — Olivia, Meredith, and everyone in between — played a big part in making this a positive experience. Every interaction felt warm, professional, and reassuring. The whole experience exceeded my expectations and I'm grateful to this entire team. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I feel very blessed to have found Dr. Lipschitz after researching doctors that do reconstructive surgery after having a stoma and coloscopy. His team is very supportive and professional. He has an extensive knowledge of the human body and is always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have. I highly recommend him for any type of plastic surgery or reconstructive procedures. In a world where doctors are so busy he proves to be accessible, accommodating and supportive of his patients.

Alice O'Shea

Athena Plastic Surgery and Dr. Avron Lipschitz were recommended by several of my personal doctors. I am so happy I took professional advice for whom to use for my face lift and arm surgery. I had a face lift on Jan 20, 2026, and my arms done on Feb26,2026. Both surgeries were done perfectly. I had no complications and the results are amazing. My son says I look 30 years younger. The amazing thing is those who did not know me before surgery can not tell I had a face lift. They compliment me on how youthful I look, or my makeup, but no one believes I am 70, or can tell I had a facelift. The sign of a perfect face lift is others can not tell you had one. My mouth does not stretch clear across my face or my skin is not pulled or puckered. But my frown lines that made me look like I had a hinged puppet mouth are completely gone. My neck looks like it did when I was on my 20s. Dr. Lipschitz and his entire staff are so caring and provide the most wonderful services and bedside manner. I am so glad I decided to follow my doctors recommendations and went with the very best. If you would like to talk to a person who had surgery. Have Terri give me your number and name and you can talk to a real patient.

Azucena Calderon

had a great experience at Athena Plastic Surgery. The doctor was very professional, honest, and took the time to explain everything clearly. I really appreciated that they showed me the product before the treatment, which made me feel confident and safe. The staff was kind, and the whole process felt clean and well organized. I’m very happy with my visit and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for quality and transparency.

Gail St Jacques

I’m not even sure where to begin. Dr Lipshitz did a deep planing + facelift on me. To say he is an artist and perfectionist is just the beginning. He is compassionate, calming, and reassuring from consultation through where I am in recovery (which is 6 days out).. He and his entire team treat you like family,. I googled and reviewed more surgeons that I can say and my decision to go with Athena Plastic Surgery was the right choice. I would also like to give a special shout out to Terri, the patient liaison. She is more than my go to girl, she has become a friend. She explains and communicates every minutia detail. She and the Dr both gave me their private numbers and said to text or call any time 24/7. Please if you are looking for someone who is leading edge on all procedures at least talk to them, they will not disappoint.

JP Greco

I have been a patient of of athenoplastic surgery and Dr. Avi lipshitz for 9 years. Over the last 9 years he has basically changed my whole life. Always very professional. And caring complete makeover but didn't change the way I looked. Just kept me looking the same youthful self

Drenda Carter

Trina

I’ve had 3 different surgeries recently, and the level of care, and also what Avron did is just amazing. He is very clear on what he is doing, and aftercare is AMAZING. I recently also started some Botox treatments and Meredith is fantastic. All the staff is great and friendly. I HIGHLY recommend Athena for your cosmetic needs!!!!!

Alan Lulay

Excellent highly recommend.

GOOD OLD DAZE

Gotta say Dr. Lipschtiz is the man… your in good hands… he works miracles and I’m happy with my nose… I had a dog bite scar that split my nose and for many years had to walk around like Frankenstein… it wasn’t a cool scar… After surgery I felt like I finally got rid of the monster… it was a big relief… I am eternally grateful and will sing him praises and give this man his flowers for life… so that’s my 2 cents if your on the fence… its well worth it!!!!

martha smith

I am a 76-year-old woman who never had any surgeries before but wanted a full-face lift in my final years on this planet. I interviewed several plastic surgeons and the only one I felt 110% safe and confident with was Dr Lipschitz. He explained ALL to me from the beginning to the end of the procedure. He was there 24/7 after the surgery and beyond. If I needed anything or had any issues he was there. I felt safe and confident that I would be just fine and I was. He helped me calm down and heal in a caring manner. He never complained or felt I was a bother to him. I am so pleased with my results, and I promise you that you will not be disappointed with this dr or his caring staff. This dr is a true masterpiece with his hands and skills to make me look young again at my age. If you don't use this dr you will regret it.

Angela Garrido

In being a first timer on January 7, 2026 with Athena Plastic Surgery. My orthopedic Dr as well as my surgeon. He recommended Dr. Lipschitz for help with a non healing incision that was touched by a therapist to soon after surgery. Dr. Lipschitz, is a caring, passionate, and knowledgeable in his field. Today, February 11, the incision is much better than my actual first visit. I am so grateful for his expertise in getting me back on a healing track. Athena has a great staff Brandi, Rachel, Olivia, front desk personnel (don’t want to butcher the spelling of her name - lol) were the main ones I dealt with. I had no bas experiences during my time. I didn’t get a couple of returned calls; however it was not that serious to penalize them. I definitely recommend Athena for beauty enhancements with Dr. Lipschitz. Thank you so much for your service. 100000/10

I have gone to Meredith for Botox about 3 times. She does an excellent job of pinpointing exactly where I need it and….she is fun!! Sometimes it can be a little intimidating getting self improvement services done but Meredith was so kind and natural. If you are thinking about Botox I highly recommend going to Meredith. And make sure to book a morning appt. She will get your day started with a laugh and a positive outlook! Thank you, Meredith.😀

Dr. Lipschitz is extremely talented and knowledgeable. I am so thrilled with my septorhinoplasty results and I can breathe so much better.

I cannot say enough good things about Athena Plastic Surgery and Doctor Lipschitz, as well as his team. If you go here for anything, you will be in good hands. I can’t believe we have one of the very best plastic surgeons in the whole world, right here in Stuart, Florida.

I am so pleased with my experience with Dr. Lipschitz and his team! I’m a teacher and new to the area. One of my child’s parents referred him to me. It wasn’t necessarily an easy case. I had been in a good deal of pain and felt very self conscious. I was so pleased, he listened to me, discussed my options and I was on the books! I felt like I was in good hands and I was! I had gone to other surgeons who ran through a countlessly given speech…I was just another patient. I am very happy with Dr. Lipschitz’s work and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

I went to Dr. Lipschitz years ago for fillers and I really appreciated that he educated me on both short-and-long-term results. This is why I chose him to do some more maintenance work recently, and once again, he acted with integrity. It was a big decision for me and he and his staff answered my questions candidly and treated me with professionalism and care. The best part is the significant improvement his artistry has made on my appearance, confidence and life overall. Dr. Lipschitz is one of the top plastic surgeons in the country, you can read up on his degrees, honors and extensive training (indcluding a fellowship at Johns Hopkins). I couldn't imagine going anywhere else and I couldn't be happier with my results.
