With an eye toward creating natural-looking results, Dr. Phillip Chang has created the Aesthetica Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Center, a full-service plastic surgery practice with offices located in Loudoun and Fairfax counties, Virginia. He offers an array of facial, breast, and body-contouring ‘mommy makeover” procedures which emphasize natural results with less recovery times such as the minimal scar mini-facelift and breast augmentation procedures.

Dr. Chang has recently been featured in New Beauty magazine and is listed as one of the “Top Doctors” in Virginia by Health and Beauty magazine. According to Allergan, the company which provides BOTOX® Cosmetic and Natrelle breast implants, Dr. Chang’s office provides more BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments and facial fillers such as JUVÉDERM® than any other single practitioner in Virginia.

Facial Fillers:

The facial fillers used at Radiance include Juviderm™, Radiesse™, and Restylane®. You will have the opportunity to choose one of the facial fillers after consulting with Dr. Chang or one of the Physician’s Assistants. These cosmetic dermal fillers are used to:

• Restore facial volume and fullness to the skin
• Correct facial wrinkles and folds
• Reducing the depth of the parenthesis lines around the mouth
• Reducing the fine lines of the upper lip
• Restore the volume of the lips and cheeks to make them fuller
• Contour the nasal shape in a procedure called the one-hour rhinoplasty

Juvérderm™, Radiesse™, and Restylane® have been used in over two million treatments in over 60 countries. They are often used in conjunction with Botox to provide a nonsurgical cosmetic make-over for Dr. Chang’s patients. The products last on average about six months to one year depending on the product; and therefore only needs to be schedules two to three times per year.

BOTOX®

Botox has been established as one of the safest and most effective ways in reducing the fine lines in the upper face. It is one of the most popular and effective nonsurgical cosmetic
treatments available at Radiance. Dr. Chang and the Physician’s Assistants at Radiance are
treating close to three to four patients a day. It is most often used for:

• Horizontal “worry” lines of the forehead
• Vertical “angry” lines between the eyebrows
• Fine “crows feet” lines around the eyes

The Aesthetica Approach to Anti-Aging and Rejuvenation evolved around the idea that the factors that affect aging are multifactorial, and therefore the methods used to combat the appearance of aging also have to be multifactorial. Dr. Chang and the staff at Radiance have developed the 3 Step Anti-Aging and Rejuvenation package. This Anti-Aging and Rejuvenation package has been created for your convenience and cost-effectiveness. First the Photofacial IPL Intense Pulse Laser is used to treat the appearance of brown age and sun spots. Next, the Pro-Fractional Laser Peel is used to treat fine lines and tighten skin. And finally, Botox and or fillers are used to plump up the deeper lines around the face.

Step 1: IPL Photofacial – For treatment of brown age and sun spots
Step 2: Pro-Fractional Laser – For treatment of fine lines and skin tightening
Step3: Botox and Facial Fillers – Plump up deeper lines and lips and cheeks ( Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse )
