This page offers a general overview of the cosmetic  procedures Board Certified Dermatologist, Debra Jaliman performs in her Manhattan office.


Anti-Aging Treatments Both traditional medicines and newly discovered anti-aging treatments are employed here, with careful consideration of the needs and philosophies of each particular patient to produce a visibly younger complexion.

Antioxidant Peel This is the latest addition to our in-office peels. The anti-oxidant peel contains Vitamin C and E, Green Tea extract, and Beta glucan, which are all beneficial to the skin. The anti-oxidant component of this peel protects the skin from environmental damage from UV rays and free radicals. It works against the damage caused by the sun, pollution and cigarette smoke.

The Anti-Oxidant Peel:

· Enhances collagen production
· Improves skin texture
· Smooths fine lines
· Evens out darkened areas of the skin
· Reduces skin inflammation

BOTOX® BOTOX® treatments are a simple, safe, and effective way to improve facial expression lines (frown lines between the eyebrows, crow's feet at the outside corner of the eyes, forehead wrinkles), and muscle bands in the front of the neck. Many of these problems are hereditary and are all signs of aging.

Collagen Treatments Soft-tissue fillers, most commonly injectable collagen or fat, can help fill in these lines and creases, temporarily restoring a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance. When injected beneath the skin, collagen plumps up creased and sunken areas of the face. Collagen can also add fullness to the lips and cheeks.

Cool Glide Laser  Cool Glide Laser is used for the treatment of:

- Facial Blood Vessels
- Broken Leg Vessels
- Spider Veins
- Cherry Angiomas
- Laser Hair Removal

Cool Touch II Laser  The Cool Touch II Laser works by using a precise pulse of laser energy in conjunction with a cooling spray to enhance skin texture, minimize fine lines, improve skin imperfections and soften scars, This unique cooling system protects the outer layer of you skin. The laser stimulates cells called fibroblasts to produce natural collagen that is the foundation of the skin,

CosmoDerm  and  CosmoPlast Instantly smooth away lines, wrinkles, and scars (even acne scars) with just one quick visit to Board Certified Dermatologist, Debra Jaliman, MD's Manhattan office. Recovery time from CosmoDerm or CosmoPlast is short so you can easily sneak in a treatment during your lunch hour.

As one of the only FDA - approved commercially available derma facial filler made from human collagen, CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast offer some very important advantages including:

* Immediate treatment – no pre-treatment skin test required!
* Immediate Results
* Formulated with an anesthetic for comfort
* Treatment and recovery usually take less than one hour
* Treatment results last up to six months

Facial Fillers By far the most common site for facial filler augmentation is the lips; second would be the cheeks. Since more fat in the face provides a younger appearance, we often fill any line, wrinkle, groove, or hollow appearing spot on the face including acne scars, scars, nasal labial folds, and chicken pock scars.

There are a wide variety of injectable facial fillers on the market today. Out of any product category, injectable facial filler types are the most abundant. From bovine collagen to Restylane, to even semi-permanent injectable micro implants such as CosmoDerm. Injectable facial fillers are quick, effective and an inexpensive solution.

Injectable facial fillers are generally considered soft tissue augmentation materials. There are many categories which include temporary absorbable methods and permanent facial fillers.

Laser Hair Removal  Board Certified Dermatologist, Debra Jaliman, MD uses the Cool Glide Laser or the Lyra Laser for laser hair removal. These are the only laser hair removal system that can treat all skin types including dark Hispanic, Mediterranean, Black skin without discoloring the pigment, without destroying the pigment.

Lyra Laser The Lyra Laser is leading state of the art technology developed to treat vascular lesions and to remove unwanted hair. The Lyra Laser utilizes the longest available wavelength and an Extended Duration Pulse that provides optimal results with the least amount of patient discomfort and shortest recuperation time. It is a revolutionary treatment that is FDA approved for all skin type offering the unique ability to treat tanned and darker pigmented skin.

Medlite "C" Laser The Medlite Laser procedure offers patients the safest and least invasive way to effectively minimize the appearance of wrinkles and scars in any skin type.

Pigmented Lesion Removal with the Medlite™ Series of Medical Laser Systems

The Medlite lasers are commonly used for the removal of epidermal pigmented lesions such as brown age spots, "liver spots", freckles and many brown birthmarks. Usually, only 1 treatment is required for the majority of these lesions. Although more treatments are required, the laser can also greatly improve and often remove difficult dermal pigmented lesions such as Nevus of Ota and Mongolian Spots.

Polish Peel The Polish Peel uses a controlled spray of very fine, pure crystals, which gently polish the skin, as well as stimulate collagen production. Unlike other peel machines (such as Microdermabrasion), the Polish Peel is a gentle, non-aggressive suctioning machine, which will not affect the capillaries of the face. After the Polish Peel, an anti-aging cream will be applied that will deeply penetrate for increased effectiveness. Although peeling may not be visible, the peel is highly effective. The Polish Peel is a safe, non-surgical procedure that is effective for all skin types and doesn’t require a recuperation period.

Restylane  Restylane produces instant and long-lasting wrinkle correction.

Restylane is the first and only dermal filler in the U.S. composed of NASHA™ gel, Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. Restylane has been proven to give long-lasting correction of moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds. Results from restylane are immediate!

- Documented results that last six months, or even longer
- Excellent safety profile
- Over one million treatments worldwide
- No allergy testing required
- A simple, convenient procedure
- Restylane maintains its shape using the body's own moisture. So perhaps it's not surprising that the the most basic element of natural beauty, water, holds the key to the long-lasting benefits you can expect.

Scar Revision  Scars - whether they're caused by accidents or by surgery - are unpredictable. The way a scar develops depends as much on how your body heals as it does on the original injury or on the surgeon's skills. Many variables can affect the severity of scarring, including the size and depth of the wound, the blood supply to the area, the thickness and color of your skin, and the direction of the scar. How much the appearance of a scar bothers you is, of course, a personal matter.

While no scar can be removed completely, doctors can often improve the appearance of a scar, making it less obvious through the injection or application of certain steroid medications or through surgical procedures known as scar revisions.

Sclerotherapy  Sclerotherapy can easily and painlessly remove your unwanted spider veins.

What Is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a popular method of eliminating varicose veins and superficial telangiectasias (“spider veins”) in which a solution, called a “sclerosing agent,” is injected into the veins.

What Are Spider Veins?
These are the small, dilated veins seen frequently on the thighs, around the knees, on the calves, and around the ankles.

Tattoo Removal  There are several methods of tattoo removal which have proven effective. The degree of remaining color variations or blemishes depends upon several factors, including size, location, the individual's ability to heal, how the tattoo was applied and how long it has been in place. For example, a tattoo applied by a more experienced artist may be easier to remove since the pigment was evenly injected in the same level of the skin. New tattoos may also be more difficult to remove than old ones.

Today, lasers (Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation) have become the standard treatment for tattoo removal because they offer a bloodless, low risk, effective alternative with minimal side effects. Each procedure is done on an outpatient basis in a single or series of visits. Patients may or may not require topical or local anesthesia.

V-Beam Laser  The V-Beam Laser is used to treat the following conditions:

- Rosacea
- Hemangiomas
- Spider Angiomas
- Port Wine Stains
- Scars
- Keloids
- Striae
- Warts

The V-Beam Laser is also a non-ablative procedure used for photo rejuvenation and wrinkles.

How does the V-Beam Laser work?

The V-Beamlaser delivers an intense but gentle burst of light in long pulses to your skin. This unique, longer pulse delivers laser energy to targeted blood vessels over longer periods of time, resulting in a gentle heating effect and uniform coagulation.
