Lanham, MD -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/02/2014 -- Dr. Nia Banks, Owner and Founder of Beaux Arts Institute of Plastic Surgery, has opened a MediSpa within the medical practice, offering patients laser treatments, injectables, and advanced skin care treatments.

Dr. Banks has recently added two lasers to her arsenal of weapons to combat the signs of aging: Cynosure’s Elite MPX and the ICON Palomar laser. The Elite MPX offers laser hair reduction treatments that are safe and quick for all skin types, with minimal discomfort. The Palomar ICON offers non-ablative fractional skin resurfacing; Photofacials (IPL) for sun damage, acne scarring and melasma; wrinkle reduction; as well as treatments for stretch marks, older scars and veins. If you are looking for treatments with the latest, most recent state-of-the-art technology, these laser treatments are for you.

“Non-surgical cosmetic treatments are in demand in our area,” explained Dr. Banks. “This is a nationwide trend that plastic surgeons have witnessed for more than a decade now.” According to a recent report by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser hair removal increased 6 percent last year, with a total surpassing 13 million treatments performed in 2012.

While a Botox injection or laser hair reduction treatment can be performed quickly and easily, there are considerable safety precautions that physicians must follow. “It’s wise to choose an experienced, licensed provider for your cosmetic treatment,” said Dr. Banks.

While Dr. Banks has extensive training and experience as a board-certified reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgeon, she has also received extensive training in minimally-invasive and non-invasive (non-surgical) aesthetic enhancement procedures and treatments. Dr. Banks has helped many patients achieve a more youthful and vibrant appearance through non-surgical aesthetic procedures.

The practice has also recently expanded, opening a 2nd office located at 12150 Annapolis Road in Glenn Dale (Bowie), MD. The enhanced MediSpa services will give patients the choice to undergo “lunch hour” treatments for a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
