Say “goodbye” to lines and wrinkles and “hello” to the Gold Standard of non-surgical skin tightening and lifting treatments! Ultherapy was designed with youthful skin in mind. Using high intensity ultrasound heat, this treatment is able to lift and firm the brow, neck, chin, and chest. This treatment is FDA cleared as a noninvasive alternative to facial surgery! You can achieve natural-looking results with no downtime by stimulating your body’s own collagen and elastin production. Amazing outcomes can be achieved over a period of 3-6 months, and this treatment can be boosted when used in conjunction with dysport, fillers, Silhouette Instalift, Coolsculpting, or can be used to maintain surgical results long term! This is a truly incredible treatment. Find out if this treatment is right for you!

Face Smooth

Dealing with facial skin laxity can be tough; let us make it easy! FaceSmooth utilizes radio frequency heat to blast and shrink collagen and form new collagen that helps to smooth and firm the skin. This treatment, purchased as a series, is painless with no downtime and feels like a hot massage! It takes about 3 -6 months to see full results, and we recommend a maintenance treatment anytime between nine to 12 months for longer lasting improvement.

Say hello to our non-surgical answer for those of us who aren’t quite ready for a face lift! This is the only FDA approved minimally invasive procedure for lifting the mid-face and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. The procedure is a gentle repositioning of facial fat tissue while improving facial volume and skin quality gradually. There is minimal downtime and recovery, too, with results that last up to 2 years. This micro-suspension technology is able to keep sagging skin in an elevated position with absorbable sutures that stimulate collagen production. This gives you a firm, sculpted, supple appearance; a nice outcome for the right candidate without having to undergo surgery.

Wrinkles, crepeness, and sagging skin, oh my! Venus Freeze™ is a nonsurgical option, with zero downtime, to kiss the effects of aging goodbye. This treatment uses dual-technology of Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields to heat up tissue under the skin and trigger the production of collagen and elastin fibers. Skin appears tighter, smoother, and more youthful. Let your skin work for you! We recommend 6 treatments, spaced one week apart, with quarterly maintenance treatments for best results!

Got scars? How about stretch marks, rosacea, enlarged pores, deep wrinkles, crepey skin and uneven skin texture and pigmentation? Your answer could be Venus Viva™, aka Microneedling RF. This resurfacing treatment can handle just about anything you throw at it. Tiny pin pricks are administered with heat (via NanoFractional Radio Frequency) to create microscopic wounds. Sounds painful? It’s not! This just triggers your body’s natural healing response which in turn repairs any damage on the surface of the skin. You may experience some redness for up to 3 days after the treatment, as your skin heals. We recommend 3 treatments, four to six weeks apart for best results!

Are you interested in a minimally invasive, non-scarring, discrete improvement in your skin with results that last up to 2 years with minimal downtime? Consider Thermitight! This in-office procedure is an effective way to combat aging skin for those who aren’t quite ready for surgery. We use a radiofrequency energy probe to heat up the skin beneath the surface. Heat causes the tissue to stimulate collagen and elastin production and shrink connective tissue which pulls the skin tighter and reduces the size of stubborn fat pockets while improving skin laxity. We can do this procedure virtually anywhere! Treatment areas include lower face and neck, breasts, arms, abdomen, knees, and thighs. What’s better? It only takes one session!

ThermiSmooth Eyes and Lips

Laxity got you down? Drooping of the eyes and lips is natural and is likely to happen as we age. Luckily, we can fight gravity with ThermiSmooth! This treatment uses radio frequency to heat up the skin and produce new collagen to tighten and plump areas that would otherwise fall flat. This can improve the appearance of bags, crows feet, and wrinkles around eyes, as well as perioral lines and wrinkles around the mouth! This is a painless procedure with results that last up to a year and can be paired with any skin rejuvenation treatment.

Tired eyes? Wake them up with an Ulthera mini treatment designed to lift and tighten around the eyes. Ultrasound energy and heat are delivered with high intensity into the skin stimulating the body’s collagen and elastin production. This is an FDA approved, non-invasive treatment for the upper half of the face. What does that mean? You can kiss lines and wrinkles around the eyes goodbye! Oh, and it can help to lift the brow. That’s a two-for one! This treatment delivers natural results that last up to two years, all without surgery, and works very well in conjunction with fillers and dysport!

Age causes sagging skin, a loss of definition in the features, a reduction in fat volume, and lowered self-confidence in one’s appearance. The PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that can provide instant improvement in the skin’s texture while simultaneously boosting collagen production for a smoother, firmer complexion.

Sofwave is an innovative technology for combating skin laxity through the use of cutting-edge ultrasound energy. The device can help to stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin firmness and vitality from within. If you are interested in looking more youthful and refreshed without undergoing invasive surgery, Sofwave may be an ideal option for accomplishing your unique cosmetic goals.

WE ARE EXCITED TO WELCOME YOU BACK TO FECHNER MD!

On behalf of the entire team at Fechner MD Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa, we would like to take a moment to say thank you again for your loyalty and support during this unprecedented time. The past several months have been unlike anything we've ever experienced, and we're working hard to evolve so that we can continue to provide you with the patient experience you have come to expect from our practice.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic, Fechner MD Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa has taken extreme precautionary measures, in addition to following the most up to date CDC recommendations and state guidelines to maximize the health and safety of our patients, staff and facility. Our surgical center and medical spa remain committed to providing the best patient care, and we are actively working to take all necessary precautions as we plan to safely re-open our practice. Please help us continue to protect the health and well-being of our patients and workplace by cooperating with all of our precautionary measures and protocols against COVID-19 at your next appointment, or as you plan for your surgery.

 

WHAT ARE WE DOING TO KEEP YOU AND OUR STAFF SAFE?

As a fully accredited surgical facility, Fechner MD has always observed the highest level of safety and sanitation. In fact, as a surgeon, Dr. Fechner is an expert in infection control. We want to ensure that we are doing everything possible for our patients to safely return for surgical and medical spa treatments alike.

  • Our accredited practice is exclusively reserved for our patients and staff.
  • Our facility is in a single, free standing building only occupied by our practice. This allows us to limit foot traffic to our patients and staff only.
  • Our staff work only at our facility and all travel in private transport. All of us are otherwise self-isolating at home.
  • We closely monitor our staff for symptoms and elevated temperature daily.
  • We sterilize all our instruments in house further reducing potential exposure.
  • We have PPE to meet our needs.
  • All our staff members will be using appropriate PPE including N95 masks and protective facei shields, goggles and head coverings.
  • We have purchased and installed air scrubbers throughout the facility to clean the air while the practice is open to patients.
  • We have purchased and installed ozone generators designed to sanitize the air in the facility at the end of each day.
  • We have purchased and installed touchless hand sanitizer units throughout the building.

The upgraded work flow and safety protocols we have implemented at Fechner MD far exceed those being recommended by any government agency.

 

WHEN WILL FECHNER MD PLASTIC SURGERY & MEDICAL SPA OPEN?

Fechner MD will adhere to all local, state, and government mandates. We expect to cautiously resume medical spa and injectable treatments during Phase 2 of the Massachusetts phased reopening. We are awaiting a definitive date from Governor Baker. Cosmetic surgery is expected to resume during Phase 3 of Governor Baker’s plan. We ask for your patience and understanding as our staff is working diligently to reschedule all surgeries and procedures affected by our closure. Please understand that in order to open and adhere to Massachusetts guidelines, we will need to limit the number of staff and patients we have in our building and extend the time between patient appointments in order to sanitize rooms. This means we will have fewer available openings for procedures. In order to maximize our provider appointments, we will continue to hold consultations virtually rather than in person, with a few exceptions (body contouring, Instalift, vein treatments).
