The Connecticut Skin Institute, a renowned medical facility in Stamford, CT specializing in skin cancer laser and non-invasive cosmetic Surgery, was founded by its medical director and leading dermatologist, Dr. Omar Ibrahimi. Wrinkles and other facial blemishes that stem from the inevitable forces of aging are among the top complaints of patients seeking rejuvenating non-invasive procedures with Dr. Omar Ibrahimi . These complaints may now be treated with injectable dermal fillers. Fillers ease the signs of aging by re-inflating aging skin which loses its youthful volume. This results in a plumper, younger, and healthier appearance with minimal side effects, downtime or safety concerns.
