At Chester Skin & Wellness in Chester Township, NJ, we often get asked: “What’s the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?” While both are injectable treatments designed to reduce signs of aging, they work in very different ways. Dr. Deborah Petrowsky offers both services and customizes each treatment plan to meet your specific aesthetic goals.

Here’s how Botox and fillers compare:

Purpose:
-Botox: Smooths dynamic wrinkles caused by facial muscle movement.
-Fillers: Restores lost volume and enhances facial contours.
Common treatment areas:
-Botox: Forehead lines, frown lines (glabellar lines), and crow’s feet.
-Fillers: Cheeks, lips, smile lines, under-eye hollows, and jawline.
How they work:
-Botox: Temporarily relaxes the muscles to reduce wrinkle formation.
-Fillers: Add volume beneath the skin to plump and lift.
Results:
-Botox: Subtle smoothing effect, visible in a few days, lasts 3–4 months.
-Fillers: Immediate results with longer-lasting effects, usually 6–12 months.
Texture and mobility:
-Botox: Does not affect skin volume or texture.
-Fillers: Enhances fullness and can reshape certain features.

Dr. Petrowsky uses her medical expertise to determine which approach—or combination—is best for your facial structure and desired look. Whether you're concerned about expression lines, volume loss, or both, we offer targeted treatments that keep you looking natural, refreshed, and confident.

-Eyebrow lift: Subtly elevates the brows to create a more open, refreshed appearance.

Laser Hair Removal and Skin Hydration Support

At Chester Skin & Wellness in Chester Township, NJ, Dr. Deborah Petrowsky delivers laser hair removal that not only removes unwanted hair but also prioritizes the long-term health of your skin—especially its natural barrier and hydration levels.

Laser hair removal works by targeting hair follicles with controlled heat energy. While highly effective, this process can temporarily affect the skin’s moisture barrier, particularly in more sensitive areas like the face, underarms, and bikini line. Some clients notice mild dryness or tightness post-treatment, which is completely normal and manageable with the right care.

To support the skin’s barrier and retain moisture after your laser session, we recommend:

-Applying a lightweight, fragrance-free moisturizer immediately after treatment
-Using hyaluronic acid serums to boost hydration without clogging pores
-Avoiding hot showers and harsh exfoliants for 48 hours post-treatment
-Wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect the treated area from UV stress

Dr. Petrowsky will guide you through a personalized aftercare routine based on your skin type and treatment area. With expert care and proper hydration strategies, your skin will stay smooth, balanced, and radiant—while staying hair-free longer.

At Chester Skin & Wellness, comfort and skin health go hand in hand with every laser treatment.

At Chester Skin & Wellness in Chester Township, NJ, Dr. Deborah Petrowsky specializes in laser hair removal that’s tailored—not just treated. If you're frustrated with thick or dense hair growth in areas like the bikini line or underarms, a customized laser approach can make all the difference.

Laser hair removal isn’t just about total removal—it can also be used to reduce density and soften regrowth where needed. For clients who want to thin out coarse patches rather than eliminate all hair, we adjust the laser’s intensity and number of sessions to target just the right amount.

Benefits of customized laser treatments include:

-Controlled reduction of hair volume in specific areas
-Smoother skin texture and fewer ingrown hairs
-Less irritation compared to shaving or waxing

Dr. Petrowsky carefully evaluates skin tone, hair type, and treatment goals during every consultation. Whether you’re aiming for a cleaner bikini line or lighter underarm growth, our technology and expertise ensure safe, natural-looking results.

Personalized care leads to better outcomes. Let us help you refine—not just remove—with laser treatments designed just for your skin and hair type.

Laser Hair Removal and Acupuncture—Can They Work Together?

At Chester Skin & Wellness in Chester Township, NJ, Dr. Deborah Petrowsky offers laser hair removal treatments that pair safely with holistic therapies like facial acupuncture and acupressure.

If you're using acupuncture or acupressure for relaxation or skin rejuvenation, you can still benefit from laser hair removal with just a few key precautions:

-Schedule treatments about a week apart to avoid skin overstimulation.
-Let us know your full routine so we can adjust your laser settings safely.
-Use gentle skincare and sun protection after your sessions.

Laser hair removal targets hair follicles, while acupuncture supports circulation and skin tone—together, they can enhance your overall results when timed and performed correctly.

Want to experience smooth, clear skin without interrupting your wellness routine? Dr. Petrowsky will guide you through a custom plan that keeps both approaches in sync.
