Our leading principle is to empower you with the knowledge to make the right decisions about your beauty needs.

Philosophy

Delivering clinical results that enhance natural beauty, board-certified oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Irene Gladstein also aims to boost her patients’ self-esteem. “With the advent of new makeup techniques and products, the game is on when it comes to producing amazing, contoured and long-lasting outcomes with nonsurgical aesthetic modalities,” she says. “We are proud to offer our signature, innovative, nonsurgical facial contouring ‘THE ENHANCERS Contour®’ using a proprietary combination of collagen stimulants, hyaluronic acid fillers and neurotoxins. We have one goal in mind: to produce unparalleled balance and harmony that will beautify, refresh and enhance.”

About My Practice

What makes your practice distinct?

Our goal is not to change our patients’ features, but to enhance and preserve their natural beauty. We offer a holistic experience that incorporates an understanding of their lifestyle, health and skin-care regimens.

How do you best educate your patients?

This specialty unifies my affinity for artistic expression with science. It allows me to perform demanding, intricate procedures that require superb clinical and surgical skills with knowledge, artistic vision and an eye for natural results.

What are your most requested procedures?

Our practice specializes in eyelid surgery. I have honed my skills in achieving natural and long-lasting results. Equally popular are “liquid facelifts,” combining different injectables to recreate natural-looking facial contours for a refreshed and rested appearance.

What is your philosophy?

We create more youthful and refreshed faces without changing them. I believe in delivering clinical results, empowering our patients with knowledge to help them navigate the vast aesthetic terrain and dispelling commonly perpetuated myths to be sure they are fully-informed about their options. We take pride in tailoring each treatment to fit each patient’s needs, wants and budgetary considerations.

A Minute With

What sets my practice apart

We empower our patients by educating them about their treatment options. We integrate the latest, most cutting-edge nonsurgical modalities, like our ‘Vampire Viva’ procedure, and combine them with advanced eyelid surgery techniques to produce lasting results
My motto

Be the best at what you do, then do it better
The most outrageous medical myth i’ve heard

Procrastinating before embarking on nonsurgical procedures such as Botox, skin-care protocols or skin-tightening treatments. We educate our patients about which skin-care regimens are appropriate for them
My most unique personality traits

I’m warm and compassionate and will often discourage patients from procedures or treatments that I feel are excessive or unnecessary
The perfect time to consider eyelid rejuvenation

The thinnest skin on our bodies is the skin around our eyes. Eyelid rejuvenation starts with prevention and maintenance. Treat this delicate area with sun protection, gentle exfoliation and hydration. Initiating
the appropriate measures early on will prevent wrinkles from forming
How i make the best first impression

My patients tell me that our approach to aesthetics is different from what they’ve encountered elsewhere. We listen, make sure our patients are thoroughly informed and hold their hands every step of the way
My definition of beauty

Every face is beautiful to me. We enhance our patients’ unique features by creating facial harmony and balance rather than augmented looks
Why i chose my field

I am a perfectionist by nature and the surgical approach to the eyelids requires extreme precision and unparalleled skill. It allows me to integrate the latest technological breakthroughs with highly advanced techniques; a combination that yields the best results
What are you best known for?

My associates and I are best known
for amazingly natural, long-lasting
results, cutting-edge techniques and
a minimalistic approach. We take our
time to provide patients with detailed
consultations and always make our
recommendations by focusing on
facial harmony and balance
What are your most requested procedures?

Our demand for facial contouring
has skyrocketed as patients are
seeking the most natural-looking
results with no downtime. As one
of the top Sculptra Aesthetic and
Allergan family of products injectors
in the country, my approach is that
of a sculptor. My patients love their
long-lasting, rejuvenated results
Why do you employ a less-is-more philosophy?

The results I’m able to achieve are my
pride and joy. I combine my passion
for art with an ability to enhance
beauty without looking “done”
What new trends are you seeing at your practice?

We see a lot of younger, wellinformed
and social media–savvy
patients who understand the value
of prevention rather than age-related
change—we call it “preventative
aging.” Millennials want to make
sure age-related changes never set
in. They also want to contour and
shape their faces and bodies to look
and feel their very best, whether for
professional or social reasons
Three words that best describe me

Detail-oriented, patient, perfectionist
Celeb photos my patients most often bring in

I often tell my patients that trying to
look like a celebrity sets up unrealistic
expectations. We help patients look
like a rested, rejuvenated version of
themselves rather than someone else
What new services are you excited to offer?

As a top cosmetic injector, I have
the privilege of introducing new
technologies through clinical
studies. Our current favorite
treatment is cannula-only
under-eye contouring
