Go to Dr. Handler’s website at drharveyhandler.com and scroll to the bottom. On the right you’ll find a link to your care. You will receive a diagnosis and treatment program within 24 hours.
What will the skin on your face, neck, chest, and hands reveal about you this spring? When you are enjoying yourself with friends and family, will the fine lines, brown spots (age spots), and sagging jowls and neck not portray your true age but make you appear tired and withered? Why not consider a painless and no-downtime cosmetic procedure to reduce your aging, sun-damaged, and sagging facial skin and eliminate brown spots? Allow Dr. Handler to evaluate and personally recommend a skin-rejuvenation program for you to reduce the signs of aging. Look as young as you feel when gathering with friends and family.
Whenever aged and spotted sun-damaged skin is discussed, the term used is rejuvenation. Wait! What about “pre-juvenation”? Prevent and reduce the signs of future aging and sun damage with a skin-care program designed for the Millennial and prior-tanning-booth generation. Be proactive before the lines and age spots appear. Speak with the staff at Dr. Handler’s office to inquire about specials for cosmetic procedures and topical products to reduce the signs of aging and fade and eliminate “age spots.”
Dr. Handler personally performs many anti-aging procedures that are “non-invasive” with minimal discomfort or downtime. You can minimize under-eye darkening, puffiness, and wrinkling, and raise those droopy eyelids, shrink pores, lift sagging jowl areas, and appear as youthful as you feel. Call Dr. Handler’s office for a personal evaluation with treatment recommendations designed specifically for your aging skin.
Remember, 80% of the signs of aging are due to prior sun exposure and subsequent skin damage. All the brown spots (“age spots”), broken blood vessels on the face, fine lines, and sagging skin are caused almost entirely by sun! This is something young people should be aware of since we get 80% of our lifetime sun exposure by the time we are 18-20 years of age.
What about the “worry lines” between your eyes, deep smile lines, upper lip lines (lipstick “runs uphill”), and your sagging jowls and neck? These unfortunate changes caused by prior sun exposure and aging can be improved dramatically with pain-free, non-invasive cosmetic procedures performed entirely by Dr. Handler.
The NEW Thermage CPT Deep Tip procedure painlessly heats damaged collagen under your skin to tighten and lift sagging areas of the neck, jowls, and upper arms, as well as wrinkling of the skin on the abdomen and thighs. The NEW Thermage CPT Deep Tip procedure utilizes radiofrequency energy (not laser). This procedure also encourages a natural repair process that results in further tightening, lifting, and younger-looking skin. With only ONE treatment, results are seen before leaving the office. Continued tightening and lifting of sagging skin occurs over a 6-month time period with results lasting up to 3-4 years! There is NO downtime and NO pain. The NEW Thermage CPT Deep Tip system has been utilized by Dr. Handler for many years with excellent results and very satisfied patients.
For lines between the eyes (worry lines, 11’s, ski slopes), crow’s feet, and the “sleepy and tired look with droopy eyelids,” the use of Botox or Dysport works well to improve these areas. The results are diminished lines and a more “wide-awake” and less tired appearance. One treatment can last 7-12 months! EXCESSIVE UNDERARM SWEATING?
Most cosmetically-oriented patients know that Botox and Dysport are used to reduce the signs of aging. However, Dr. Handler has utilized these products over many years for excessive sweating of the underarms. This excess sweating is known as hyperhidrosis and is associated with embarrassment and anxiety. Most patients require injections twice a year to reduce sweating 80% or more! The procedure is associated with minimal pain and no downtime.
The use of fillers, such as Restylane, Restylane Lyft, Juvederm, Radiesse, and others, to “fill” deep smile lines and the marionette lines (the sad look) from the corners of the mouth produces immediate results lasting 12-15 months! Don’t look tired or sad when you are not! Since these products are combined with a numbing agent, the pain is minimal. Now, Dr. Handler utilizes the injection of new fillers called “Restylane Silk” and “Restylane Refyne and Defyne.” These products markedly improve upper and lower lip lines (lipstick lines). Restylane Silk and Kysse also volumize your lips and restore their natural curve while looking attractive and natural. There is no downtime with these noninvasive procedures. These products also improve the depression and hollowness under your eyes that causes darkening to be much less obvious.
Do you want to reduce fine lines, acne scars, and age spots (brown spots from sun exposure) and shrink pores? Then the non-invasive Clear and Brilliant laser is for you. When the Clear and Brilliant laser is combined with Thermage CPT Deep Tip, the results are ideal for patients who desire no downtime or pain and predictable results of lifting sagging skin and smoothing fine lines. Dr. Handler is the only dermatologist in northwest Ohio performing this procedure.
Are you aware that Dr. Handler personally performs laser procedures for removal of body hair anywhere hair grows? Yes, this minimally painful laser destroys hairs around the chin, jawline, upper lip, underarms, ears, nose, bikini line, etc. Many women are having laser hair removal at a younger age and eliminating the need for shaving, cuts, and irritation. And this laser is not just for women. Many men have this laser performed to permanently remove chest and back hair as well as beard hair that grows down onto the neck.
Dr. Handler also utilizes the latest in lasers for removal of “age spots” (sun spots really) anywhere on the body. This laser works especially well for the tops of hands covered with those “age spots.” Finally, Dr. Handler also performs laser removal of unwanted blood vessels that grow on your face and enlarge with heat, stress, and the intake of alcohol. Again, pain and downtime are minimal with this laser.
Anti-aging and cosmetic enhancements are not for any specific gender. Male cosmetic enhancement and anti-aging procedures have increased almost 300% in the past 5 years for sagging skin, darkening under the eyes with the “hollow” look, and brown spots. The utilization of fillers, such as Restylane and its family of fillers, Juvederm, Radiesse, etc., is excellent for deep smile lines and the “sad and tired look” as evidenced with sagging at the corners of the mouth, hollow cheeks, and aging of the hands. And, of course, the use of Dysport/Botox to reduce forehead “worry lines” is superb.
All of these cosmetic enhancements are performed entirely by Dr. Handler.

Also, remember to inquire about special pricing available on many cosmetic procedures and products to diminish the signs of aging and obtain a more vibrant and youthful appearance of your skin. Look as young as you feel. HAIR LOSS IN MEN AND WOMEN
Are you losing hair from surgery, anesthesia, illnesses, pregnancy, medications, stress, genetics, or “normal” hair loss secondary to aging or low blood levels of nutrients? There are many causes of hair loss in men and women. Most are not simply due to age or family history, and most are treatable. Now these problems of hair loss can be evaluated and there is hope for reducing your hair loss and stimulating new growth. Dr. Harvey Handler, board-certified dermatologist in Sylvania, Ohio, utilizes proven medical treatments for decreasing your hair loss and increasing growth in many patients!
Pediatric skin disease diagnosis and treatment is one of Dr. Handler’s special fields in general Dermatology. Age of the child is not relevant since Dr. Handler diagnoses and treats eczema, hemangiomas, contact and allergic dermatitis, and general “lumps and bumps” that children and infants develop. What about “birth marks,” scalp and body “ringworm,” body and head lice, scabies, psoriasis? If there is a lesion or spot on the skin, Dr. Handler is trained to examine, diagnose, and treat appropriately.
Also, everyone should have a yearly full body exam to check for skin cancer, changing moles, and new growths that develop on our bodies. This comprehensive exam should be conducted solely by a board-certified dermatologist.
