SOUTHLAKE, TX – December 20, 2012 – Southlake Dermatology, an award-winning provider of medical and cosmetic dermatology services in Southlake, Grapevine and Colleyville, is the first dermatology practice in Dallas Fort Worth to be supplied with Pliaglis®, a new topical anesthetic cream that makes cosmetic procedures pain-free.

Pliaglis is the first and only FDA-approved topical anesthetic cream that combines the highest concentrations of two powerful ingredients, lidocaine and tetracaine, which provides safe and effective local dermal anesthesia on intact skin prior to superficial dermatological procedures such as dermal filler injections, laser treatments, and chemical peels.

According to Angela Bowers-Plott, M.D., a board certified dermatologist and founder of Southlake Dermatology, what makes Pliaglis especially unique is its simple and comfortable application.

"The cream is applied to the skin for 20 to 30 minutes and after it dries, it is simply peeled away leaving the area numb. Because it conforms to the skin, it is ideal to anesthetize sensitive areas such as the eyelids, lips and the entire face," says Dr. Bowers-Plott, noting she participated in the clinical compound trials in 2002.

Pliaglis anesthetic cream was developed by Galderma Laboratories and is available for patients exclusively through offices of licensed medical professionals. For more information, call 817-251-6500 or go to www.southlakedermatology.com.
