Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion combines a stream of pure crystals delivered to the outer layers of the skin and a vacuum to increase circulation. As damaged skin cells are lifted away from the skin surface, new cell production is stimulated at the base layers of the skin. The skin will gradually appear smoother, firmer and more radiant.

Hydroxy-acid is added too medical microdermabrasion. Our most agressive no-downtime procedure.

BOTOX^®

Botox injections injection therapy is the fastest-growing cosmetic procedure in the industry, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). In 2001, more than 1.6 million people received injections, an increase of 46 percent over the previous year. More popular than breast enhancement surgery and a potential blockbuster, Botox is regarded by some as the ultimate fountain of youth.

Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox Cosmetic) is a protein complex produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which contains the same toxin that causes food poisoning. When used in a medical setting as an injectable form of sterile, purified botulinum toxin, small doses block the release of a chemical called acetylcholine by nerve cells that signal muscle contraction. By selectively interfering with the underlying muscles' ability to contract, existing frown lines are smoothed out and, in most cases, are nearly invisible in a week.

Injectible Fillers

Hyaluronic acid

Restylane® consists of injectable hyaluronic acid. This substance is identical to the support proteins in the human skin. Restylane can be used to fill creases and fine lines around the lips, mouth, and eyes. Because this is a human protein, no test dosing is required. Restylane also lasts longer that collagen.

Spider Vein Therapy

Spiders are those ugly, dark blue little veins that run up and down the legs resembling lines on a road map.  Sometimes spiders group themselves into nasty little star burst patterns that pop out where they are least wanted!  Sometimes they fan out along the outside of the thigh or the inner aspect of the lower leg.  Often they gather around the ankles or behind the knees.  

A special saline solution is injected or lasers are used to fade these veins. Facial veins are effectively managed with a laser.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair reduction is a safe, effective, and comfortable way to reduce unwanted facial and body hair for extended periods of time. Areas such as armpits, the bikini area, face, legs, and back can all be treated with much more effectiveness and comfort as compared to plucking or waxing.

Although the best results are achieved after several treatments, immediate results can be seen even after the first treatment. With the hair reduction lasers, light energy is used to target the skin structures that make hair, and as a result, fewer hair follicles grow back, and the ones that do, are finer and less visible. By using a specific wavelength, the hair follicle can be affected without damage to the surrounding skin.

We perform laser hair removal in our office using the Coherent Light Sheer Diode Laser. The cool tip design reduces discomfort.

Versapulse Laser Therapy

The Versapulse Laser actually consists of 4 separate laser heads. The laser can be used in the treatment of vascular lesions such as telangiectasias (red facial blood vessels), port wine stains, cherry spots and spider veins, age spots, freckles and tattoos.
