PROCEDURES PROVIDED
Thermalift by Thermage, Inc.
Thermalift is a recent FDA approved technology that tightens tissue without surgery. The procedure uses a unique form of radio frequency energy to cause collagen contraction followed by new, young, fresh collagen production. Collagen is the structural framework of the skin, which supports its structure. Over time collagen becomes depleted and or damaged by the sun or other environmental factors. The result is visible signs of aging skin. The technologically advanced radio frequency technique causes immediate collagen regeneration. The result is tighter skin and a more youthful appearance.
Intense Pulsed Light by Quantum
Photorejuvenation refers to the flash of an intense pulsed light on targeted skin. This is a light not a laser. There is no radiation. Intense Pulsed Light has many wavelengths that are emitted simultaneously. Anything red and anything brown can be treated: Rosacea, broken blood vessels, capillaries, diffuse redness of the face, melasma, age spots, sun spots, freckles, general pigmentation. There is virtually no downtime and the procedure is extremely safe. It is performed while you are awake in the office.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical approach to the treatment of varicose and spider veins of the legs. A sclerosing solution is injected directly into the unwanted vein, causing it to quickly disappear. Each vein may require several injections. The larger veins are usually treated first. A number of veins may be injected in anyone treatment session.
Botox Cosmetic̉
The newest FDA approved substance in 2002 for the treatment of wrinkles. Botox Cosmetic̉ prevents wrinkles by preventing frowning and squinting through a mechanism of muscle inactivation. When Botox Cosmetic̉ is injected into a muscle, it blocks the release of the chemical that transmits nerve signals to help the muscle contract. Wrinkles them smooth out from disuse of the muscle.
Restylane
Restylane is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. Restylane is the first and only cosmetic dermal filler made of non-animal based hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin.
Laser Hair Removal
The Lightsheer Diode Laser targets the pigment in the hair, thus delivering energy into the hair follicle and damaging its ability to reproduce new hairs. Since not all hair follicles are actively growing at the same time, it will take an average of four to six treatments to cause permanent hair reduction. We can effectively and safely treat hair in all skin types and most areas can be treated quickly in five to thirty minutes.
Laser Tattoo Removal
WHAT WAS I THINKING? You may ask yourself that after you have your “true loves” name on your arm and you are no longer with that love. Tattoos once meant a lifetime commitment. Not today, thanks to state of the art laser technology.
Most tattoos can be removed in our medical office safely without leaving a scar. Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive procedure, which targets only the ink in the tattoo. Most average size tattoos can be done in thirty minutes or less. Removal for professional tattoos takes an average of six to ten treatments and these appointments are spaced about six to ten weeks apart.
So if you are not in love with your tattoo, birthmark or age spots, consider them history after this high tech treatment.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is the most natural way to evenly safely exfoliate the skin without chemicals or laser treatment. Microdermabrasion utilizes the aluminum oxide crystals to gently resurface the superficial layers of the skin. When a more aggressive treatment is necessary, the vacuum pressure can be increased to evenly penetrate deeper layers of the skin. MegaPeel microdermabrasion treatments can be customized to suit your specific skincare needs.
MegaPeel microdermabrasion is right for all skin types and anyone interested in minimizing the appearance of scarring, fine lines, pigmentation problems, acne scarring, uneven skin tones, dull, lifeless and sun-damaged skin.
With a series of MegaPeel customized microdermabrasion treatments, you can achieve more beautiful skin without pain and irritation. The MegaPeel program incorporates the most advanced microdermabrasion technology for maximum results.
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is a procedure that rejuvenates skin. It is a controlled removal of surface skin cells that leads to new and improved skin appearance, tone and texture. A series of peels performed every four to six weeks gives optimal results.
