Clinical Skin Care TREATMENTS

This fractional approach is the first cosmetic laser to provide an effective procedure that creates new healthy tissue by stimulating the body to naturally repair aging and photo damage skin without significant risk or recovery time.

This procedure is performed in our office using topical anesthesia. The treatment itself takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. The skin will be red for 3-5 days and the patient will experience swelling for about 2-3 days. For optimal improvement, a series of 3-5 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart has been shown to be most effective. Results are progressive, with noticeable effects over 3-6 months.

Intense Pulsed Light also known as Photo rejuvenation is a safe easy way to improve red complexions, irregular pigmentation, facial vessels, and enlarged pores with very little to no downtime. It is designed to combat the effects of aging and damaged skin in a non-invasive manner. It is a non-ablative process that does not wound the surface of the skin and can be tailored to your individual skin condition and skin type. It is especially effective for improving the appearance of the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands.

The best candidates for IPL /Photo rejuvenation are patients who desire to improve multiple imperfections to their skin; people who suffer from rosacea and experience flushing and redness; people with early aging and sun damage and people with enlarged pores and unsightly small spider veins.

We use the Venus Velocity, which is a state-of-the-art hair removal system developed to remove unwanted hair, while minimizing skin complications common with other previously available laser hair removal. This laser technique is engineered to eliminate unwanted hair easily and quickly without the hassles related to shaving, waxing, chemical depilation, or electrolysis. The Light Sheer laser beam targets and destroys the pigment located in the hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin thus significantly decreasing the hairs’ ability to re-grow.

However because hair grows in many different phases it may require multiple treatments to reduce hair growth.
Patients generally require 4–6 treatments according to skin type and area of treatment. The ideal candidates for these treatments are those with dark course hair and no tan. During your initial consultation our nurse will determine your skin type and evaluate the desired hair to be treated.

Underarm sweat is a problem for millions of people. It’s not only embarrassing, it can ruin your clothes and make you feel uncomfortable at work, on a date, at a party, or in public. Luckily, you don’t have to deal with underarm sweat any longer thanks to miraDry®. The revolutionary miraDry® treatment reduces perspiration at the source by destroying underarm sweat glands—and it is the only non-invasive treatment that is proven to work.

miraDry® is FDA-cleared and CE marked, and the treatment is done in the comfort of your doctor’s office.
miraDry® is simple: just three easy steps. The underarm area is 1) marked, 2) numbed, and 3) treated with miraDry®. And it only takes about one hour. miraDry® uses energy that targets and destroys the sweat and odor glands in your underarm. Once those glands are destroyed they do not grow back. It’s quick, pain-free, and effective.

Lite Chemical Peels, these are selected according to skin type and condition being treated. There is no recovery time, and patients return to their normal color by the next day. Some patients experience a slight amount of flaking two days after the chemical is applied, and this usually lasts about 2-3 days. These treatments will help reduce the depth for surface lines, smooth out rough skin texture, help fade brown spots, and assist in clearing acne/blemished skin.

Microdermabrasion is a technique of aggressive mechanical exfoliation. This process uses a fine spray of specially designed crystals to remove the most superficial layer of the skin. This will immediately create a much softer and smoother skin surface with no down time. Serial treatments have been shown to be effective in decreasing the appearance of fine lines and acne scarring. Your results can be significantly enhanced by combining microdermabrasion with a skin care regimen and/or IPL treatments.

Photodynamic Therapy is a light treatment performed with a topical photosensitizing agent called Levulan (aminolevulinic acid). This therapy is used to treat pre-cancerous lesions called actinic keratosis, sun damage, and pigmentation from sun damage. It is also used to reduce oil production from oil glands which help with acne breakouts. Most people obtain good results with one to three treatments but may require more treatments to obtain desired results.

We have had excellent success treating spider veins of the legs with the injection of sclerosing agents. We are able to treat small to medium sized veins in the office the day of your consult if you desire. There is minimal discomfort associated with the procedure, however, you will have swelling and redness over the treated areas that lasts about 24 hours.

There may be some bruising, and rarely blistering, that will resolve in a week to ten days. 3-4cc of the solution can be injected in a single session, which allows treatment of fairly extensive areas. We request that you wear a compression hose for the 48 hours after the treatment for the best results. Additional treatments can be performed at four to six week intervals. For further information, please call the office or complete our contact form.

The application of permanent makeup is performed by your surgeon in our office facility with topical anesthesia or topical anesthesia with sedation. Temporary swelling, bruising and crusting may be experienced, but is very short lived. If you have any history of fever blisters and are undergoing any procedures involving the lips, you will be treated with medication to prevent and outbreak in the post-operative period.
