Botox is a medication that is injected into the skin to relax muscle movements and prevent wrinkles. The treatment is very fast with some discomfort. Botox can last 3 to 4 months on average. Some side effects include injection discomfort, swelling, bruising, and eyebrow drooping.
CoolSculpting for
outer thigh fat
A new CoolSculpting handpiece called the CoolSmooth is now available for treating the stubborn fat of the outer thighs. There is no suction with this handpiece which makes it different from the traditional CoolSculpting handpiece. This reduces the possibility of bruising and tenderness. However, it is a four hour procedure, two hours for each thigh and some individuals will need to repeat this treatment a second time, depending on the amount of fat present. Results can take 2 to 3 months to show.
CoolSculpting for the Lower Abdomen
CoolSculpting is the new, cool way to get rid of unwanted fat. The treatment works by cooling the fat to a low temperature that permanently kills fat cells. The nearby skin, blood vessels, and nerves are not affected. As long as you keep a healthy weight, exercise, and eat well, the fat cells are permanently gone.
CoolSculpting treatment to the love handles for Men
Coolsculpting is a noninvasive treatment to permanently freeze away fat bulges that won't go away with regular diet and exercise. There are no needles, anesthesia, or scars involved.
Unlike a lot of other procedures, CoolSculpting takes very little time and is pretty simple to fit into your daily life. After your CoolSculpting treatment you can typically get right back to your busy day. Each treatment lasts one hour – the same time you might spend at the gym. So you can easily fit your appointment into a lunch break
Dysport for wrinkles between the eyebrows
Dysport is a medication that is injected into the skin to relax muscles and to prevent fine lines and wrinkles. It works the same way as Botox and lasts for about the same amount of time. Common side effects are injection site reactions, swelling, bruising, and drooping of the brow.
Fillers to Maintain Your Beauty
It's really important to maintain your beauty and to start an antiaging routine in your 20's. Our natural collagen, which keeps our skin youthful and plump, begins to decrease in our 30s. We don't really see the effects until we are in our 50s but by then, the fat pads in our face have lost more than 50% of its volume and we will need many more syringes of fillers to augment that loss.
Fractional resurfacing laser for treating Melasma
Melasma is a very difficult skin condition to treat. It's cause is multifactorial. It can be caused by hormones, your medication, sun exposure, and genetics. While there is no cure for melasma, there are many effective treatment options to keep the symptoms under control. In addition to chemical peels and hydroquinone creams, the fractional resurfacing laser is another tool to help with melasma. The laser destroys columns of the pigmented, damaged skin and the new skin heals with healthy, non-pigmented skin. This is a monthly treatment that should be used in conjunction with in-office chemical peels, hydroquinone creams, and strict sun avoidance.
Laser Hair Removal/Reduction for a Man's back
The laser hair removal technology has been around for over a decade. Our Palomar Icon device provides fast effective treatments with minimal downtime. You will need a minimum of six treatments at one to two month intervals.
Laser Leg Vein Treatments
Unwanted leg veins can be a thing of the past with laser leg vein therapy and sclerotherapy. We offer both treatments at our office. The thinner vessels can be treated with the 1640 laser handpiece and larger ones are more appropriately treated with sclerotherapy (unless the vessels are really thick and best left to the vascular surgeons). You may need one to three treatments to specific vessels and they are every two months. Leg veins are genetic and new vessels can appear after your treatments.
Laser leg veins
The Palomar laser 1064 handpiece is an effective way to treat unsightly leg veins. Treatments are once every two months. Some veins may need two to three treatments. The vessels can return in the following years due to inheritance, pregnancy, and trauma. It is very important to stay out of the sun during your treatment period to avoid sunburns, pigmentation, and other side effects.
