Laser Hair Removal How is laser hair removal performed? A doctor or an RN administers pulses of light to your skin from a handpiece that contains a cooling tip. The tip of the hand-piece will be gently glided, administering the light pulses evenly to your hair follicles. How does it work? The laser light passes through the outer layer of skin and is selectively absorbed by the hair follicle. The laser energy heats the pigment and effectively disables the hair follicle.
What does the process feel like? First, there is a cool feeling from the contact of the laser-source tip and then there is a slight tingling sensation from the laser light itself. Most patients tolerate the procedure well, but some areas of the body are more sensitive than others. Topical anesthesia is always available for those who may have sensitive skin.
How many treatments are required? Research indicates that between 20% and 30% of the hair follicles are in the growing or anagen stage at any time. As a result, multiple treatments are required. The actual number varies from one individual to the next, but our experience indicates that 5 or more treatments at 4 to 6 weeks apart are best for optimal effect.
Botox® Botox® treatments are one of the few procedures we do that result in high patient satisfaction within a short period of time. In fact, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) 2001 Statistics on Cosmetic Surgery listed Botox® injections as the fastest-growing cosmetic treatment performed by surgeons in the United States. Botox® can simply, safely and effectively improve: frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines, crow’s feet around the eyes.
Rosacea Treatment Photofacial treatments are full face, neck and/or chest treatments using pulses of visible light that effectively improve facial redness and flushing as well as the visible signs of sun damage and aging. The end result of treatment is smoother, more even-toned skin with less redness and decreased flushing, diminished blood vessels, and more balanced pigmentation.
Age Spot Treatment Cosmelan® depigmentation treatment involves a very versatile, dynamic process which is easily adapted to the needs of each individual patient. Just one week after starting the Cosmelan® depigmentation treatment, a noticeably significant improvement of the skin is observed! The reduction of the treated blemish is detected and the appearance of new luminous and rejuvenated skin is present. In 99% of the cases the disappearance of the blemishes improves by 95%.
Dermal Filler Restylane®
Restylane® is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles, lines, and plumps lips. Restylane® is a cosmetic dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane® is a crystal-clear gel called NASHATM, or Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. It is currently approved in the U.S. for the treatment of facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds, which are the lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
