MicroPeel® is a three-step process that removes a micro-thin top
layer of skin. This top layer is a significant obstruction to having
better skin because it is pore-clogged. The procedure is safe,
effective, and is accomplished in 15 - 20 minutes.

TCA
Skin Peels
TCA
is a non-toxic chemical that has been used to perform skin peels for
over 30 years. Unlike some other peels, TCA peels have the
advantage of creating a fresh natural appearing complexion, while
preserving the normal skin color. For this reason, they are often
referred to as "freshening peels".
TCA peels can effectively improve many
conditions, including:
- Dull, weathered skin
- Freckling
- Blotchy pigmentation
- Sun damage
- Fine wrinkles
- Shallow acne scars

Microdermabrasion
System
The M.D.A Microdermabrasion system works by pumping minute crystals through a glass hand-piece onto the skin's surface.
The fine crystal mist gently refines the
epidermal layer leaving the skin smooth and more youthful. Dermabrasion has been used in the medical industry for with great success.
Micro-dermabrasion has been introduced to allow the beauty therapist to bridge the gap between
beauty salon and the dermatologist clinic. In just one treatment the M.D.A visibly refines
and polishes the surface of the skin. And what's more, the technique stimulates the micro-circulation to promote a healthy new layer of skin.

Laser Procedures
The laser works by bouncing
light back and forth in between mirrors and lenses, increasing the
strength with each cycle. When the beam of light is at the
desired power it is released. The laser beam causes a carefully
controlled burn that can be used for various procedures.
Lasers
have gained acceptance, over the past several years, as the best
alternative to traditional treatments.
Laser
Procedure
Whether used for hair
removal or vein removal, the Vascular
Laser provides the most risk free treatment when compared to
other methods. While most laser systems cannot treat dark or
tanned skin, the Vascular Laser System can be used effectively on a broad
range of skin types.

Laser
Skin Resurfacing
Also
known as "laser peel," laser skin resurfacing usually
takes less than 1½ hours (sometimes just a few minutes) depending
on the size of the area being treated. The procedure uses a
carbon dioxide (CO2) laser beam which vaporizes the upper layers
of damaged skin at controlled levels of penetration. Also
used is Erbium Laser beam.
The procedure
removes areas of damaged or wrinkled skin often caused by
prolonged sun exposure. Laser resurfacing can minimize the
appearance of fine lines around the mouth and the eyes and is also
effective in treating facial scars and skin areas with uneven
pigmentation.
Other procedures done in
our office is sclerotherapy, Botox, TCA peels, glycolic acid peels
and BioMedic peels.
Surgical Procedures
Hair
Removal
Laser hair removal is a finely tuned
sophisticated procedure done with the use of laser. This specific laser
is designed to remove the growth center at the base of the hair
follicle. The laser emits a gentle beam of light that passes
through the skin, to the hair follicle, where it is absorbed. Upon
absorption, the laser energy is transformed into heat, which can disable
the follicle.
The majority of the body parts are appropriate for the
use of this laser. It is essentially a painless procedure, it can
be performed in the office and does not require anesthesia. The
laser is FDA approved and in general 3 laser treatments 4 weeks apart
are required for complete removal of the hair in the region.

Vein
Removal
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.

Removal
of Shaving Bumps
Shaving
bumps are a common problem for people with curly hair and dark
skin. As the hair grows out of the skin, it will immediately
re-curl and re-enter the skin causing it to become inflamed and
irritated creating bumps. Sometimes these bumps can become quite
large and can only be relieved by using topical steroids. The Vascular
Laser, the only laser approved by the FDA for all skin
types, can provide long-lasting relief for the irritating shaving
bumps by removing the hair follicles.
Surgical Procedures
Tattoo
Removal
If the tattoo is relatively small and/or
easily accessible and cosmetically in an inconspicuous area, the entire
tattoo can be surgically cut out (or excised), and the skin can be sutured
closed with stitches. This can be done in a single treatment session, or
in several treatment sessions involving a "staged" or serial
excision technique. This surgical technique is done in the office under
local anesthesia.

Scar
