Hand Treatments
As we age, the skin on our hands can change just as much as the skin on our face, resulting in thinner, sagging skin and an increased visibility of the tendons and veins. Hand rejuvenation is a restorative treatment that combines skin fillers such as Restylane® and Juvéderm® with laser treatments such as Total FX Fractional Laser to replace lost volume and improve the overall appearance of the hand.
The skin of the hand is first injected with a biocompatible filler that stimulates collagen production and thickens the skin, making tendons and veins less visible. Desired results can usually be achieved after a series of two to three treatments spaced six weeks apart. Laser treatments work with the filler to improve the texture of the skin, while also removing sun spots and other unwanted blemishes. A series of four laser treatments spaced a month apart can help patients see significant results.
Airbrush
Our Tanning System uses an exclusive formula, DHA (a sugar cane derivative), to bronze the skin with the precision of an airbrush application and without any of the damage of cumulative UVA and UVB exposure to the sun. Our delivery system allows for deeper penetration which in turns means longer lasting results, typically up to 5 to 7 days.
Skin Rejuvenation
Laser skin rejuvenation is a popular treatment option for restoring aging skin to a smoother and more youthful appearance. This term includes several different noninvasive techniques used to treat wrinkles, sagging skin, brown spots, enlarged pores and more.
Different types of laser treatments are used to treat different skin conditions. Some of the most commonly used procedures include:
- Intense pulsed light (IPL) - Light therapy that penetrates deep in the skin and does not injure the surface, best used to improve skin texture and color.
- Photodynamic therapy (PDT) - Two-part procedure that makes the skin more sensitive to light and then uses the light to reduce redness, age spots and freckles with minimal downtime.
- Non-ablative laser rejuvenation - Used for early signs of aging and requires no downtime.
- Ablative laser resurfacing - Heats the skin to reduce deep wrinkles and other signs of aging, but causes a visible wound that requires healing.
Results from laser treatments are usually not immediate and can take several months to appear. Several sessions may be needed in order to reach the patient's desired results, but laser techniques are often effective in completely eliminating age spots and other concerns.
Although safer than traditional resurfacing procedures, there are some risks associated with laser skin rejuvenation, such as unwanted lightening or darkening of the treated area or scarring. Choosing an experienced doctor can help reduce these risks.
Laser Hair Removal
While our bodies are almost completely covered in tiny, fine hairs, for some people hair may be more noticeable or troublesome. Unwanted hair can be embarrassing for many people, especially women, and can lead to low self-confidence, restricted clothing options or constant shaving or waxing to remove the hair. These problems most often arise in people with light skin and dark hair, although anyone can experience excessive or unwanted hair on the face or body.
Men and women alike are affected by unwanted hair, which often appears on the face, upper lip, neck, chest, underarms, back, abdomen, bikini line and legs, although it may appear nearly anywhere on the skin.
If you are experiencing unwanted hair, please schedule a consultation with us to discuss your concerns. Our doctors will take the time to evaluate your areas of concern and determine the most effective treatment option for removing or reducing the appearance of unwanted hair through the most advanced, minimally invasive techniques.
There are many treatment options available for effective removal of unwanted hair, depending on the amount and location of the hair, as well as the patient's desired goals. Temporary treatments such as shaving and waxing are most commonly performed for their convenience and affordability, but require ongoing care to keep the skin smooth and free of hair. Many people frustrated with constantly treating areas of unwanted hair seek a more long-term solution from their doctor in order to achieve the appearance they desire.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal exposes specific areas of the body to beams of laser light that disable active hair follicles and delay or prevent re-growth. Ideal for patents with dark skin, this procedure effectively removes unwanted facial or body hair after a series of treatment sessions. Most patients experience a complete removal or significant reduction in hair growth after treatment and no longer have to worry about ongoing hair removal treatments.
Electrolysis
Electrolysis may also be performed as a means of permanent hair removal, as it removes unwanted hair quickly, safely and with little discomfort. During the procedure, a tiny probe is inserted into the hair follicle, where it delivers radiofrequency energy that heats the hair matrix until it coagulates. The hair is then removed after a series of weekly treatments.
Waxing
This procedure is a non-permanent solution to hair removal and produces smooth, silky results of the affected areas. The price of treatment varies with the treatment area or size.
