CoolSculpting™ by ZELTIQ™
CoolSculpting™ by ZELTIQ™ is a new, non-invasive way to gently and effectively reduce fat in targeted areas of the body that results in a noticeable, natural-looking fat reduction in the treated areas. What makes the CoolSculpting procedure different is that it uses advanced cooling technology to selectively target fat bulges and eliminate fat cells through a gradual process that does not harm the surrounding tissues. This procedure can reduce unwanted abdominal fat, love handles (flanks), and back fat.

Botox® / Dysport™ Injection
Botox blocks impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that are related to expression lines. Botox relaxes the muscles so they do not contract. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled, while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing normal facial expression to be unaffected.

Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are ideal for restoring skin to its original beauty. This procedure can effectively improve a wide variety of skin conditions including fine lines and wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, shallow acne scars, sun-damaged skin and freckling. Depending on your skin type, one to four coats of solution will be applied to various areas of your skin. The solution stimulates the production of new skin from beneath, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

FotoFacial™
FotoFacial therapy is designed for the full face, neck, chest and other body sites for treatment of a variety of problems. FotoFacial treatments are dynamic non-invasive procedures that use low-energy intense pulsed light (IPL™) to rejuvenate the skin. The entire face, neck and/or chest is treated at each session with no downtime. The goal is new collagen production that reduces pore size, fine lines and wrinkles while producing a more youthful skin tone and texture.

Fractional Photothermolysis (FRAXEL®)
This procedure produces thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatment in the skin, which eliminates old epidermal cells and regenerates collagen and elastin. Just as important, there are areas of the skin that are left untouched. This “fractional” treatment allows the skin to heal faster than if the entire area were treated. The result is a faster healing process that creates new, healthy tissue to replace skin imperfections.

Laser hair removal does exactly what it says – it removes unwanted hair using a laser beam of light. This procedure is well suited for large areas, like the back, legs and arms, and small areas, such as hair on the chin and upper lip. Results are generally good, but may not be perfect or permanent within the first couple of treatments. With each treatment you will see significant reduction in the quantity and the thickness of the hair follicles in the treated area.

Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is ideal for reducing the signs of aging and rejuvenating skin that has been damaged by the sun. This procedure requires no incisions, yet fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and eyes are smoothed, deep creases and frown lines are softened, and acne scars are minimized. In addition, laser skin resurfacing evens out skin pigmentation and removes skin discoloration. Generally, patients enjoy a short recovery time after laser skin resurfacing.

Laser of Spider Veins
Spider vein treatments deliver precise dosages of energy to each vein through a special hand piece. The energy is then absorbed into the blood vessels, causing clogging. The clog is then slowly absorbed by the body. Treatments are spaced at four- to six-week intervals, and typically, multiple treatments are necessary to achieve optimal results. Tiny pink and red vessels usually require two to three treatments to achieve acceptable results, but veins that are darker or purplish may require more treatments.

Narrow Beam UVB Light Therapy
UVB therapy is used for adults and children. It is effective in at least two-thirds of psoriasis and vitiligo patients who have thin plaques with moderate to severe disease, and who respond to natural sunlight. It is often used when topical treatments are not successful.
This procedure is also used to treat the loss of skin color through selective repigmentation.

Photorejuvenation
Photorejuvenation combats the effects of aging and damaged skin by delivering precise amounts of light energy through the skin’s surfaces. The light energy stimulates the production of collagen, and as the new collagen forms, it softens the appearance of aging skin.

Restylane
The Restylane family of products includes Restylane, Restylane-L, Perlane, and Perlane-L. These products can be used individually to add volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth and create fuller natural-looking plump lips.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a popular method for eliminating spider veins in which a solution is injected into the veins. The solution irritates and destroys the inner lining of the blood vessel so it ceases to carry blood, without damaging the surrounding tissues. The body then replaces this damaged vessel with imperceptible scar tissue. This does not harm the circulation but actually improves it by eliminating the abnormal, unnecessary vessel.

Thermage tightens loose or aging skin and wrinkles by using radio frequency (RF) energy that uniformly heats the lower layers of your skin while cooling and protecting the top layer. This causes immediate collagen contraction followed by new collagen production over a period of time. The Thermage procedure is the only non-invasive, non-surgical method to tighten loose skin.
