Other Services
Dermal Fillers
Are for use in helping to create a smoother and/or fuller appearance in multiple areas of the body including the face, nasolabial folds, cheeks, lips, and hands to name a few. Soft tissue fillers have a temporary effect because they contain materials that are absorbed by the body over time. Some soft tissue fillers also contain lidocaine, which is intended to decrease pain or discomfort related to the injection.
Laser Hair Removal
king up in the morning with smooth [hair-free] skin and not having to shave, pluck, wax or bleach unwanted hair. Laser hair removal is done with a specific beam of light that has the ability to permanently disable and reduce unwanted body hair. Depending on the amount of hair and the size of the area being treated, sessions may vary from a few
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Using blood plasma that contains a concentrated source of autologous platelets. The platelets collected in PRP are activated by adding thrombin and calcium chloride which induces the release of these factors by degranulation of the alpha granules produced. Several forms of PRP or PRP-derived products exist for different conditions. PRP can be liquid or gel formed but a fibrin matrix is often used.
Skin Tightening
collagen reduction in the reticular (lower) dermis and coagulation of tissue in the papillary (upper) dermis. Controlled wounding of the papillary dermis allows for new collagen formation and remodeling while reduction of collagen to the reticular dermis allows for contraction of tissue. This is a non-ablative type of procedure and typically includes Class II light energy devices and requires multiple treatments for the desired effect. Typically, these devices are safe for all skin types and have multiple Non-FDA uses such as the shrinkage of sebaceous glands associated with moderate and severe acne.
Skin Rejuvenation
A series of treatments intended to improve the appearance of sun-damaged or aged skin. It can also reduce redness and flushing, such as seen in a skin condition known as Rosacea. Early clinical experience has shown dramatic improvements [on average, 90%] in skin color and texture of the face, neck, chest, and back. Mild acne scars can be diminished, and large pores and fine lines can be reduced. Most significantly, patients report no “downtime” in their daily activities.
