Application of a chemical solution to remove the outer layer of skin to treat fine lines, wrinkles, mild scarring, acne, skin discoloration, and pre-cancerous growths.
Cosmetic Surgery
Aesthetic procedures to improve and rejuvenate the appearance of the skin, e.g., laser resurfacing, wrinkle fillers, chemical peeling, and hair restoration, etc.
Cryosurgery
Freezing the skin tissue with liquid nitrogen to remove skin growths.
Excision and Closure
Cutting into the skin to remove a growth and then closing the wound with stitches.
Filler Injections
Filler substances are generally used to "plump up" and minimize wrinkles, furrows and hollows in the face, giving the skin a smoother and more pleasing appearance. Fillers such as bovine collagen and related materials, one's own fat and polymer implants are effective for contouring specific facial sites and correcting depressions and scars.
Laser Hair Removal
Various laser and light-based systems are utilized for efficient and long-lasting hair removal. The laser light energy causes thermal damage to the hair follicle, thus stunting regrowth.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser technology precisely removes damaged and undesired skin tissue, thereby erasing wrinkles and lines. Fresh skin cells to impart a rejuvenated facial appearance replace aging and sun-damaged skin.
A beam of laser light directed at a site to cut, seal or vaporize skin tissue and blood vessels. Laser therapy is used to rejuvenate aging and sun-damaged skin by resurfacing wrinkles and lines; selectively eliminate tissue abnormalities such as vascular and pigmented skin lesions and tattoos; improve scars and stretch marks; erase spider veins and birthmarks; remove unwanted facial and body hair.
Micro-Dermabrasion
A non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment that uses micro-particles to abrade and rub off the top skin layer, vacuuming out the particles of dead skin.
Basically, micro-dermabrasion entails blasting the face with sterile micro-particles to abrade or rub off the very top skin layer, then vacuuming out the particles and the dead skin. The results seem to be similar to a light chemical peel with minimal discomfort, no need for topical or local anesthesia, and practically no recovery. Due to its very superficial nature, the procedure may be used on the chest, neck, arms and hands with virtually no complications.
At present, there is limited scientific data on micro-dermabrasion. Several dermatologic surgeons are investigating the effectiveness of the treatment, but long-term clinical efficacy has yet to be determined. So far, preliminary experience suggests that the technique may be especially beneficial for Asian and dark-skinned patients who typically encounter skin discoloration with other facial rejuvenation treatments. As an adjunctive therapy, experts believe micro-dermabrasion may accelerate or maintain certain other skin renewal modalities, like laser treatment.
Nail Surgery
Removal or repair of a nail abnormality for the purposes of diagnosis and/or treatment.
Non-Ablative Skin Rejuvenation
Non-ablative or non-wounding laser, intense pulsed light and other technologies work beneath the surface skin layer to stimulate collagen production, tone and tighten skin and improve mild to moderate skin damage.
Sclerotherapy
Injection of a solution to remove unwanted varicose and spider leg veins.
