Pixel Perfect Skin Rejuvination - Pixel Perfect is an aesthetic erbium laser treatment that can improve the years of aging.  It can help reverse the early signs of aging, help counteract years of sun damage and can improve acne scarring.  It can provide noticeable results, often in as little as a single treatment.  Pixel Perfect stimulates new collagen growth to improve your skin’s texture and tone and fight fine lines and wrinkles.  Since pixel is a more superficial process than traditional laser resurfacing, not only is healing time shortened considerably, but Pixel Perfect also comes with a lower risk of complications.  Pixel Perfect can be used on almost all body areas.

Dermal Fillers - Dermal fillers can provide the volume and lift needed to diminish the signs of aging.  These fillers act as a scaffold under the skin, providing structure and stimulating your own natural collagen to grow.  Dermal fillers have been called "liquid facelifts" because they offer many of the benefits of a surgical facelift without the downtime.  Although they can't help with excess sagging skin, these soft tissue fillers can add more volume and provide immediate results at a lower cost than surgery.  This process continues for several months, but the natural results and can last up to a year in many patients.  Some dermal fillers are used in conjunction with other skin rejuvenation treatments such as injections of botulinum toxin or Dysport.

Botox - BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows in people 18 to 65 years of age for a short period of time. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical treatment that is injected directly into the muscles between the brows. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles, which reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form between the brows.

Dysport - Prescription Dysport is an injection used to temporarily improve the look of your moderate to severe frown lines without changing the look of your whole face.  The untreated facial muscles still work normally, allowing you to freely show facial expressions, such as smiling, in untreated areas.  With just 1 injection into each of 5 points between and over the eyebrows, Dysport blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines. You should not be treated with Dysport more frequently than every 90 days.

Dysport vs. Botox - Dysport has a thinner consistency than Botox and is becoming the popular product to use when treating broad, thinly- muscled areas such as those around your forehead because it spreads easier and further and may be less prone to leave a lumpy look.  Another advantage of Dysport’s consistency is that you may require fewer injections because it does spread more easily.

Tattoo Removal - The advent of Q-Switched lasers has permitted the removal of most tattoo inks with a very low risk of scarring.  The MedLite Q- Switched Nd: YAG laser can significantly lighten or remove a wide variety of tattoo inks.  On the average, professional tattoos require 8 or more treatments, while amateur tattoos require 5 or more treatments, all spaced approximately 8- 12 weeks apart.  The number of treatments depends on the amount and type of ink used, and the depth of the ink in the skin.

Permanent hair reduction - The GentleLASE creates a beam of high- intensity light that penetrates deep into skin tissue where it delivers a controlled amount of therapeutic heat.  Candela’s patented Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) technology protects the upper layers of your skin with a cooling burst of cryogen.  Together, the long- pulse laser and DCD cooling offer optimal treatment with minimal side effects.  The number of sessions depends on the treatment area and the condition of your skin.  For hair removal, most people require at least 5-7 treatments, as the process is only effective when the hair follicle is in its active growth phase.

Spider Veins - Laser light penetrates the skin, raising the temperature of the blood vessel and safely coagulates it.  Treated veins gradually shrink and become less visible or can potentially disappear altogether.  Multiple sessions spanning several months may be necessary, but the exact number of treatments depends on the size of the vein and your body’s ability to heal.  Candidates for this therapy include spider veins, very small veins caused by a dilation of the minute vessels that sit near the skin’s surface, and reticular veins, the small, bluish colored veins that carry blood to the skin’s tiny vessels.  Fading is generally excellent, but it may take several months to see final results.
