Anti-Aging Injections

If you are not ready to go down the road of invasive cosmetic surgery, cosmetic injections could be the answer for you. Achieve fuller, more sensuous lips; or smooth out lines and wrinkles, they even have the ability to change facial contours. Our Doctor will explain the process involved as well as advising you on the best course of action for you during your initial consultation.

Skin Tag Removal
A skin tag is a very common benign skin condition which consists of a piece of skin projecting from the surrounding skin. Skin tags can be found anywhere on the body, but are most commonly found around the neck, under the arms, eyelids and the groin area. We remove them quickly and effectively with diathermy.

Laser Genesis/ Skin rejuvenation
Laser genesis is an innovative, technologically advanced way to promote vibrant and healthy looking skin in men and women. Now you can have a more youthful appearance by treating those conditions that are typically associated with premature signs of aging and sun damage, such as excessive redness, large pores, uneven texture and fine line wrinkles. The laser genesis system has been scientifically proven to produce new collagen. A patch test will be needed prior to the commencement of treatment. During the consultation our highly trained therapists will explain what is involved, consultation is free.

Vein Removal
We treat a broad range of vessels from tiny spider veins to deep blue reticular veins quickly, safely, and effectively. Patients with dark, light or tanned skin can experience outstanding results with minimal bruising or blistering.

How does Thread Vein Removal work?

The laser system delivers pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel which is later reabsorbed by your body. Blood flow will then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin's surface, where it should be.

Can anyone have the treatment done?
The Cutera Laser System features a unique design and long wavelength that allows treatment of patients of all skin tones. Your therapist will advise you if Vein Therapy is right for you.

What types of veins can be treated?
We can remove unsightly veins from all parts of the body. Small, facial veins (or "telangiectasia") can be treated quickly without bruising or complication. Spider veins and purple leg veins can also be treated with excellent results. Knotty varicose veins are not good candidates. Our therapists are trained to the highest standards and will be able to advise you on your treatment during a free consultation.

How does this compare to Sclerotherapy?
We have found that we achieve excellent results with our laser system. We have the technology to work with a wide range of parameters allowing us to treat many different types of veins. Many of our clients have preferred the laser treatment as there are no painful injections involved.

How many treatments will I need?
Usually a minimum of two treatments are required. However, the number of treatments necessary depends on the number, color, and size of the vessels being treated. Since individual results vary, ask your therapist about your specific condition during your free consultation.

Do the treatments hurt?
Most patients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the hand piece. Although no local anesthesia or pain medication is typically required, many patients opt to use a topical anesthetic prior to treatment. Following the treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent.

What happens after the treatment?
Following your treatment, some redness or bruising may occur. When larger veins are treated such as on the legs, a tan or brownish pigment may persist for a few weeks or months following treatment. Patients who have leg vein treatments may be advised to wear support hose for a short period of time.

What are the possible side effects?
Although many patients report few if any side effects, those most commonly noticed are slight reddening and local swelling of the skin. These effects typically last for less than 24 hours. Some patients may experience bruising and, in rare instances, blistering may occur. During your free consultation your therapist will give you complete information on the benefits and risks of treatment.

Are there any restrictions on my activity after treatment?
Patients generally resume most normal activities immediately. However, it is recommended that you avoid vigorous activities such as strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours after treatment. The use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated areas exposed to the sun. As always, it is a good idea to limit your sun exposure.

When will I see results?
Most patients find that the majority of the treated veins have shown significant improvement within two to six weeks of treatment. However, your final results may not be apparent for several months. Over time, it is possible for new thread veins to appear, but these too can be removed with the Cutera CoolGlide Laser System.

Pigmentation Treatment
Skin pigmentation disorders are caused when the body produces either too much or too little melanin. We work with the physiology of the skin and use ingredients that are not destructive to treat pigmentation marks that have occurred through sun damage, pregnancy or injury to the skin.

Microdermabrasion
OXYcrystal Microdermabrasion is the most advanced microdermabrasion procedure to date. Pure oxygen is used to circulate three types of fine crystals over the skin, gently removing dead skin cells, oils and other debris that clog pores and lead to dull complexions and blemished skin. This treatment, loved by celebrities, refines and purifies the skin like no other.
