WRINKLE REDUCTION AND ACNE SCAR IMPROVEMENT

WRINKLE REDUCTION AND ACNE SCAR IMPROVEMENT

We are using the newest fractional technology to significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and acne scarring. The Palomar 1540 fractional technology produces thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatmens in your skin, known as microthermal treatment zones. This is done with limited discomfort to the patient as the Palomar 1540 utilizes patented cooling. Just as important as the treated areas are the areas of skin that are left untouched. The fractional treatment allows the skin to heal much faster than if the entire area was treated at once, using the body's natural healing process to create new, healthy tissue. For a limited time we are offering a special promotion utilizing the fractional technology!

We are now offering skin tightening with minimal discomfort. Introducing the LUXIR laser that sends infrared light pulses deep into the dermis, where it creates a carefully controlled area of elevated temperature. This technology has been shown to trigger a biological response which leads to collagen remodeling in the deep dermis. Remodeled collagen can smooth out fine wrinkles and tighten sagging skin.

Sclerotherapy is a simple office procedure for spider vein removal and varicose vein removal.

Sclerotherapy was developed in the 1920's.  During the procedure, Sotradecol, a FDA approved sclerosing solution is injected into the varicose or spider vein through a micro-needle.  The tiny needle generally causes very little pain.  The vein commonly blanches and ultimately disappears.  A typical treatment may last for 15 to 20 minutes and consist of multiple injections.  Injection sclerotherapy frequently eliminates the need for invasive surgical procedures.

Complete correction of the treated area is not expected on the first treatment.  In most cases, about 50% of the treated spider and varicose veins will be gone; however, new veins continually appear and additional treatments are generally required for optimum results.  These treatments are commonly in two to three week intervals.

After vein removal you will be required to elevate your legs for a two to four hour period.  This allows blood from entering the treated vein which helps keep the vein closed.  Bruises around the treated areas usually disappear after the first week.  A tan or brownish pigment may develop and persist for several weeks when larger varicose veins are involved.  Occasionally the treated vein becomes hard to touch and darker in color.  This is not a cause for concern, but actually the first step in the removal process. 

Patients are generally encouraged to resume normal activities very quickly; however, heavy exercise in discouraged for the first 48 hours after vein removal treatment.  Although your final results may not be apparent for several months, most patients experience an 80% to 90% improvement.

The cost of varicose vein and spider vein removal depends on the number of treatments required.  Some insurance companies consider sclerotherapy to be a cosmetic procedure and will not consider it a covered benefit.  However, some companies will pay benefits if your pain and discomfort impedes your normal activities.  Our office manager will be happy to discuss your insurance coverage with you.
