Skin Treatments
.................................................................................................................................................


Good skin care practices can help to maintain firm, smooth, and healthy skin.

Eventually, though, time and sun exposure take a toll on the skin's appearance. Skin problems can occur because of age, exposure to environmental elements, and a host of other factors. Some common skin flaws are the result of genetics, viruses, and other causes.

Laser hair removal can be an extremely pleasing and gratifying procedure for patients who wish to get rid of unwanted or excessive body hair.

Almost any area of the body where unwanted hair is a problem can be treated using the latest laser hair removal systems. Common laser hair removal areas for men are the back, chest, and legs, while common laser hair removal areas for women are the face, bikini area, and legs.

Millions of women are bothered by spider veins - those small yet unsightly clusters of red, blue or purple veins that most commonly appear on the thighs, calves and ankles. In fact, it's estimated that at least half of the adult female population is plagued with this common cosmetic problem.

Today, many plastic surgeons are treating spider veins with sclerotherapy. In this rather simple procedure, veins are injected with a sclerosing solution, which causes them to collapse and fade from view.
