The latest advances in light technology are therapies involving Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). IPL is extremely effective at improving the texture quality of the skin by treating sun-damaged skin, enlarged pores, brown spots, broken capillaries, acne and skin redness. This treatment is gentle, safe, non-abrasive and takes only minutes.
PDT is a light therapy combined with a photosensitizing agent called ALA (aminolevulinic acid) to treat pre-cancerous changes of the skin . The ALA medication is applied to the skin for at least an hour in the office, followed by exposure light for 15-20 minutes. Once the ALA on the skin is exposed to the light, this photosensitive drug starts to react by attacking the diseased pre-cancerous cells.
The treatment of choice for dynamic wrinkles. This therapy involves injecting small amounts of the toxin into the facial muscles responsible for movement associated with lines and wrinkles. This injection weakens the muscle, thus reducing the associated lines and wrinkles. The most common areas that this therapy is used are the lines between the eyes, forehead wrinkles, crow\'s feet, necklines, and on occasion around the mouth. Moreover, this product is useful for controlling excessive sweating of the palms and underarms.
As we age, collagen - the protein scaffolding that maintains skin firmness - gradually disappears and the dermis loses moisture. Injectable dermal fillers add volume that time has taken away. The process, known as soft tissue augmentation uses injectable filler materials to treat fine to deep wrinkles, nasolabial folds, smile lines, oral commissures and scars.
Light Emitting Diodes, a FDA approved technology, is a non-ablative (non-harming), non-thermal treatment that reduces wrinkles, pore size and pigmentation to produce smoother, more youthful looking skin. L.E.D. treatments are painless and recovery is instantaneous so that you can immediately return to your normal activities. L.E.D. requires several appointments: results are gradually seen, but increase with time and after each session. Using a technology called Photomodulation, L.E.D. is a low-intensity light therapy that can modulate (increase or decrease) cellular activity increasing collagen production while decreasing the production of enzymes that breakdown and age the skin. L.E.D. can also be used in conjunction with other procedures such as microdermabrasion, nonablative laser treatments and both laser and chemical peels and after soft tissue augmentation.
Ultherapy lifts, tightens and tones loose muscle and skin to couteract the effects of time and gravity. Ultherapy delivers a low amount of focused ultrasound energy to the deep layers of the skin and muscle to cause tightening of the treated areas. The beauty of Ultherapy uplifting ultrasound is that it is a face and neck treatment that improves skin laxity in a meaningful way but completely non-surgically. One treatment triggers the body\'s own regeneralive process of building new collagen to lift and tighten the skin gradually, naturally and from the inside out. When the skin on the cheeks and neck begins to shift downward, the result is a change in the contour of the lower face. Ultherapy can lift and tighten the sagging skin on the cheeks and neck to give a younger, slimmer look. It can be used in conjunction with Botox / Dysport and dermal fillers to achieve maximum cosmetic outcomes. One treatment is usually necessary to obtain optimal results without any recuperation time.
Brown spots can occur on the face, neck, shoulders, hands and any part of the body. These include so-called liver spots on the hands, small brown spots or age spots on the face, and freckles and freckle-like spots on the face and elsewhere. Lasers are the ideal way to quickly remove these blemishes. Lasers only remove the surface color which spares the skin underneath.
Laser therapy is one of the most exciting treatments for removing unwanted pigments in the skin such as melasma, age spots, freckles and tattoos. Lasers work by emitting a specialized light that is passed through the skin and preferentially absorbed by its target, be it an unwanted hair, vein, or in this case, the unwanted pigment (either natural - melanin or tattoo inks) in the skin. The laser causes the pigments to break up and disappear, leaving you with smooth, clear skin. There are several lasers available that work remarkably well in treating unwanted pigmentation.
Photo-rejuvenation is the latest, safest technology available for permanent hair reduction and sun-damaged skin. Hightly controlled flashes of light are selectively absorbed by hair-filled follicles lying below the surface of the skin. The absorbed light heats the hair, which damages or destroys the regrowth potential of the follicle - all without damaging the surrounding tissue.
Spider veins occur as a result of a number of factors including hereditary, conditions such as Rosacea and Sun damage. They can be treated with the use of the state of the art lasers. The laser allows to treat broken capillaries without any downtime and without bruising. Laser therapy is a proven treatment for treating unsightly broken and dilated vessels as well as other unwanted vascular lesions, such as rosacea, port wine stains and other vascular birthmarks. In fact, the latest advances in laser technology have given a method for removal that is safer, faster and more effective than any previous treatment.

Because our hands receive so much exposure, it is one of the first places to start showing visible signs of aging. Natural aging, and exposure to sunlight, causes this appearance. The more common visible signs of aging include darkened spots (a.k.a. "age spots") and precancerous growths. A loss of fatty tissue also occurs, making our hands look bony. Hand rejuvenation treatments can help restore the hands to a more youthful appearance. Various treatment options are available, so one treatment or a combination can be used to help achieve the desired appearance on youthful hands.
Patch testing is a way of identifying whether a substance that comes in contact with the skin is causing inflammation of the skin (contact dermatitis). There are two types of contact dermatitis: irritant contact dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis Irritant contact dermatitis: An irritant substance is one that would cause inflammation in almost every individual if it was applied in sufficiently high concentration for long enough. An irritant reaction is caused by the direct contact of an irritant substance with the skin and does not involve the immune system. Allergic contact dermatitis: An allergic reaction is specific to the individual and to a substance (or a group of related substances) called an allergen. Allergy is a hypersensitivity (oversensitivity) to a particular substance, and always involves the immune system. All areas of skin that are in contact with the allergen develop the rash. The rash will disappear if you avoid contact with the substance. Patch testing can help to differentiate between the two. The test involves the application of various test substances to the skin under adhesive tape that are then left in place for 48 hours. The skin is then examined a further 48 hours later for any response. This can help the doctor decide which allergens you are allergic to and identify those that could be aggravating your dermatitis. The doctor will then be able to advise how you can avoid the allergens.

The fractional laser can also: improve the skin tone, texture and pore size; smooth out uneven skin and fills in acne scars; improve peri-orbital wrinkles and rejuvenate the neck, chest and hands.
Many people consider skin cancer to be only a minor health concern, and for the most part, this is true. However, in North America today, someone dies from skin cancer every hour. This is truly unfortunate, because most skin cancers are preventable or at least curable when detected at an early stage Mohs Micrographic Surgery is an advanced treatment process for skin cancer that offers the highest possible cure rate for many skin cancers. This cutting-edge treatment requires a highly specialized physician that serves as surgeon, pathologist and reconstructive surgeon. The microscopic analysis of the tissue allows the surgeon to track the removal of the cancer and ensure the complete elimination of all tumor roots. As tumors often extend below intact normal skin (like the roots of a tree) this procedure allows the surgeon to see beyond the visible tumor to ensure its complete removal. The cure rates for Mohs Micrographic Surgery approach 99% for most primary (untreated) cancers. While limiting the sacrifice of uninvolved tissue, this specialized procedure preserves the greatest amount of normal tissue. This benefit of the procedure provides the foundation for the best reconstructions and limits scarring or permanent disfigurement.
