LaVIV
LAVIV is an FDA-approved treatment that can minimize or erase the wrinkles around the mouth and nose for a smoother, more youthful appearance. It is a customized therapy that uses a patient’s own skin tissue cells to achieve rejuvenation. Once skin samples have been taken, they are sent to the Fibrocell Science lab where they are expanded, cryopreserved and shipped back to the physician’s office for injection. This breakthrough technology is made up of at least 98% pure fibroblasts from a patient’s own skin. Clinically proven to be safe and effective, LAVIV provides noticeable improvements in nasolabial fold wrinkles between the nose and the mouth.

Fraxel™ and Fraxel™ Dual
Fraxel™ is a unique noninvasive laser therapy designed to dramatically improve skin texture and pigmentation, including the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, and sun damage. Fraxel™ utilizes fractional resurfacing technology, where only a small fraction of the skin receives the laser light. The treatment delivers a series of microscopic laser spots, while simultaneously preserving areas of unaffected, healthy skin. The healthy cells in the untouched spots promote rapid healing of the entire area, resulting in faster recovery time and minimal side effects. The result is softer, smoother and healthier skin without an uncomfortable healing period.
The Fraxel™ Dual system is a new version of Fraxel’s laser treatment that expands on its versatility. Safe and effective, it can produce remarkable results on all skin types, anywhere on the body. Improvement is immediate, and the Fraxel Dual laser is used to successfully treat the effects of sun damage, wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, melasma and Actinic Keratosis where other therapies have failed. It keeps surrounding tissue intact for maximum healing and minimal discomfort or downtime. The Fraxel Dual laser is able to penetrate deep into the skin to stimulate collagen remodeling, which enhances results for weeks and even months after the procedure. An improved scanner design has increased procedure speed by 25%, offering minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is the standard treatment for varicose and spider veins. A special sclerosing solution is injected into the diseased vein, which then collapses and is gradually absorbed by the body. By the end of the treatment program, the veins are less visible on the skin surface. Sclerotherapy usually also relieves symptoms associated with enlarged veins and prevents further complications.

Asclera®
Asclera® is a prescription medication administered in injection form to treat spider and varicose veins during sclerotherapy. This substance, known as a sclerosing agent, damages the inside lining of the blood vessels and causes platelets to attach to the vessel walls over time, creating a blood clot and causing blood to divert to a healthier vein. The clotted vein will eventually dissolve and be replaced with tissue.
Sclerotherapy treatment with Asclera takes 15-45 minutes to perform, depending on the size and severity of the affected blood vessel. For most patients, one injection is administered for each inch of the affected vessel, with multiple injections performed during each treatment session. After this procedure, patients will need to wear compression stockings or support hose to facilitate proper healing.
Laser Hair Removal
Whether for hygienic or cosmetic reasons, women and men who are tired of temporary, often painful methods of removing unwanted hair on the face, back, legs or other body areas may welcome laser hair removal with relief.
Lasers produce highly focused, intense beams of light. Dark pigments in the hair follicles beneath the skin’s surface absorb this light and convert it to heat, destroying the follicles and preventing hair growth for up to two years.
Multiple treatments are required for complete hair removal. Treatments are needle-free and do not require anesthesia. Most patients feel nothing more than a slight sting like the snap of a rubber band.
It is possible that some hair will grow back, though it is usually finer and lighter than what was originally removed. There may also be some redness and swelling following the procedure.

Laser Skin Resurfacing
 Laser light is absorbed by water or dark pigments in our body's tissues (such as melanin in the skin and hemoglobin in the blood) and converted to heat. A variety of functional and cosmetic skin problems can be treated with lasers. These lasers are often specialized to handle a particular type of problem; there is no "cure-all" laser capable of correcting all problems.
Lasers offer many advantages over traditional, mechanical technology, including "bloodless" surgery, reduced risk of infection, less scarring, high precision, limited injury, and faster procedures.
Laser treatments can reduce the appearance of sun damage, acne scars, stretch marks, sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, vascular lesions (spider veins and redness on the face) and uneven pigmentation.
