UltraShape™

UltraShape™ has developed a totally non-invasive body contouring treatment that effectively and safely reduces unsightly fat deposits in men and women. UltraShape™ requires no downtime, no follow up maintenance, and no recuperation period. The safe and effective procedure - ranging between 45 to 60 minutes, can treat multiple areas like the abdomen, flanks and thighs. Following treatment, patients can immediately resume their daily routines.

Clinical results show an average waistline reduction of four centimeters and as much as ten centimeters after 3 treatments.

BBL Technology

Broad Band Light (BBL) technology uses high-energy pulses of light to provide long-lasting results. BBL skin resurfacing, collagen stimulation, vein therapy and photoepilation improve skin texture and appearance and remove hair from any area of the body without damaging nearby tissue. Hair, veins or pigmented regions on the skin surface selectively absorb the pulses of light, shrinking or fading after treatment; collagen tightens, smoothing the skin. Patients can return to work and all regular activities immediately after the procedure. Skin appearance should improve soon after treatment. Hair loss is immediate and long-lasting.

Sciton ProFractional™ Laser Resurfacing

ProFractional™ is a quick and comfortable laser procedure with little to no downtime, used for improving the overall appearance of your skin. ProFractional™ uses a laser microbeam to treat thousands of pinpoint areas of your skin. And because only a fraction of the skin is directly treated with the laser, healing time is quick and downtime is short.

ProFractional™ can be used to improve a wide variety of skin conditions, but is used most for:

BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX® Cosmetic is commonly used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles. It is injected under the skin into areas surrounding the eyes, forehead and mouth to smooth crow's feet, frown and worry lines, and lines on the neck. Made from a purified protein, BOTOX® relaxes wrinkles and gives the face a rejuvenated look. BOTOX® may also be useful for migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and eye and neck muscle spasms.

Facial Fillers

Facial fillers such as Restylane®, Juvederm™, Radiesse® and Sculptra™ are injected under the skin to "plump up," contour and smooth wrinkles, lines and hollow areas in the face and to augment the lips or cheeks for a younger, fuller appearance. Drs. Gaston and Karl Schwarz will discuss the benefits of each filler and recommend the proper treatment based on your needs and expectations.

LightSheer Hair Removal

Forget shaving, waxing, tweezing and electrolysis - LightSheer provides long-lasting hair removal on any area of the body. LightSheer uses high-energy pulses of light to remove unwanted hair from the face, back, legs, bikini line and other areas without damaging nearby tissue. First, a cold gel is applied to the skin. Then the LightSheer handpiece is moved back and forth across the selected area. Hair beneath the skin surface absorbs the light and heats up, loosening from the follicles and eventually falling out. Patients can return to work and all regular activities immediately after the procedure. Hair loss begins immediately and is long-lasting, with some permanent thinning. Several treatments may be desired for optimal results.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels remove damaged outer layers of skin on the face to smooth texture, reduce scarring, and remove blemishes and pre-cancerous growths to produce healthy, glowing skin. Peel formulas and strengths are tailored to each patient. Peels can be combined with other procedures such as facelifts for a younger look.

Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion removes a layer of surface skin to improve the appearance of facial scarring due to acne, chicken pox, injury or other causes, as well as uneven pigmentation, wrinkles, sun damage, tattoos, age spots and certain kinds of skin lesions. The skin is frozen, typically with a spray, and then abraded with a high-speed rotary instrument for a dramatically smoother, fresher look. After the procedure it is normal to feel a sensation similar to sunburn for a week or so, at which time most patients are able to return to work. The newly revealed skin will likely appear pinker than usual for two to three months. Patients should be sure to adequately protect skin from sunlight.
