COSMETIC DERMATOLOGY

Botox®Cosmetic/Dysport®

We all know that a daily skin care regimen is essential for healthy skin. But when it comes to treating deeper lines between the eyebrows, that is often not enough. Botox®Cosmetic and Dysport® are prescription injections used to disable the muscles that contract to make facial wrinkles and lines and provide temporary improvement in the look of moderate to severe lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines and crow’s feet around the eyes. Effects may be seen anywhere from 2 to 7 days and usually last 3- 4 months. There is little to no downtime needed following the procedure.

Spider Vein Treatment

Spider veins are very small thin clusters of red, blue or purple veins that lie close to the surface of the skin. They can appear anywhere on the body, but they are most commonly on the legs and have tiny branch-like or spider web patterns.

Spider veins are very common. Heredity is the most common factor in the development of these conditions. Pregnancy, hormonal changes, weight gain, and lack of exercise are also believed to be contributing factors. Prolonged periods of sitting or standing, sun damage, injuries and some skin diseases can also cause spider veins. Sclerotherapy is a quick, safe and relatively simple procedure to treat unwanted spider veins.

This procedure can be performed in the office with minimal discomfort. We use a hypertonic saline solution, a sclerosing agent injected into the affected veins with a very small needle. The sclerosing solution causes damage to the inner lining of the veins forcing it to close up or collapse. The blood flow is redirected through healthier veins. Three or more sessions are usually necessary to achieve optimal results.
