Spider veins, or telangiectasias, are small, thin blood vessels visible beneath the skin. They appear most commonly on the face and legs and may look like a series of lines, tree branches, or spider/web like shapes with a dark center. It is estimated that they affect nearly half of adult women in the U.S.
Spider veins are caused by a variety of factors, including heredity, pregnancy, weight gain, long periods of standing, and certain medications. They often appear red or blue, and because they form on the face, thighs, calves and ankles, many patients are bothered by the way they look. Others seek medical treatment for uncomfortable symptoms such as aching, burning, swelling, and cramping.
New technology allows us to treat spider veins without surgery or an extended hospital stay and long recovery. Laser ablation takes only 45 minutes in two sessions. The procedure is painless and does not require anesthesia. The laser aims carefully controlled pulses of narrow-wavelength light at the damaged veins. The veins absorb the light and heat up, then collapse and close. They are then gradually re-absorbed by the body. Normal activities can be resumed immediately.
Sclerotherapy Manhattan
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.
Aurora - Pigmented Lesions / Sun damage / Telangiectasia Manhattan
The Aurora laser
is the newest development in skin technology powered by (elos). Unlike other laser and light based technology which use only one energy source, the Aurora combines light and radiofrequency energies to get superior results with lower overall energy output which provides the highest level of safety and comfort to the patient. The combined Bi-Polar Radio Frequency energies of elos technology precisely target pigmented lesions such as freckles, sun spots and age spots. Vascular lesions such as spider veins and redness from rosacea are also lightened and gradually fade. There is virtually no down time with this treatment. An added benefit is that it is not painful, especially when we use a topical anesthetic.
Aurora™ System - Intense pulse light and radiofrequency laser gets rid of freckles, sun spots, little vessels around the nose and reduce redness over the face.
eTwo - Complete Facial Rejuvination
Sublime and Sublative revolutionary combination of lasers is non-invasive, effective on all skin types and requires minimal downtime. The sublime technology uses the elos combination of IR and bi-polar RF to provide controlled deep dermal heating. This heating of the deep dermis both stimulates and shortens aged collagen fibers, resulting in immediate and longterm improvement of wrinkles and facial contour.
Sublative technology delivers bipolar radiofrequency energy. The fractional delivery of RF energy causes micro-epidermal ablative injuries with wider-spread dermal coagulation. This initiates a strong wound healing response in the dermal matrix leading to a smoother, rejuvinated appearance of the skin.
eMAX™ - Fine lines and Wrinkles Manhattan
The elos™ technology is the safest, most effective and comfortable aesthetic technology available. eMAX™ is an elos™ product that can treat a wide range of hair colors, skin tone, and skin texture. This unique combination of radio frequency and infra-red light isolate the treatment area and leave the surrounding skin free from potentially harmful side effects. This unique heating produces results at both the surface and deep dermal levels. The two technologies tighten and lift the skin and create a non-surgical face-lift. Because of this, eMAX™ can be used to perform the ReFirme™ Skin tightening treatment.
FDA-approved, ReFirme anti-aging treatments lift and smooth the skin to achieve non-invasive facial rejuvenation by targeting loose skin on the jowls and neck, sagging areas under the eyes, drooping brow lines, and prominent nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth). After treatment, the skin becomes noticeably smoother, more luminous and toned. ReFirme treatments are fast, safe, virtually painless and effective, and require no downtime. They can be used on the face, neck, upper arms, abdomen and knees.
Fractional CO2 Resurfacing Manhattan
Matrix™ 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. Matrix™ 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.
Fraxel re:store Dual
This new technology offers patients a new process that can achieve results comparable to superficial fractional CO2 treatments with minimal down time.This revolutionary technology is able to precisely treat thousands of microscopic areas of skin, using pinpoint laser beams that penetrate beneath the skins surface to eliminate old, damaged skin cells. The Fraxel treatment stimulates the body's own natural healing process which replaces damaged skin with fresh, glowing, healthy skin. It is safe and effective on delicate areas like the neck, chest and hands to remove age/sun spots, wrinkles, acne scars and pigmented areas.
Vbeam Laser
The Vbeam uses an intense beam of light, delivered in long pulses, to gently remove unwanted, damaged, or diseased cells without harming the surrounding healthy cells. Vascular lesions (spider veins and hemangiomas) and pigmented lesions (brown age spots and freckles) can usually be removed virtually pain free with one or two treatments.
Matrix CO2 Fractional Skin Resurfacing
the high speed Ultrafine Fractional Scanner directs a grid pattern of tiny pulses of light at the skin. Each pulse delivers a column of energy that can reach the skin's dermal layer. This stimulates a natural renewal process of the body's own collagen. Treatments with the Matrix Fractional CO2 laser enhance the skin's strength and elasticity.This laser is effective on almost all skin types to treat wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, sun damage and pigmented lesions.
Ulthera
Ultherapy's ultrasound energy reaches below the surface of the skin to initiate the body's own natural repair process. As the skin matures, collagen fibers that provide internal support become worn. Because the rejuvenation process occurs naturally, results occur gradually.Over a period of 2-3 months skin firming and toning results in the elevation of the brow,softening the wrinkles around the eyes, a shifting of the cheek tissue upward, an improvement in the folds and lines around the nose and mouth and reduced sagging under the chin.
