Liposuction
The tumescent technique has revolutionized the
art of body contouring. A combination of saline solution, local
anesthesia and adrenaline is infused into the areas of fat. Small
instruments called cannulas are attached to a suction machine and
then passed through small incisions to remove the fat deposits.
This technique allows safe removal of unwanted fat that will not
go away with dieting and exercise. The best candidates are those
that are slightly or moderately overweight with distinct areas of
localized fat.
Microdermabrasion
Commonly referred to as the 'power peel,' microdermabrasion
is performed with a machine that uses air and fine particles to
gently 'sand' the surface of the skin. Revitalization of the skin
is fullest when a series of 6 treatments is given at 1-2 week intervals.
This is truly a 'lunchtime' procedure, with patients exPeriencing
only slight redness after the treatment.
Spider Veins
Spider veins are wavy, thin, superficial veins
that appear as a normal part of aging and are most noticeable on
the face and legs. A new laser is now available that can virtually
erase many of these veins by delivering light energy to seal the
veins shut. A chilled tip cools the skin during the treatment, enhancing
patient comfort and allowing many patients to be treated without
the need for anesthesia. Most patients need between one and three
30-minute session to achieve a successful result.
