Sclerotherapy

Hormones, genetics, extended periods of sitting or standing, aging, and pregnancy have all been known to cause spider veins. These are the thin red, purple, or bluish veins that can appear on the calves, thighs, ankles, and even face. Technically referred to as telangiectasias, or sunburst varicosities, these veins cause more than aesthetic displeasure: night cramps, burning, and swelling are also linked to these abnormal veins. Fortunately, most spider veins can be treated through sclerotherapy.

The sclerotherapy procedure involves injecting a sclerosing agent into the spider veins, causing them to collapse and diminish in appearance and size. After the injections are complete, the area may be wrapped in compression garments to enhance the results of the treatment and facilitate the healing process.

If you are interested in receiving sclerotherapy, or would like additional information on this procedure, please contact Dr. Samuels.

Microdermabrasion

If you have been frustrated by residual sunspots, age spots, persistent lip lines, crow's feet, or acne scars, microdermabrasion can significantly improve these common blemishes. By removing the dead and damaged outer layer of skin cells, and facilitating the regeneration of healthier, new cells, microdermabrasion can help patients achieve a clearer, naturally beautiful complexion.

Receiving microdermabrasion is easy, and most patients report very minimal discomfort. Using a specialized hand tool, the targeted skin is exfoliated; then a small suction device is used to lift off the dead skin cells. Multiple microdermabrasion treatments are recommended to produce maximum benefits and encourage continued collagen and elastin regeneration. However, the results of just one 30- to 60-minute treatment can leave patients with fresher, glowing skin.

Schedule your microdermabrasion appointment today, or learn more by contacting The Hair and Cosmetic Dermatology Center.

Chemical Skin Peel

A chemical peel uses various forms of acids to essentially remove blemished skin and cause the unblemished underlying skin to take its place. Depending upon the severity of the skin damage, chemical peels are available in different strengths. One of the most popular chemical peels is the glycolic acid peel, which is capable of reducing fine lines and wrinkles, correcting pigment problems, and removing blemishes.

Recovery time after a chemical peel depends upon the strength of the treatment. However, all skin peels require regular moisturizing and extreme sun protection.

To find out which type of chemical peel is right for you, please contact Dr. Lawrence Samuels.

Enzyme Skin Peel

An enzyme peel is a gentle peel that enhances normal skin processes. The enzyme peel is similar to a chemical peel in that it improves the texture and coloration of the skin, and minimizes lines, wrinkles, and sun damage. However, it does so with the natural power of organic substances called enzymes. Enzymes are able to break down and dissolve dead skin cells, as well as catalyze and speed up the growth process of healthy, new cells.

Enzyme peels offer a method of skin enhancement without the use of chemicals, and can give patients that youthful radiance they desire. Schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Samuels today to learn more about the amazing benefits of our enzyme skin peels.

Lipodissolve™

Lipodissolve™ is the latest advancement in body-shaping technology for patients who do not want to undergo surgery. With the help of a pharmaceutical mixture including phosphatidylcholine, Dr. Samuels and his skilled staff use a series of micro-injections to dissolve the fat in a targeted area. Lipodissolve™ should not be confused with mesotherapy; Lipodissolve™ uses a different medication mixture and produces faster results.

While Lipodissolve™ remains a relatively new treatment, treatments to the belly area, love handles, thighs, buttocks, and other parts of the body have shown excellent results. Dr. Samuels and his trained medical staff can design a treatment plan for your desired results and lifestyle. Contact us today.
