Btechnology and dermatologic science in recent years have put new proven tools in the hands of skilled medical specialists, enabling greatly enhanced outcomes in non-surgical body contouring, skin tightening and hair restoration for those with hair loss or thinning hair. In addition, it has improved many cosmetic treatments as well as the treatment of many skin diseases and skin conditions. Here are three of the most important technologies that we employ in our offices every day.
LASER, ULTRASONIC, AND RADIOFREQUENCY TREAT-
MENTS are used for conditions that in years past required surgery or more painful topical treatments, including permanent hair removal that is now quick and easy with minimal discomfort. These high technology laser platforms and robotic instruments allow for elimination of skin discoloration on the face, chest, arms and legs. They also allows non-surgical fat reduction, body contouring, skin tightening and elimination of unsightly blood vessels on the face and extremities. The new laser technology of the LBO laser can treat acne rosacea and its associated redness of the skin.
ADVANCED DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
AND PRECISION ROBOTICS provide permanent and more natural solutions for hair loss. Your own hair is transplanted into thinning areas where it grows naturally as it did before, creating a natural appearance for your hairline. The Artas IX robot can extract individual hair follicles eliminating the linear scar created by the surgical excision technique which requires sutures to be removed in 10 days after the surgical procedure. The individual hair follicles are examined under the microscope before placing them in thinning or balding area of the scalp. This creates a totally natural look versus the antiquated plug technique. In addition, we have advance hair scanning technology in order to determine the cause of your hair thinning or shedding ,as there are several treatment modalities to treat hair thinning and baldness. Although there are topical and oral treatments to stimulate hair follicles, the most advanced non-surgical treatment is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections. Your own activated plasma is used is used to stimulate the hair follicles to grow longer and thicker.
ADVANCED DIGITAL PLATFORM
TECHNOLOGY allows a single power source to have various handpieces which allow laser treatments, radio frequency treatments, ultrasonic treatments, shock wave therapy and skin pen treatments improving skin tightening, laser hair removal, elimination of brown spots and the treatment of other skin diseases and skin conditions. Whether we are addressing aesthetic goals, treatments of common skin diseases or complex skin conditions, our mission is to deliver superior dermatology treatments and education.
