VASCULAR LASERS
Spider veins, red birthmarks and port-wine
stains- these dilated vascular birthmarks can range from
unattractive to disfiguring. Particularly when the red
markings are present on the face or neck, they can be a source
of psychological and social distress.
Traditional treatment methods for vascular
malformations have included cryosurgery, (freezing the
birthmark), conventional surgery, ablative laser surgery and the
use of steroid medications. These treatments can be
effective, though sometimes painful, and often associated with
lengthy recovery times. They may damage healthy skin and
result in scarring.
"Watch birthmarks fade away - at the speed
of light!"
Modern ND-Yag vascular lasers selectively target
diseased blood vessels while sparing surrounding tissues.
Furthermore, contemporary vascular lasers are non-ablative,
which means they do not cause skin sloughing. As our
vascular lasers have long wavelengths, they penetrate the skin
and selectively target the diseased birthmark, while leaving the
skin intact.
Don't like a red birthmark? Are unwanted
red bumps or blotches becoming annoying? Modern ND-Yag
laser treatments can quickly and comfortably eliminate these
problems, without surgery or down-time.
Since vascular lesions may benefit from either
ND-Yag therapy or sclerotherapy, we offer consultations to
outline a specific plan for your individual situation.

BOTOX
More than a cosmetic
breakthrough, this is the medicine which began the
non-surgical revolution. Botox has been ranked by the
American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery as the most
popular aesthetic procedure for the 4th year in a row.
Over 3 million treatments were performed last year alone.
Why is Botox still so wildly popular?
To shed some light on this
issue, let's consider the following scenario: Pam, a
hardworking mom, notices the furrows and frown-lines between
her eyebrows becoming etched deeper and deeper on her
forehead. The lines in addition to making her look
anxious and angry, make her just feel... well... just plain
old. Here is where the magic of Botox comes in.
With just one quick 10 minute procedure - a few tiny
injections administered in the trouble areas-years of
wrinkles gently melt away, within days of the treatment.
And, the new relaxed look can last for months, with
successive treatments typically being increasingly
effective. Furthermore, since Botox relaxes the
muscles which cause wrinkles to form, regular treatments can
also help to slow new wrinkle formation. But it all
comes back to is this- what other treatment can turn back
the clock 5 to 10 years with a quick 10 minute treatment.
Is it any wonder Botox is so popular?
Another plus is that results
look natural. As opposed to the drastic changes of
plastic surgery, Botox produces gentle, gradual changes in
the skin-leaving others to wonder what it is that is making
you look younger. And as for discomfort, most patients
compare the treatment sensation to a bug bite.
Why waste another penny on
ineffective wrinkle creams and lotions- why not consider the
procedure which has received the highest rating for patient
satisfaction of all physician-administered treatments,
several years in a row. Has the cost kept you from
trying it? Actually, compared to other facial aesthetic
procedures, Botox is one of the least expensive options
available, yet has the top patient satisfaction.
Furthermore, you can feel confident that you are in expert
hands at Advanced Skin and Laser, as we are proud to be
members of the official Botox Cosmetic Physician's Network.
To provide you the widest treatment options available, we
stay abreast the latest techniques in Botox administration.
From crow's feet and worry lines, to smoker's and frown
lines, during your personal consultation, our professionals
can design a treatment plan best suited for your individual
goals.

DERMAL FILLERS
Are facial wrinkles, thinning lips, or skin
folds making you look older than you feel? Consider
Juvederm, a premier dermal filler. Since its introduction in
2006, Juvederm has become one of the most widely used
wrinkle filler in the U.S.
“Sculpted
lips... in 30 minutes”
Juvederm safely and naturally smooths folds and wrinkles,
and plumps even the thinnest lips. The perfect compliment
to the wrinkle-relaxer Botox, Juvederm works by filling-in
wrinkles and adding volume to the skin. Stubborn wrinkles
are erased and lips are augmented, creating fuller, sensuous
lips. You can enjoy more pronounced lips or a soft,
pouting look with a simple, 30 minute Juvederm treatment.
“A natural beauty lift…”
Unlike collagen injections, no skin testing is
required with Juvederm. Older collagen injections were
derived from cow collagen, requiring sensitivity testing.
Juvederm is made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance
already present in our bodies. This eliminates any
risk of animal-based disease transmission and minimizes
allergic reactions.
“A new look… without
surgery…”
Another reason for Juvederms's popularity, is
that years are taken off without looking artificial.
Many don't want the drastic changes of surgery, but prefer a
natural, but younger look. And with surgery, there is
always the little problem of what to do if you hate your new
look! Juvederm's effect is long lasting, but not
permanent, so it is easy to try out a new look.
Since Juvederm lasts about twice as long as
collagen injections, treatments are more economical. Many
areas can be treated such as the lips, folds between the nose
and corner of the mouth and 'marionette lines', deep lines
extending downward from the corners of the mouth. Vertical
lines around the lips are particularly popular, since left
untreated lipstick can bleed into these lines, leading some to
call these irritating wrinkles, 'lipstick lines'.
Of course, other fillers are also available,
with each having unique and specific benefits.
Ready to soften those tell-tale facial lines?
Want fuller, kissable lips? Let us help determine if Juvederm is
right for you!

VEIN
TREATMENT
No one cares for unsightly spider or varicose veins.
Here in Arizona, where it is shorts weather year round, these
unsightly veins are even more undesirable. However, when
deciding how to get rid of the annoying veins, the decision can
be daunting. Today there are superficial lasers, salt
injections and light sources which claim to treat varicose
veins. In truth, all of these modalities will fail if the
origin of the problem is not first sought out.
We have a branch of our practiced dedicated exclusively to
vein care; it is called Advanced Vein Center. We are
experts in treatment of veins, with thousands of non-surgical
vein treatments performed. We recommend treatment options
only after performing a careful examination to determine the
source of the unwanted spider or varicose veins. We have
the latest modalities available to safely and effectively
treat any size varicose vein. Employing endovascular laser
ablation and ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy, we have
helped many patients avoid painful vein stripping surgery.
Our office accepts most insurance plans and handles all of the
insurance paperwork for you.
If you have trouble with varicose veins or spider veins, you
deserve to be well informed about today's modern treatment
options. For this reason, we have a separate website which
thoroughly describes our approach to vein treatment.
