ProceduresAt Southview Dermatology, our physicians specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the skin, hair and nails. The field of dermatology encompasses such conditions as rashes, warts, acne, etc. as well as surgery for skin cancer, cysts and moles. In addition, cosmetic chemical peel treatment of scars and wrinkles, spider vein injections and skin care counseling are in the realm of dermatology. Below are a few common procedures and products that we offer. Please contact us with any questions. Botox Botox is a simple, non-surgical procedure that smoothes the deep, persistent lines between your brows, crow's feet, and forehead lines. Tiny injections relax the muscles that cause those lines to form and keep them relaxed for up to four months. Restylane Restylane is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. Cosmoplast/Cosmoderm Collagen Injections CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast are collagen dermal (skin) fillers made from human collagen and injected just below the skin's surface to smooth wrinkles, fill in deep furrows and folds and restore the lip border. CosmoDerm can fill in the worry lines on your forehead and the frown lines between your eyebrows. CosmoPlast will add definition to your lip border and fill in those annoying vertical lip lines. Laser Hair Removal Through a process called Selective Photothermolysis, laser light is passed through the skin and is absorbed by pigment in the hair follicle. The heat generated by the laser light both injures the follicle and inhibits future growth, while leaving the skin unharmed. We now offer laser treatments to remove unwanted facial and body hair for men and women. The Lyra laser is one of the newest and best technologies available for permanent hair reduction. It offers outstanding results for the widest range of skin types. Our registered nurse performs treatments every few weeks until the desired hair reduction is achieved. Lyra laser is one of the best treatments available for permanent hair reduction. It is the first FDA approved for all skin types.
Chemical Peels A chemical peel exfoliates the top layers of dull skin cells to reveal the softer healthier skin. Chemical peels treat a variety of skin conditions such as environmentally damaged and acne prone skin. A series of peels can improve the tone & texture of sun damaged skin, age spots and fine lines. Types of peels include Beta Lift Peels, TCA Medium and Deep Peels, Glycolic Acid Peels and Combination Peels. Sclerotherapy Sclerotherapy can be used to treat both varicose and spider veins. A tiny needle is used to inject the veins with a medication that irritates the lining of the vein. In response, the veins collapse and are reabsorbed. The surface veins are no longer visible. Sclerotherapy relieves symptoms due to varicose and spider veins in most patients. With this procedure, veins can be dealt with at an early stage, helping to prevent further complications. Laser Removal of Benign Pigmented and Vascular Lesions Vascular lesions are usually due to the abnormal widening of small blood vessels, known as capillaries. Dilated Capillaries (often called broken capillaries, broken veins or broken blood vessels ) are commonly recognized on the cheeks, nose and legs as threadlike red or pink lines that are smaller than spider veins. Laser is the safest and most effective technique to remove dilated capillaries. In addition, other commonly occurring vascular lesions can also be treated with the laser. A dilated capillary merely pools blood within its channel. It is usually functionless. By the time dilated capillaries have appeared, normal capillaries in the same vicinity have taken over their function. The removal of dilated capillaries or other vascular lesions does not adversely affect the local circulation and is considered safe. Laser Removal of Facial & Leg Veins Facial veins are mostly caused by genetics and often made worse by too much sun. Using advanced lasers, a fiberoptic beam is directed at the facial veins. The vessels absorb the energy and most close off immediately. We can also help your legs look and feel better, whatever the condition of your leg veins. Many patients need only a couple of laser treatments to remove unsightly spider veins. The veins absorb the energy and close off. Usually, your leg veins require 2 treatments for optimum clearance. Personalized Skin Care Program Depending on your skin type and existing conditions, our team is able to customize a skin care program just for you. Please call and schedule a consultation for more details. Control of acne is an ongoing process. All acne treatments work by preventing new acne. No matter what special treatments are used, you must continue proper skin care until the tendency to have acne has passed. There is no instant or permanent cure for acne, but it is controllable, and proper treatment may prevent scars. Diet, sunlight, and cosmetics can all have an impact on the severity of acne. Treating acne varies depending on skin type however treatments can range from, non-prescription acne lotion and cream for milder cases to topical creams, gels or lotions with Vitamin A for more severe cases.
Sculptra is becoming a favorite filler for rejuvenating facial skin. Also known as the liquid facelift, it works by filling in lines and wrinkles and by stimulating the body to produce new collagen and underlying tissue. Results will create a fuller, more youthful appearance. Sculptra is FDA-approved. It is an injectable form of poly-L-lactic acid, a biodegradable, biocompatible synthetic polymer from the alpha-hydroxy-acid family.
Sculptra does not require skin testing prior to use. As with most injections, side effect, though minimal, could possibly occur. The most common are redness, swelling and bruising around the treated area. For Current prices and specials, contact us at |
