Botox fights the signs of aging by relaxing the underlying muscles which cause wrinkles and lines to appear on the skin. One common use for Botox is in treating the deep frown lines which often appear between ones eyebrows. Not only do frown lines make you look older, they can also make you appear angry or upset, even when you are happy. Crow's feet around the eyes can also add years to ones appearance and make you look like you are squinting most of the time. It is important to remember that not all facial wrinkles are related to the activity of underlying muscles. Sun exposure, the natural maturing process and smoking can contribute to wrinkles. While less effective against these "static wrinkles", Botox injections may still help improve the overall appearance of the skin when used in combination with filling substances.

This is a minimally invasive approach to facial lifting using the patented "Aptos Threads". These threads are inserted under the skin to lift the sagging areas. Once released internally the facial features will remain anchored in their new positions. The fact that the threads can be "touched up" in the upcoming years to maintain the natural and youthful appearance obtained, makes this invention invaluable. Before this, the only resource available was the traditional facelift with all its risks, trauma prolonged downtime and high cost.

Spider veins are small dilated blood vessels that have a red or bluish color and are most commonly found on the legs. They usually pose no health hazard, but may produce a dull aching in the legs after prolonged standing. Varicose veins are abnormally swollen or enlarged blood vessels caused by a weakening in the vein's wall. They can be harmful to a patient's health. We treat these veins with a procedure called Sclerotherapy. This involves an injection of a solution directly into the blood vessel. The solution irritates the lining of the vessel causing it to swell and stick together. After a period of weeks the vein turns into scar tissue that fades, eventually becoming barely noticeable or invisible.

Hair transplantation surgery takes hair from the back of the head, the horseshoe shaped area between the ears, which is called the donor site. It is then transplanted into an area of hair loss. The donor site hair is hair which will continue to grow throughout the life of most men. Having this hair transplanted to a bald area does not change its ability to grow. We use the new single follicular grafting technique which allows the transplanted hair to be placed with 1, 2 or 3 hair units. This creates a much more natural appearance and allows us to customize each transplant with a design which is perfectly suited to each individual patient. This also allows for dense packing which makes the much desired fullness possible.
