Laser Hair Removal
For many women and men, unwanted
hair can be a nuisance…or even a nightmare. Until
recently,
removing it was uncomfortable, inconvenient, expensive
and time-consuming. With the exception of electrolysis,
which can be prohibitively expensive and painful, most
other methods are temporary at best. But that has all
changed.Today, with the remarkable advances in laser
technology, unwanted hair is being removed safely and
affordably. Laser Hair Removal has been extensively
researched, tested and proven highly effective in permanently
reducing unwanted hair. It works on just about any treatment
area of the body where smooth skin is desired.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a
purified protein which
reduces the activity of the muscle that cause frown
lines. It is the only treatment of its type approved
by the FDA for treatment of expression lines. A simple
10 minute treatment, a few tiny injections leaving a
fresh, rejuvenated look that can last up to 4 months
or more. (Results may vary). Dr. Desai is a member of
the BOTOX® Cosmetic Physicians Network and has received
advanced training by some of the nations top injectors.

Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are substances
that are injected just below the surface of the skin
to fill in
lines, wrinkles, and scars. Unlike face lifts that stretch
the skin, fillers add volume for a more natural youthful
appearance. Fillers can also increase the fullness of
the lips (see section on lip enhancement) and lessen
the downward slant of the corner of lips. The most common
areas treated are the smile lines around the nose and
mouth, fine lines above the mouth, frown lines between
the eyes, and acne scars.

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is the
most natural, non-invasive skin resurfacing process
available. It is a gentle, safe and effective skin
rejuvenation therapy. The topmost epidermal layer is
removed by gently abrading the skin while at the same
time dead skin cells are vacuumed away in a sterile
and controlled manner.
Microdermabrasion minimizes the appearance of common
cosmetics ailments such as sun damaged skin, fine lines,
acne and trauma scars, age spots, aging hands, dull
skin, oily skin and hyper-pigmentation.
A.S.A.L Lipodissolveô
Lipodissolve
is the name of standardized treatment protocol used
in treating fat deposits without surgery. The popularity
of the mild treatment is rapidly growing among patients
and clinics throughout the country.
Photorejuvenation
How does AFT pulsed light
technology work?
AFT's
selective pulsed light energy is precisely absorbed
by the target areas, without damaging healthy skin.
Selectively heating and closing off blood vessels, AFT
pulsed light reduces the lesions, while sparing nearby
tissue from injury. With pigmented lesions, the light
energy heats the melanin in the lesion and causes it
to fragment. The melanin fragments are then absorbed
by the body and eliminated. By providing smooth, consistent
light pulses, the energy delivered to the skin is gentle
and effective.
What to expect?
Patients
must consult with a physician to determine their course
of treatment. Physicians set treatment plans according
to the characteristics, such as size and location, of
each patients lesions. Most lesions can be treated within
half an hour, and for best results, repeated treatments
are required. Before treatment, a cold gel is usually
applied to the area to be treated. Then, the physician
delivers precise pulses of light to the target area.
Patients report little or no pain with AFT treatment,
and can return to their normal activities immediately.
Is it safe?
AFT's high
levels of light and gentle energy parameters assure
safe, effective treatment. Uniquely shaped AFT pulses
precisely heat their intended targets, causing remarkably
little or no skin damage or discomfort. This optimal
use of energy both increases safety and eliminates the
need for cooling methods. Clinical trials conducted
by leading authorities on pulsed light document its
safety and effectiveness.
Spider Vein Reduction
How does the Nd:YAG laser work?
Laser light penetrates
the skin, raising the temperature of the blood vessel
and safely coagulating it. Treated veins gradually shrink
and become less visible or disappear altogether. The
laser allows for customized treatment of veins, including
some of those that do not respond to other treatments.
What to expect?
Treatment
may vary from 15-20 minutes. Multiple sessions spanning
several months may be necessary, but the exact number
of treatments depends on the size of the vein and your
blood's ability to heal. During your consultation, you
will receive an estimate of the number of treatments
required to obtain optimal results. No special pre-
or post- treatment care is required, but patients are
advised to limit sun exposure and use sunscreen for
several weeks before and after treatment.
What type of veins can be
treated with laser?
A variety of leg veins, ranging
from the most superficial to deeper blood vessels respond
well to laser therapy. Candidates for this therapy include
'spider veins', very small veins caused by a dilation
of the minute vessels that sit near the skin's surface,
and reticular veins, the small, bluish colored veins
that carry blood to the skin's tiny vessels.
The
laser caused no actual damage to the overlying skin.
However, temporary bruising and darkening of the skin
may result, and will disappear in several days or weeks.
Fading is generally excellent, but it may take several
months to see final results.
