Using revolutionary techniques, called Lipodissolve or Mesotherapy, fat simply dissolves away. 

Lipodissolve or injection lipodissolution is a simple, relatively painless office procedure that destroys fat cells. No bandages or dressings are required, and bruising is minimal. Mesotherapy is less expensive than liposuction and there is no recuperation time, so patients may return to normal activities soon after treatment.

Lipodissolve/Mesotherapy is effective for targeting spot fat pads.  Sagging chins and eyelids,  heavy thighs, abdomen, hips and buttocks can be reduced.  Cellulite gives the "hail damage" appearance to buttocks and thighs.  A combination of Lipodissolve and collagenase injections are used to smooth the body contour.

Lipodissolve injections contain two natural products that act as a detergent and emulsifier to permanently destroy fat cells.  Within a few minutes the area turns red and there may be some itching.  Over the next several hours swelling and discomfort develop as the body mounts an inflammatory response.  Over the next few days the area shrinks leaving a smoother contour.  The number of treatments needed depends on the amount of fat to be removed.  This is a sculpting procedure rather than a weight loss program.  If the body mass index is greater than 30 a weight loss program is more appropriate, then we may use Lipodissolve on the fat that remains after weight reduction.  The exception is the double chin, which responds well even in obese patients.  We use body sculpting on the chin to help people with sleep apnea.

Whether you are a man or a woman Lipodissolve is an affordable medical procedure consisting of small injections of natural substances that disrupt fat cells.  You may have a complimentary body analysis by Dr. Bruce to see if this procedure will be beneficial for your body type.

Mesolift tightens and rejuvenates the skin and Mesoglo produces a healthy radiance to the face.

 

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a non-surgical, physician-administered aesthetic treatment for moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people ages 18 to 65. BOTOX® Cosmetic works by reducing the contractions of the muscles that cause those persistent frown lines that have developed over time.  A very small quantity of quantity of the botulinin toxin is injected into the muscles that cause the wrinkles.  The muscle relaxes for three to six months.  After repeated treatments the effect can become permanent.  We only use the brand BOTOX manufactured by Allergan.  We will not use the less expensive substitutes so we can assure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.

 

 
 
Sclerotherapy is a procedure to eliminate spider veins and small varicose veins.  These unsightly veins are caused by the effects of gravity and increased pressure.  The varicose veins are not useful and elimination does not effect blood return to the heart.  A concentrated saline solution is injected with a very small needle into the vein.  Contact with the salt solution causes damage to the vein wall.  Compression is applied for the next 24 hours to allow the walls of the veins to collapse and stop the blood flow.  The aftercare with compression is an essential part of the treatment to prevent the vein from opening before it is sclerosed.
 
Collagen fillers are injected into medium to deep wrinkles to give the face a more youthful appearance.  The collagen is crosslinked by a chemical reaction to resist degradation by the body.  Some fillers are thicker and last longer than others.  We have a variety of  fillers available to reduce various wrinkle types.  Click here for pictures.
 
Cosmeceuticals are pharmacy grade skin nutrients.  Recent advances in dermatology research have produced some excellent topical agents.  We have Nia24 and other skin nutrients available only through doctor offices.
