What is a PDO threadlift? PDO threads can either be lifting threads or smooth threads. Lifting threads help to reposition the fat pads and lift up on the cheek area and jowl area. They are not a facelift but can lift greater than filler alone.
We are so excited to introducte PICOSURE (made by Cynosure, Westford, MA, www.cynosure.com) at our laser center.
Picosure is an FDA approved pico second pulsed laser that takes tattoo laser removal to a different level. Over the past 20 years there has been minimal advancement in laser tattoo removal. The standard q switched or nano pulsed laser has been the laser of choice which is pulsed a one-one thousandth of a second to help shatter pigment. We typically tell patients that the nanosecond laser can take from 5-20 treatments to remove a tattoo depending on the color, location, baseline skin color etc.
The PICOSURE is pulsed at one-one trillionth of a second! That is a significant advancement that uses not only photothermal but photomechanical effects to shatter the pigmentation to better clear the tattoo. Typically it takes from 2-8 treatments separated by 4-6 weeks. This minimizes the time a patient must wait to clear the tattoo.
Our center is the 20th center in the US to have this technology. Now there are roughly 30 PICOSURE lasers in the US.
We are currently enrolling in clinical studies with the PICOSURE. If you have a tattoo and would like to have it removed, schedule a complimentary consultation and we will see if you are a good candidate for the study.

Filler to the lips can bring back the volume that is lost and can smoothen the appearance of the lips
Why I love IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) to target the brown benign sun spots and for capillaries on the face. This is my go to for generalized Photodamage and for my Rosacea Patients.
Restoring volume and structure back to the face, can create such a difference. Juvederm Voluma for the jawline and cheek area and Juvederm Ultra for the lips are two of may favorite.
Botox and Xeomin are neuromodulators that we routinely use in the practice to help minimize the dynamic wrinkling
