Pulsed Light Hair Removal

Great for a Variety of Skin Types and Ethnic Groups

Pulsed Light treatments are ideal for both large and small body areas on most ethnic groups and skin tones. This advanced technology transcends the older, painful hair removal treatments to deliver long-lasting results. Many factors influence hair growth - age, ethnicity, weight, hormones, diet, metabolism, and medication - all play a part in your hair's location, thickness, and resilience. Pulsed Light treatments slow the growing capacity of follicles in the growth cycle at the time of the treatment. Because the Pulsed Light process affects more than one hair at a time, it is possible to treat larger areas such as the back, shoulders, arms, legs, and face. And as an added benefit, Pulsed Light treatments leave your skin looking and feeling smoother and silkier.

Differs from Electrolysis and Laser Hair Removal

Electrolysis is a much slower process. With electrolysis, a needle is actually inserted into each hair follicle. Once inserted, an electric shock burns the follicle to  growth. Pulsed Light hair reduction treatments only use intense pulsed light energy. This unique process is relatively painless and unlike the laser hair removal process, Pulsed Light works equally well on most skin pigmentations without removing any of the pigment.

More Treatments, More Results

The number of treatments you may require for optimal long-term benefits depends on the area(s) you wish to have treated, the hair density and the hair's growth cycle. Pulsed Light slows the growing capacity of follicles in the growth cycle at the time of the treatment. Since some hair follicles may enter their growth cycle after your treatment, three to five treatments may be required to deliver optimal results.

Laser Tattoo Removal

Tattoo removal allows for the removal of tattoos of various sizes, colors and shapes.  Every tattoo is unique and results will vary from case to case, however tattoo removal offers cutting edge skin care technology that lightens and/or removes unwanted tattoos.

During laser tattoo removal, laser technology is used to selectively target and  break down tattoo ink within the skin without damaging surrounding tissue, which greatly decreases scarring. Lasers have differing wavelengths and pulse durations, and different laser beams are absorbed by specific colors, allowing physicians to choose the precise combination of lasers for the depth and color of a particular tattoo. After treatment the skin is more uniform and natural in appearance, although some changes in skin texture and color may be unavoidable.

How is this cosmetic plastic surgery procedure performed?

For your breast augmentation, an incision is made either under where the dark skin of the areola meets the light skin of the breast (periareolar) or under the breast where it meets the chest wall (inframammary). During your initial consultation, your surgeon will thoroughly discuss the placement of your incision, the pros and cons for you personally and consider your preferences.

A salt water (saline) filled implant or a cohesive gel implants ("gummy bear") is placed either under or above the chest (pectoral) muscle--depending on your breast tissue, body formation, and amount of sagging (ptosis) of the breast. If the implant is placed under the pectoral muscle, simple movement of the arms automatically moves the implant around in its pocket. In some breast augmentation patients, these muscles are extremely active and can distort the implant so it is important to discuss with your surgeon the right implant placement for you. During your consultation, you and your surgeon should also discuss the differences between saline and silicone breast implants.

Your surgeon's goal is to achieve the most natural breast appearance possible. Incisions are made in only 2 areas, periareolar and under the breast. On rare occasions, during the breast enlargement surgery, your surgeon may change the placement of the implant if a more optimum location can be determined. The incision is closed with stitches beneath the skin (subcuticular sutures). The incisions may also be taped for greater support and a gauze bandage applied to help with healing. Peri-areolar Breast Augmentation
This technique involves making incisions around the areola. This is the dark area surrounding the nipple. Because of the placement of the incisions, most residual scarring is hidden by the naturally dark pigment of the areola. Infra-mammary Breast Augmentation
This technique involves making a small incision in the infra mammary fold. This is the fold where the bottom of the breast meets the chest. The incision is placed so any residual scarring will be hidden by the fold of the breast. You may choose to have other cosmetic plastic surgery procedures, such as liposuction, performed in Miami or Fort Lauderdale at the same time as breast enlargement. Please consult directly with your surgeon to devise the best schedule for you.
