Love handles. Tummy rolls. Flabby neck and chin. Women and men alike are troubled by the appearance of fat and cellulite in certain areas of the body. When age catches up to us and diet and exercise fail to produce the desired results, Smartlipo® can be the answer.

Whether it's on the face, legs, arms, underarms or bikini line, most of us have hair we could live without. Wouldn't it be great if we no longer had to shave, wax, tweeze or use depilatories? With laser hair removal, you don't have to.

Our lasers can treat patients of all skin types on any body surface. Using the Nd:YAG laser or the intense pulsed light, our medical laser specialists will individualize your treatment plan. All with minimal discomfort and no down time. As we like to say: "laser today, beach tomorrow."

Wrinkles and laxity of skin are generally a natural result of the aging process. Perhaps you are annoyed by the appearance of sagging skin on the face, neck or chest. Or maybe you have a "tired" facial appearance, and want to look younger. At Dermacare, we have many ways to help you turn back the face and hands of time without the drastic measures of plastic or cosmetic surgery.

• Fine lines of the upper face are caused by repetitive activity of facial muscles giving you the frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and crow's feet. Botox can bring a natural, well-rested, less-stressed appearance
• Deeper wrinkles of the lower face are due to deep tissue volume loss and the effects of gravity. Your nasolabial folds, smile lines, marionette lines, and downturned corners of the mouth can be corrected with Restylane or other dermal fillers.
• Thin Lips: Volumen loss and vertical expression lines in your lips usually occur with age. Whether it is to enhance your natural lips or replace the volume loss, fillers like Restylane can give you the look you want.
• Skin Laxity: The effects of gravity on the face contribute to nasolabial folds, jowls, and drooping brows. Loss of elasticity leads to loose skin of the neck and under the chin. Our "thermal lift" with our laser Titan can tighten the skin by stimulating collagen production for 6 months. This "thermal lift" also works well for loose skin of the abdomen after pregnancy or weight loss, above the knees and elbows, and the upper arms. There are no side effects or down time - and unlike Thermage, no real pain.

Why waste your money on another lotion or potion that promises smoother skin and smaller pores when we have safe, painless lasers that deliver real and lasting results?

• Medlite Skin Rejuvenation and Laser Genesis treatments both build and remodel collagen under the surface of the skin. Medlite clears out the debris in the pores from blackheads and Genesis eliminates diffuse redness.
• Our skin resurfacing lasers, Fraxel 2 and Active Fx, take smooth skin and refined pores to a whole new level. Dermacare offers a number of treatment options to even out the skin tone. Make an appointment with a highly trained Dermacare consultant to find out which laser is right for you. With minimal discomfort and minimal or no- down time, why wait any longer for smoother skin?

Whether from birth, sun damage or injury, most individuals suffer from pigment imperfection on one or more parts of the body.

• Age spots, brown spots, hyperpigmentation
• Freckles, birth marks
• Brown spots from sun damage can make you look older than your years - especially on the face, chest and hands.
• Melasma, or "the mask of pregnancy"
• Scars and Stretchmarks, whether from acne, surgery, traumatic injury, or pregnancy can all improve with Fraxel 2 laser. This state-of-the-art, non-ablative, resurfacing laser is FDA approved to treat all these conditions. Our medical specialists have done hundreds of Fraxel 2 treatments since its release last fall and we are seeing tremendous results.

Are you one of the 90% of women plagued by cellulite? Most women, and even many men, are troubled by the unsightly "grapefruit peel" appearance of fat under the skin, specifically in areas of the stomach, upper arms, hips, thighs and buttocks.

You can have a smoother, less lumpy appearance with TriActive from CynoSure, a painless treatment used to reduce and even eliminate cellulite. When Triactive is combined with Smartlipo the results are even greater. Best of all, there is virtually no downtime; patients can resume normal activity immediately.

No tattoos, no scars, no regrets. It's all yours with MedLite® laser tattoo removal. The technique removes tattoos by using light energy that is absorbed by the ink. The rapid absorption of light causes the ink to break down into tiny particles, which is later filtered naturally by the body. The surrounding skin is left alone, and there's no scarring. Several sessions may be required for optimal results.

Are you troubled by the appearance of small or large, superficial or deep veins on the face, legs or elsewhere?

• Diffuse redness and flushing on the face is caused by the small capillaries hiding just under the surface, and can be eliminated with Laser Genesis
• Rosacea is an inflammation of the skin that can cause even more severe facial redness.
• Facial telangectasia, the visible when the tiniest veins sitting on the skin's surface became visible, they can be targeted with the LimeLight FotoFacial. For the larger, more discrete facial vessels, Laser Vein Removal with the CoolGlide Nd:YAG is the way to go.
• Spider veins or the larger blue reticular veins of the legs can also be treated with these lasers. For certain skin types and vein problems, sclerotherapy, an injectable therapy for spider and varicose veins, may be the best option. Your Dermacare therapist can recommend the treatment that works for you.

While more prevalent in teenagers, acne and pimples can affect individuals of all ages. If you are one of the millions of people who suffer from light to severe recurrent acne, Dermacare can help. For patients with mild acne, frequent Blu-U treatments alone or photodynamic therapy may be adequate. The procedure is simple and non-invasive, so there's no recovery time.
