SmartLipoTM LaserBodySculptingSM | More information Before and After Photos
SmartLipoTM is a laser that disrupts fat cells, it coagulates the underlying vessels. The hemostatic properties of the laser result in less bleeding and bruising, less trauma and less down time. This system also promotes tissue tightening.  It is ideal for treating localized deposits of unwanted fat, fat tissue irregularities, and for coagulating tissue leading to a tightening effect.

It is the first and only laser lipolysis system to offer a revolutionary and minimally invasive procedure for the removal of fat. Using a high-powered laser, Smartlipo is a new LaserBodySculptingSM procedure with less downtime and side-effects than traditional liposuction.

Botox is not just for women. It works well on relaxing the furrow (Corrugator Muscle) between the eyebrows.

Botox Cosmetic
It is a purified protein administered in a simple, nonsurgical procedure that temporarily improves the apperance of moderate to severe lines between the brows, crowsfeet, and forehead. During treatment, very low doses of BOTOX Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those stubborn lines. BOTOX Cosmetic is intramuscular, blocking the chemicals that cause facial muscles to contract, thereby relaxing them. BOTOX Cosmetic is the only product of its kind that affects the muscles that cause moderate to severe lines. Botox lasts 3-4 months. Botox also treats Hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating glands - axilla) and Blepharospasm (uncontrollable eye twitching)

Teeth Whitening

LOOK AND FEEL BEST
Teeth become discolored by age, tobacco use, certain medications, and staining
foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, and red wine. Fortunately, in most
cases our office can whiten teeth that have become stained.  Using the latest technology, we can now perform a complete whitening procedure in a single office visit. Whether you're
18 or 81, a bright smile can boost your confidence and make you feel better about yourself.

ONE SHORT VISIT
Using a Luma Whitening System, the entire whitening process takes less than 1 hour.  Although not everyone can benefit from tooth whitening (it cannot lighten fillings or crowns, for example), most people with heathy teeth are potential candidates.  The entire procedure is done in our office. Your upper and lower teeth are whitened at the same time.  Your new smile can help you look younger, healthier, and more vibrant.  The results may last for years, depending on your lifestyle.

SAFE AND EASY
Although whitening teeth has become popular lately, the idea is not new.  Over time, many technical improvements have been made and the process has been thoroughly studied and safety-tested.  Scientific articles have shown that the materials used by our office to whiten your teeth are effective and safe.  It does not change the structure of teeth; it merely makes them appear whiter and brighter.
The whitening procedure is not painful.  Although some patients experience increased tooth sensitivity, this usually disappears in a day or so.  Even people who are fearful of dental procedures generally find the procedure easy to tolerate.  No heat, no needles or drills are used and you can swallow normally during the procedure.  Protective glasses shade your eyes from the light.

IMMEDIATE RESULTS
Although our office will explain the whitening procedure in greater details, the process is simple.  The whitening light activates the whitening solution that is applied to your teeth, making the whitening process fast and easy.  After several minutes, the light shuts off, the whitening solution is taken off, fresh solution is applied, and the whitening light is turned on again.  This may be repeated a few more times.  Then the whitening solution is removed completely and you can begin to enjoy your new smile.

In less than one hour, our office can whiten your teeth.  Its that simple.  Ask our office about having your teeth whitened with the LUMALITE Whitening System - the fastest, easiest way to a whiter, brighter smile. Talk to any staff member about scheduling your whitening appointment.
