Get Ready for Summer With Laser Treatment
Laser treatment isn't just a way to reverse serious skin damage anymore – it's now become the essential pre-summertime fix to get ready for warm weather clothes.
Laser hair removal can quickly remove hair from virtually any body area and even large areas like both full legs can usually be treated in less than an hour. Beautologie uses one of the most effective systems, the LightSheer diode laser system, which delivers energy selectively to the hair follicle to disable it and prevent growth. After a series of four to six treatments, most people find they have very little, if any, regrowth. To learn more about laser hair removal, see before and after photos, and watch a video of Dr. Shah discussing the procedure, please click here.
Treatment with equipment like the Lumenis One intense pulsed light system rejuvenates the skin, restoring a youthful, healthy glow. During skin rejuvenation, laser energy is applied to the surface of the skin. This stimulates the creation of new collagen, which in turn helps to even skin tone and texture, shrink pores and minimize fine lines and wrinkles. After a series of five treatments performed six weeks apart, skin appears softer, brighter and more supple. Many people say they feel younger and more confident after treatment.To learn more about skin rejuvenation and see before and after photos, please click here.
Laser therapy can also eradicate discolored veins. Both thin spider veins and large varicose veins can be treated on the face, legs or other areas. Energy is selectively delivered to destroy the veins, which are then expelled by the body's natural processes. Very small veins may be removed in just one session, but several treatments are often required to completely remove larger veins.To learn more about laser vein treatment and see before and after photos, please click here.

 Tummy Tuck Today, Beach Body Tomorrow
Are you tired of selecting a bathing suit based on how well it hides your tummy? If fewer and fewer bikinis seem to have the right fit, a tummy tuck may be the answer.
That's because, despite the strictest diet and exercise programs, many people aren't able to firm the skin around the abdomen. Others have loose abdominal skin following a heavy weight loss or pregnancy. That's when abdominoplasty can be used to slim and firm the tummy.
This procedure, also known as a "tummy tuck", removes excess skin that has lost its elasticity. It may also help reduce fat, tighten loose abdominal muscles and improve the appearance of stretch marks. This provides a more contoured stomach and well-defined waistline.
During a tummy tuck, an incision is made just above the pubic area. This incision stretches horizontally across the lower abdomen. The skin is then gently pulled away from the muscle, the muscle tightened, and excess skin is removed. Then the incision is closed and skin is stitched back into place. Usually, an additional incision around the navel is required.
The procedure lasts between three and five hours, depending upon the degree of improvement desired. As with other types of surgery, patients need a few weeks to recuperate, with most returning to their normal activities within two weeks.
Unless there is a significant weight gain or the patient becomes pregnant, the results of a tummy tuck should last for many years. Complications are generally few.

Melanoma Skyrockets Among the Young
The incidence of melanoma – the most deadly form of skin cancer – has spiked among young Caucasians, according to a recent article inthe Journal of Investigative Dermatology.
Since 1973, the incidence of invasive cutaneous melanoma among men and women aged 15 to 39 has significantly increased. Among younger women, that rate has more than doubled.
The research was conducted by the National Institutes of Health and examined data on melanoma collected between 1973 and 2004 by the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program.
During this 30 year period, researchers found that the overall age-adjusted annual incidence of melanoma among young men increased from 4.7 to 7.7 cases per 100,000 persons. The age-adjusted annual incidence of melanoma among young almost tripled from 5.5 to 13.9 cases per 100,000 persons.
While melanoma accounts for roughly 4% of all skin cancers, it causes three quarters of skin cancer deaths, with more than 8,100 deaths due to melanoma occurring last year.
