LIPOSUCTION
Liposuction is a procedure that removes undesired fat deposits from the abdomen, hips, thighs, and knees. Liposuction is a good technique for improving body shape and proportion, and the procedure leaves very little scarring.

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a procedure that can extremely reduce the appearance of a bulging abdomen. In this surgical procedure, excess fat and skin are removed from the abdomen area, and abdominal wall muscles are tightened.

BOTOX® COSMETIC
BOTOX® is a natural purified protein injected in the brow and eye area where hyperfunctional muscles cause facial lines to form-relaxing the muscle and smoothing the lines. BOTOX® makes removing wrinkles from the forehead and around the eyes easy. Made of a purified toxin, BOTOX® temporarily paralyzes the muscles surrounding a wrinkle, allowing the skin to relax and smooth. BOTOX® injections can be given as an outpatient procedure in about 15 minutes. The results last about 3 months, but treatment can be repeated as needed. Fast and effective, BOTOX® is FDA approved.

BREAST AUGMENTATION
Breast augmentation is a surgery that increases the size of the breasts. Women with underdeveloped breasts and women whose breast size decreased after pregnancy can benefit from breast augmentation. The surgery can also be performed to achieve breast symmetry, in the case where one breast has not developed with the other.

BREAST LIFT
A breast lift is a procedure that can raise and reform sagging breasts. Excess skin can be removed and the breast, nipple, and areola can be moved to a higher location. Some breasts may require an implant to correct breast contour.

BREAST REDUCTION
Back and breast pain and improper posture are medical reasons that may warrant breast reduction surgery. Along with the medical issues, everyday problems, like bra straps cutting into the skin, are also reasons someone may wish to reduce the size of their breasts. Typically the goal of the surgery is to reduce the breasts to a size in proportion with the rest of the body.

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION
Every year, many women lose their breasts to cancer. Breast reconstruction can help compensate the loss by creating new breasts. Reconstruction can involve using your own tissue or a breast implant.

SHORT SCAR (MACS) FACELIFT
As the facial skin loosens and wrinkles with age, neck muscles may also weaken. A facelift can help correct these problems by tightening the skin of the face and neck.

FOREHEAD LIFT
A forehead lift can help minimize forehead furrows, drooping eyebrows, and frown lines. The procedure involves removing skin and muscle from the forehead area. The goal of a forehead lift is to restore a refreshed, youthful look in the area above the eyes.

EYELID SURGERY
As the body ages, the skin around the eye stretches, and excess fat collects. Eyelid surgery can correct sagging upper eyelids and puffy bags below the eyes.

LASER RESURFACING
Using the latest in laser technology, this process reduces wrinkles, lines, and skin imperfections. Deep laugh or frown lines, acne scars, and lines around the eyelids, forehead, and mouth can all be treated with laser skin resurfacing.

COSMETIC NASAL SURGERY
By narrowing or widening the tip, removing bumps, straightening alignment, and possibly reducing the size, the nose can be contoured to be in proportion with the face.

CARPAL TUNNEL
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when tissue applies pressure on the major nerves of the hand. The pressure can cause numbness and aching in the hand, and may impair hand function. It may be the result of overuse, repetitive motions, fluid retention during pregnancy, or arthritis and other diseases. Surgery can relieve pain and restore feeling by cutting the tissue that is applying the pressure. The results of surgery will depend on how much damage has already been done to the nerve.

LESION REMOVAL
Lesion removal is performed for medical and cosmetic reasons. Some lesions may be cancerous, while others are unsightly.

SPIDER VEIN THERAPY (Sclerotherapy)
Spider veins are small clusters of veins that can appear on the legs. They can be caused by a variety of situations including pregnancy, heredity, and weight gain. Whether blue, red, or purple; these veins are not only unsightly, but may also cause burning, swelling, and aching. A simple procedure, known as sclerotherapy, can treat spider veins. By injecting a sclerosing solution, the procedure causes the veins to collapse and decline from view or they may possibly be able to be treated with laser at THĒ Medical Spa.

TATTOO REMOVAL WITH LASER SYSTEM
Decorative tattoos have a history dating back at least 5000 years. The desire to remove them has probably existed just as long. Early attempts to remove tattoos have had less than desirable results. The use of dermabrasion, salabrasion, and CO2 lasers have left behind scars in place of the tattoo. The advent of the Q-SWITCH LASERS has permitted the removal of most tattoo inks with very low risk of scarring. This laser can significantly lighten or remove many tattoo inks, and is particularly advanced in the removal of blue, black, and red inks. Tattoo ink is removed by using a specific wavelength which passes through the skin but is absorbed by the ink. The rapid absorption of light energy causes the tattoo ink to destruct, where it is then removed by the body's own natural filtering system. The use of this specific combination of wavelength and rapidly pulsed light results in minimal damage to the skin while providing maximum tattoo ink removal.
