Non-Surgical Procedures
Dr. Fusi offers the following cosmetic non-surgical procedures:
Facial Skin Rejuvenation
Improvement of the overall appearance of the facial skin is obtained by a variety of tools. Proper education with avoidance of smoking, prolonged sun exposure, and a good dietary regimen are all critical factors. The use of a good skin care program is the foundation of a personalized plan which sees, when indicated from time to time, the application of different types of chemical peels, the use of microdermabrasion, and different types of lasers to remove teleangectasias (spider veins), age spots, fine wrinkles and improve the texture of the skin. Dr. Fusi and his Skin Care specialist will use the different modalities as needed in a program tailored for each single individual.
Botox Treatment
The use of Botulinum Toxin, commonly called Botox, has lately seen an explosion in its use as a way of temporarily removing the wrinkles present in the region of the forehead known as glabella. These wrinkles are the ones visible when frowning. The toxin has a paralyzing effect on the muscles responsible for the wrinkles. Its effects are temporary as they dissipate usually in the 4-6 months time. The injections are office procedures requiring no particular down time.
Collagen Injection-Fat Transfer
Correction of certain wrinkle can be obtained temporarily by the injection of bovine collagen. This material is an off the shelf product, which is completely resorbed by the body in the matter of months. New products are being continuously reserached and developed as an alternative to collagen.
A more permanent correction is obtained by the use of your own fat, which is removed with a syringe, fine cannula, from other areas of the body. After appropriate preparation, it is reinjected where needed in the face. This is an excellent filling material, which has been more and more used.
Treatment of Spider Veins
Newer types of lasers have revolutionized the treatment of spider veins present at the level of the extremities and face, making these lasers a very versatile tool complementing when needed the injection of sclerosing solutions. These treatments are office procedures, requiring no down time.
Laser Hair Reduction
Laser technology has brought to us the availability of very effective lasers to greatly reduce the unwanted hair from different areas of the body.
Due to the particular physiology of the hair growth, more than one session of laser therapy is needed to affect the growth of hair. These are office procedure, which require no particular down time.
At the time of your initial office consultation, Dr. Fusi will discuss is great detail the procedures, associated risks and postoperative recovery.
