As time passes our skin shows the natural, inevitable signs of aging - wrinkles, sagging, sun damage. But you can counteract those effects with several non-surgical cosmetic procedures available at our practice, including BOTOX® and injectable fillers such as collagen to smooth lines and wrinkles and raise sunken areas; chemical peels to reduce blemishes and scarring and produce fresh, glowing skin; laser hair removal for unwanted hair; and sclerotherapy for the treatment of spider and varicose veins.
Titan® |
The Titan® is a safe, non-surgical procedure that uses an infrared light source to tighten skin and reverse the signs of aging. The Titan® device uniformly distributes heat below the skin, causing collagen contraction, while preserving the outer layer of skin through continuous cooling. This process stimulates long-term collagen rebuilding, leaving patients with younger-looking skin. The procedure tones, lifts and tightens skin on the face and neck and can be used to treat lax, loose or wrinkled skin throughout the body—including the abdomen, thighs and arms. The result is a more youthful, fresh complexion and long-lasting, tighter skin without injections, surgery or recovery time.
The Titan® is cleared for treatment of wrinkles in Europe and for general dermatologic use in Canada. In the US, it is cleared for topical heating to increase local tissue temperature and circulation. An additional 510(k) clearance is pending in the US for the treatment of wrinkles.

Fraxel® |
Fraxel® is a unique noninvasive laser therapy designed to dramatically improve skin texture and pigmentation, including the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, and sun damage. Fraxel® utilizes fractional resurfacing technology, where only a small fraction of the skin receives the laser light. The treatment delivers a series of microscopic laser spots, while simultaneously preserving areas of unaffected, healthy skin. The healthy cells in the untouched spots promote rapid healing of the entire area, resulting in faster recovery time and minimal side effects. The result is softer, smoother and healthier skin without an uncomfortable healing period.

IPL
Skin
Treatments |
IPL is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses pulses of light to reduce signs of aging in the skin and help you look younger, healthier, vibrant and refreshed. IPL photorejuvenation reverses the effects of sun damage on the skin, especially age spots, benign brown pigmented spots, and redness due to broken capillaries. It is effective anywhere that the skin has been chronically exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck, chest and hands.
The results of IPL skin treatments at the Dermatology Medical Group of San Francisco can be dramatic. Soon after your treatment, you will notice your skin becoming more luminous, smooth, evenly pigmented and generally younger-looking.

Laser Tattoo
Removal |
Many people have second thoughts about their tattoos. Fortunately, you don't have to live with your decision forever. The Nydium Yag laser can lighten or remove your tattoo by focusing or pulsing light on the ink particles, which then convert the energy to heat and break up into tiny pieces that are absorbed harmlessly by the body. All this can be accomplished without damaging the surrounding tissue. Results can generally be seen within a few weeks, although larger and darker tattoos may require more treatments than smaller, lighter ones. Occasionally treated skin will look whiter (paler) than the skin around it, but this is usually temporary and fades in the months following treatment.

Facial Vein Treatments |
Facial veins are generally part of the aging process, the result of over exposure to the sun, the result of hormones, or simply due to genetics. Most people feel that these capillaries detract from their appearance. With quick and easy treatments such as hyfrecation (electric needle) or laser treatment, there is no longer a reason you must live with this condition.

Liposuction |
One of the most popular cosmetic procedures, liposuction sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, chin, cheeks, neck and upper arms that have not responded to diet and exercise. Local anesthesia or general anesthesia may be used and the procedure can last anywhere from one to five hours depending on the amount of fat being removed.
There are several different methods surgeons use when performing liposuction, including tumescent liposuction, the super-wet technique, and ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL). In all types a tiny incision is made in as inconspicuous a place as possible; a cannula (small tube) then breaks up the fat layer and suctions it out.

Hair Transplant Surgery |
Customized treatment plans for individual patients using the latest techniques and technology make it possible to succesfully compensate for thinning hair or baldness. Treatments vary depending on the extent and pattern of hair loss and the patient's preferences, lifestyle and expectations, but typically include hair transplants, scalp reduction, skin lifts/grafts, medication or a combination of these.
