read moreThe eMatrix system is a unique sublative radiofrequency (RF) treatment that places heat energy deep within the skin and thereby spares significant interaction with the outer layers. The eMatrix system's applicator delivers bi-polar RF energy via a matrix of electrodes within the applicator tip. The RF energy generates fractional deep dermal heating in the region of the electrode matrix to induce a controlled skin injury. This skin injury results in a wound healing response that leads to a stimulation of collagen and a rejuvenated appearance to the skin.

read moreKYBELLA is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells under the chin to improve your profile. The active ingredient in KYBELLA is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.

Whether it is brown spots ("liver spots"), crepey skin texture or prominent veins and general skin laxity, the hands may give away your true age especially when other parts of your skin have been treated or protected from repeated sun exposure. There are a variety of treatment modalities that may improve the appearance of the hands with little downtime and very little discomfort. The easiest treatment involves the alexandrite laser to remove any unwanted pigmentation or brown, "age" spots.

At San Diego Dermatology and Laser Surgery, we often combine the effects of multiple laser and light devices to achieve optimal clearance in the fewest number of visits. The Vbeam and Smoothbeam lasers are often used in conjunction on the same visit for patients with active acne and scarring. These lasers have been used successfully for years to reduce acne breakouts, reduce oil production, tighten pores, and reduce depressed, acne scars.

read moreThe Exilis Elite uses RF technology to get deep into the skin, stimulating new collagen while keeping the top layers of your skin safe and cool. The result is smoother and younger-looking skin after just a few treatments. The Exilis Elite is here in San Diego. Contact our office to learn more. The Exilis Elite procedure delivers precisely controlled RF energy to deep layers of the skin to cause fat cells to shrink and the collagen supporting tissue network to remodel and form new collagen. This process results in fat reduction and improvements in skin laxity and texture.
