Laser:
Vascular Lesions -
New methods of using the Nd:yag laser and flash pumped dye laser have produced dramatic results in the treatment of vascular malformations and hemangiomas, simplifying the treatment and offering hope for previously untreatable problems.

Laproscopic Surgery - This innovative technique is employed in both general surgery and gynecology. What were once open procedures, requiring several days of hospitalization, can now be performed through a laproscope in our ambulatory facility including brow lifts, facelifts, and neck lifts.

Tattoos - Several different lasers are available to remove most tattoos with little risk of scarring. This procedure is safe, and many patients are very happy with their results.
