Services:
- Laser Hair Removal
The use of lasers for hair removal has been studied for a number of years. Hair bearing areas are treated with a focused beam of concentrated laser light which is selectively absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft, as well as in the surrounding hair follicle. This causes thermal destruction of these anatomical sites and disrupts the hair follicles ability to regenerate. This causes permanent hair reduction. Unlike electrolysis which kills one hair follicle at a time the laser reaches and treats hundreds of follicles at a time.
- Botox
Botox is a medication that can relax the muscles of facial expression. It is used primarily for reducing the appearance of the wrinkles caused by years of smiling, laughing, and frowning. The areas that respond the best to Botox are the smile lines around the eyes (Crow's feet), the frown lines between the eyebrows (Glabellar lines), and the forehead lines (Frontalis lines). Dr. Lin is an experienced Botox physician and is a member of the Botox Physician's Network.
