Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. It refers to any abnormal sweating, such as sweating when it’s not hot. People who sweat excessively often soak through their clothing or drip sweat. Regular antiperspirants don’t work well for those with this condition.

Botox injections are a new treatment option for people with hyperhidrosis. You may be a candidate for Botox if your sweating fails to improve with prescription antiperspirants. Botox has been FDA-approved for people who sweat excessively from their armpits.

How do Botox injections work?
Botox works by blocking the nerves responsible for activating your sweat glands. Normally, your nervous system activates your sweat glands when your body temperature rises. This is how your body automatically cools itself. In people with hyperhidrosis, however, the nerves that signal the sweat glands are overactive.

When you receive Botox injections directly into the area of your body that commonly sweats, your overactive nerves are essentially paralyzed. When your nerves can’t signal your sweat glands, you don’t sweat. However, Botox only prevents sweating in the specific area where it’s injected.

3 key steps to wound healing:

Inflammation SkinPen’s microneedles penetrate the skin’s surface, triggering a natural immune response to disinfect, remove debris, increase blood flow, and activate the creation of new tissue.

Proliferation The micro-channels or tiny holes created by SkinPen are rebuilt with new granulation cells that include collagen proteins. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.

Remodeling New dermal tissues form, rich in collagen and elastin proteins. These proteins improve skin quality, visibly reducing facial acne scars and neck wrinkles, leaving skin more smooth, radiant, and younger-looking.

Laser Skin Tightening

Laser skin tightening is the tightening of the skin on the face, neck, or body using good old-fashioned heat. It's one of the most effective methods for tightening loose, crepe-y skin.

After the age of 30, we slow down our production of collagen and elastin—the two proteins that help our skin stay firm, plump, and toned. Non-surgical skin tightening with lasers targets energy in the layers of the skin to stimulate that collagen and elastin production, which will gradually improve the texture and tone. The laser delivers a controlled dermal wound without harming the overlaying epidermis.

Men and women between ages 30 and 60 are ideal candidates for a laser skin tightening procedure.

As long as you're in good health, laser skin tightening can repair loose facial skin and reduce wrinkles and fine lines on the face and neck.

Laser skin tightening is an effective, minimally invasive option for people of all skin types and skin tones who wish to achieve dramatic results without painful surgery and lengthy recovery times.

At Diamond Skin Solutions, Laser Skin Tightening is done in a series of 5 treatments 4-6 weeks apart.  Each treatment takes 15-30 min. The optimal results will be seen 3-6 months after your final treatment.  There is no downtime and you can go back to work right after a treatment.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair.

How does laser hair removal work?

The laser delivers an intense but gentle concentrated burst of energy that is aimed at the hair follicle. The light is absorbed by the pigment of the hair, which travels down the shaft of the hair and damages the follicle.

There are three stages of hair growth. They are: Anagen—active growth; Catagen—a brief phase in which growth stops and resting begins, and Telogen—a resting phase in which no further growth occurs. In order for laser treatments to be effective, hair must be in the active growth stage—Anagen. Because individual hairs are at different stages of growth at any given time, multiple laser treatments are required to target all of them when they are in the Anagen stage.

Is it safe?

Yes, the GentleMax Pro Laser Hair Removal Device is safe for all skin types.

What kind of hair can be treated?

We can only treat hair that has pigment. The pigment of the hair enables the laser to travel down the shaft and cause thermal damage to the root and follicle. We cannot treat white or gray hair.

What areas can be treated?

Abdomen, arms, back, bikini, brazilian, chin, ears, face, feet/toes, knuckles, legs, lower back, neck, shoulders, underarms, unibrow, upper chest, or upper lip.

Call for pricing.

How long will it take?

The removal process is very fast, ultimately determined by the size of the area being treated.

How many sessions will I need?

We suggest a series of 6 treatments 4-8 weeks apart depending on the area of the body being treated.   Many factors impact the efficacy of your treatment.

What does it feel like?

Most patients find the GentleMax Pro pain-free. Some patients feel a slight discomfort with each laser pulse. This discomfort resolves quickly and is minimized by the patented Dynamic Cooling Device.

How do I prepare for treatment?

Hair removal patients should avoid plucking, electrolysis or waxing for six weeks prior to treatment. Skin should be clean shaven the day prior to treatment. Do not expose the intended treatment area to sunlight, tanning booth light or spray tan prior to treatment

What was I inking?

Professional Tattoo Removal

How does laser tattoo removal work?

The laser delivers pulses at very high energy. Laser pulses are absorbed by the tattoo and causes the pigment particles to break down. These particles are sent into the hypodermis, where it is recognized as a foreign object and sent into the lymphatic system.

The healthier the immune system, the better the results. Studies have shown that those who exercise regularly and drink large amounts of water see a more positive result.

Is it safe?

The Q-Switch laser technology offers high efficiency at very low risk. It enables effective tattoo removal with little side effects.

What kind of tattoos can be treated?

Professional and amateur tattoos can be removed. The Q-Switch is especially designed to remove black, dark blue, red and orange pigments.

When accessing the removal process, what are the factors?

• The Size of the tattoo
• Location of the tattoo
• Depth of Ink
• Density of Ink
• Colour of tattoo
• Type of ink
• Health of your immune system

How long will it take?

The removal process is very fast, ultimately determined on the size of tattoo being removed.

How many sessions will I need?

On average, it takes 8 - 12 sessions to remove a tattoo. However, this is only an average and it may be more or less, depending on the tattoo and your body.  The healthier you are, the more likely you are to get a good result in a shorter period of time.

Will it go away completely?

In many cases we can remove a tattoo 100% (though this is not guaranteed).  If, for whatever reason it cannot be 100% removed, it will fade.  At this point, you could get another tattoo placed over the faded tattoo.

Does it hurt?

Everyone has a different pain tolerance but it does hurt more than getting the original tattoo.  We can apply freezing gel before the treatment, we use a Zimmer Machine to help cool the skin during the treatment to help with the pain.

Will I see a difference after my first treatment?

It takes about two weeks for the body to absorb the ink.  Some people see differences after the first session.

Intense Pulse Light (IPL) Treatments

Laser Light Treatments for Vascular and Pigmented lesion and skin rejuvenation

Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy is a way to improve the tone of your skin by getting rid of age spots, sun spots and freckles. It can undo some of the visible damage caused by sun exposure -- called photoaging. You may notice it mostly on your face, neck, hands, or chest.

A non-surgical, non-invasive cosmetic procedure, Gentle Max Pro uses gentle pulses of light to safely and effectively eliminate years of sun damage, redness, vascular blemishes and brown pigmentation, literally “Turning back the clock”. This treatment works to rejuvenate the skin by enhancing dull or grey complexions as well as smoothing out uneven pigmentation.

IPL’s target the top layers of the skin to break up any lesions or vessels. Because the treatment was developed to specifically heat the intended target spot, the surrounding areas won’t experience damage.

Skin will appear even toned, healthy and youthful. There is no downtime and patients can resume daily activities immediately. After treatment skin may appear red and pigmented spots may look darker for a short time. You should avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, chemical peels, drugs that increase your bleeding risk and creams or other products that contain Vitamin A.

At Diamond Skin Solutions, we do a series of 3 treatments 3-4 weeks apart.  The treatment takes 10-15 minutes.

Melia

Melia are small, bump-like cysts found under the skin. ... They form when skin flakes or keratin, a protein,

become trapped under the skin. Melia most often appear on the face, commonly around the eyelids and cheeks, though they can occur anywhere.

At Diamond Skin Solutions, we use a radio frequency device to remove Melia.  The treatment takes about 30 minutes.

Skin Tag Removal   

A skin tag is a small, soft, benign skin growth, often on a stalk.  Skin tags are harmless but can be annoying. Skin tags tend to occur on the eyelids, neck, armpits, groin folds, and under breasts.

Skin tags are very common and generally occur after midlife. They affect men and women equally. They commonly occur in creases or folds of the skin.  They are not dangerous, but they can be removed for aesthetic and cosmetic reasons.
