Facial Fillers
 Aging and sun exposure diminishes the volume and elasticity in our faces. Facial fillers replenish the skin's collagen support structure, smooth lines and fill indentations, producing a fresher, more youthful look. Many facial fillers are made of collagen and hyaluronic acid, which are part of the natural support structure of the skin.
Indications for fillers include:
- Glabellar Lines (Between the Eyebrows)
- Nasolabial Folds (From the Root of the Nose to the Angle of Your Mouth)
- Dark Circles and Hollows Beneath the Eyes
- Thinning Lips & Lip Lines
- Contouring Sunken Cheeks and Chins
- Restoring a Youthful Oval Shape to the Face
The latest tissue fillers include: Restylane®, Juvederm™, Perlane, Radiesse® and Sculptra™, Depending on the types of wrinkles or scars, we can discuss the best filler options for you.

 Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is the standard treatment for varicose and spider veins. A special sclerosing solution is injected into the dilated vein, which then collapses and is gradually absorbed by the body. By the end of the treatment program, the veins are less visible on the skin surface. This treatment requires 2-4 visits to provide optimal results. Sclerotherapy usually also relieves symptoms associated with enlarged veins and prevents further complications.

Thermage™ Skin Tightening
 Thermage™ is a quick, easy and non-invasive alternative to a face lift. Using painless radiofrequency energy, Thermage "lifts" and tightens loose and sagging skin to restore youthful vigor to patients' faces. It achieves its most dramatic results in improving neck contours and raising sagging cheeks. The Thermage device stimulates collagen production and temporarily reduces wrinkles while keeping the skin surface cool and comfortable. There is no incision or recovery time. Results last at least two years.

 Chemical Peels
Chemical peels exfoliate the damaged outer layers of skin on the face to reveal the healthy, glowing skin beneath. They smooth texture, reduce scarring, and remove blemishes and pre-cancerous growths. Dr. Laub tailors peel formulas and strengths to each patient for optimal results.
