The effects of exposure to the sun during our lifetime results in wrinkling, scaling, irregular coloration, and the development of both benign and cancerous growths. Sun awareness and sun protection can help prevent some of these changes. Evaluation by a dermatologist is essential in the development of a sun-damage prevention and treatment plan.
Aesthetic Consultation
In order to help you achieve your skin care goals, we offer cosmetic consultations. Consultations are meant to give you specific details about our treatments and whether they can help you with your goals. We meet with you one-on-one and discuss your questions. Contact our Cosmetic Services Representative.
Aging Skin Treatment
Skin changes throughout life are due to both genetics and external factors. Sun damage leads to visible changes in the skin: thin skin, color changes, large pores, coarse texture, fine wrinkles and visible blood vessels. > More info
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® is injected through the skin into the muscles. By relaxing the muscles, the dynamic skin lines become relaxed. Within a few hours to several days those muscles responsible for the wrinkles and deep folds cannot contract or “scrunch up” for a period of time. > More info
Chemical Peels
Results from this advanced technology include an increase in the production of collagen and elastin fibers, as well as a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improved skin tone, texture, color and elasticity. > More info
Facials
We offer a variety of differnet facials designed to relax the body, as well as cleanse and rejuvenate the skin. > More info
Fillers for the Skin
Restylane® and Juvéderm® are injectable forms of hyaluronic acid, used to diminish unwanted facial wrinkles, folds and lines. Hyaluronic acid is the natural fluid matrix that bathes the skin fibers. Both injectables are used to help blunt the sharp folds between the nose and the corner of the mouth. > More info
Fractional Laser
Fractional laser resurfacing is a relatively new method of skin rejuvenation in which the targeted areas of the skin are precisely spaced out at a microscopic level, leaving some skin perfectly intact while other zones are heat treated. > More info
Juvéderm®
Juvéderm® is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Juvéderm® injectable gel is eased under the skin to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” > More info
Laser Genesis™
Laser Genesis skin therapy is a terrific way to treat some of the signs of premature aging and sun damage such as excessive redness, large pores, uneven texture and fine-line wrinkles. > More info
LimeLight Facial
A new, non-invasive approach to skin rejuvenation using Cutera’s LimeLight. The procedure improves skin tone and surface imperfections associated with aging and sun damage. The LimeLight Facial can target three conditions all in one treatment: redness, tiny facial veins, and brown pigmented sun and age spots. > More info
Microdermabrasion
The MegaPeel customized microdermabrasion treatment is an effective and safe way to exfoliate the skin, and one of the most requested non-invasive cosmetic procedures. > More info
Pearl™ Laser
The Pearl procedure combines the impact of resurfacing lasers with the gentleness and safety of non-invasive procedures to treat aging and sun-damaged skin. Pearl reduces wrinkles, uneven texture and solar damage with fewer treatments and less overall recovery than other technologies to provide a healthy, pearl-like glow. > More info
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
A medical treatment that uses a photosensitizing drug (a drug that becomes activated by light exposure) and a light source to activate the applied drug. The result is an activated oxygen molecule that can destroy nearby cells. Precancerous cells and certain types of cancer cells can be treated this way. > More info
Photorejuvenation
Photorejuvenation is used to brighten and improve the skin through the use of laser and pulsed light treatments. This advanced technology is minimally invasive and helps to restore the youthful appearance to our skin. > More info
Radiesse®
Healthy young skin contains collagen that gives it volume, flexibility and strength. Radiesse wrinkle filler's unique formulation stimulates collagenesis – the production of new collagen – which results in increased volume for natural looking wrinkle correction that may last a year or more in many patients. > More info
Skin Cancer Treatment
Some of the same techniques used to treat skin cancer may be applicable to certain abnormal moles and growths. A consultation in our office will determine the best course of action. > More info
Skin Surgery
Outpatient skin surgeries using the latest techniques and materials are part of our daily practice at Lee’s Summit Dermatology Associates. > More info
Wart Treatment
At Lee’s Summit Dermatology Associates we treat a lot of warts! Treating warts is very challenging and no therapy has been shown to be 100% successful. A combination of therapies is usually effective. > More info
Wrinkle and Pore Reduction
Wrinkles and pores become more noticeable with age, sun damage and some skin conditions such as acne and rosacea. Wrinkles are complex and may be a sign of sun-damage and genetics. Treatments for wrinkles requires an understanding of why they developed and their depth. > More info |
