Dermasweep (Microdermabrasion)
Medical practitioners now have access to an unparalleled level of customization, precision and performance with the particle-free DermaSweep™ MD Multi-Level Skin Resurfacing System. This revolutionary system, available only to licensed medical practitioners, combines precision brush tip exfoliation, topical solutions and variable vacuum pressure for the most precise, efficacious and comfortable skin treatments available. Dermasweep features a closed system with a variable level vacuum pump that gently lifts the skin as our bristles "sweep away" the dead layer of skin in a precise and controlled manner. Our patent pending bristle tips fully eliminate the mess and hazards associated with traditional crystal systems. Further, these polyester or nylon bristles prevent the build up of keratin on the wand that has been a problem with other particle-free systems. DermaSweep enables airflow through the bristles to allow the skin to be gently drawn into the bristle for a more effective and less irritating exfoliation. Our innovative, efficient use of vacuum pressure and bristles are then customized for each treatment depending on skin type, desired level of exfoliation and results. DermaSweep results in a clean, consistently effective treatment and patients see a noticeable skin improvement with fewer treatments and improved results even with the first treatment.
Botox
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). One 10-minute treatment-a few tiny injections-and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.In 2005, almost 3.3 million procedures were performed with FDA-approved BOTOX® Cosmetic.There's only one BOTOX® Cosmetic. Talk to your doctor to see if BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you!
Restylane
Natural Beauty
Restylane® is the smart and easy way to add volume and smoothness to your skin. Restylane is based on a hyaluronic acid gel that closely resembles the body's own hyaluronic acid. It is long lasting, but not permanent. Restylane is made in Sweden, a nation known for health, nature and beauty. Since 1996, millions of treatments have been successfully performed in more than 70 countries worldwide.
Juvederm
As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with JUVÉDERM® injectable gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen!
JUVÉDERM® is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid-a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases JUVÉDERM® injectable gel under the skin to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds-the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).
JUVÉDERM® provides a smooth, natural look and feel-so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of JUVÉDERM® compared to a collagen-based dermal filler. Almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both JUVÉDERM® injectable gel and another dermal filler preferred JUVÉDERM®! JUVÉDERM® injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.
Why LATISSE®?
Find Out Why People with Inadequate Lashes are Asking About LATISSE®.
There’s been a growing interest in this product ever since it was introduced. And it’s no wonder. LATISSE® is the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker.
Discover the LATISSE® difference.
LATISSE® solution is an actual growth treatment. In fact, it’s the only FDA-approved treatment clinically proven to grow lashes. And it’s the only lash growth product of its kind available by prescription. So you’ll need to talk to your doctor to see if it’s right for you.
LATISSE® grows lashes longer, fuller and darker.
LATISSE® solution is a once-a-day treatment you apply topically to the base of your upper eyelashes, as instructed by your doctor. Then, gradually, the results come in. You may start to see more length in as little as 4 weeks and you should achieve full growth in 16 weeks. It’s not an illusion of growth. It’s your own eyelashes — only better.
How LATISSE® works.
LATISSE® makes lash growth possible because of its active ingredient: bimatoprost. Although the precise mechanism of action is unknown, LATISSE® is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase, and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase.
The history behind LATISSE®.
Although LATISSE® is a treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes, it was developed through years of research by Allergan, a pharmaceutical leader with expertise in eye care products.

Laser for vascular lesions (telangiectasias)
V-beam laser treats a broad range of vascular lesions including facial and leg veins, rosacea, port wine stains, acne and much more. New micro-pulse technology means each laser pulse is actually made up of eight sub pulses, providing uniform and consistent vessel heating enabling improved clinical results without purpura.
Laser for pigmented lesions (lentigos/tattoos)
Nd:YAG laser is used to lighten or remove a variety of dark skin spots. This laser produces a very bright beam of light that destroys the cells containing pigment, with very little damage to surrounding skin.
The laser is used to remove pigmented sunburn freckles (solar lentigines), flat brown spots on the hands or face (sun spots), cafe-au-lait marks, and blue-grey birthmarks on the face (nevus of Ota). This is also the ideal for laser tattoo removal.
The amount of lightening depends on the location and depth of the pigment. For small brown spots, one to three treatments may be needed. Tattoos, birthmarks and Nevus of Ota require multiple sessions.
Sclerotherapy
For spider vein treatment and removal, the physicians of Capital Dermatology utilize a microinjection procedure called Sclerotherapy. They treat the unsightly surface spider veins with a salt like solution.
