Many of us have hair we would love to permanently get rid of, as years of shaving, waxing, or plucking can add up in both cost and wasted time. Laser hair removal can give you smooth, hair-free skin that lasts. The key: a laser that can target hair roots inside their follicles.
Over time, smiles, frowns, and other facial expressions can leave lines and wrinkles on our faces. While other treatments can diminish their appearance, for deep lines and wrinkles around and between the eyes and across the forehead, Botox® can relax those lines away for months at a time.
Medical technologies designed for skin rejuvenation are advancing rapidly, taking esthetic procedures to whole new levels. This means faster and more efficient procedures with minimal downtime and better results. The Opus Plasma™ fractional skin resurfacing system is set to be the latest revolution in skincare. At Albuquerque Vein and Laser Institute, we are proud to offer this innovative solution for skin resurfacing.
Although millions of Americans suffer with spider veins on their legs, some also develop them on their nose or cheeks. Hiding at home or behind a mask may be a temporary solution for those suffering with facial and nose veins, but the VeinWave treatment at Albuquerque Vein & Laser offers a permanent solution for the peskiest and most embarrassing of spider veins!
Laser hair removal has become one of the most popular cosmetic treatments for men and women alike who are tired of the tedious upkeep or sometimes expense that shaving, waxing or plucking require. Many men seek a permanent removal solution for back hair, chest hair, or hair on the back of the neck, and many women do the same for leg hair, bikini line hair, or unwanted facial hair.
Recent advancements in cosmetic laser technology means that if you are tired of the shaving and waxing, it’s time to consider laser hair removal, especially with summer in full swing!
Although blood clots can form anywhere in the body, they often develop deep in the venous system, often in the pelvis or leg. They develop when a clump of blood changes from liquid to a thick gel-like substance. Although clotting is sometimes a necessary process that can prevent an injured person from losing too much blood, they can potentially be dangerous – or even life threatening – if they form in your leg veins. Let’s look at how we can avoid Deep Vein Thrombosis.
Spider veins can form over time due to a number of factors, including genetics, age, hormonal changes, or lifestyle, such as having a job that requires long periods of standing, If you are one of the millions of people who often hide spider veins under long pants, skirts, or dresses, we have a treatment for you! These problem veins are relatively easy to treat with sclerotherapy.
If you’ve ever looked closely at the backs of your hands, arms, or legs, you may have noticed that the veins criss-crossing your body appear blue even though you know your blood is actually red. Have you ever wondered why? Let’s check out the science behind the colors!
