Under Eye Bags & Dark Circles

Say Goodbye To Those Dark Circles

Dark circles and under-eye bags can form for a variety of reasons. It can be thinning skin, lack of fat, hyperpigmentation, or even skin conditions like rosacea.

Sometimes, they’re caused from lack of sleep and sometimes they’re simply a result of natural aging. Regardless of their reason for being there, you don’t have to just accept them.

At Rao Derm, we understand what under-eye bags and dark circles can do to your self-confidence. When you want to smooth the skin around your eyes and erase the signs of aging they create, we can help.

Eyebags & Dark Circles

If people keep telling you that you look tired, or if you look in the mirror and find an older, tired-looking person staring back at you, it could be that the dark circles under your eyes are to blame.

Although not getting enough sleep can be a factor in the development of dark circles, a number of other factors contribute to the appearance of the circles, including the thickness of your skin, the size of your blood vessels and pigmentation.

What Causes Dark Circles?
The appearance of under-eye “bags” can be due to a number of factors. Sometimes it is a bit of under-eye fat bulging through, sometimes it is fat loss in the tear trough area below the lower eyelid. Sometimes it is just the way your eyes are anatomically. Some other common causes of dark circles include:

Sun Exposure
Ageing
Lack of sleep
Vitamin Deficiencies
Allergies
Genetics
Eczema
Irritation

Although there can be many causes of undereye bags, what is important is the realization that there are ways of treating the condition.

Our Undereye Bag Treatments

We offer a number of different procedures that can help address the bags under your eyes including:

Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers, sometimes called injectables, are a common cosmetic treatment for under eye bags and dark circles. Injectable serums and facial fillers add volume to saggy areas of skin, eliminating fine lines and wrinkles and smoothing out extra skin.

Many facial fillers also help fight the signs of aging, boosting the production of collagen and elastin, proteins that help keep your skin healthy and elastic.

While you can use facial fillers to improve under eye bags no matter what their cause, it’s exceptionally effective on dark circles resulting from hyperpigmentation.

Chemical Peels
Our chemical peels give your skin a deep and thorough exfoliation, removing dead and unhealthy skin cells in order to expose the fresh, new skin beneath. When skin is damaged in some way, chemical peels can sometimes eliminate the issue by stimulating new skin growth that comes in clear and healthy.

After your skin heals from the peel treatment, your new skin is stronger and thicker and less likely to form those pesky bags.

IPL Treatments
Although an intense pulsed light or IPL treatment also uses light to rejuvenate the skin and to help remove dark under-eye circles, it’s not the same thing as a laser treatment.

While laser skin resurfacing can help reduce pigmentation and thicken the skin, an IPL treatment is a better option for people who have small blood vessels close to the surface of the skin that are causing dark circles and eye bags.

IPL treatments don’t damage the outer layer of skin the way laser treatments do but will close off any capillaries or vessels just below the skin’s surface, causing them to fade from view. You’ll most likely need several treatments of IPL to get the best results.

Professional Skin Care
Whether your dark circles and under eye bags are mild or severe, they can benefit from a professional skin care regimen. We offer a range of skin care products from a skin care specialist for your specific skin care needs.

With modern, innovative skin care technology, you can find products made with nutrient-rich antioxidants that fight against the signs of aging, improving your skin’s texture and elasticity.

Broken Capillaries & Spider Veins

Book Your Consultation Now!

Get The Clearer Skin You Desire

Broken Capillaries are small blood vessels that appear on the skin’s surface anywhere on the body. They can appear red or purple, and tend to form in clusters.

Not to be confused with varicose veins, broken capillaries or spider veins, because of their web-like appearance, are flat on the skin, not raised.

Luckily, there are ways to reduce the appearance of broken capillaries and get the clear skin you desire, including treatment options that are both efficient and non-invasive.

Effective Broken Capillaries Treatments

Tiny broken capillaries (telangiectasia), also referred to as spider veins are small red to purple dilated blood vessels or broken capillaries, often found on the cheeks, forehead, chin and the nose.

Broken capillaries are typically a symptom of rosacea, chronic sun exposure, inflammation/sensitivity, high blood pressure, or aging, and may also be hereditary in nature.

Broken facial capillaries affect both women and men, and they tend to become more numerous and prominent as we age. Many people find these veins undesirable and unattractive, and seek out our laser treatments as a cosmetic correction.

Our spider vein treatments are a quick and effective way to remove broken capillaries and overall skin redness. Once vessels are treated, they will not return, although it is possible that new vessels may form over time, principally if you are prone to getting them.

Our Broken Capillaries Treatments

Our facial veins treatments are nonsurgical and have little downtime, so you can get back to living your life. We can treat facial spider veins using either sclerotherapy, Excel V or broadband light (BBL) also known as IPL. Our proven procedures have made it possible to remove these broken blood vessels safely without scarring.

Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy effectively treats varicose and spider veins. It involves having an injection that will cause the veins to fade or disappear completely. The sclerosing agent is dextrose and saline. The injectable solution irritates the lining of the vessel, causing it to swell and stick together and the blood to clot. Over a period of a few weeks, the vessels turn into scar tissue and then fade, eventually becoming barely noticeable or invisible however some blood vessels are more resistant, requiring additional treatments.

Excel V
Targeting red, purple and blue facial veins, the medical-grade Excel V laser can treat all of your vascular concerns. The system uses a unique high power green laser that is absorbed by abnormal blood vessels in the skin. This laser heats the abnormal vessels, ultimately restoring normal skin tone and color. In as few as 1 to 3 treatments, unwanted and unsightly vessels and veins are reduced, and symptoms like flushing and blushing are managed.

IPL
A broad spectrum of light is transmitted through a small, smooth, transparent handpiece which is gently placed over the skin. Cut-off filters in the handpiece change the wavelength range allowing it to be customized for different applications and skin types. The laser light penetrates the tissue and is absorbed before the injured tissue is removed by the bodies natural process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will My Face Veins Disappear on Their Own?
Unfortunately, facial veins and capillaries will not disappear on their own. In fact, you will likely see more veins appear as time goes on. Laser treatment is your best option for eliminating them completely, otherwise you can try camouflaging them with makeup.

How Many Treatments are Needed?
The number of treatments required varies with the size and depth of each vein. For the maximum long-term resolution, multiple treatments may be necessary, with the average person needing 3 to 4 treatments. Most people notice significant improvement after one to three treatments.

Does the Laser Treatment Hurt?
Most people say the laser pulse feels like a small rubber band snapping against your skin. Typically our clients do not require medication or an anesthetic; however some opt to use a topical anesthetic.

Say Goodbye To Stubborn Fat With truSculpt 3D®

Book Your Consultation Now!

Sculpt Your Best Body

Rao Dermatology is excited to introduce truSculpt 3D®, a new dimension in non-surgical body sculpting.

This innovative body contouring treatment offers a comfortable, non-surgical option to improve overall body contours by reducing fat and tightening skin tissue without downtime.

This non-surgical solution is ideal for patients who are close to their ideal body weight but have targeted areas which don’t respond well to diet and exercise.

See A Slimmer You With truSculpt 3D®

The reality is that some area of stubborn fat just won’t disappear – no matter how much we diet and exercise. And for years we’ve been told the only way to permanently get rid of this troublesome problem is by way of liposuction, and, more recently, CoolSculpting and Kybella. But Rao Dermtology are proud to now share an updated technology called TruSculpt 3D® which changes everything.

The truSculpt 3D® Advantage

Results can be witnessed after one treatment
Treat up to 4 problem areas in one 1-hour session
No post-treatment discomfort or downtime

How does truSculpt 3D® Work?

TruSculpt 3D® uses a special tool to apply controlled monopolar radio frequency (RF) energy to the patient’s subcutaneous fat. The RF energy heats the patient’s adipose tissue until some of the cells within it break down. The patient’s body then starts to slowly excrete the damaged fat cells via the liver and lymphatic system leading to a more contoured appearance.

When it comes to effective fat reduction, truSculpt 3D® offers improved patient comfort over other radiofrequency (RF) devices. The truSculpt 3D® procedure operates at a different frequency that allows it to heat the fat more deeply and at a uniform temperature. This feature focuses heat on the fat instead of the patient’s skin. Therefore, the skin does not overheat, and patients avoid the burning sensation felt with other RF devices.

How Long does The truSculpt 3D® Procedure Take?
During the entire treatment process (which lasts about 30 minutes to one hour), the patient will be able to sit back and relax—TruSculpt 3D® is entirely painless thanks to the applicator’s ability to keep the skin comfortably cool.

What Areas Does truSculpt 3D® Treat?
truSculpt® 3D reduces fat and improves skin appearance on the back of the arms, bra line, flanks, abdomen and thighs.

How Many Treatments Do Patients Need Before They See Results?
It only takes one session to see noticeable fat reduction and body contouring. With one truSculpt 3D® treatment patients should see over 20% in fat reduction. Patients have the option to schedule more treatments after the first one, but they should be spaced out at least 6-8 weeks apart.

Is the truSculpt 3d® Procedure Painful and Are There Side Effects?
The truSculpt 3D® does not involve pain and there are very few side effects. When our patients get the truSculpt 3D® treatment they usually feel a warm sensation. This sensation is not painful and is very tolerable. After the treatment, patients may experience mild irritation and redness, which will gradually clear up.

Is There Downtime After the truSculpt 3d® Treatment?
No, there is no downtime after the truSculpt 3D® treatment. The truSculpt 3D procedure is non-surgical, so you are able to resume your daily activities without any downtime.

What’s the Difference Between truSculpt 3d® and Coolsculpting®?
truSculpt 3D® uses heat to reduce fat and CoolSculpting uses cold to reduce fat.

Although they are both non-invasive procedures that target and destroy specific fat cells that are naturally expelled by the body, truSculpt 3D uses radiofrequency technology to heat fat cells while CoolSculpting freezes fat cells for fat reduction and body contouring.

Enlighten Laser Tattoo Removal

Book Your Consultation Now!

Your Tattoos Aren’t Permanent Anymore

Despite being around for hundreds of years, tattoos are still increasing in popularity with an estimated 18.25% of the population aged 18 years and older admitting to having some type of body art.

Unfortunately, despite thought and planning, for some people, the love of tattoos doesn’t always last and they come to regret getting inked for life.

The good news is that with advances in technology you no longer have to live with tattoo regret. The Enlighten™ system is an innovative new way to quickly get rid of that ink you would like to forget.

Enlighten™ provides patients with fast, safe, and effective tattoo removal in a fraction of the time compared with lasers of the past.

How Does Englighten™ Differ From Other Laser Tattoo Removal Systems?

Unlike older forms of laser tattoo removal, the Enlighten™ laser supplies dual wavelengths and multiple pulse speeds to increase its effectiveness at removing tattoos. The ‘picosecond’ laser pulses are extremely short and high powered which efficiently and quickly breaks down the ink particles in tattoos. These laser pulses have been shown to remove tattoos more completely and in fewer treatment sessions when compared to older laser removal systems.

Even if you have a very colorful tattoo that has a variety of ink colors throughout the design the Enlighten™ can effectively target these areas which many older tattoo removal systems struggle to do.

The great thing about the Englighten™ is that each session only takes approximately 15-30 minutes depending on the area and while tattoo removal is known to be typically painful, patients who have experienced the Englighten™ tattoo removal system often describe the sensation of the machine as stinging, or similar to a rubberband being popped against the skin and less painful compared to older treatment types.

How Many Sessions Does It Take to Remove a Tattoo With the Enlighten™ Laser?

How many sessions you will need to remove a tattoo depends on a variety of factors; most notably the size of the tattoo, the density, and the colors of ink used. With the innovative Enlighten™ laser, it is not uncommon to begin seeing results after 1-2 sessions; however many patients will need between 3 and 6 sessions for the most dramatic improvement.

We do schedule sessions several weeks apart to give the body time to clear the ink particles and heal. While the Enlighten™ Laser does the work of breaking the ink a part, the body takes over afterwards and works overtime to remove the ink from the skin. The best way to understand how many sessions you may need, is to schedule a consult with us.

Why Are Multiple Sessions Required?
Tattoo ink is deposited deep in the skin. In order to reach all of the ink in the skin, multiple treatment sessions are needed for clearance.

Will My Tattoo Completely Disappear?
In many cases, yes. However, it is important to know that some ink colors are more difficult to get rid of than others. Please schedule a consultation with us to determine if Enlighten™ is right for you and your tattoo removal goals.

Are There Any Side Effects Or Downtime Following The Treatment?
Most patients will experience some redness and swelling immediately following the treatment. These side effects are temporary and patients can return to regular activities immediately following the treatment.

The benefit of Excel V is that the treatment can be highly adjusted to ensure that you are getting the level of treatment that specifically matches the patient’s skin condition.

The system contains various wavelength modes, allowing the delivery of both short pulses for superficial blemishes, such as small lesions and skin discoloration, and longer pulses for deeper vascular conditions, such as leg veins and nodular port wine stains.

It also offers a wide range of laser spot sizes to ensure that small treatment areas can be targeted at greater precision and larger areas can be treated in a shorter period.

This high level of customization is what makes Excel V so effective at treating, often in one session, so many different conditions, which, in the past, would have required several different systems or procedures.

How Many Sessions Are Needed to Achieve Results?

The number of treatment sessions required will depend on the specific condition being treated as well as on the patient’s individual skin and amount of downtime the patient has to offer.

Some patients will see results after just one session, while others may require more. Dr. Rao will let you know during your consultation approximately how many sessions you can expect to see optimal results.

Is the Treatment Painful?

Similar to other lasers, The Excel V laser is fired as a quick pulse of light that typically feels like a rubber band snapping on the skin.

However, Excel V has a built-in cooling system that reduces this discomfort so an anesthetic is not necessary and treatments are more comfortable.

Many patients feel the Excel V with a built-in cooling system is one of the most comfortable laser treatments available. If you are concerned about potential pain, talk to Dr. Rao before your treatment so that she can help try to make your experience as comfortable as possible.

What Are the Side Effects of Excel V?

Excel V has minimal side effects. The most common side effect a patient might see is redness or swelling on the treated areas. In rare cases, bruising may occur. These side effects should not be serious, and often resolve themselves within a few day.

Q-Switch Laser Treatments

Book Your Consultation Now!

Cynosure Affinity QS high-powered Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is one of the most effective and powerful tattoo removal technologies of today.

Using a dual wavelength system it can cover a broad spectrum of tattoo colors. With serial visits, tattoos can now be removed safely and efficiently.

What was once permanent can now be ancient history.

Effective Tattoo Removal With The Q-Switch Laser

Although tattoo trends come and go, the tattoo themselves last forever. Sometimes a once loved tattoo may become somewhat of an eyesore. What may have seemed like a good idea at one point in your life can often fall out of fashion and no longer suit. Luckily, at Rao Dermatology, our Q-Switch laser treatment is an effective mechanism for tattoo removal.

Q-Switched, also known as the Q-Switched Nd-Yag Laser is primarily used to remove, brown spots, freckles, and tattoos from the skin.

How Does The Q-Switch Laser Treatment Work

During a tattoo removal procedure, laser light is applied to the tattooed area of the skin. The light is selectively absorbed by the tattoo ink particles, leaving the surrounding skin tissue and chromophores unharmed.

The tattoo ink particles absorb the laser energy, heat up, and shatter into smaller ink particles.

In the days and weeks following a laser treatment, the body’s immune system flushes away the shattered ink particles, causing the tattoo to fade. Over a series of treatments, more and more of the ink shatters, leaving the skin free of ink.

Tattoo ink can be difficult to shatter and remove, and only Q-switched lasers are able to produce sufficient fluence (energy or power) to remove dark and bright tattoos without unattractive side effects like scarring. Q-switched laser pulses last mere nanoseconds (billionths of a second), providing high levels of fluence for quality ink shattering.

What Kind Of Tattoo Can Be Removed?

A tattoo’s color, depth, and chemical composition all affect how it responds to laser light; though the Q-YAG Laser Tattoo Removal works best on darker colors such as black, red, dark orange and dark blue. Lighter colors such as green, purple, brown, light orange and light blue can also be eliminated effectively, however, may require more treatments.

Does Laser Tattoo Removal Hurt?

The laser light will selectively target the undesired ink or pigment while leaving the other tissues largely unaffected; therefore, most patients report only minor discomfort. Many people compare the sensation of the pulses entering the skin, to the quick snap of a rubber band; however, if such “snaps” make you feel uncomfortable, we may offer you topical anesthesia.

Most patients have experienced only minimal discomfort during the laser tattoo removal procedure. The application of a topical anesthetic can be discussed during your consultation.

What Happens After Laser Tattoo Removal?

Immediately after the procedure, the treated areas may be sensitive and swell slightly. Swelling may last a little longer, but can be reduced by cooling the skin with an ice pack.
The tattoo will fade over the next few weeks. There is little to no downtime related to laser tattoo removal. You should be able to return to work and resume regular activities immediately after the procedure. After each treatment, your skin may be red or feel sunburnt. Each patient’s personal experience of the side effects of treatment will vary.

How Long Does Laser Tattoo Removal Take?

Depending on the size and location of the tattoo, treatment typically takes about 10 to 30 minutes. Some tattoos may completely fade after only one treatment, though most may require a multiple of four or more.

Laser tattoo removal treatments are usually spaced 3 weeks apart, in order to give your body sufficient time to fully eliminate the loosened particles of tattoo ink or pigment.

The number of sessions and required time between each session will depend on several factors; such as, the location of the tattoo, skin type and color, types of inks and colors used, the depth of ink in the skin, the age of the tattoo, and general health of the patient.

Why do I need multiple sessions?

Just like when you got your tattoo, it probably took a few sessions, it is the same with removing your tattoo. That is because tattoo ink is layered into your skin and each removal laser treatment chips away at shattering and dissolving layers of ink which your body will flush away in the weeks after your treatment.

Each time we perform a treatment, we cover the area as completely as possible and break up as much ink as possible. Tattoos that are less dense and just shading are quicker to remove than those with thick, dark lines.

What Side Effects Might I Experience?

Patients most commonly experience some redness, swelling, and minor blistering of the skin after their tattoo removal laser treatment. Blistering is the most common side effect, but left alone to heal, these blisters disappear quickly and leave no long-term damage or mark. Any side effects are very temporary, and your skin will heal completely and quickly. Detailed after-care instructions are always discussed and explained to help clients manage their skin after the treatment.

Sciton Profractional

$Sciton Profractional$ Book Your Consultation Now!

This is a state of the art laser that provides intense skin resurfacing with less downtime.

The Sciton Profractional ablates micro-spherical channels into the skin that triggers your body’s natural healing process to produce rich new collagen stores. After a ProFractional treatment, you will immediately begin to experience tighter and rejuvenated skin.

The benefits of ProFractional include increased patient comfort, shorter healing times, and ability to use in all skin types.

About The Sciton Profractional Procedure

The Sciton Profractional procedure is designed to rejuvenate your complexion and treat a variety of skin conditions related to your skin’s quality. The laser can efficiently improve the health of your skin by making microscopic perforations in the tissue, which stimulate your body’s natural healing process.

As a result, new collagen begins to grow, which can ultimately cause a tightening effect. Unlike other types of laser skin resurfacing, ProFractional™ only treats a small area of the skin that is being targeted. By doing so, the problem areas can be corrected without the need for a long recovery period.

As collagen continues to grow over the course of several months, the overall look and feel of your skin can gradually improve.

What Issues Can Be Addressed?

The advanced nature of the Sciton Profractional laser allows for correction of several skin-related concerns. Whether these perceived imperfections have developed from heredity, age, or another factor, we are pleased to offer Sciton Profractional treatments for patients with the following problems:

Scarring
Stretch marks
Age lines
Melasma
Sunspots or other sun damage
Crepey skin
Uneven skin tone or texture
Large pores

What Can I Expect During the Procedure?

The Sciton Profractional treatment process is relatively fast, with the typical session lasting about 15 to 30 minutes – although, this will vary depending on the extent of your treatment needs. To help you achieve optimal results, we recommend one to four treatment sessions that are three to six weeks apart.

Dr. Rao will work closely with you to create an individualized treatment plan that can help you achieve your ideal aesthetic goals.

Does It Hurt?

To help minimize any pain or discomfort during your treatment, we offer the option of numbing cream to be applied before your treatment for added comfort.

What Can I Expect During Recovery?

Sciton Profractional treats targeted sections of the skin; there is a much faster healing process than more invasive options. Any downtime is typically minimal, spanning about one to three days. During this short recovery time, it is normal to experience mild redness, similar to that of a sunburn. Most patients can return to work and wear makeup within a day or two following their session.

How Long Will the Sciton Profractional Procedure Results Last?

The results following Sciton Profractional treatments typically continue to improve for up to six months after your procedure. Over this time, your skin should gradually tighten, developing a softer, healthier appearance.

Treatment for fine lines and deeper wrinkles

Profractional is an amazing treatment for fine lines and deeper wrinkles, traumatic and acne scarring, and loose sallow skin. It’s deep collagen stimulation is what greatly combats these skin conditions.
