Dr. M. Christine Lee is an acknowledged leader in cosmetic, dermatologic, and advanced laser skin treatments. Listed below are just some of the cutting edge procedures that Dr. Lee offers.

Zerona

Zerona is the first non-invasive body contouring procedure to effectively remove excess fat without the negative side effects associated with surgical methods. Zerona utilizes the same cold laser technology developed by Erchonia, which has been shown to emulsify fat and allow it to move to interstitial space. Although this technology was originally utilized to help assist tumescent liposuction procedures, it was found that the cold laser treatment alone helped patients to reduce inches from their waist, hip and thighs.

DeepFX & ActiveFX & TotalFX - Fractional Resurfacing

Deep FX, the latest in fractional treatment offered by Dr. Lee., joins the already popular ActiveFX as a powerful way to treat wrinkles, scars, skin tone and texture in as few as one or two treatments with minimum downtime.

ActiveFX targets the epidermal and papillary dermal layers of the skin and is ideal for treating conditions that manifest in the upper layers of the skin, including fine lines, dyschromia, and textural irregularities. DeepFX targets the deep dermal layers of the skin, and provides exceptional results on deep wrinkles, scars, and peri-oral rhytids.

TotalFX is the combination of the DeepFX and the ActiveFX treatments.

Thermage for Body

In 2006, the FDA approved Thermage for use on the body as a safe method of reducing skin laxity in regions such as the arms, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks.

Body by Thermage is a non-invasive treatment used to restore and regenerate collagen deep inside the skin without injections or surgery.

Thermage tightens body skin by using radiofrequency technology that heats the skin’s outer layer, thus stimulating collagen beneath the surface. Patients may feel mild heat as Thermage releases radiofrequency energy, but general anesthesia is not required. The patient’s collagen is renewed and tightened, improving the skin’s texture and tone immediately. New collagen continues to grow during the six months following the Body by Thermage procedure, and patients will see more results as their collagen is restored during this period.

Thermage for Cellulite

This treatment is ideal for patients who have tried diet and exercise or even other cellulite treatments without success. Now they can benefit from:

•A single treatment with no surgery, injections or downtime

•Smoothing of dimples and improved skin texture

•Long lasting results

By using new procedure guidelines and the ThermaTip CL treatment tip, collagen connective tissues are restored and circulation is improved to help smooth skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Results vary from subtle to dramatic. Generally improvements may be immediately visible and continue to improve for up to six months. Results are long lasting and depend on your skin condition and the aging process.

Titan Skin Tightening

The Titan Procedure is a safe, non-surgical process that uses an infrared light source to tighten skin and reverse the signs of aging. The Titan heats the dermis to cause collagen contraction while preserving the epidermis through continuous cooling. In addition, Titan can stimulate long-term collagen rebuilding that leaves patients with younger looking skin. The Titan Procedure treats lax and redundant skin throughout the body – including the abdomen, thighs and underarms – and is also used to tone, lift and tighten skin on the face and neck.

PW770 Laser Hair Removal

The Programmable Wavelength 770  (ProWave 770) IPL device is the latest in the new wave of hair removal devices. Dr. Lee performed the clinical studies for Cutera, the manufacturer of the PW770, and her results showed the PW770 to be much more effective and quicker than competing IPL hair removal devices. It is the first infrared programmable wavelength spectra for hair removal.

Eyes by Thermage

This new procedure allows Dr. Lee to reduce hooding, improve texture, tone and smoothness of the eye area, and soften fine lines and crow’s feet.

Eyes by Thermage, like all Body by Thermage procedures, uses a unique, deep-heating monopolar capacitive radiofrequency technology to stimulate and tighten existing collagen as well as activate new collagen growth. Patients benefit from a single treatment with no downtime. Results are subtle and improve over time as new collagen forms.
