Teeth Whitening

Give us an hour and we will refresh your smile!

A non-surgical, cosmetic procedure utilizing the cutting edge Infinity Pro teeth whitening system which combines LED technology with an exclusively formulated whitening gel for a system designed to give dramatic results fast. The specially formulated whitening gel contains more than just ingredients for whitening, it actually contains a proprietary catalyst which when combined with the LED light activates the whitening gel to work at a faster rate, resulting in a brighter smile in less time.

Each appointment consists of three 12 minute sessions to maximize your results. Additional sessions, usually every three months, are needed to maintain the whiteness of the teeth.

Results will vary from patient to patient. Teeth will often be 7-10 shades whiter following the initial appointment depending on patient's teeth health. Certain foods, drinks, and smoking can all affect the longevity of the results. It is recommended to use the Infinity maintenance spray between visits to help teeth look their whitest. Patients with certain dental work may not benefit from this teeth whitening treatment. Consult with our office today to learn if LED teeth whitening is right for you!

Botox®

BOTOX® Cosmetic is an FDA approved botulinum toxin administered by a cosmetic surgeon that is injected directly into targeted muscles to temporarily improve the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines and wrinkles. It works by blocking nerve impulses which reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form from activity.

Wrinkles and lines do not discriminate - BOTOX® Cosmetic is perfect for women and men! Squinting, smiling, frowning, furrowing of the forehead and other expressions cause lines, wrinkles and folds. BOTOX® Cosmetic relaxes those muscles to reduce the wrinkle formation and allow for skin to be smooth and fresh.

Results will be fully visible within 2-4 days and will last for 3-4 months. Additional BOTOX® treatments are needed to maintain the skin’s refresh, smooth appearance.

JUVÉDERM®

Everyone will notice, but no one will know! Consider FDA approved JUVÉDERM® products to rejuvenate and smooth away unwanted wrinkles and folds and restore natural contours with added volume.

Using the dermal filler, JUVÉDERM®, is a safe and effective way to replace the hyaluronic acid your skin has lost through aging, sun exposure, smoking and other life stressors. The lack of hyaluronic acid causes skin to lose its structure and volume which result in unwanted facial wrinkles and folds.

Target areas such as your laugh, smile, and frown lines! Even your marionette lines and under eye dark circles can be refreshed and rejuvenated with JUVÉDERM®. With JUVÉDERM®’s ability to replenish volume and create a natural, full appearance, it can also be used to enhance the lips.

Most patients only need one treatment to achieve optimal results. The number of syringes needed will vary depending on the number of targeted areas and the depth of the wrinkles and folds. The results should last between 6 to 9 months, but individual results may vary.



Laser Tattoo Removal

The Palomar® laser system is a high powered laser that removes unwanted tattoos and pigmented lesions by emitting a highly focused beam of laser light. The beam passes harmlessly through the outer layer of the skin and is absorbed by the excess pigment (tattoo ink) within the skin without harming the surrounding healthy cells. This light beam is then converted to heat. The heat creates a rise in the temperature of the targeted area fracturing or breaking the pigment into tiny particles. The particles are then carried away naturally by the body’s lymphatic system – essentially disappearing.

A wide range of pigmented lesions and tattoos can be successfully treated. A tattoo’s characteristics such as the color, depth, and the ink’s chemical composition all affect the laser’s response. Certain colors of light are absorbed by specific colors of the tattoo ink. Ink colors such as black, red, and dark blue respond quickly to treatments. Green, purple, brown, light orange and light blue colors will respond, but they may require more treatments than the dark ink colors.

Depending on the size and location of the tattoo, each treatment will take about 10-20 minutes. Light, faint tattoos may fade after only one treatment, but most tattoos will require five or more treatments to receive the ultimate result. Spacing the treatments about six weeks apart will allow for the loosened particles previously targeted to fully exit the body. With no prep or downtime to this treatment, consult with Myrtle Beach Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Guanciale, and our licensed esthetician and receive your treatment the same day!



Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal treatments just become more comfortable! Now offering the Advanced Contact Cooling technology to maximize your comfort during treatments, it’s much easier to rid yourself of unwanted hair forever!

Perfect for men and women of any skin type, Dr. Guanciale’s FDA Palomar® IPL (intense pulsed light) laser hair removal system targets all areas of the body including the face, back, chest, legs, bikini line and underarms in a comfortable setting, with cost-effective treatments with minimal risk and downtime.

Our highly targeted laser technology destroys the structures of the new hair growth literally at the root of the unwanted hair. The treatment disables the hair follicle's ability to continue hair production. For the laser to be successful, the hair follicle must be in an active growth stage. Hair follicles have different stages of growth and hair cycles so multiple sessions will be required to target each of the growth stages and cycles to get rid of the unwanted hair.

While laser hair removal works best in lighter skinned, darker haired patients, our IPL technology delivers specific wavelengths, with large spot sizes, superior contact cooling and smooth pulse technology for clients of all skin types, hair colors as well as finer hair.

Treatments are usually performed at 4-6 week intervals and typically, a full treatment course is 5-6 treatments to ensure permanent hair reduction.

Immediately following a laser hair removal treatment, your skin may have some mild redness which will last for a few hours. Over the course of the next week, the treated hair will fall out mainly unnoticed.

Are you ready to get rid of that unwanted hair? Consult with Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Jerry Guanciale, and get started today!



Microdermabrasion

Improve, even eliminate superficial skin problems with Microdermabrasion for all skin types!

A non-surgical, non-chemical, non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses natural mineral crystals to gently remove superficial layers of the epidermis dry, dead skin cells resulting in fresh, smooth, younger skin. The treatment’s vacuum action stimulates circulation, collagen and elastin formation which results in improved skin elasticity and the productions of new skin cells.

In just less than 30 minutes, Microdermabrasion can improve or eliminate superficial skin problems. Improve skin’s texture and appearance after one treatment. Pores, fine lines, and wrinkles may be reduced. Sun damaged, uneven skin looks refreshed.

Microdermabrasion is not just for the face!

Microdermabrasion works to polish and refine the skin all over the body. Just as Microdermabrasion is used on the face to diminish the appearance of lines, wrinkles, scars, and discoloration, it can also be used on your hands, chest, arms, and more!

Microdermabrasion treatments alone offer immediate benefits! Optimal results are visible upon the completion of all recommended microderm sessions. Multiple treatments sessions spaced a week or two apart combined with the proper skin care products and either laser skin rejuvenation or a skin peel will ensure maximum results to a refreshed, younger looking you!

Laser Treatment for Stretch Marks/Striae: Clearer Skin with Smooth, Natural Texture

FDA approved, this Palomar® fractional laser treatment is an excellent aesthetic solution for the millions of women with stretch marks due to puberty, pregnancy, hormonal changes and weight gain. These lift changes can leave unsightly striations on the skin.

During a stretch mark treatment, the Lux1540 laser delivers an array of high-precision microbeams to create deep, narrow columns of coagulation in the epidermis and dermis.

This triggers a restorative natural healing process that creates healthy new tissue, including the deposition of new collagen. Palomar®'s Lux1540 fractional non-ablative skin resurfacing laser minimizes the appearance of stretch marks with no downtime by improving the unsightly color and skin texture associated with stretch marks, leaving patients with smoother, better-looking skin.



Laser Scar Removal for Acne and Surgical Scars for all skin types

Surgical Scars:

Surgical scar removal procedures are painful, invasive and bring risk for complications. Our Palomar® laser scar removal treatment offers a noninvasive solution that uses fractional laser technology to deliver rapid, reliable scar removal with less risk, less pain and minimal downtime. Laser scar removal is appropriate for use on all skin types. Using fractional laser light to create micro-columns of coagulated tissue that extend deep into the dermis without ablating the epidermis, the wound-healing process is triggered which replaces the disorganized, compacted scar tissue with healthy new tissue. The result is a greatly diminishing the appearance of the scar tissue. For maximum results, multiple treatments spaced appropriately are recommended.

Acne and Acne Scars:

Treating acne with pulsed light can deliver better aesthetic results, especially on inflammatory acne, without the side effects associated with topical and oral acne medications. Acne Palomar® IPL treatments target and destroy the skin bacteria responsible for acne to help prevent future breakouts. Commonly used on the face, chest and back, the pulsed light technology delivers a spectrum of light that is absorbed by porphyrins within skin, destroying P. acnes bacteria and inhibiting future acne breakouts. Using the right amount of light in the right spot size will maximize each treatment outcome. To treat acne scars, targeted pulses of laser light are used to coagulate scar tissue and trigger healthy new tissue to form. Patients have minimal healing time is minimal with little to no pain or risk of infection risk. Multiple treatments may be suggested depending on the patient's desired outcome.



Laser Wrinkle Treatment

With so much emphasis on facial beauty, wrinkle treatments are in demand now more than ever. Palomar® fractional ablative laser treatments allow for a cost-effective treatment for wrinkles requiring minimal recovery time with noticeable, long-lasting results. Periorbital and perioral wrinkle treatment through the use of the fractional ablative laser generates areas of ablation bordered by residual layers of tissue coagulation, which are then surrounded by healthy tissue. The healthy tissue surrounding the treated areas permit rapid re-epithelialization of the epidermis in as little as 12 hours. Unlike traditional CO2 treatments that are painful and requires extensive downtime, the laser wrinkle treatment uses laser light pulses that penetrate the skin to just the right depth and with just the right level of heat to evoke a dramatic healing response that promotes collagen production and diminishes the appearance of fine lines especially around the eyes and mouth.



Laser Skin Resurfacing & Rejuvenation

Fractional laser skin resurfacing with our Palomar® laser will maximize the aesthetic outcome while minimizing procedure risk and downtime. It is the perfect choice for the treatment of wrinkles, melasma, unwanted textural irregularities, crow's feet, blotchy skin and more, on virtually any trouble spot on the body - face, neck, chest, arms, legs. Fractional skin resurfacing uses laser energy micro beams to create areas of affected tissue that extend through the epidermis into the dermis with a grooved line injury pattern on skin that increases ablative tissue coverage while preserving the benefits of fractional column approaches.

Our lasers and pulsed light devices deliver energy to target and destroy vascular and pigmented lesions associated with spider veins, reticular veins, rosacea, telangiectasias, hemangiomas, sun damage, age spots, dyschromia, melasma, poikiloderma, and angiomas. Through selective photothermolysis, these treatments target different chromophores in the skin, which selectively absorb the laser or light energy as heat. The optimal wavelengths of light clear vascular and pigmented lesions by targeting the chromophores of hemoglobin (for vascular lesions) and melanin (for pigmented lesions). The damaged lesions are cleared by the body and the lesion is removed from the skin. Pigmented lesions undergo a mild desquamation and slough off days. Vascular lesions blanch and resolve within 10 to 14 days.
