Whether caused by accidents or by surgery- scars are unpredictable. The way a scar develops depends as much on how your body heals as it does on the original injury or on the surgeon’s skills. While no scar can be removed completely, Dr. Kaweski can often improve the appearance of a scar, making it less obvious through injection or application of certain steroid medications or through surgical procedures known as scar revisions.

Tattoo Removal

Various methods such as excision, dermabrasion, and laser are used to remove a tattoo. The effectiveness of the removal depends on the depth of the ink and the types and colors of inks used. The method depends on the tattoo size and depth as well. Dr. Kaweski will be able to determine what’s right for you at your consultation.

Laser Vein Removal

Say good-bye to unsightly veins once and for all with our spider vein treatment. The legs, arms, and particularly around the nose are common areas for prominent veins. The laser vein treatment works by targeting a specific pigment found in all blood vessels, hemoglobin. The laser administers a pulse of energy that is specifically absorbed by hemoglobin. Therefore, large amounts of laser energy can be directed specifically towards the veins and “collapse” the vessels immediately to eliminate the vessels.
