The primary ingredient in Upneeq, oxymetazoline hydrochloride, is a familiar one. It is the same main ingredient found in popular decongestant nasal sprays, such as Afrin, known for working quickly and effectively to reduce congestion.

In fact, when used topically in Upneeq, this same active ingredient stimulates eyelid muscle contraction so that you can experience fast-acting relief from your eyelid dysfunction symptoms. This means that you can trust that Upneeq contains an effective and well-known active ingredient that will work quickly, making it an ideal solution to provide you with immediate relief and comfort.

Veinwave™ is a minimally invasive treatment that uses the principle of thermocoagulation to permanently remove spider veins, also known as thread veins or telangiectasia.

Thread veins are dilated or broken blood vessels that appear near the surface of the skin. They are usually red, purple or pink and measure between 0.5 and 1 mm in diameter. Spider veins usually affect the face and legs, but they can appear almost anywhere on the body. In most cases, these tiny veins are harmless. However, some find them to be unsightly and seek treatment with Veinwave™ and similar therapies.

The Veinwave™ treatment was developed in 2001 by Dr. Brian Newman, MD, a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. The procedure uses microwave energy to cause thermocoagulation of spider veins. The Veinwave™ generator is attached to a fine-tipped, insulated needle that is inserted near the affected vein to deliver microwave energy. The microwaves generate heat in the area, destroying the problem vein.

The procedure can be performed in the office in 15 minutes or less and without anesthesia. There is no need for downtime or aftercare, making Veinwave™ treatment ideal for patients seeking “lunchtime procedures” that can fit their busy lifestyle.

Many people experience hands with more prominent veins than they would prefer. These veins are often the same kind of bulging varicose veins that develop elsewhere on the body, like the arms or legs. For the most part, these veins are only a cosmetic issue and rarely turn into a health concern. Hand rejuvenation, or the removal of those varicose veins, is performed with sclerotherapy. Typically, patients only need about two sessions to achieve ideal results.

Morpheus8 is a hand-held device that provides two treatments in one: microneedling and fractional radiofrequency rejuvenation. It was designed to increase collagen production and remodel adipose tissue to tighten and brighten almost any area of the body.

The device has 12 to 40 coated micro pins that perforate the skin, simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy. The radiofrequency energy — which can pe*****te deeper into the subdermal tissue than microneedling alone — causes controlled heating in the subdermal tissue. This combination of microneedling with radiofrequency stimulates both adipose tissue coagulation (fat burning) and the production of new collagen for tighter, smoother skin.

The Morpheus8 procedure is minimally invasive and relatively quick, with barely any downtime. Most patients benefit from at least three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. We can even combine Morpheus8 with other cosmetic procedures, including PRP, to provide patients with more results.

Upneeq is a prescription eye drop approved by the FDA for blepharoptosis, or droopy eyelids. It's easy to use - just put one drop into the affected eye once daily - and it's proven to be effective for most people in a short amount of time.

Upneeq has also been found to offer long-term benefits and may improve overall ocular comfort. With its convenience and effectiveness, Upneeq could be the answer you've been looking for to restore and maintain a healthy level of clear vision that fits your lifestyle or aesthetic preference.

Dr. Leary uses both VenClose and laser treatment options in his office, depending on the patient’s particular anatomy. Both VenClose and laser ablation are quick and effective for treating venous insufficiency. Both use heat to close the problem vein from the inside. Dr. Leary’s laser machine is a 1470nm laser, which is a better and more advanced option than some of the earlier lasers that actually cauterized the problem vein. The 1470nm laser has proven to be highly effective yet very gentle, and results in less post-operative discomfort, and is Dr. Leary’s choice when it comes to very short problem veins. Because it can pass through more tortured and curved veins a little more easily than VenClose, Dr. Leary usually recommends also laser ablation to patients with that condition. Patients with large straight veins in contrast, respond very well to VenClose. Dr. Leary will decide which procedure is best for you after a vein examination.

Sclerotherapy has made a major evolution with the introduction of Microfoam. Traditional sclerotherapy causes damage to the lining of the vein, causing it to collapse and making the walls of the vein then stick together. The vein is then slowly reabsorbed and disappears. Foam Sclerotherapy works in the same way only it is much more efficient. Foam is made by adding Co2 to a liquid sclerosant such as the detergent Polidocanol (Asclera). The liquid and the C02 are agitated to produce a foam mixture. The foam is then injected directly into the vein. Foam is not diluted like the conventional sclerosant, so much less is needed and it remains in the vein for a longer period of time. Foam also works better because it pushes the blood out of the vein and makes a better contact with the vein walls. This enables us to treat much larger veins with liquid Sclerotherapy.

Another advantage to using foam is that it is very echogenic, making it very easy to see on ultrasound. We can track the entire vein that has been treated. We also track the travel of the foam in a particular vein and stop the flow by applying pressure with the ultrasound probe, then flow can then be redirected if necessary. The selective treatment of veins with foam is more complete than with surgical removal or microphlebectomy.
