Sometimes in life, little things mean a lot. Like spider veins on the thighs and legs and ankles and broken capillaries on the face. Many people can’t stand them and would love to see them gone. Fortunately, I have what it takes to make their wishes come true. I treat spider veins by injecting them […]
When I started doing face/neck lifts 3 years ago, my patients took 3 weeks before they could be seen in public without worrying that someone would be frightened of how they looked.
