  CoolSculpting

  The names for it are so cute. We’ve all heard the classic “muffin top,” “spare tire,” “love handles,” and “pooch.” Or, perhaps the more creative “dunlop disease,” “mommy muffin,” or “extra storage.” No matter how inventive the moniker, stubborn deposits of fat aren’t funny – they can wreck your figure, your wardrobe, and your self-image. CoolSculpting is a body treatment that is ideal for those looking to permanently reduce fat on certain areas of the body.

• Dysport & Xeomin

  Dysport is an injectable solution that will help treat or improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines that have formed between the eyebrows. It is very similar to other cosmetic procedures, such as Botox, but it does not have the potential to temporarily hinder facial movements or change the overall appearance of the face. Dysport is available by prescription only and must be administered by a trained healthcare provider, like Dr. Vivian Bucay and her staff. Xeomin is a prescription injection that is used to help temporarily improve facial aesthetics. This prescription injection is a solution that contains botulinum toxin type A. It specifically targets moderate to severe frown lines that have appeared between the eyebrows. San Antonio Dermatologist, Dr. Vivian Bucay and her team at Bucay Center for Dermatology and Aesthetics can help you explore whether or not Xeomin is the right solution for your current needs.

• Dermal Fillers

  Dermal fillers based on hyaluronic acid gently replace what has been lost in the skin due to the aging process. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar compound that occurs naturally in the human body, aiding in the lubrication of joints and eyes, and moisturizing the skin. Although the body produces this acid naturally, production diminishes with age, and the skin shows signs of sun damage, stress, and other factors. Applying hyaluronic acid in areas where lines and creases have formed fills lines immediately while also encouraging ongoing production for months of beauty.

• Skin Tightening

  Ultherapy™ uses focused ultrasound technology to visualize and to treat the deep structures that support the skin. It is this ability to visualize and then target specific areas to be treated that sets Ultherapy apart. The visible tightening and lifting that develop over the 3 to 6 months after treatment are due to the effects of the ultrasound energy on the superficial muscular layer along with an increase in collagen production in the deep layers of skin. Pellevé is another great face refresher. This comfortable process (which feels something like a warm facial massage) sends gradual radiofrequency to deep skin layers. This allows heat to build at the point where the skin meets the underlying layer of fat, to stimulate collagen production. Keep in mind that collagen provides natural structure for your skin to maintain thickness and resist sagging. Treatments are typically done once a month for a total of three to four sessions, and maintenance usually involves one session every six months.

• Chemical Peels

  The Egyptian queen, Cleopatra, was legendary for many reasons, one of which was her flawless complexion. Way back in 30 BC she knew the secret of beautiful skin – chemical peels. She luxuriated in milk baths containing lactic acid. Today’s chemical peels still utilize that compound, as well as glycolic acid (a sugar cane derivative), salicylic acid from willow tree bark, and many other natural formulations. Peels are a comfortable, non-invasive, non-surgical means to improve the appearance of: Acne and acne scars Fine lines and wrinkles Sun damage Melasma (hyperpigmentation) Age spots Tone and texture imperfections On the face, neck, and chest.

• FemTouch Vaginal Rejuvenation

  Vaginal health is an important aspect of a woman’s wellbeing. The construct of the vaginal canal is an important detail that should not be overlooked. As women age and go through life experiences such as childbirth and hormonal shifts, changes occur within the lining of the vagina. We refer to this as vaginal atrophy which approximately 80% of women live with. Bucay Center for Dermatology and Aesthetics offers FemTouch Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation to correct this and other concerns.

• Laser Hair Removal

  Many of us have a love-hate relationship with our hair. We love it when it grows where it should, and hate it when it grows in places where we’d rather not have hair. As a culture, we spend a great deal of time, money, and discomfort to be temporarily free of unwanted hair by shaving, waxing, tweezing, and using depilatory creams and devices. Women want sleek, sexy legs; clean underarms; and a bikini line that looks attractive in any outfit. Men want smooth, low maintenance faces, chests, backs, and heads. Dr. Vivian Bucay, your dermatologist in San Antonio, has a long-term solution – laser hair removal. Using advanced technology and medical precision, Dr. Vivian Bucay helps men and women enjoy the aesthetics and convenience of less hair.

  Fraxel Dual

  Fraxel is one of the most advanced cosmetic dermatology treatments currently available. The technology includes a hand-held device that smartly scans your skin to ensure safety and consistent results. The device delivers fractional lasers that penetrate the top layers of skin and stimulates collagen under the skins surface. Meanwhile, it resurfaces the top layer of your skin. This procedure works with your skin’s natural rejuvenation process to smooth wrinkles and minimize the appearance of scars. Many people long to rewind the clock a few years and get back the face they used to have. However, many patients in San Antonio don’t know where to turn.

  Eclipse Micropen

  The field of aesthetic medicine has continued to expand with innovative ways to address the common signs of aging. In our dermatology centers in the San Antonio area, we provide gentle care that effectively handles fine lines, wrinkles, loose skin, hyperpigmentation, scarring, and other concerns. One of the treatments gaining a lot of positive attention is micro-needling, also called CIT, or Collagen Induction Therapy.The idea behind micro-needling is to cause controlled micro-injuries on small areas of skin. Because of these tiny “wounds,” the body produces elastin and collagen to heal them. Through this healing process, the dermis becomes thicker and lines and wrinkles become less noticeable. The tool we use for micro-needling is the Eclipse Micropen™, a device that also makes micro-channels in the skin for the maximum absorption of topical serums, creams, and gels in the treatment of various skin conditions.
