• Nutritional Counseling
  Androgenetic Alopecia, or male or female pattern baldness, is very common. It is caused by by-product of testosterone called DHT. Both men and women may experience it, with about 60% of cases occurring in men. Male pattern hair loss usually occurs at the hairline and on the crown of the head. For women, an overall thinning of the top and crown may occur without a receding hairline. In women, a widened part may result from this thinning. This condition is hereditary, but hair thinning may also be brought about by internal triggers like the aging process, DHT Hormone (genes), cortisol hormone (stress) and diet and nutrition. Some external triggers that may contribute to hair thinning are UV exposure, hair product and styling, environmental pollution and extreme athletic training.

• Ultrasound
  Until recently, short of surgery, there wasn’t much we could do to tighten loose skin. Now, several radiofrequency, ultrasound and phototherapy technologies are currently available.

Surgeons

• Neurosurgery
  PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy has been used for 20 years in the fields of plastic surgery, neurosurgery, sports medicine and more for wound and tissue healing. Now, further application of PRP science for scalp, skin, and hair stimulation marks new possibilities for those desiring a completely natural approach with great results for cosmetic treatments.

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  Botox/Dysport: can help reduce dynamic (associated with muscle movement) facial lines and wrinkles, particularly the deep creases between the eyes and on the forehead and the smaller “crow’s feet†lines on either side of the eyes. Botox/Dysport can be used for treatment of deep vertical lines on the upper and lower lip.
• Liposuction
  Previously, liposuction had been one of the few medical options for reducing fat and contouring the body. This surgical procedure, while effective, is also aggressive and creates trauma in the body. Liposuction patients experience soreness, bruising, and swelling for up to 10 days after the procedure. Recovery after liposuction requires patients to restrict exercise and everyday activities after the procedure.
• Rhinoplasty
  Your nose has a huge impact on your overall appearance. Until recently, the only way to change your nose was with rhinoplasty surgery, otherwise known as a nose job.
• Plastic Surgery
  The delicate  skin of the neck and jawline usually shows the first signs of aging. Fat pockets under the chin or loose skin create some of the first and most obvious textural signs of aging and sun damage. Facial and neck rejuvenation procedures can work hand in hand, with the results complementing each other to create an overall smoother and more youthful appearance. Today, there are several non-invasive alternatives to plastic surgery.
• Face Lift
  As we age, our skin loses its natural elasticity and volume, especially in the face. Traditional facelifts involve surgery, risk and a lengthy recovery time. A less drastic option that can help reverse the signs of aging is sometimes referred to as the liquid facelift.
• Body Contouring
  Today, Dr. Gallacher offers non-surgical, non-invasive alternatives for fat reduction. These skin tightening and body contouring treatments don’t require incisions or anesthesia. They also come with minimal to no downtime. Patients can return to normal activities immediately.
• Chin Augmentation
  There are several advantages to non-surgical chin augmentation. It avoids the risk of traditional surgery (pain, bruising, possibility of infection, or the implant moving out of place). Recovery time is much shorter. There may be some minor swelling, bruising, and tenderness after the treatment, but these usually only last for 2 to 3 days.

Dermatologists

• Cosmetic Dermatology
  Dr. Gallacher, the founder of the Dermatology and Laser Centre is a prominent Board Certified dermatologist and one of the few true experts in Laser Medicine and Surgery. After pursuing her internship and dermatology residency at University of California Davis, she completed a comprehensive one-year fellowship in Laser and Cosmetic Dermatology. She has served on Faculty at University of California, Davis and Stanford University doing research and teaching medical and laser dermatology.
• Skin Cancer

• Dermatology
  Wrinkles, lax skin, age spots and scars can be dramatically reduced with Fractional Ablative Resurfacing or fractional laser skin resurfacing. Dermatology and Laser Centre offers PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy in combination with Fractional Ablative Resurfacing as an option to optimize results.
• Acne Treatment
  Laser treatments: Due to the growing concern of antibiotic resistance, novel light -based approaches of acne treatment have been developed which may limit the need for oral and topical antibiotic use. These treatments can be safely used even during pregnancy; patients undergo one or more sessions of treatments with yellow/green light combined with heat. The laser light mimics the effect of oral antibiotics – it has an anti-inflammatory effect and helps destroy the bacterium (P. acne) that causes acne.
• Cyst
• Fungus
• Lesions
  Laser Therapy: Melanin-specific laser systems, such as VBeam, GentleLase, Medlite C6 or the MicroLaser Peel, are used to lighten or erase a variety of pigmented lesions. Several treatments may be needed to remove a lesion, particularly darker-hued ones.
• Chemical Peels
  Chemical peels are treatments performed by a esthetician to rejuvenate the skin. A chemical solution, applied by a trained specialist, will remove the epidermis, or the top layer of your skin. Similar in concept to Microneedling, but using a different method, chemical peels create controlled trauma to the skin. This kicks in your body’s healing process and stimulates collagen production. The new collagen created results in improved skin elasticity and a smoothed texture. Chemical peels can be used for a number of skin concerns, including...
• Skin Care
  Depending on the type and severity of the condition, Dr. Gallacher encourages patients to moisturize the skin, avoid sun exposure, and keep up a regular cleansing schedule. Cold, damp compresses may help with any swelling or bruising. Most patients experience minimal crusting, redness, or irritation. The skin should regenerate in about 10 to 14 days, with its natural color returning in 2 to 8 weeks. You should use sunscreen (SPF 30+) for several months following the procedure. You may visit our web page to view medical grade skin care products available in our office.
• Microdermabrasion
  Microdermabrasion improves mild to moderate sun damage, scarring, wrinkles and other superficial skin problems. A gentle stream of tiny particles exfoliates the outer layer of skin and provides a fresh, glowing, younger appearance. Only a small amount of skin is removed, so sensitive areas such as the face, chest, neck, arms and hands can be treated. Results are comparable to a light chemical peel and should be immediately visible. Microdermabrasion is often performed in conjunction with other skin renewal procedures, such as laser treatment and chemical peels. We recommend multiple treatments for full effect.
