Mohs Surgery
Report
Mohs surgery is a specialized technique of skin cancer surgery named after Dr. Frederick Mohs, who pioneered the special way in which the tissue margins are examined. Mohs surgery has the advantage of finding out the results the same day, rather than facing the risk of having to go back to take more tissue later if the cancer was not completely removed.
Laser for Redness, Hair and Acne
Report
Dr. Shim has performed laser surgery for over a decade and has had special fellowship training in this area. Dr. Shim is the only person who will perform these treatments on you. Many patients complain about redness, broken vessels or capillaries, rosacea and brown splotching from sun damage that occurs on the face, neck and chest.
Fractioned Laser for Wrinkles
Report
Fractionated carbon dioxide lasers can improve aging skin, sagging, wrinkles, brown spots and scars. One of the greatest breakthroughs in laser surgery in the last 15 years, fractionated carbon dioxide lasers treat these conditions with faster healing times. Dr. Shim has had a great deal of experience in traditional carbon dioxide full-face laser resurfacing and is very pleased to offer these treatments in the Santa Monica office.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
Report
BOTOX(R) Cosmetic (Allergan) injections treat forehead, brow and crow's feet wrinkles and vertical lines of the neck. BOTOX(R) works by inhibiting involuntary muscle contraction, which worsens these wrinkles. Patients with excessive sweating can see a significant temporary reduction of their condition due to an inhibition of sweat gland secretions.
Mini-Facelift
Report
Some patients require only minimal surgery to obtain improvement of sagging jowls and cheeks. Patients with mild to moderate sagging are ideal candidates for a mini-facelift. The mini-facelift provides the advantage of less extensive surgery and quicker healing times. Unlike the full facelift, this procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and involves a shorter incision and less stretching and pulling of the skin.
