We are a full-service organization, with a number of specialities.
Endovenous Laser Treatment - A minimally invasive image-guided technique in which a catheter bearing a laser fiber is inserted under ultrasound
guidance into the great saphenous vein (GSV) or small saphenous vein (SSV) through a small puncture. This causes the vein
to close as the fiber is gradually removed, allowing blood to be diverted to normal veins with functional valves.
- Microphlebectomy (Ambulatory Phlebectomy)
- A treatment for superficial varicose veins. The procedure involves the removal of the varicose veins through
small 2-3 mm incisions in the skin overlying the veins. The procedure may be performed in a hospital or outpatient setting.
This procedure can be preformed with tumescent local anesthesia, such as lidocaine.
- Ligation
- Is the act of making a ligature (tie). In
medicine, a ligature is a device, similar to a tourniquet, usually of thread or string, tied around a limb, blood vessel or
something similar to restrict blood flow. This procedure is used when Varicose Veins are not amenable to laser or Sclerotherapy.
Sclerotherapy - A procedure
used to treat blood vessels or blood vessel malformations (vascular malformations) and also those of the lymphatic system.
A medicine is injected into the vessels, which makes them shrink. It is used for children and young adults with vascular
or lymphatic malformations. In adults, sclerotherapy is often used to treat varicose veins or spider veins.
- Microdermabrasion
- (Often referred to as a Microderm) A
cosmetic procedure popular in day spas, doctors' practices and medical spas in which the stratum corneum (dead outermost
surface of the skin) is partially or completely removed by light abrasion. Different methods include mechanical abrasion
from jets of zinc oxide or aluminum oxide crystals, fine organic particles or a roughened surface. Particles are removed
off through the wand/hand-piece through which the abrasive particles are on.
Botox - Used to soften the frown lines between the eyebrows
and wrinkle lines near the eyes on the forehead. Clinicians first applied tiny doses of the toxin in a medicinal sense
to treat crossed eyes and uncontrollable blinking. Allergan, Inc., a pharmaceutical company that focused on prescription
eye therapies bought the rights to the drug after the cosmetically desirable effects of Botox were discovered. FDA approved
Botox in 2002 and is now the most common cosmetic operation done in the United States.

Juvederm - An FDA approved non-absorbable
injectable dermal filler for the correction of wrinkles known as smile lines or nasolabial folds. It is a formulation
of medical grade polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres and bovine collagen used by dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons
and plastic surgeons to treat smile lines. The PMMA microspheres in Juvederm are not absorbed by the body and therefore
provide long lasting support for wrinkle correction.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) - A technology that is employed
in the treatment of medical disorders of the skin, including: sun damage induced dyspigmentation and vascular changes, poikiloderma
of Civatte, Acne Rosacea, broken capillaries/telangiectases, vascular and pigmented birth marks. This new technology
incorporates 'dual mode filtering' and other important advanced which result in safer and more effective treatment
than the older systems--which were initially designed for simple processes such as hair removal.
Laser Hair Removal- Performed using the Intense
Pulsed Light (IPL) as well. The IPL Epilators, though technically not a laser, use xenon flash lamps that emit full
spectrum light. Laser and light-based methods, sometimes called phototricholysis or photoepilation, are now most commonly
referred to collectively as "Laser Hair Removal."
Laser Vein Treatment (Telangiectasias)- are often treated with laser or IPL therapy. Laser therapy uses light beam that is pulsed onto the veins in
order to seal them off, causing them to dissolve. These light-based treatment requires adequate heating of the veins.
For optimal results, several laser treatments are usually necessary. A Sclerosant medication is injected into the diseased
vein which causes it to harden and eventually shrinks away.
- Massage Therapy
- (derived from the French massage
"friction of kneading," and possibly from Arabic massa "to touch, feel handle" or from Latin
massa"mass, dough") A treatment and/or practice of manipulation of the soft body tissues with physical,
functional, mechanical, medical/therapeutic and in some cases emotional purposes and goals. Massage involves acting
and manipulating the patient's body with pressure (structured, unstructured, stationary and/or moving), tension, motion
or vibration done manually or with mechanical aids. Target tissues may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints
or other connective tissue, as well as, lymphatic vessels and/or organs of the gastrointestinal system. Massage can
be applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, forearm and feet with there being over 80 different types of massage. The
most cited reasons for introducing massage was patient demand and clinical effectiveness.
- LA Lipo
- A less invasive, safer and more effective procedure that uses a fat melting laser to penetrate stubborn
fat which is then suctioned out through a minuscule tube for little to no scarring. We then use the laser fiber to tone
and tighten the area where the fat was removed. Renovo takes the extra time and commitment to add endermologie
to the treatment where the suction and tightening ensures the best quality for your time and money.
- Endermologie
- Also referred
to as LipoMassage. This treatment uses a machine that non-evasively suctions the skin into the machine and rolls the skin
out, breaking up the fat externally. The fat then goes into the body and then excreted out. This is mostly used for
stubborn areas or cellulite.
- LipoDissolve
- A cosmetic procedure in which drug mixtures are injected into
patients with the goal of breaking down fat. This practice, using drugs generally based on phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate (PCDC), evolved from the initial intravenous use of those drug formulations to treat blood disorders.
