What are spider and varicose veins?

Spider veins, or telangiectasias, are those tiny purple and red blood vessels found most commonly on the thighs or lower legs of women. They are hereditary and can form anywhere on the leg, from the top of the thigh to the ankle. Occasionally, spider veins appear on the face. Varicose veins are larger. They can appear raised with a bluish color and can become quite painful.

Dr. Jerry Cooper performs a simple office procedure called Sclerotherapy for patients throughout metro Atlanta, including Buckhead, Dunwoody and Decatur, to permanently eliminate or minimize your spider veins and varicose veins.

What are the limitations of Botox Cosmetic?

Radiesse For Depleted Collagen

What is RADIESSE?

RADIESSE is the first calcium hydroxylapatite injectable cohesive implant used for soft tissue augmentation. Over the last several years, RADIESSE has proven to be a safe and effective alternative for those patients wishing to avoid the potential side effects of bovine and solid implant materials. 

RADIESSE consists of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a biocompatible carboxymethylcellulose gel. It is long lasting and does not require a skin test because it is the same mineral component found in our bones and teeth.

By supplementing your skin's own depleted collagen with RADIESSE, we can smooth out wrinkles and most scars. We can also improve the appearance of deeper frown lines and nasal furrows. RADIESSE is a safe, effective, time-tested, non-surgical wrinkle treatment that provides immediate results.

This treatment is performed for patients throughout metro Atlanta, including Buckhead, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Decatur, Emory, Lilburn and Tucker.

Using the advanced IPL system, your doctor gently delivers precise amounts of light energy through your skin's surface. Treatments are spaced at 3 week intervals. The energy is delivered at specific settings for each treatment to maximize your results.
The light energy stimulates the production of collagen. As the new collagen forms, it softens the appearance of aging skin. Fine lines and wrinkles are decreased. The redness associated with rosacea can be dramatically reduced. Brown spots are reduced or eradicated.
