Age spots can be effectively removed in the office by freezing the areas with liquid nitrogen. This causes the brown spots to form a reddish-tan crust that peels off in 10-14 days to reveal normal skin.

Botox Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that is very effective in reducing the wrinkles between the brows, on the forehead and in the crows feet area around the eyes.

It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). More on this product
Now you can reveal the naturally younger-looking you with EVOLENCE®
As we age, our skin changes. The youthfulness of our skin begins to diminish as lines and wrinkles start to appear. This is largely due to collagen loss, which results in an aged or tired appearance. Now, there's a breakthrough treatment that naturally refreshes your appearance, so you can look as young as you feel.
What is EVOLENCE®?
EVOLENCE® dermal filler represents a breakthrough in treating the effects of aging by replacing the collagen you've lost with collagen that lasts. A truly novel dermal filler, EVOLENCE® can immediately improve and refresh your appearance by smoothing out and softening the appearance of unwanted facial wrinkles and folds, and restoring structure and facial contour in volume-depleted areas. The visible, natural-looking results are achieved immediately, with minimal-to-no downtime, so you can get right back to your daily activities. EVOLENCE® is the first and only collagen dermal filler to provide immediate results that last through 12 months, so you avoid the costly repeat treatments often associated with
other fillers.
As with all cosmetic procedures, EVOLENCE® is injected personally by Dr. Bittenbender. Your desired results may be achieved in just one visit. Dr. Bittenbender will help you determine the best treatment approach for achieving your desired results. More on this product

Your answer to beautiful skin
What can M.D. FORTÉ skin care products do for me?
M.D. FORTÉ contains alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) to normalize the exfoliation process and increase moisturization of your skin. These processes generally slow down with age and exposure to the sun. AHA sheds, or exfoliates, dead cells of the outer layer of the epidermis, making it thinner and more compact. As the dry outer layer is exfoliated by AHA, younger, healthier, smoother-looking skin is revealed.
How does M.D. FORTÉ® differ from other AHA skin care products?
M.D. FORTÉ® products contain up to 2 to 3 times higher levels of glycolic acid than other similar products at comparable prices, without irritation. Made to a consistently high standard, M.D. FORTÉ® products deliver results. Combine this with the expertise of a physician and you get the very best and most personal formula for anti-aging skin care.
When can I expect to see results?
Your skin will most likely become softer and smoother within a few days. Improvement will occur with continued use. In approximately 2 to 6 weeks you should begin to see and feel visible results, depending on the condition of your skin prior to use. The look of fine lines will diminish and the overall tone and texture of your skin will become more even. Additionally, glycolic acid peels by a physician can accelerate results.
I used to worship the sun. Is it too late to correct the damage I've done?
It's never too late to fight back! First, get a complete evaluation of your skin from your physician. Then together, choose and M.D. FORTÉ regimen that's right for your skin type. Ask for M.D. FORTÉ Skin Rejuvenation skin care products with alpha-hydroxy acids and vitamins A and E. This clinically proven formula works within the skin's surface where wrinkles begin. Used daily, it will minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles and soften and smooth skin for a healthier, younger-looking complexion.

Microdermabrasion
The new dawn for diamond skin rejuvenation
Moles are typically removed in the office with a local anesthetic. The mole is shaved off at skin level and then the skin is lightly cauterized with an electric needle. There are no stitches and the area typically heals in two to three weeks.
Mole removal is usually covered by insurance if the mole is irritated by clothing, shaving, or other activities, or if the mole has changed in size or color, or if the mole has been itchy, tender or has bled.
NeoStrata physician-dispensed products are the results of decades of rigorous research with AHAs and PHAs, allowing qualified professionals to offer their patients AHA effectiveness with significantly less irritation. NeoStrata products improve the visible signs of aging or sun-damaged skin, and treat dermatological conditions including acne, dry skin, hyperkeratosis and skin clarity. Uniquely formulated with alpha hydroxyacids (AHAs), polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) and Bionic PHAs, these products can also enhance the therapeutic treatments and skincare performed and recommended by physicians.

Sclerotherapy for Spider Veins
Spider veins can be effectively reduced in appearance with sclerotherapy which is a treatment done in the office. Using a fine guage needle a concentrated salt water solution is injected into the veins. This causes the veins to become inflammed and then over the next three to four weeks the veins contract or "sclerose" and become much less apparent.
Most patients need a minimum of two to three treatments which are scheduled at least a month apart.
The cost of the treatment is $280 per treatment session. Multiple veins are treated in a session.
This procedure is not covered by insurance and as is the case with all cosmetic treatments half of the fee is due one week prior to the procedure and the balance due the day of the treatment.
