New Topical treatment for Solar Keratoses

A solar keratosis is a scaly, inflamed dime sized growth on the sun exposed areas of the body. Over time, 1 in 10 solar keratoses can become a squamous cell carcinoma. Many dermatologists are trained to use liquid nitrogen cryotherapy to destroy the growths. Cryotherapy frequently causes permanent discoloration of the skin. Dr. Glavey and the staff of AlphaDerm have found three alternative ways to treat solar keratoses: a once weekly at-home pulse therapy solution, a one week topical gel therapy (Picato™), or the Fraxel® Laser regimen. Please contact us for more information.

Our FDA has now approved Liposonix™. Although Liposonix™ technology is new to the United States, it has been used in Canada and Europe for 12 years. Dr. Glavey and the staff of AlphaDerm are one of only 6 clinics in the United States with this technology.

The Liposonix™ machine is a high-intensity ultrasonic device which works to dissolve stubborn belly fat and "love handles"... the fat that a good diet and exercise just can't seem to budge. It works well on men and women.
