We are experienced experts in treating vascular disease and skin treatments. In fact, Fox Vein and
Laser Experts is a training facility for vein procedures. I have successfully taught physicians and medical personnel in the treatment of venous disease and the use of lasers for over a decade. I was one of the first doctors in the country to perform endovenous laser ablation and I have performed thousands of successful endogenous laser ablations for over a decade. I was the first physician in
Broward County to perform the ClariVein® procedure and one of the first in the U.S. to offer this treatment. In short, we are very experienced at what we do. Our patients’ health and the success of the procedure are our priority. What is Vein Disease?
Vein disease is a disorder that occurs when vein valves stop functioning correctly. Normally, the vein valves keep blood moving back toward the heart. When the valves stop functioning properly, some blood will drip slowly downward, causing it to collect in the legs and ankles. Over time, this can lead to spider veins, varicose veins, phlebitis, blood clots and changes in the skin. According to studies, more than ¼ of American adults have some form of venous disease in their legs. Left untreated, you may notice more discolored veins in your legs, or your ankles becoming swollen and turning brown or blue. If you are noticing any of these symptoms, we encourage you to call our office for a consultation. Do You offer Hair Removal?
Yes! In addition to being an effective tool for treating spider veins and sunspots, our GentleMax Pro® laser is incredibly effective at hair removal. Laser hair removal is one of the most convenient and long-lasting ways to eliminate unwanted hair. This machine delivers direct bursts of laser energy to the skin, passing through its uppermost layers and targeting follicles. As the follicles absorb this energy, they will rupture. After the follicle has ruptured, it is no longer able to produce hair. Over a series of treatments, all of the follicles in an area will be ruptured, halting hair growth and leaving the surface of the skin smooth and hair-free. The GentleMax Pro® laser is so quick and effective, it decreases the number of treatments patients need. Typically, between four
and six sessions over a 12-month period are necessary to achieve dramatic hair loss results. You mentioned tattoo removal, tell us more.
Tattoos can be a fun, creative way for people to express themselves. However, sometimes, people regret getting these permanent works of art – that’s why we’re proud to offer our patients access to the gold standard of laser tattoo remove technology – The PicoWay® Laser. Older tattoo removal treatments tend to cause patients extreme discomfort, are often risky for

people with darker skin tones and commonly are not as effective on colorful or dark tattoos.
PicoWay® tattoo removal can remove tattoos with a wide variety of pigments and on patients of all skin types, faster, more effectively and with less pain than traditional tattoo removal methods. Older laser treatments use concentrated laser energy delivered in a consistent beam to break up tattoo pigmentation. These treatments can be somewhat effective in breaking up tattoos but often small bits of pigmentation are left behind. The treatments can also be quite difficult for some patients to tolerate. The PicoWay® laser uses short bursts of laser energy to break up pigmentation. These short bursts are more effective and less painful than traditional laser treatments. Can PicoWay® be used for scar removal as well?
Yes, the PicoWay® laser is also quite effective at removing or reducing scars. Because the laser uses short, intense bursts of light, treatment times are significantly shorter than other laser-based scar revision procedures. Patients typically experience little to no downtime following a treatment session as well. What other procedures to you offer?
We now offer the Vivace™ Microneedle treatment. This, FDA approved, minimally invasive treatment stimulates the natural production of collagen and is shown to be effective in alleviating facial wrinkles, fine lines, and tightening and toning the face, neck, hands and body. This procedure is quick, does not hurt and has virtually no recovery time. How can patients make an appointment?
