Dr. William Heimer and the team at his San Diego area practice consistently strive to achieve the best results for their patients. Whether you come to him for skin rejuvenation with microdermabrasion, or wrinkle fillers such as Restylane, or for advanced acne treatment or laser hair removal, you can rest assured Dr. Heimer and his staff will do everything in their power to make sure you leave the office satisfied.
Healthy, smooth skin gives you a fresh, youthful appearance. Great skin is a key element of beauty; when your skin is well-taken care of, it acquires the famous "glow;" it is "radiantly" beautiful. Though they may not be able to put their finger on the exact reason, people tend to notice something special about a person with perfect skin.
When you attempt to guess someone's age, the number that you come up with is usually based primarily on the appearance of the person's skin. As people age, their skin slowly loses its elasticity, and the pull of gravity causes it to sag.
Wrinkles and jowls begin to form, and you may end up looking older than you feel. Dr. William Heimer and his highly skilled team of medical professionals can help you beautify and rejuvenate your skin using a wide variety of advanced procedures.
Dr. William Heimer specializes in giving his patients the healthiest, most beautiful skin possible. He uses the latest medical technology, combined with a refined eye for detail and beauty, to provide his patients with natural-looking rejuvenation.
At Dr. Heimer's office we have a wide variety of treatments that can dramatically reduce the visible signs of aging, including jowls, frown lines, wrinkles, and other fine lines. We have procedures designed to lift and tighten skin, such as a variety of chemical peel treatments.
We also offer advanced methods of volume restoration, including wrinkle fillers such as Sculptra™, Restylane, Radiesse™, and the GentleWaves® system, which uses soft pulses of light to diminish wrinkles by encouraging growth of collagen in your skin. Dr. Heimer also provides cutting-edge treatments for skin problems such as acne.
