Start with what you need treated.

Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy removes the main body of the uterus using small keyhole incisions while leaving the cervix in place, an approach chosen by some patients and surgeons for its potential benefits in maintaining pelvic floor support and, for some women, personal preference regarding cervix preservation. The uterine body is typically morcellated into smaller pieces inside a specialized containment bag for safe removal through the small incisions. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes one to two hours. Recovery is generally quick, with most patients going home within a day and returning to normal activities within two to three weeks. Since the cervix remains, patients will continue to need regular cervical cancer screening (Pap smears) after the procedure. Most patients experience good symptom relief from the conditions prompting surgery, such as heavy bleeding or fibroids, with a faster recovery compared to open surgery.

LEEP removes abnormal cells from the cervix, typically identified through an abnormal Pap smear and confirmed by colposcopy-directed biopsy, using a thin wire loop carrying electrical current to precisely excise the affected tissue while simultaneously sealing blood vessels to minimize bleeding. The procedure is performed in the outpatient clinic under local anesthesia, typically taking just 10 to 20 minutes. Mild cramping during the procedure and light spotting or watery discharge for a few weeks afterward are common and expected. Patients are advised to avoid tampons, vaginal intercourse, and heavy exercise for about four weeks to allow the cervix to heal properly. The removed tissue is sent for pathological examination to confirm complete removal of the abnormal cells and rule out any deeper concerning changes. LEEP is highly effective at treating precancerous cervical changes and preventing progression to cervical cancer, with regular follow-up Pap smears continuing afterward to monitor for recurrence.

Myomectomy removes uterine fibroids, benign but often symptomatic growths within the uterine wall, while preserving the uterus itself, making it the preferred surgical option for women who want to maintain their fertility or simply keep their uterus. The surgical technique used, whether hysteroscopic for fibroids within the uterine cavity, laparoscopic for fibroids on the outer uterine wall, or open abdominal surgery for larger or more numerous fibroids, is selected based on detailed imaging assessment of fibroid size, number, and location. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, with duration ranging from under an hour for hysteroscopic removal to several hours for complex open procedures. Recovery similarly varies, from a few days for minimally invasive approaches to four to six weeks for open surgery. Most patients experience substantial improvement in heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, and pain caused by the fibroids. Because fibroids can occasionally recur, ongoing monitoring is recommended, though many women achieve durable, long-term symptom relief.

Ovarian laparotomy is performed when direct, open access to the ovary is needed, typically for larger ovarian masses, suspected cancer requiring careful handling to avoid tumor spread, or complex cases where a laparoscopic approach is not safe or feasible. The surgeon makes an abdominal incision to directly access and address the ovarian condition, which may involve removing a cyst while preserving the ovary, or removing the ovary entirely depending on the findings and the patient's circumstances. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes one to three hours depending on complexity. Recovery from open surgery takes longer than minimally invasive approaches, generally requiring four to six weeks before returning to full normal activity. Pathological examination of any removed tissue provides a definitive diagnosis and guides any further treatment needed. Most patients recover well, with the specific outcome depending on the underlying condition being treated.

Salpingectomy removes one or both fallopian tubes, most commonly performed as an emergency procedure to treat a tubal (ectopic) pregnancy that cannot be safely managed with medication, but also used to treat chronic tubal infection or damage, or as an elective procedure for permanent sterilization, which also offers some protective benefit against ovarian cancer. The procedure is typically performed laparoscopically through small abdominal incisions under general anesthesia, taking 30 minutes to an hour, though emergency cases involving significant internal bleeding may require open surgery. Recovery from laparoscopic salpingectomy is generally quick, with most patients going home the same or next day and returning to normal activities within one to two weeks. When performed for ectopic pregnancy, patients are counseled on future fertility considerations, since pregnancy remains possible using the remaining tube if only one side was removed. Most patients recover fully without long-term complications from the procedure itself.

Moisture treatments address dry, dehydrated hair caused by heat styling, chemical processing, environmental exposure, or naturally dry hair types, by delivering concentrated hydrating ingredients deep into the hair shaft. A specially formulated moisturizing mask or serum is applied to clean, damp hair and often left on with gentle heat to enhance penetration before being rinsed out. The treatment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes in a salon setting and requires no downtime or special aftercare beyond gentle hair handling for the rest of the day. Hair immediately feels softer, looks shinier, and is easier to detangle and style following treatment. Regular moisture treatments, typically every few weeks, help maintain healthy hydration levels, especially for chemically treated or heat-styled hair. This treatment is suitable for virtually all hair types experiencing dryness or dullness.

Keratin treatments work by applying a keratin-based solution to the hair, which is then sealed into the hair shaft using a flat iron at high heat, filling in gaps in the hair's cuticle to smooth texture and significantly reduce frizz and curl. The full process, including application, processing time, and heat sealing, typically takes two to four hours depending on hair length and thickness. Patients are usually advised to avoid washing their hair or tying it up for the first two to three days to allow the treatment to fully set. The treated hair becomes noticeably smoother, shinier, and more manageable, with reduced styling time needed on a daily basis. Results generally last two to four months before gradually fading as hair grows out and is washed. Regular touch-up treatments help maintain the smooth, frizz-free effect over time.

Protein treatments target hair that has become weak, brittle, or prone to breakage due to chemical processing, heat styling, or environmental damage, by temporarily filling gaps in the hair's damaged protein structure with a concentrated protein-rich formula. The treatment is applied to clean hair and typically left on for 15 to 30 minutes, sometimes with heat applied to enhance absorption, before being rinsed thoroughly. The entire process takes about 30 to 45 minutes in a salon setting with no downtime required afterward. Hair feels noticeably stronger and more resilient immediately following treatment, with reduced breakage during brushing and styling. Because protein treatments can make hair feel stiff if overused, they are typically recommended every four to six weeks rather than with every wash. This treatment works best as part of a balanced hair care routine that also includes regular moisture treatments.

Hair botox, despite its name, contains no botulinum toxin but rather a rich blend of proteins, vitamins, amino acids, and collagen designed to fill in damaged areas of the hair shaft, smoothing texture and restoring shine and softness. The treatment is applied to clean hair and, depending on the specific formula, may be sealed in with a flat iron similar to keratin treatments, though generally with a lighter, more natural-looking result and less noticeable straightening effect. The full process typically takes two to three hours in a salon setting. Unlike some keratin treatments, hair botox formulas are often free of formaldehyde-releasing chemicals, appealing to those seeking a gentler smoothing option. Results generally last two to three months, gradually fading as the hair grows and is washed. This treatment is well suited for those wanting reduced frizz and enhanced shine without significant straightening.

Hot oil treatments use natural oils such as coconut, argan, or olive oil, gently warmed to enhance absorption, applied to the scalp and hair to deeply moisturize and nourish both the hair shaft and underlying skin. The warm oil is massaged into the scalp to stimulate circulation and worked through the length of the hair, then left on for 15 to 30 minutes, sometimes with a warm towel wrap to further boost penetration, before shampooing out. The entire treatment typically takes 30 to 45 minutes in a salon or can be done at home. Hair feels noticeably softer, shinier, and more hydrated immediately following treatment, with the scalp massage also providing a relaxing benefit. Regular hot oil treatments, roughly every one to two weeks, can help improve overall hair health and reduce dryness-related breakage over time. This treatment is gentle and suitable for most hair types, particularly those prone to dryness.

Deep conditioning treatments use a concentrated, nutrient-rich formula that penetrates further into the hair shaft than regular daily conditioner, addressing dryness, damage, and dullness more thoroughly. After shampooing, the deep conditioner is applied generously and typically left on for 15 to 30 minutes, often under a heating cap or warm towel to open the hair cuticle and enhance the treatment's effectiveness, before being thoroughly rinsed out. The full process usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour in a salon setting. Hair immediately feels noticeably softer, smoother, and more manageable, with improved shine and reduced frizz. Regular deep conditioning, typically every one to two weeks, helps maintain long-term hair health, particularly for those with color-treated, heat-styled, or naturally dry and curly hair. This treatment forms a foundational part of a healthy hair care routine for most hair types.

Scalp treatments focus on the health of the skin at the hair's roots, addressing common issues such as dandruff, excess oiliness, dryness, or irritation that can contribute to hair thinning and poor hair growth if left unaddressed. Depending on the specific concern, treatment may include gentle exfoliation to remove buildup, specialized cleansing to balance oil production, or nourishing serums and massage to stimulate blood flow to hair follicles. Sessions typically take 30 to 60 minutes in a salon or dermatology clinic setting, with no downtime required. Many patients notice improved scalp comfort and reduced flaking or itchiness soon after treatment. Regular scalp treatments, combined with appropriate daily hair care products, support a healthier environment for hair growth over time. This is a helpful complement to other hair treatments for patients experiencing scalp-related hair concerns.
