photo facial
FotofacialT therapy is a lighter form of laser treatment. Brief light pulses treat sun damaged skin and rosacea. Skin imperfections such as redness of your complexion, broken blood vessels and irregularities of skin color can be corrected, as well as a reduction of wrinkles and decrease pore size.
Unlike laser treatments, FotofacialT treatments can be done on the entire body with no down time. They can also be used to correct imperfections left by other procedures, such as a chemical peel. Dr. Struck does FotofacialT treatments in the office, and you will be able to return to work immediately after your appointment.

rhinoplasty
Information on rhinoplasty in Los Altos, Palo Alto and Atherton from a board certified plastic surgeon Steven Struck. Read about surgery time, recovery, nose surgery vs rhinoplasty, post op care and more.
Rhinoplasty can be used to make the nose more delicate, remove bumps, and to sculpt it. Dr. Struck employs the newest techniques available, using grafts to augment the nose, as opposed to older techniques that remove cartilage and sometimes lead to a “ski jump” appearance. Every patient’s goals are different, so Dr. Struck will work with you using computer imaging to achieve your ideal.
Rhinoplasty scars are hidden within the nostrils. You may not see the final results of your surgery until swelling resolves, which may take several weeks.
