PROVIDING STATE-OF-THE-ART
AESTHETIC DERMATOLOGY
Board Certified in Dermatology, Dr. Day began providing CO2 laser treatment in 1983, years ahead of mainstream use. For the past four years, he has administered more Restylane® and more Botox™ than any other physician in San Antonio. He currently leads the San Antonio area in administering the facial filler Perlane®. His cosmetic clinic, Aesthetic Dermatology Center of San Antonio, offers the latest in laser and other new aesthetic devices. These include the Fraxel Re:Pair™ Laser, a new type of CO2 laser for skin resurfacing to tighten eyelid, facial and neck skin, and to treat wrinkles, redness, brown spots and rough skin. Dr. Day currently leads San Antonio in the number of Fraxel Re:Pair treatments performed and is one of the top three in the entire state of Texas. He has four years experience with the first Fraxel laser, Fraxel Re:Store, and his clinic has performed more than 1,000 Fraxel Re:Store procedures for acne scarring, wrinkles, crepe skin and melasma. His Gemini™ Laser is an excellent treatment for "red face", small leg veins and sun spots, and Dr. Day uses StarLux™ IPL to treat spider veins, pigment spots and remove hair. Thermage® is used to treat cellulite and to tighten eyelid and neck skin.
A TEACHER AND A DEVOTED DOCTOR
Simply stated, Dr. Day is devoted to providing the best medical care. He taught skin surgery for 17 years at the University of Texas Medical School at San Antonio, where he is Clinical Professor of Medicine (Dermatology). Since 1983, his office has remained open Monday through Saturday, and evenings Monday through Thursday. And in true Texan style - he's been known to make a home call...or two.
