BOTOX® Cosmetic back to top

Over a million people have been treated with BOTOX® since 2002. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical, provider-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and around the eyes. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the FDA. The treatment only takes about 10 minutes to perform - a few tiny injections - and within weeks there's a noticeable improvement in those persistent lines. The effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic can last 3 to 5 months, but individual results may vary.

Restylane® back to top

Impressions of beauty change with time - as do our faces as we age. With Restylane®, you can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and restore natural beauty with the body's own material. Restylane® is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable hyaluronic acid gel. The gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The result is instantaneous and produces a long-lasting improvement to the appearance of your skin. Since 1996 more than a million people have been successfully treated in more than 60 countries worldwide. The effects of Restylane® can last 6 to 12 months.

Sclerotherapy back to top

Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical procedure that permanently removes unwanted veins. A special sclerosing solution is injected with a very fine needle into the blood vessel, which irreversibly alters the vessel wall causing it to be absorbed so that it fully and permanently disappears. Sclerotherapy has been used successfully for more than 100 years to remove unwanted spider veins and varicose veins on the legs.

Collagen back to top

Sometimes, no matter how young you feel, your face tells a different story. Sunlight, natural aging, and lifestyle factors can diminish the collagen layer that supports the skin. When collagen is diminished in the skin, unwelcome lines and wrinkles can appear. Collagen is injected just below the surface of the skin, filling in unwanted lines and wrinkles, and adding definition to the lip border. Treatment results are immediate and typically last 3-6 months. Without ongoing treatment, the collagen is gradually absorbed by the body and your face returns to its original contours.

LHE Photofacial back to top

This revolutionary treatment combines light and heat to treat aging and sun-damaged skin gently and effectively. It has been clinically shown to successfully treat benign brown and red blemishes, broken blood vessels, uneven skin tone, rough skin texture, and other common skin conditions such as rosacea. 3-6 treatments scheduled 3 weeks apart are advised. These treatments coupled with Microdermabrasion will provide the most desirable outcome.

Microdermabrasion back to top

This highly effective and extremely safe treatment is a fast and efficient way to remove the outermost layers of dead skin cells, which can dull the complexion. Compared to chemical or glycolic peels, Microdermabrasion offers the benefit of increased precision and enhanced results. Patients love the procedure and find their skin looks and feels smoother, younger, healthier, and more radiant. This treatment includes a complete facial. You will find the experience relaxing and enjoyable. A series of 6 treatments performed 1-2 weeks apart is recommended for best results.

LHE for Acne back to top

Light Heat Energy (LHE) is a revolutionary technology that combines light and heat to clear acne. LHE delivers both light and heat deep into clogged pores, safely and effectively killing bacteria and reducing inflammation. In as little as 4 weeks, patients have experienced up to 90% clearance of their acne. Typically 8 treatments are needed over a 4-week period.

Glycolic Acid Peels back to top

Glycolic acid is a product that efficiently decreases the "glue" that holds dead cells on the surface of the skin. This allows the dead cells to slough off, leaving behind a layer of smoother, softer skin. A solution containing concentrations of glycolic acid is applied to the skin for a brief period of time and then washed off. The glycolic acid formulations are gentle and will not necessarily induce an actual peel. This is an excellent treatment to combat adult acne, and dry, weathered, sun-damaged skin.

Whatever your skin type or whatever factors are impacting your skin condition, we are here to educate you and offer assistance in designing an effective yet simple skin care program without high-pressure sales.

Vascular Laser back to top

This excellent procedure consistently provides effective treatment for spider veins and pigmented lesions. The diode generates an intense beam of laser light. This specific laser light is absorbed by bright red blood cells and melanin (pigment found in skin), and this energy causes decomposition and destruction of the unwanted veins and pigmented lesions while leaving healthy surrounding cells intact. Minimal and temporary discoloration and swelling can occur.

Laser Hair Removal back to top

We offer the most advanced technology for the treatment of unwanted hair with the Apex 800 laser system. Laser Hair Removal can give you a permanent reduction in the amount of hair growing in the treated area. The primary benefits of our Laser Hair Removal procedure include speed and long lasting results while covering large areas at a time in a professional, medically-supervised setting. Most patients experience dramatic improvement in unwanted hair and report little or no discomfort. A minimum of 3 treatments is recommended at 4-6 week intervals.

Endermologie® back to top

Endermologie is the first patented, FDA-approved method of improving the dimpled or cottage cheese appearance of cellulite. After as little as 6-8 Endermologie sessions, your skin will show noticeable improvement in the appearance of cellulite. It is a massage-like treatment that will reduce inches as well as improve the tone and feel of the skin.

Permanent Cosmetics back to top

More and more women are discovering the lasting beauty and wonderful convenience of permanent cosmetics. This procedure, also known as micro-pigmentation, inserts small amounts of pigment into the dermal layer of the skin. The most common applications include lip color, eyeliner, or eyebrow enhancement, but it can also be used as an alternative to conventional makeup for people who have rushed schedules, allergies to makeup products, skin disorders, poor eyesight or poor hand-eye coordination. The gentle tapping method used is extremely safe and there is no chance of cross-contamination. The process is considered permanent, but there will be slight lightening over the years. Touch-up treatments may be necessary. Rapid recovery is the norm, and all permanent makeup is applied by a certified micro-pigmentation specialist.
