Botox is a safe, non-surgical treatment used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines. The use of Botox causes a reduction in muscle contraction, allowing muscles to become less stiff. Botox is approved by the FDA for cosmetic purposes and is proven to reduce or eliminate crow’s feet from around the eyes, forehead wrinkles and frown lines between the eyebrows. Botox can also be used to treat excessive sweating, migraines and certain muscular disorders.

Radiofrequency microneedling, or “RF” microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles and radiofrequency waves to rejuvenate the skin. The treatment stimulates the growth of healthy new skin, which can help with common skin issues such as acne scarring and wrinkles. The Morpheus8 device by InMode delivers exceptional skin, tissue, and collagen remodeling to improve skin appearance and reduce irregularities.

A facial generally refers to a variety of skin care treatments for the face. This includes using steam, exfoliation, extraction, creams, lotions, masks, peels and massage. Facials promote general skin health and are also useful to address specific skin conditions. We use a variety of facial techniques depending on the purpose, and we offer “back facials” and “teen facials” as well. Facials for teens are designed to address breakouts associated with adolescent skin. Teen facials typically begin with a deep cleansing, followed by gentle extractions. A healing mask will then help to rehydrate dry skin or eliminate oily particles. Facials are helpful in addressing persistent issues and also serve as a means of preemptive skincare.

Injectable cosmetic fillers can help fill in facial wrinkles, restoring a smoother appearance. Fillers such as JUVÉDERM and Restylane are approved by the FDA to be safe and effective cosmetic injectables. Both offer several different product variations developed for specific treatment areas, such as cheekbones, the marionette lines (creases extending from the corners of the mouth downward around the chin), the lips, fine lines around the mouth and more.

OxyGeneo is an innovative technology for skin exfoliation and infusion of unique serums to enrich the skin. This treatment removes dead skin cells from the skin’s surface and improves oxygen levels in the skin. OxyGeneo combines the benefits of microdermabrasion, facials, and skin infusions into one simple, non-invasive therapy that improves the skin’s texture and appearance.

HydraFacial and Diamond Glow are hydradermabrasion machines which clean and hydrate the skin. These treatments produce instant results by creating a new layer of skin by exfoliating, removing debris from pores, and saturating the skin’s surface with antioxidants and peptides to maximize the glow.

Laser scar reduction is a great option for acne scars or surgical scars on any area of the body. This fractional laser treatment is fast, easy, and provides remarkable results. Scar reduction using fractional laser technology delivers pulses of laser light into the skin to target and break down scar tissue. This helps generate healthy new tissue to form in its place that’s smoother and more even in skin tone. Laser scar reduction is a non-surgical treatment option with little to no downtime, mild discomfort and offers excellent results.

Laser skin resurfacing creates more youthful looking skin. Skin resurfacing treatments address deep facial wrinkles, crow’s feet, perioral (mouth) wrinkles, periorbital (eye) wrinkles, and frown lines. Even just one treatment session diminishes the appearance of lines. The powerful laser technology uses fractional microbeams to emit columns of laser energy into the skin. The body’s natural healing process then creates new, healthy tissue and increases collagen production resulting in younger-looking skin. Treatments provide long-lasting results without the pain or side effects of more invasive surgery.

Stretch marks are a common part of life for many men and women. When skin has been stretched too far or too fast – such as during puberty, pregnancy or weight fluctuations – these unsightly lines appear. Fractional laser treatments deliver pulses of light into the skin to target and break down stretch marks. This helps generate healthy new tissue to form in its place that is smoother and more even in skin tone. The benefits of laser stretch mark reduction includes smoother, better looking skin without surgery. There’s no downtime and treatment sessions are comfortable.

PRP microneedling, also known as platelet-rich plasma microneedling, is a cosmetic procedure that combines microneedling with the use of a patient’s own platelet-rich plasma (PRP). During the procedure, microneedling is used to create tiny punctures in the skin, and the patient’s PRP is then applied to the skin to promote healing and rejuvenation. The growth factors in the PRP stimulate collagen production, which can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and overall skin texture and tone. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically requires little to no downtime.

Dermaplaning is a skin treatment that uses an exfoliating blade to skim dead skin cells and hair from the face. It’s also commonly referred to as microplaning or blading. Dermaplaning is effective at creating a more youthful, smooth, and bright appearance of the skin and doesn’t require any downtime for recovery. Dermaplaning can be used for any skin type and is effective at improving the appearance of acne scars, dull skin, dry skin, and sun-damaged skin.

With laser skin renewal, we can address many undesirable skin imperfections on the face and body. Age spots and brown spots, sun damage, and fine lines can all be improved to make a more refreshed-looking appearance. Using a non-ablative laser, we deliver energy deep into the skin, affecting old skin cells and generating new collagen for skin that’s smoother and more even. Laser skin renewal offers excellent results on tone, texture and overall appearance with fast treatment sessions and minimal downtime.

Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure used to renew overall skin tone and texture. It can improve the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, melasma, and other skin conditions. The procedure uses a special applicator with an abrasive surface to exfoliate and remove the layer of dry, dead cells on the surface of the skin. Microdermabrasion is considered safe for most skin types and skin colors.

Skin revitalization, sometimes referred to as an “IPL Photofacial,” is a non-surgical treatment using intense pulsed light (IPL) that improves the skin’s appearance quickly and easily. Using our advanced technology we can clear up undesirable brown spots, sun damage and vessels, revealing clearer, more beautiful skin. Skin revitalization treatments offer excellent results with fast treatment sessions and minimal discomfort and downtime.

Laser hair removal is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States. We can remove hair from the face, underarms, legs, back, bikini line, chest or wherever else its needed – on either men or women. The advanced light-based technology we use targets and destroys the cells responsible for hair growth without harming the surrounding skin. This treatment is fast, easy and practically pain free. Since this treatment only targets hair in the active phase of growth, multiple treatments are often needed for complete hair removal.

Microneedling, also called skin needling or collagen induction therapy, is used to treat and improve conditions such as acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, loose skin, skin texture, brown spots, stretch marks and pigment issues. Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that’s become a key part of the skin care practices of most aesthetic professionals. Our experienced staff uses the FDA-approved SkinPen medical device for microneedling.

A chemical peel is a technique used to improve the appearance of skin on the face, neck or hands. A chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. There are three basic types of chemical peels including superficial peels, medium peels and deep peels. A thorough evaluation is important prior to receiving a chemical peel.
