Fraxel® (Fractional CO² Laser Resurfacing)
Fraxel® is a unique noninvasive laser therapy designed to dramatically improve skin texture and pigmentation, including the treatment of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars and sun damage. Fraxel utilizes fractional resurfacing technology, where only a small fraction of the skin receives the laser light for effective results while preserving healthy skin.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
Made from a purified protein, BOTOX® Cosmetic is commonly used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles by relaxing the muscles and giving the face a rejuvenated look. This product is injected under the skin into areas surrounding the eyes, forehead and mouth to smooth crow's feet, frown and worry lines, and lines on the neck.
Dysport®
Dysport® is an FDA-approved injection treatment made from the same protein as BOTOX® injections to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the face. Through injections that take less than 15 minutes to perform in the doctor's office, Dysport produces results that last up to a year or longer, depending on each patient's individual skin.
Juvéderm® Ultra and Juvéderm® Ultra Plus
Juvéderm® Injectable Gel is considered the "next generation" of facial fillers, as it gently smoothes wrinkles and folds around the mouth and nose, while restoring a youthful volume to the face. Made of hyaluronic acid, Juvéderm is available in different formulas (Ultra and Ultra Plus) for a more customized treatment that targets different skin depths and allows for correction of moderate to severe wrinkles in the mid- to deep dermis.
Restylane® and Perlane®
Restylane® and Perlane® are clear, synthetic gels made with purified hyaluronic acid, which works with collagen to support the skin and keep it smooth and supple. These products are FDA-approved for the treatment of moderate to severe folds and wrinkles on the face, and are especially effective in treating the nasolabial folds, the lines that stretch from the nose to the sides of the mouth.
Latisse® Prescription
Latisse® is the first and only eyelash treatment approved by the FDA to help grow longer, fuller and darker eyelashes. Available only from a doctor, Latisse is applied topically to the eyelashes once a day to stimulate the growth process. Full results can be achieved after just 16 weeks of treatment.
Laser for Spider Veins
Spider veins are small, thin blood vessels visible beneath the skin of the face or legs as a series of lines, tree branches, or spider webs. Treatment is accomplished by a laser that targets and shuts down blood vessels. Effective results for both facial and leg veins are achieved after three sessions.
Laser for Red Facial Veins, Telangectasias, Rosacea (Photofacial)
Photofacial is an advanced laser procedure that uses lasers to treat redness and discoloration caused by facial veins, rosacea, or other conditions. A laser targets the red facial veins and brown spots to remove them. Most patients achieve effective results after three to four treatment sessions.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal effectively removes unwanted hair from the face, underarms, bikini area, back, legs or any other body area for patients who are tired of the traditional and often painful methods of hair removal. This procedure uses a highly focused laser beam, which is absorbed by the hair pigments to destroy hair follicles and prevent growth. Both light and dark-skinned patients can be treated with our lasers for hair removal. Multiple treatments are needed for complete removal.
Laser for Brown Sun Spots/Freckles
Brown spots and freckles often appear on the skin as a result of long-term exposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. These spots most commonly appear on the face, hands and arms, and can add years to your appearance, resulting in premature aging and skin cancer in some cases. While the best treatment against sun spots is preventing them from occurring in the first place, laser treatments can also reduce the appearance of these spots through a series of minimally invasive sessions with no downtime and minimal side effects.
Laser for Skin Tightening
Laser skin tightening provides an effective but minimally invasive procedure for smoothing out wrinkles and improving facial skin topography. The laser heats up the epidermis and causes the skin to increase collagen production, as well as contract immediately due to the increased temperature. This procedure can be customized depending on the patient's skin and location of the targeted area.
Laser for Tattoo Removal
Highly precise lasers can lighten or remove your tattoo by focusing or pulsing light on the ink particles, which then convert the energy to heat and break up into tiny pieces that are absorbed harmlessly by the body. All this can be accomplished without damaging the surrounding tissue. Results can generally be seen within a few weeks, although larger and darker tattoos may require more treatments than smaller, lighter ones. Occasionally treated skin will look whiter (paler) than the skin around it, but this is usually temporary and fades in the months following treatment.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels remove damaged outer layers of skin on the face to smooth texture, reduce scarring, and remove blemishes and pre-cancerous growths to produce healthy, glowing skin. Peel formulas and strengths are tailored to each patient. Peels can be combined with other procedures such as facelifts for a younger look. They may be covered by insurance if they are performed for medical rather than cosmetic reasons.
