Chemical Peels

Chemical peels use a chemical solution to improve and to smooth the texture of the skin by removing outer layers of the skin that are damaged by age, sun and environmental factors. The process is helpful in treating individuals with facial blemishes, wrinkles, and uneven skin pigmentation. In many cases chemical peels may be used to control acne, to treat pre-cancerous lesions, and to soften facial scarring.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion involves a gentle, gradual exfoliation of the skin’s surface cells, thereby reducing damage caused by age, heredity, sun and other environmental factors. It can minimize fine lines and wrinkles, improve acne scarring, lighten age spots, and can be performed on any part of the body. Microdermabrasion is done as a series of treatments. You can return to work and resume all normal activities immediately.

Botox® and Dysport®

If you are looking for an easy solution for smile lines, crow’s feet, or frown lines on your face, forehead, and glabella, then Botox® or Dysport® may be the best solution for you. Over time, the movement of facial muscles will cause folds and wrinkles to form on the face. Botox® or Dysport®, both highly purified muscle relaxants, when injected into the offending muscles, allow the skin to relax and the folds to soften or disappear. Our philosophy is to customize the treatment for you for a more natural look that minimizes your wrinkles and folds.

Lattisse®

Lattisse® is the only FDA approved prescription treatment used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker, and darker. Eyelash hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes. Latisse® is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in 2 ways: first, it increases the length of this phase; and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase. Many people experience significant benefit with the use of Lattisse®.

Fillers

Juvéderm® is a dermal filler designed to smooth out wrinkles and to add volume to facial folds. It is a natural complex sugar that retains water and is found in all living organisms. It has been formulated to be more comfortable to inject and to provide long-lasting correction.
Restylane® provides immediate and long-lasting wrinkle correction. It is a safe, natural cosmetic dermal filler. It can be used to reduce laugh lines, to reduce forehead wrinkles, and to improve the appearance of the lips.

Radiesse®

Radiesse® is a dermal filler used for restoring a natural, more youthful appearance to folds and lines in the nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth. It is made of unique calcium- based microspheres in a natural gel that is injected into the skin. The calcium helps to stimulate the growth of your own collagen, which over time rebuilds your skin’s foundation and restoring its youth. Radiesse® is typically longer lasting than other fillers on the market lasting a year or longer.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy involves the injection of small amount of chemical solution through a tiny needle directly into the faulty vein. The chemical irritates the vein wall, causing it to close and eliminate trapped blood. Sclerotherapy is commonly considered the best available treatment for spider veins and has been in use for many years. In the hands of a trained vein specialist, it is generally a safe and effective vein treatment. Depending on the extent of the veins being treated, multiple sclerotherapy sessions may be needed to achieve full clearance.
