Restylane is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin. Restylane is indicated for treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Every time you smile, frown or squint you put stress on the underlying collagen in the skin which results in the development of facial lines. Restylane is a cosmetic dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body. Restylane maintains its shape using the body's own moisture. Restylane is free from animal proteins.

Botulinum Toxin Type A - BOTOX

Facial expression lines are created by contractions of the underlying muscles pulling the skin together when you smile, laugh or frown. An injectable protein, called Botox, stops nerve impulses from making the contractions. A minute quantity of the Botox protein is very precisely injected by a physician or trained aesthetician into the wrinkle with a very tiny micro-needle. Because the needle is so fine and only a small amount of liquid is used, the pain associated with the injection is minimal.

Chemical Peel

A mild chemical peel is a non-invasive technique for restoring wrinkled, blemished, unevenly pigmented, or sun-damaged facial skin. A chemical solution is used to peel away the skin's damaged outer layers. The new cells and collagen are stimulated during the healing process to produce a smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin surface.  Chemical peel can be used on the entire face or on specific regions such as the forehead or areas around the mouth. A peel does not eliminate sagging or excess skin. Each treatment is customized for patient skin type, specific problem areas and the delicate areas of the face.

Lasers are combating excess, unwanted hair and effectively removing it much faster, more reliably and more comfortably than other standard methods like electrolysis, shaving and tweezing. They have proven to be a giant step forward in hair removal technology.

Excessive hair growth is the result of heredity, hormonal factors, and some medications. Commonly treated areas are the face, back, neck, legs, bikini line, chest and underarms.

The Fractional CO2 laser uses the latest proven innovation in laser technology. The Fractional CO2 laser is used to remove wrinkles, eliminate brown spots, improve melasma, and is the best minimal downtime treatment to improve the overall quality and texture of the skin.

The Fractional CO2 laser is unique in several ways, but most unique in the way it delivers the laser treatment. Unlike more traditional lasers, including the older CO2 lasers, the Fractional CO2 laser treats the skin with thousands of micro-point sized dots, thereby leaving a good portion of healthy tissue behind.

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive gentle abrasion (skin polishing) treatment that propels natural mineral crystals onto the surface of the skin to reveal newer, healthier younger looking skin.

With healthier skin as its base, many conditions begin to heal themselves.  Treatments have been performed in Europe for years and found to be safe and effective for use on the face, neck and chest of all skin types, male/female. The treatment is safe and utilized frequently in many comprehensive.

IPL, also called FotoFacial® and photorejuvination, is a breakthrough and proven technology to enhance skin tone, texture and color.

IPL is non-ablative, meaning there is no removal or destruction of the top layer of skin.  IPL stands for intense pulse light, and has many applications to repair damaged skin from Sun, Acne, Rosacea and many other conditions. The energy from IPL is released in the dermis and can be manipulated to remove brown spots, red spots, repair acne scars, repair fine wrinkles and much more.

It is estimated that over 50 million Americans are bothered by the appearance of veins on their face, thighs, calves, and ankles. These veins can either be small, thin capillaries (spider veins) or larger veins called reticular veins. The largest veins are called varicose veins. With a quick and easy laser treatment, there is no longer any need to live with these unsightly veins. The laser energy is transferred into heat energy that collapses the selected vessel. Once eliminated, the vessels turn brown in color and the wastes are absorbed through the body’s natural metabolism process.
