• Fraxel Laser Treatment is a safe, non-invasive procedure that allows you to rediscover the fresh, healthy glow of your youth. Simply put, Fraxel promotes your skin's own healing process, resulting in natural rejuvenation to remove years from your appearance. With Fraxel Treatment, you can expect two levels of results, immediate and progressive. Immediately after the initial healing (10-14 days), the surface of your skin will feel softer, look brighter and tone will start to become more even. Progressive results occur over the next three to six months as the deeper layers of skin continue to heal.

• Juvederm injectable gel is a "next generation" smooth consistency dermal filler that helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away many facial wrinkles or folds. Results are immediate and last up to one year!

• Restylane® works by filling wrinkles around the mouth and eyes. It restores volume and fullness. This treatment, too, takes just a few minutes, with a few injections, and usually no down-time. The effects are immediate and can last up to six months.

• Radiesse is a longer-term filler for larger folds. This is a calcium-based product, and lasts approximately 18-36 months.

• We offer both the GentleLASE, and the GentleYAG lasers from Candela. These are highly efficient and effective lasers, meaning you will require fewer treatments, and each treatment session will be shorter, than with other brands of lasers. The GentleYAG can be used on ANY skin type – fair, tan or dark! No anesthetic is required, and treatments are provided by a trained, licensed professional. A board-certified dermatologist is always on-site! Treatment sessions are scheduled approximately 6 to 8 weeks apart. The area(s) to be treated should be clean-shaven immediately prior to each treatment session; it should NOT be waxed or plucked! You should also not tan for at least one week prior to each treatment.

• Interested in a non-surgical way to reduce those frown lines? Botox® is the only FDA-approved treatment for the temporary reduction of moderate to severe frown forehead/brow wrinkles. Botox® relaxes the facial muscles that cause frown lines, causing the wrinkles to dissipate for up to four months. A few minutes, a few tiny injections, no down-time (come on your lunch break!), and you'll see improvement in days, that will last months.

• Photodynamic Therapy, one of the newest and most effective treatments available for stubborn acne, treats acne by applying a long pulsed, pulsed dye laser, with a topical medication (Levulan) to kill the bacteria causing the acne. Patients generally require 3 to 6 treatments over several months.

• We also offer the "Skin Station", in which clogged pores are exposed to special wavelengths of light that kill the bacteria that causes acne. In as few as eight 15-minute treatments over a 4 week period, patients often experience 90% clearance of their acne.

• We use the GentleLASE laser to reduce the appearance of freckles, age/brown spots and sun damage.

• Spider veins are similar to varicose veins, but they are smaller, are often red or blue in color, and are closer to the surface of the skin than varicose veins. They can look like a tree branch or spider web with their short jagged lines. Spider veins can be found on both the legs and the face. They can cover either a very small or very large area of skin. We offer sclerotherapy and/or laser treatment (GentleYAG and/or V-beam) to treat spider veins.

• Check out the latest in skin rejuvenation technology – wrinkle reduction/skin tightening with the GentleYAG laser! Our laser can tighten your skin beautifully! No anesthesia, no down time! Each session generally lasts 30-45 minutes.

• We offer crystal-free microdermabrasion using DiamondTome technology. This technology removes the topmost layer of skin, leaving it supple and vibrant. This outer layer of skin is exfoliated with diamond chips, and these cells are removed from the skin in a sterile and controlled manner, resulting in a smoother and brighter texture, while stimulating the growth of healthy new skin cells. Microdermabrasion is great for acne patients, to remove the dead skin cells that often clog pores and cause breakouts, while removing blackheads, or for any patients desiring a smoother, more even complexion. Microdermabrasion treatments may also be recommended in conjunction with chemical peels for more drastic results.

• There are several methods used to reduce the prominence of scars and improve the skins texture and flexibility. During your consultation, we will review all of your options for scar repair and revision and help you select the best treatment for your situation and cosmetic goals.
