Botox - Botox is a purified toxin from Clostridium Botulinum that binds to nerve endings, preventing stimulation of muscles. The result is relaxation of muscles and improvement in appearance of wrinkles. The effect is temporary. It has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of glabella frown lines in 2002. It consists of several tiny injections into certain muscles on the face that cause wrinkles. Discomfort is usually minimal and brief, and no anesthesia is necessary. The procedure takes about 15 minutes. Most people are able to resume their normal activities.

Juvéderm™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. The injectable gel is eased under the skin to provide a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! This filler is used for injection into the mid to deep dermis for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.

Laser Hair Removal - Laser hair removal has become one of the most common cosmetic procedures performed in the United States, ranked second among cosmetic procedures behind Botox injections in frequency of procedures performed. Laser hair removal utilizes beams of highly concentrated light designed to selectively penetrate into the hair follicles, to be absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles and to destroy the hair within that hair follicle. Laser hair removal can remove unwanted hair in those individuals who have disease states in which unwanted hair growth can occur, or it can be performed on those individuals who have no active disease states and just want removal of unwanted hair. Most individuals will require a series of treatments over time which will result in the removal of the unwanted hair.

Chemical Peels - Chemical Peels help reduce the depth of surface lines, smooth rough skin texture, treat skin discoloration and redness, and assist in clearing acne/blemished skin. The naturally occurring alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), retinol and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) found in the chemical peel help loosen dead cells from the skin’s surface, revealing new, healthy cells. The result is smooth, radiant, glowing skin.

Exilis - A new type of skin tightening laser that reduces facial wrinkles and unwanted pockets of body fat. It’s a great noninvasive alternative to surgical liposuction. Its results aren’t as dramatic as liposuction, but it’s a much safer and easier procedure for people who want to rejuvenate and re-contour their bodies. Exilis has been shown in clinical trials to be both safe and effective, which is why the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved it for tightening up lax skin. Exilis further provides fast and effective skin tightening, as well as treatment of wrinkles and rhytids, with visible results often after the first session. Average results expected in 4-6 sessions over 2-4 months.
