  • ActiveFX Fractional Laser is our deepest, most comprehensive resurfacing procedure. This latest-generation, computer-controlled laser is a great solution for many women and men seeking a reduction of wrinkles and brown spots while benefitting from improved skin tone, texture, and most acne scarring. The ActiveFX laser selectively targets micro islands of skin, leaving surrounding tissue unaffected. This approach allows deeper treatments and rapid recovery. The results can be dramatic and lasting, with many patients looking 10 years younger after treatment. This is the same procedure that was recently featured on Doctors TV and the cover of Lifestyle Magazine. Treatments with other, similar units typically require three or more sessions costing much more, with less impressive results.

  • Botox Injections improve the appearance of worry lines, frown lines, crows feet, and other so-called dynamic or aging wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles occur when we smile, laugh, or frown. The delicate muscles under the skin contract, causing the skin to wrinkle. Botox is injected into these muscles and paralyzes them to prevent them from working. By weakening these tiny muscles, the overlying skin will smooth out.

  • Chemical Peels break down the bond that holds the dead skin layer (the stratum corneum) on to the rest of the skin. They speed up the natural exfoliating or sloughing process and enable new, healthier cells to come to the surface. By removing dull and damaged surface layers, you will have a healthier and more youthful appearance.

  • Dermal Fillers(Juvederm /Cosmoderm) is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.

  • Ear Piercing - We offer ear piercing under a safe, sterile environment.

  • IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a series of bright flashes of light used to treat various skin conditions, such as photo damaged skin, melasma, brown spots or patches, rosacea, and small facial veins. The pulses of light are changed to heat energy. When flashed on the skin, they lighten the discolorations. The light also damages the small blood vessels that cause unwanted facial veins so they disappear.

  • Laser Hair Removal (Light Sheer) is a method of removing unwanted hair. Using a laser, energy is targeted to the hair follicle (hair root) causing heat damage. The follicle is what grows hair. The hair growth center is destroyed, thereby preventing further growth of unwanted hair.

  • Microdermabrasion is a process of removing dead and flaking skin cells, usually from the face, to create an immediate improvement in how your skin looks and feels. This process is called exfoliation. A suction machine pulls fine granules across the skin to remove the unwanted cells. It's much like using very fine sandpaper to smooth out rough surfaces. The gentle abrasive action of the crystals combined with the suction will remove the dead outer layers of cells on your skin and smooth it out.

  • Radiage has been used in Europe for years to tighten skin. Safe, painless radio waves are passed through the skin to contract and realign collagen, which results in tightening and reduced wrinkles. With Radiage there are no restrictions following treatment - you may swim, exercise, wear make-up, or even return to work after this "lunchtime" therapy. Improvement continues for at least 90 days after treatment because Radiage stimulates the production of new collagen by the skin, restoring its youthful vibrance.

  • Sclerotherapy (spider vein injection) - Spider veins are known medically as "telangiectasias" and are small dilated blood vessels. These may become unsightly with time and may also lead to dull aching, itching, or stinging of the legs after prolonged standing. Sclerotherapy is the technique of injecting a solution into these vessels using a small needle. The solution (we use a high concentration of salt water) irritates and destroys the inner lining of the blood vessel so it collapses and scars shut.
