Because today’s active lifestyle often involves a high level of sun exposure, many patients come to our office seeking to repair or correct the unwanted effects of sun damage and aging. We offer an individualized approach that emphasizes natural volume restoration with a particular focus on skin health and rejuvenation.

This is a medicine that is injected into overactive muscles to improve wrinkles due to muscle expression on the face such as frown lines between eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet/smile lines beside the eye. This is not a permanent treatment as the medicine wears off in 3-4 months but with regular treatment can lead to significant improvement and even erasing wrinkles in many patients. As with any preventative measure, the sooner you intervene the better as it is more difficult to clear up wrinkles that are so advanced they are present at rest.

These are often hyaluronic acid products that are a naturally-occurring substance in our skin and therefore do not require allergy testing like the old days with bovine collagen. These are meant to replace volume that occurs with the natural aging process resulting in skin folds and wrinkles. The best areas for these tend to be around the mouth with the nasolabial fold lines, marionette lines, etc. The hyaluronic acid filler product is gradually broken down by the body lasting approximately 6-12 months. Chemical peels Chemical peels are commonly used to treat fine wrinkles, scarring, discoloration, acne, or pre-cancerous lesions.

Specializes in treating sun damage such as brown sun spots or solar lentigines as well as small dilated red blood vessels known as telangiectasias. This is a short in-office procedure with minimal downtime and is typically performed in a series of 3-6 treatments.

Microneedling is a technique that creates thousands of micro-perforations in the skin to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process. This causes collagen induction via the micro perforations, which stimulate fibroblasts to create natural collagen and elastin resulting in a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, pore size, scars, and leads to an improvement in skin texture. In addition, microscopic perforations in the skin increase the effects of topical products, facilitating their entry and easy absorption into the skin. Microneedling is rapidly becoming one of the most popular cosmetic treatments because of it’s low downtime and excellent results, especially when coupled with IPL laser treatments.

This medical grade hydrating facial treatment combines microdermabrasion with intense serum infusion, simultaneously exfoliating, extracting, and dispersing specialty serums into the skin for a more radiant glow.

Dermaplaning is a form of manual exfoliation similar in theory to microdermabrasion but without the use of suction or abrasive crystals. A surgical grade blade is stroked along the skin at an angle to gently “shave off” dead skin cells from the epidermis. Dermaplaning can also temporarily remove the fine vellus hair of the face, leaving an exceptionally smooth surface.
Due to the contours of the face, certain areas (such as the eyelids and nose) are not treatable using this method.
