Face Treatments
BOTOX
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription drug that, when injected, temporarily paralyzes muscles. It contains a purified and safe form of botulinum toxin A, which is produced by the microbe that causes botulism. Manufactured by Allergan, Inc., it is used to treat permanent furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin that are formed by the continual contraction of facial muscles. In addition to its cosmetic applications, it is used to treat a number of medical problems, including excessive sweating, overactive bladder, neck spasms, crossed eyes, chronic back and jaw pain, and migraines.
Dysport Injections
Prescription Dysport® injectable is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment for temporarily lessening or eliminating moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Like BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport injectable is placed directly into the muscle underneath a furrow, weakening the muscle to the point where it cannot contract.
Restylane Filler
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved Restylane® injectable gel is a cosmetic "filler" that contains hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance that is found in the body. HA gives volume and elasticity to the skin, but as the body ages, HA levels decrease, resulting in loose skin and wrinkling. When injected, Restylane gel is designed to plump the skin beneath lines and wrinkles, smoothing them out and making them less noticeable.
Sculptra Collagen
Sculptra® is used to reverse the signs of facial fat and skin elasticity reduction that occur with aging. By restoring collagen, which decreases as the body ages, it fills out shallow-to-deep wrinkles and folds that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds), cheeks, temples, and jawline. Three sessions are recommended for the best results. Sculptra may be used in combination with other modalities such as PRF, Dysport, and Filler. It is not appropriate for use in the eye and lip areas.
Microneedling
Microneedling creates small openings in the surface of the skin. It causes the tissue to develop new collagen resulting in smoother and firmer skin. The treatment is a safe and effective way to stimulate collagen and promote younger looking skin.
PRF Microneedling
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) and microneedling are often paired to refresh skin from the inside out. We start by drawing your blood and spinning it in a centrifuge in office. Once the growth factors are separated from the red blood cells, we inject the platelet rich fibrin (PRF) under the skin to promote tissue healing, cell turnover, and plumper skin. The PRF can also be micro-needled into the skin to improve skin texture, pigment, large pores, and reduce wrinkles.
The Perfect Derma Peel
Chemical peels remove damaged and dead outer layers of skin to make skin smoother, reduce scarring and improve acne. Ranging from mild to strong, there are three types of chemical peels: alphahydroxy acid (AHA), trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and phenol. The Perfect Derma Peel is a TCA (medium depth) peel that will exfoliate the skin and reduce pigmentation. Peels refresh dull skin and provide a healthy glow.
Acne Scars
Acne is a common condition that causes blocked pores, pimples, cysts and other lesions on the skin. While it is most common in teenagers, acne can affect people of all ages, most often appearing on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms. Hormonal changes in men and women can produce acne and may leave scars. Acne scaring is treated with subcision, a procedure done in the office to remove fibrous tethers under the skin to release the skin resulting in a smoother appearance. Subcision is often paired with Morpheus8 (RF microneedling) to help resurface the skin.

Morpheus8 is a radio frequency microneedling treatment that is an excellent way to reduce wrinkles and tighten skin. Microneedles penetrate the skin and deliver RF energy to the deeper layers during a session. This process results in a decrease in wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, reduction in cellulite, and other common complexion concerns.
