The entire procedure takes about 10 minutes and you may resume normal activity immediately. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), Botox was the most popular physician-administered cosmetic procedure in the United States in 2005.

Collagen

In order to preserve the skin's elasticity, the body manufactures collagen, a fibrous protein. As we age, however, the amount of collagen in the skin decreases, making the skin less supple and more wrinkled. Today's technology allows us to inject collagen into the skin, eliminating fine facial lines, the appearance of depressed scars and deeper wrinkles. Effects last up to 4 to 6 months! To learn more about collagen injections, please contact us today.

Restylane®

Restylane® is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, and improve the appearance of the lip border. With a series of light injections, your skin is supported and flattened to give a smoother, softer look. Restylane is made from hylaronic acid, a natural substance already found in your skin.

Hylaform®

Hylaform® is a cosmetic dermal filler that is made from a highly purified form of hyaluronic acid, which is naturally present in the skin. With a series of light injections, Hylaform can be used to fill lines between the nose and mouth, small lines above the lip, frown lines between the eyes and to minimize creases that turn down the corners of the mouth. Treatment and recovery can take as little as an hour and the results are immediate and natural-looking.

Radiesse®

Radiesse® is an injectable filler that is used to restore and reshape signs of facial aging. Radiesse remains soft and pliable, taking on the characteristics of the surrounding soft tissue. For the first 3 months after injection, Radiesse performs as a filler substance by plumping up the skin. Then, thanks to its collagen-generating properties, Radiesse actually stimulates new tissue development for extended correction for up to 12 to 24 months.

Dermabrasion

Sunlight, exposure to harsh weather, pollution — all of these can really zap the skin of its youthful beauty. Dermabrasion is a safe, proven way to revitalize dull, blotchy skin by removing acne scars, age spots, blemishes and other imperfections. During this procedure, a wire brush with an oscillating handle is gently used to remove dry, aged outer layers of skin, revealing the smooth, younger-looking skin underneath. Although the treated area will be swollen, tingly and/or red after dermabrasion, side effects will subside within a few days. To learn more about dermabrasion, please contact us today.

Medical Needling

Medical needling treats lines, wrinkles, scars and stretch marks by creating tiny punctures into the deep layers of skin to increase the production of new collagen. This skin rejuvenation technique causes little damage to the epidermis, or outer layer of skin, and healing occurs very rapidly. Patients undergo light sedation and the entire procedures takes about 1/2 hour to complete.

Skin Cancer Treatment

The development of a new mole or changes in an existing mole may be a sign of skin cancer. Some skin cancers only require freezing, shaving or burning of the remaining cancer, while more aggressive tumors may need to be surgically removed. Mohs surgery, which is micrographically controlled, provides the most precise method for removal of cancerous tissue, while sparing the greatest amount of healthy tissue.
