botox®
Botox® is an FDA-approved cosmetic treatment for fine lines and wrinkles. It works by relaxing the facial muscles that create wrinkles, leaving smoother skin and eliminating lines between the eyebrows. You'll look years younger! Botox® is also very effective for moderate to severe underarm sweating.
Botox treatments last approximately 4-6 months.

dermal fillers - restylane®/juvederm/perlane
As the body ages, skin loses elasticity and volume. Fillers diminish the depth of facial folds and wrinkles and are most commonly used in nasolabial folds, smile lines, sagging cheekbones or to enhance or restore the appearance of the lips. Acne, chicken pox and other depressed scars can also be improved. All fillers replace soft-tissue volume loss with no downtime. Come in for a complimentary consultation to see which one is right for you.
Results last approximately six-nine months depending on the filler.

All injectables are administered by Dr. Colvin and Ahna Economidis, FNP. Please let us know if you have a preference for either practitioner when scheduling your appointment. For the best Botox injections in San Francisco, contact us today to schedule your appointment.

laser hair removal

You'll experience safe, quick and effective permanent hair reduction with our state-of-the-art hair removal laser. The GentleYAG laser safely removes hair without damaging the delicate pores and structures of the skin. It is safe for all skin types. Our laser hair removal procedure is great for women's underarms, bikini and legs, and for men's back, chest and neck.

Before your appointment, please ensure the desired treatment area has been freshly shaven, and not plucked or waxed.
Laser hair removal requires an average of 6-8 treatments, scheduled 4-8 weeks apart.

laser vein removal
Target those unsightly spider veins on the face or body. This safe and effective treatment is quick and requires no downtime.
Number of treatments varies.

laser tightening
Laser tightening is a safe, non-surgical procedure that tightens the skin and reverses the signs of aging. The laser distributes heat below the skin, causing collagen contraction, while preserving the outer layer of skin through continuous cooling. This process stimulates long-term collagen rebuilding, leaving you with younger-looking skin. The procedure tones, lifts and tightens skin on the face, fine lip lines, and crows feet and can be used to treat lax, loose or sagging skin throughout the body, including the neck, abdomen, thighs, and arms. The result is a more youthful, fresh complexion with long-lasting, tighter skin without surgery or recovery time.
The best results are seen after 3 treatments, scheduled 4 weeks apart.

laser rosacea treatment
Rosacea is often characterized by redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead that may come and go. Over time, the redness becomes ruddier and more persistent, and visible blood vessels may appear. While there is no cure for rosacea, our technologically advanced VBeam will substantially reduce and eliminate the redness and flushing associated with rosacea.
Number of treatments varies.

revitalize peel
The revitalize peel combines the benefits of alpha-hydroxy acids to provide a strong, but gentle, formulation. After one treatment, you will notice an improvement in your skin's texture and tone, lessening of fine lines, and a healthier, more youthful appearance. Dramatic results are achieved with a series of peels. The Revitalize Peel is safe and effective for all skin types and is clinically proven to help fade pigmentation and stimulate collagen production. This peel is also useful in adult acne treatment and acne scarring.

beta peels
Using salicylic acid, this deep cleansing treatment sloughs off dead cells while stimulating the skin's natural renewal process. Our beta peel reduces breakouts and the appearance of enlarged pores, balances skin tone, diminishes fine lines and acne scars resulting in clear, beautiful skin.

glycolic peels
With the use of alpha hydroxyacids (aha's), our glycolic peel increases your skin's performance to allow fresher skin cells to surface. Stimulates collagen production, refines large pores and improves fine lines and texture.

microdermabrasion
Micodermabrasion removes dead surface skin cells and discoloration, reduces pore size, and stimulates cell renewal and collagen production. You'll achieve softer, polished skin immediately. A series of treatments can help minimize fine lines, acne scars, and brown spots without downtime.

deep pore cleansing treatment
This treatment removes congestion, balances oil production and encourages healthy cell renewal. This effective, results-oriented treatment may include exfoliation, extractions, microdermabrasion and/or mild enzymes depending on your unique skincare needs. Works best a part of a comprehensive skincare regimen.

Depending on your skin, you may or may not experience peeling from our selection of medical peels. If peeling occurs, it usually begins 2-4 days following your medical peel and lasts for approximately three days.

For maximum results, we recommend a series of 6 medical peels at 3-4 week intervals, based on your skin type.

ipl photofacial
Intense pulsed light (IPL) photofacial treatment repairs sun damaged skin, improves freckles, large pores, age spots, rosacea and broken capillaries. By stimulating collagen synthesis, you will achieve smoother skin and a more even tone with no downtime. May be used to treat the face, neck, chest, hands, arms and legs.
A series of 3-5 IPL treatments is recommended, given 3 weeks apart. To maintain results, follow-up IPL treatments are recommended once per year.

photodynamic therapy (pdt)
PDT uses levulan (aminolevulinic acid) in conjunction with Blu-Light therapy to treat moderate to severe acne. PDT treatment involves three mechanisms of action against acne: inactivates the bacteria that triggers acne, exfoliates the skin to unclog pores, and shuts down the oil (sebaceous) glands in the skin. This can produce long-lasting, visible improvement, while restoring large pores and reducing the appearance of acne scars.

PDT is a very safe alternative to accutane treatment.
3-5 treatments are recommended to produce the greatest results.

blu-light
A painless, drug-free alternative for the treatment of acne. This procedure uses a safe blue light to destroy the bacteria that cause breakouts.

We recommend 8 sessions to clear most cases of moderate inflammatory acne.

We use the state-of-the-art Lumenis 1 Laser for all our photodynamic and photorejuvenation treatments.
