dermal fillers - juvederm/perlane/restylane®/radiesse
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 6-12 months depending on the filler.

E matrix RF
Sublative rejuvenation has been shown to effectively treat mild to moderate wrinkles and textural irregularities. This patented RF technology delivers energy in a matrix pattern to damaged skin, allowing small dots of healthy skin to remain accelerating a natural healing process and stimulating collagen.
Typical treatment protocol is 3 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart. Acne scarring is typically a protocol of 6 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart.

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.

photodynamic therapy (pdt)
PDT uses levulan (aminolevulinic acid) in conjunction with the blu-light to treat moderate to severe acne. PDT treatment involves three mechanisms of action against acne. Levulan treatment inactivates the bacteria that triggers acne, exfoliates the skin to unclog pores, and shuts down the oil glands in the skin. This can produce long-lasting improvement. PDT is a very safe alternative to accutane treatment.
3-5 treatments are recommended to produce the greatest results.
