Services
Botox Injections
Botox injections temporarily reduce muscle activity that causes forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet. This FDA-approved treatment uses purified botulinum toxin to smooth wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming. Patients typically see results within 3-7 days that last 3-4 months, with follow-up treatments maintaining effects.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal permanently reduces unwanted hair using concentrated light energy. The treatment targets hair follicles, inhibiting future growth while preserving surrounding skin. Multiple sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart typically yield optimal results, with patients experiencing smoother skin and reduced hair regrowth.
Kybella Injections
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable that permanently destroys fat cells under the chin. Using synthetic deoxycholic acid, this treatment improves jawline definition by eliminating submental fat. Most patients require 2-4 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart to achieve desired contouring results that don't require maintenance.
Microneedling
Microneedling stimulates collagen production through controlled micro-injuries using the Eclipse Micropen Elite. This treatment improves skin texture, reduces acne scars, and diminishes fine lines. Patients typically see gradual improvement over 30 days, with optimal results after 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy eliminates spider veins by injecting a saline solution that collapses blood vessels. The body naturally absorbs treated veins over 3-6 weeks. This minimally invasive procedure requires no downtime, with compression stockings worn post-treatment to optimize results and prevent new vein formation.
