Services
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling technology to target and eliminate stubborn fat cells through cryolipolysis. This non-invasive procedure freezes fat cells without damaging surrounding tissue, allowing the body to naturally eliminate them over 12-16 weeks. Ideal for individuals near their target weight seeking to contour specific areas like the abdomen, thighs, or arms, this FDA-cleared treatment delivers permanent fat reduction with no downtime. Patients typically see 20-25% fat reduction per session, with results becoming visible after three weeks and peaking at two months.
Laser Hair Removal
Our Sciton BARE HR laser system offers permanent hair reduction through advanced photothermal energy. The device's Blend Technology targets multiple hair depths and skin tones simultaneously, making it safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types. Treatments require 6-8 sessions spaced four weeks apart to achieve 80-90% hair reduction. The built-in cooling system ensures comfort while eliminating hair follicles responsible for ingrown hairs and razor bumps. Common treatment areas include full legs, back, and Brazilian, with sessions completed in under an hour for large areas.
HydraFacial MD
HydraFacial combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration using patented Vortex-Fusion technology. This medical-grade facial addresses fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and congested pores through simultaneous suction and serum infusion. The 30-minute treatment delivers immediate results with no downtime, improving skin texture and radiance through hyaluronic acid and antioxidant delivery. Customizable boosters target specific concerns like acne or aging, making it suitable for all skin types including sensitive and post-procedure skin.
Botox Injections
Botox injections temporarily relax facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles using botulinum toxin type A. This FDA-approved treatment smooths glabellar lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles by blocking nerve signals to muscles. Results appear within 3-7 days and last 3-6 months, with follow-up sessions maintaining effects. Our conservative dosing approach preserves natural expressions while preventing new wrinkle formation. The procedure takes 10-20 minutes with no recovery period required, making it ideal for quick lunchtime treatments.
Medical Weight Loss
Our medically supervised weight loss program combines personalized nutrition plans with GLP-1 receptor agonists like tirzepatide. This hormone-based therapy regulates appetite and blood sugar while promoting gradual, sustainable weight loss of 1-2 pounds weekly. Patients receive regular monitoring and behavioral coaching to address hormonal imbalances and metabolic factors. The program includes nutritional guidance, exercise recommendations, and ongoing support through biweekly check-ins with our medical team to ensure safe, long-term results.
