Acne Treatments
Our acne treatments address hormonal, genetic, and stress-related causes through topical medications, oral treatments, laser therapies, and chemical peels. We create customized plans for long-term clarity while addressing emotional well-being. Patients receive education on skincare routines and lifestyle adjustments to prevent future breakouts.
Skin Cancer Screenings
Annual full-body exams detect early signs of skin cancer using dermatoscopic evaluation. We monitor moles and lesions with digital imaging technology, providing biopsies and treatment for abnormal cells. Education on sun protection and self-examination techniques is included with every screening.
CoolSculpting Elite
This FDA-cleared procedure uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat cells in nine body areas. Treatments take 35-75 minutes per session with visible results appearing over 1-4 months. No downtime is required, making it ideal for busy professionals.
Botox Injections
FDA-approved injectables reduce frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. Treatments take 10 minutes with results appearing in 7-14 days. We also use Botox for medical hyperhidrosis treatment in underarms and hands.
CoolTone Treatments
Magnetic muscle stimulation strengthens and tones abdominal, thigh, and buttock muscles through involuntary contractions. Each 30-minute session delivers 20,000 contractions, with visible results after 4-6 treatments. Combines well with CoolSculpting for comprehensive body contouring.
