Services
Breast Augmentation
Dr. Murphy specializes in breast augmentation using saline or cohesive gel implants for natural, personalized results. With twice the national average for breast surgeries, he ensures tailored outcomes aligned with patient goals. The procedure addresses volume loss, asymmetry, or desire for enhanced proportions, combining technical precision with aesthetic artistry.
Liposuction
Advanced liposuction techniques like SAFELipo and Smart Lipo remove stubborn fat deposits with local anesthesia. This minimally invasive procedure sculpts areas like the abdomen, thighs, and back, offering quicker recovery than traditional methods. Results are visible within weeks, enhancing natural body contours for Reno patients.
Hydrafacial
Hydrafacial combines cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration using a specialized device for radiant skin. The non-invasive treatment addresses fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and congestion, delivering immediate glow. Reno patients choose it for quick, pain-free sessions with visible improvements in texture and tone.
Botox
BOTOX Cosmetic injections smooth dynamic wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. Commonly used for frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases, results appear within days and last 3-4 months. Reno patients appreciate its quick application and natural-looking rejuvenation without downtime.
Weight Loss Injections
GLP-1 and Tirzepatide injections suppress appetite and regulate metabolism for effective weight management. Combined with lifestyle changes, these prescriptions target stubborn weight resistant to diet and exercise. Reno patients receive personalized dosing and monitoring for sustainable, health-focused results.
