Botox Injections
Botox Cosmetic injections temporarily relax facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. Our Allergan-trained physicians administer precise dosages to smooth frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases while maintaining natural expressions. Patients see results within 3-10 days that last 3-4 months, with follow-up treatments maintaining effects. This FDA-approved treatment requires no downtime, allowing immediate return to daily activities.
Mohs Surgery
Mohs micrographic surgery precisely removes skin cancer while preserving healthy tissue. Our experienced surgeons process tissue samples on-site, achieving complete cancer removal with 98-99% cure rates for primary tumors. The procedure typically completes in one day, with immediate reconstruction options available. Ideal for facial skin cancers and recurrent cases, this technique minimizes scarring while maximizing cure potential through complete margin analysis.
Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid fillers restore facial volume and smooth wrinkles through injectable treatments. We offer Restylane, Juvderm, and Sculptra formulations tailored to specific facial areas and skin types. Treatments take 15-30 minutes with immediate results lasting 6-24 months depending on product and treatment area. Our specialists customize injection plans to address nasolabial folds, lip augmentation, and cheek volume loss while maintaining natural facial expressions.
Laser Hair Removal
Medical-grade laser treatments target hair follicles for long-term hair reduction. Our registered nurse administers treatments using cooling technology to protect skin while achieving permanent hair reduction in 4-6 sessions. Ideal for large areas like backs and legs or sensitive zones like bikini lines. Results include smoother skin texture with reduced ingrown hairs, requiring periodic maintenance for optimal results.
Acne Treatment
Customized acne management combines medical-grade skincare with advanced treatments. Our board-certified dermatologists prescribe topical treatments, chemical peels, and laser therapies tailored to individual skin types. Treatments address both active breakouts and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, with maintenance plans preventing future occurrences. The program includes patient education on proper skincare routines and lifestyle modifications for lasting results.
