Botox
Vertical lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines and even laugh lines around the eyes are actually creases made by making the same expressions thousands of times. FDA approved Botox Cosmetics, when injected into muscles responsible for facial expressions, will relax them, making wrinkles soften and disappear. This popular treatment is safe and effective, with results lasting three to four months or more. (read more…link to Botox)
Dermal Fillers
Injectable fillers produce an instant aesthetic enhancement with virtually no downtime. They can be used successfully to enhance the fullness of the lips, smooth out deep nasolabial folds, lift up corners of the mouth and fill out wrinkles and acne scars. A medical professional will be able to recommend the appropriate filler(s) for your individual needs.
Restylane/Hylaform
Restylane is a new dermal filler designed for treating more pronounced facial lines. It is especially effective in diminishing wrinkles around the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds, vertical lines around the mouth, etc.) and giving a fuller appearance to the lips. Restylane is also proven to deliver a longer lasting effect than traditional collagen injections, with virtually no risk of allergic reaction. Because Restylane is non-animal based it can be administered immediately, without allergy testing.
Radiesse
Radiesse contains tiny microspheres that create “scaffolding” around which your own collagen will grow. The body eventually breaks down the microspheres, however the collagen your body produces in response to Radiesse remains. The effects of Radiesse last about one year.
Juvederm
Described by some as the “next generation” of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, Juvederm contains the highest concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid of any dermal filler currently available. These attributes provide optimal results with a single treatment of Juvederm in the majority of patients, and deliver sustained results for up to six months or longer. Juvederm is most commonly used to smooth lines on the sides of the nose and mouth, as well as lip enhancement. It can also be used to lift the tip of the nose, or mask a dorsal hump..
VascuTouch - Treatment of Broken Blood Vessels and Age Spots
VascuTouch provides a quick and easy method for removing vascular lesions such as Telangiectasia (distended capillaries), cherry angiomas, spider veins, and skin tags found on the face and body. When compared to laser treatment, the VascuTouch produces similar results without the pain, bruising, or high treatment costs. The VascuTouch is an indispensible tool for treating cosmetic vascular problems.
VascuTouch uses very low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) and DC current simultaneously to electrocoagulate the vessel, without dessicating (damaging) surrounding tissue. This treatment is self-limiting and vessel specific, resulting in minimal skin reaction.

Obagi Chemical Peels The Obagi “blue peel” is a chemically superior TCA peel that achieves optimum skin resurfacing. It works the best for pigmentation problems: skin discoloration, melasma, photo aging, or general poor skin quality. Layers of dead skin cells exfoliate and are replaced by new healthier ones allowing the skin’s own clarity and tightness to resurface. After the Blue Peel, skin may exhibit a slight blue tint, which fades within seven to ten days accompanied with the peeling of the skin. The procedure takes 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the number of peel coats applied. The Blue Peel is well tolerated by patients and rarely produces erythma or inflammation.
