Juvéderm Ultra Plus™ is a safe, non-surgical treatment for smoothing out facial lines, wrinkles and scars by replenishing the natural collagen support layer beneath your skin.  It is made of hyaluronic acid, a natural component of our own collagen.  No allergy testing is required.  Results are immediate and may last from 6 to 12 months.  Side effects may include temporary swelling and bruising.

Botulinum Toxin Type A treatment helps eliminate frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines without surgery and without leaving scars.  It works by temporarily relaxing hyperactive muscles.  It is one of the safest medicines ever used with a very long history of successful use.

Botox™ injections are an extremely effective way of minimizing or even stopping excessive underarm sweating.  Tiny injections of Botox can be administered superficially in the underarm.  Treatments can last for 6 to 8 months.

These peels freshen the skin through mild exfoliation.  They help smooth the skin, unblock pores, and fade brown spots.  Side effects are extraordinarily rare and may include mild peeling or redness.

This is a peel designed for larger brown spots.  It is stronger than a glycolic peel and will form a superficial scab over the treated area for 5 to 7 days before healing. 

This simple, time-proven treatment removes unsightly spider veins of the legs.  A very fine needle is used to inject a safe, salt water solution into the veins.  One may experience a momentary burning, followed by a minute or two of cramping.  Patients are advised to wear leggings or support hose for a week following the procedure, so fall and winter are the best times to receive treatment.  The veins lighten gradually over a 3 to 4 week period.  Generally 3 to 5 treatments are required to achieve complete clearing.

Our new Lumenis Duet LightSheer™ hair removal system is a non-invasive laser specifically designed to permanently eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body. The laser offers superior results to a wide variety of patients and treats all skin types including tanned skin and the broadest range of hair colors of any laser hair removal system. This new laser features two hair removal systems: it contains the same Lumenis ET laser with cooling tip for treating lips, chin, and bony areas we have used with great success. It also has a revolutionary new head for quickly and painlessly treating larger areas like the legs, abdomen and back. Depending on skin type, six or more treatments at least 6 weeks apart may be needed.

The Iriderm™ laser is used to remove tiny facial blood vessels (telangiectasias) and freckles (lentigines).  It is relatively painless.  Side effects include mild redness.
