Botox
Botox Cosmetic® is a purified component of Clostridium Botulinum bacterium toxin. It is manufactured from the bacterium in much the same way that penicillin is manufactured from a mold. Botox Cosmetic® is not a poison, but a naturally occurring protein that is prepared under exacting laboratory standards. The protein is diluted to such a degree that its effects are restricted to the area injected.

How does it work?
Dynamic facial wrinkles, the most prominent visible signs of aging, result from repeated contraction of certain facial muscles. Botox Cosmetic® is administered to the muscle that creates a wrinkle. Botox Cosmetic® temporarily blocks the nerve impulse from reaching that area and, as a result, weakens the muscle. As the muscle relaxes, wrinkles in the skin gradually soften and often disappear completely. Botox can also be used to treat excessive perspiration of the palms and underarms.

Restylane
FDA approved and available to you! Erase your wrinkles and enhance your lips. It's natural & safe, with no animal products and no allergy testing necessary. It produces immediate results, causes only minimal discomfort, has no downtime and usually lasts from six to nine months.

Photo Facial
A gentle, effective light treatment that smooths over acne scars, shrinks pores and eliminates pigmented and vascular lesions. This treatment is particularly good at reducing the redness of rosacea. The treatment lasts 30 minutes and there is usually only minimal redness, pain and/or swelling. You can return to work or class immediately afterwards.

Laser Hair Removal

Use of state of the art equipment makes permanent hair reduction a fast and virtually painless process. The procedure lasts 5-30 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated and causes only minimal redness and/or swelling. You can return to your daily activities immediately afterwards. Eight to twelve treatments are recommended for optimum results.

Intense Pulsed Light Acne Treatment
Light based therapy is a revolutionary approach to treating acne. It is as powerful as many prescription medications but without any of the side effects. It is quick, virtually painless, requires little or no downtime and usually produces only minimal redness and/or swelling.

Blue Light Treatment
The OMNILUX Light-Emitting Diode (LED) System is a non-invasive and sensation free treatment for acne and other skin imperfections. Also known as Blue Light and Red Light Therapy, the OMNILUX looks like a flat panel computer screen and it is activated three inches above the skin for a period of 16 to 20 minutes. The Blue Light is used to treat mild to moderate acne while the Red Light is used to treat severe acne as well as fine lines and wrinkles. A series of eight treatments twice a week, followed by four treatments once a week is recommended for optimum results.

Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT)
Break through technology in which photo sensitizing solutions are applied to the skin prior to light based therapy. The skin becomes more sensitive to light, increasing treatment results dramatically! PDT can be used in conjunction with both Intense Pulse Light and Blue Light Therapy. It is especially effective in treating acne where it has been shown to have the equivalent efficacy to Accutane without the potentially dangerous side effects. The photo sensitizing solution must be allowed to penetrate the skin for at least 30-45 minutes and extra precautions must be taken to avoid sunlight for the 24-48 hours following the light based therapy.

Acne Surgery
Papules and pustules are drained and dead skin cells are exfoliated using either a chemical peel or microdermabrasion. A medicated mask and soothing gel are also used to dry and calm the skin when needed. Most insurance plans cover the cost of treating acne.

Sclerotherapy
Injections are used to reduce the appearance of unwanted leg veins.
