Aging and Sun-Damaged Skin
Wrinkles, age spots, dull, lifeless skin tone--- the ravages of time and sun exposure take a toll on the appearance of our skin. And yet, in our youth-oriented society it’s more important than ever to look your best. Thankfully, modern technology offers a variety of treatment options that can restore vitality to your skin and take years off your appearance.

This treatment addresses the growing demand for cosmetic improvement with less downtime and without the risks associated with other invasive procedures. Portrait® Skin Regeneration greatly improves tone, texture, and wrinkling. Giving your skin a more youthful, healthy appearance.
BOTOX®
A quick, safe and simple procedure that smoothes lines between the eyebrows, on forehead, and around the eyes. Botox® is a natural purified protein that is done as a series of injections into the skin. It works to prevent nerve impulses from reaching the muscle, causing the muscle to relax and helping prevent further definition of wrinkles. You will notice the results in just days and the effects will last up to four months.
Thermage
The Thermage® procedure is intended to help you look good at any age, with a refreshed appearance. Through the natural aging process, collagen fibers in the skin stretch and lose their elasticity, causing skin to sag. The human body also slowly loses its ability to produce new collagen around the age of 30. Thermage uses radiofrequency to send heat into the dermis and subcutaneous layers of the skin, inducing lifting and skin tightening. The heat tightens collagen fiber that have become lose and stretched out, as well as stimulates new collagen growth to make the skin feel thicker and smoother over time. Because Thermage uses radiofrequency instead of a laser, Thermage can be done on all skin types for facial contouring and skin tightening. Thermage can also be done on the neck and body. While immediate tightening can often be seen, the tightening process continues for three to six months following the treatment, gradually producing a more youthful appearance. There is no down-time associated with Thermage®.
Facial Volume Restoration: Injectable Fillers
As we age, collagen structure in our face diminishes and we lose the contours and volume in our face that gave us our youthful appearance. Volume and contour can easily be restored in one office visit using facial injectable fillers. Fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the human body. Although fillers are have been thought of solely for lips in the past, fillers can be used all over the face to smooth wrinkles and restore volume, including lifting cheeks and brows. Fillers can also be used to diminish the appearance of dark circles around the eyes, permanent creases in the forehead, and scars.

The Sciton MicroLaser Peel is a precise peel resulting in fresher, younger looking skin that could previously only be achieved with a deep chemical peel. This treatment will diminish the appearance of discoloration and age spots as well as fine lines, wrinkles and some acne scars. One treatment will give excellent results. However, treatments may be repeated in monthly intervals if desired for further effect. Deeper peels can be given but will require relatively more downtime.

Intense Pulsed Light is a non-invasive solution for concerns such as skin discoloration due to hyper-pigmentation, sun damage and age spots, rosacea, and facial veins. IPL also effectively treats enlarged pores, scarring and rough, uneven skin texture. Face, neck, chest and hands will benefit from IPL. Because the pulsed light stimulates collagen production, skin will have and all over firmer, younger appearance. A series of five treatments is recommended to achieve desired results.
Fraxel™ Laser Treatment – Fractional Resurfacing
The Fraxel Laser works differently than other traditional laser resurfacing procedures. Fraxel Laser Treatment bridges the gap between ablative and non-ablative treatments. The Fraxel provides the excellent results of other ablative resurfacing techniques but with the shorter healing process and minimal downtime associated with non-ablative treatments. Fraxel restores aging and sun-damages skin by resurfacing and remodeling collagen. It also improves tone, texture, and color, and reduces acne scarring.

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a relaxing treatment that exfoliates the skin leaving it softer and smoother. The diamond-tipped wand mechanically exfoliates and smoothes the skin, as well as reduces acne and scarring. The appearance of fine lines and discoloration will also be reduced.

Tattoo Removal
The Medlite® laser - the best choice for tattoo removal
Older lasers that were used for the purposes of tattoo removal often had very mediocre results while leaving behind scars in place of the tattoo.
The advent of Q-switch lasers has since made the removal of most tattoo inks permissible with very low incidence of scarring. The Medlite® Laser can significantly lighten or remove several different tattoo inks.
