Dermabrasion

Has an accident or previous surgery left you with face-altering scars? Or as you’ve aged, have fine lines or wrinkles sprung up around your eyes or mouth? Or perhaps you have deep acne scars or keratoses (pre-cancerous growths) marring your face? Dermabrasion will “refinish” the top layers of your skin and soften sharp edges of surface abnormalities through controlled surgical scraping in order to make your scars and wrinkles less visible.

Laser Facial Resurfacing

Is your skin sun damaged? Do you have fine lines around your eyes, cheeks and mouth? Or has your complexion taken on a grayish or yellowish tone? Do you dream of having smooth, youthful skin once again? Laser facial resurfacing may be the solution for you. A carbon-dioxide laser can remove the outer, damaged layers of your skin to allow tighter, younger-looking skin to grow in their place.

Laser Hair Removal

Do you dream of having perfectly smooth skin without ever having to shave again? With the LightSheer Diode Laser (FDA approved for long-term hair removal) unwanted hair can be eliminated quickly and painlessly. The laser produces a highly concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by hair follicles’ pigment. The laser pulses long enough to vaporize the pigment and disable the hair follicles, impeding or eliminating the hair’s regrowth.

Thermage®

Have you noticed fine lines and wrinkles on your face? Do you have “crow’s feet” around your forehead or eyes? Is your skin dryer than it was when you were younger? Thermage® can help you have tighter, smoother, more-contoured skin and look younger once again! It’s an FDA-approved, non-invasive procedure that uses radio frequency energy to stimulate your body’s production of collagen and increase your skin’s thickness.

Fraxel®

Has your skin been damaged by the sun? Do you have fine lines and wrinkles that you’d love to see disappear? Do you long to have younger-looking skin? Would you like remove years from your appearance quickly and easily? The Fraxel® family of laser treatments can give you the younger-looking skin you’ve only dreamed of having.

IPL - Photo Facial

Do you have a persistent red complexion? Is your face fraught with acne scars, large pores or sun spots? Are you looking for an easy way to get rid of your fine lines and wrinkles? Intense pulsed light, known as IPL, can give you clear, smooth, blemish-free skin once more – with no recovery time and with no damage to the surface of your skin like you may experience with laser resurfacing or dermabrasion.
