Restylane®

If you wish to enhance or restore facial contours, or reduce the appearance of lines and creases, Restylane® may be right for you. Restylane® is a form of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in our bodies. It is well suited to plump thin lips and fill facial creases such as nasolabial folds. It may also be appropriate for some surface wrinkles and concave scars. The fullness achieved from Restylane® treatment may last up to 6 months or longer.

BOTOX® Cosmetic

Get rid of your wrinkles! BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the greatest breakthroughs in cosmetic dermatology in recent years. We are thrilled with the results and our patients love it! Within the past decade, the injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic has been found to help in the reduction of facial wrinkles. The most common area of injection is between the eyebrows where adults frequently develop a furrow as well as "Crow's feet" and forehead lines. The procedure is quick and it is done in the office with only slight discomfort. We are now using BOTOX® Cosmetic in selected patients for "crinkling" of the lower eyelid, and for areas around the mouth. BOTOX® Cosmetic also works well in our patients with troublesome neck bands.

Tattoo Removal

Decorative tattoos have a history dating back at least 5000 years. The desire to remove them has probably existed just as long. There are several excellent methods of tattoo removal available today. The method that the physician chooses will depend upon the size, color and location of the tattoo as well as the length of time it has been on the skin. How the patient heals may also be a factor in the decision.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

The CO2 Ultrapulse skin resurfacing laser can remove wrinkles, sun damage and acne scarring. The laser emits a high energy beam of light which vaporizes the top layers of the skin, bringing to the surface the deeper, healthier, more youthful looking skin you want.

Lip Plumping

Collagen lip injections allow you to increase the size of your lips without committing to a permanent result and lasts three to six months, with "touch-up" treatments two or three times yearly. Doctors can increase the size of your upper or lower lip, or both; they can be used to treat specific areas of the lip, to increase the vermilion border, for instance. Collagen lip injections can also help reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the lips as patients age. Collagen injections offer minimal recovery time with immediate results. Patients can immediately return to their normal routines.

Chemical Peels

Some skin problems are caused by or associated with excessive buildup of dead skin cells that make the skin thick and dull. Our chemical peels are a controlled removal of surface skin cells that leads to new and improved skin appearance and helps eliminate fine lines and wrinkles. This leaves your skin looking healthier and rejuvenated.
