Not Sure What Treatment is for You?
Our skin contains a naturally hydrating substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). However, as we age, sunlight (UV radiation) and other factors can reduce the amount of HA causing our skin to lose structure and volume and making the appearance of facial wrinkles and folds more dramatic.
Aesthetic home treatments such as JUVÉDERM® injections is a safe and effective way to replace the HA your skin loses with age that helps restore the volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds.
We use FDA approved Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers such as: JUVÉDERM® XC, JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA, JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA, JUVÉDERM® ULTRA, JUVÉDERM® ULTRA PLUS. With just one treatment, you’ll get smooth and natural-looking results that last up to a year.
People who are prone to oily skin tend to have larger pores. As you get older, your skin loses its elasticity, which can cause your pores to appear bigger. UV radiation also affects the appearance of pores. Sun damage thickens your skin, causing skin cells to collect around the edges of your pores and stretch them out.
Regular skin care such as cleansing, exfoliating, using facial creams that contain retinol, clay masks, and facial toner can significantly reduce the appearance of pores.
For more dramatic and permanent results we recommend VI Peel or a combination of aesthetic home treatments.
Cystic acne is a serious condition that can linger for years. It can affect large areas of your skin and leave permanent scars. Don’t despair, you have options!
Chemical peels is a great way to resurface the skin and minimize or remove acne scars or milder scars from injury or surgery.
During treatment, a solution is applied onto your skin and left for a certain period of time. Over a few days following your treatment, the affected layers of skin will gradually peel away, revealing a smoother, younger-looking complexion.
Most people would typically require about three treatments of Kybella over the period of six months for best results.
Immediately after your procedure, you will experience some swelling of the treatment area. Many patients describe the sensation as a mild to moderate “pinching”, “burning” or “throbbing”. This usually lasts for a few hours. You should also expect some immediate redness and minor bruising of the injection site.
The swelling most patients experience post treatment is very common and is a result of Kybella’s mechanism of action. The more swelling you have, the greater skin tightening effect will be.
The most commonly treated areas are those where muscle activity influences facial features, such as:
- Glabellar lines (a.k.a. “elevens” or frown lines);
- Wrinkles around the eyes, such as crow’s feet;
- Forehead creases;
- Corners of the mouth;
- A “cobblestoned” appearance to the chin.

ince micro-needling does not remove layers of skin like in the case of chemical peel or laser treatment, it is generally safe for all skin types, even darker skin. It requires no downtime for most patients, and does not require a post-treatment “peeling” period.
