As time passes our skin shows the natural, inevitable signs of aging - wrinkles, sagging, sun damage. But you can counteract those effects with several non-surgical cosmetic procedures available at our practice, including BOTOX® and injectable fillers such as collagen, Restylane® and Juvéderm to smooth lines and wrinkles and raise sunken areas; chemical peels to reduce blemishes and scarring and produce fresh, glowing skin; laser hair removal for unwanted hair; and sclerotherapy for the treatment of spider and varicose veins.
BOTOX®
BOTOX® Cosmetic is commonly used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles. It is injected under the skin into areas surrounding the eyes, forehead and mouth to smooth crow's feet, frown and worry lines, and lines on the neck. Made from a purified protein, BOTOX® injections block nerve impulses, weakening muscles to relax wrinkles and give the face a rejuvenated look. BOTOX® may also be useful for migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and eye and neck muscle spasms. Read more about Botox.
Restylane®
Restylane® is designed to smooth wrinkles, sculpt lips and shape facial contours. It is a clear, synthetic gel made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that is found throughout your body. It carries little risk of allergic reaction. The most common areas for treatment are the glabellar lines (between the eyebrows) and the nasolabial folds (from the root of the nose to the angle of your mouth). With its unique ability to bind with water, Restylane remains in your skin for many months. Read more about Restylane.
Juvéderm
Juvéderm is made from a purified formulation of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in your skin. Wrinkle correction is extremely natural looking and long lasting. This smooth gel filler is used for deep wrinkles and folds and is available in two formulas: Juvéderm Ultra and Juvéderm Ultra-Plus. Results lasts eight months to one year, depending on the formula.

Gentle Touch Teeth Whitening
Our Gentle Touch Teeth Whitening treatment is the safest, most effective system available. By using an FDA approved non-toxic gel, your teeth will be visibly whiter after just one session. Other professional tooth whitening systems cost several hundred dollars and use peroxides that damage tooth enamel. With our cost-effective whitening treatment, you will see instant results without harming your teeth.
Unlike other medical grade lightening systems the Gentle Touch Teeth Whitening System produces NO sensitivity which gives patients something extra to smile about!
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion improves mild to moderate sun damage, scarring, wrinkles and other superficial skin problems. A gentle stream of tiny particles exfoliates the outer layer of skin and provides a fresh, glowing, younger appearance. The particles scrape away the surface layer of aging or damaged skin, which is then brushed off with the microdermabrasion vacuum tool with no need for anesthesia. Only a small amount of skin is removed, so sensitive areas such as the face, chest, neck, arms and hands can be treated. Results are comparable to a light chemical peel and should be immediately visible. Microdermabrasion is often performed in conjunction with other skin renewal procedures, such as laser treatment and chemical peels. Multiple treatments are recommended for full effect.

Chemical Peels
Chemical peels remove damaged outer layers of skin on the face to smooth texture, reduce scarring, and remove blemishes to produce healthy, glowing skin. There are three types of chemical peels, ranging from mild to strong - alphahydroxy acids (AHAs), tricholoroacetic acid (TCA) and phenol - and formula strengths are tailored to each patient. They may be covered by insurance if they are performed for medical rather than cosmetic reasons.
