Skin
Your skin does many beneficial things, such as covering internal organs, protecting from injury and germs, controlling body temperature, protecting from dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays, and helping the body make vitamin D, which comes from exposure to the sun. Since your skin plays such an important role in protecting your body, you should keep it as healthy as you can.
Fillers and Injectables
One of the most popular cosmetic treatments of all time, BOTOX® cosmetic injections can help you look young again by erasing the wrinkles, creases, and fine lines that gradually appear as you age. Men and women around the world turn to BOTOX as their go-to anti-aging solution. For enhanced results, you can have BOTOX and cosmetic filler treatments such as Juvéderm® performed at the same time.
Made from purified protein, Botox® works by blocking the nerve impulses, as it is injected under the skin, it relaxes and reduces the muscles contractions, especially in the face, that cause the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to form on the face and neck. The ultimate result, is giving you a rejuvenated and more youthful look. It is FDA-approved and widely used by both men and women who want to smooth, reduce, and temporarily eliminate facial wrinkles in as little as 10 minutes. BOTOX has been safely and therapeutically used for over 15 years for a variety of medical conditions.
Dysport® is the first cosmetic neurotoxin available alongside the widely used Botox. Dysport is a simple, effective, non-surgical treatment that works by relaxing facial muscles, thereby reducing and smoothing away frown-lines and wrinkles. Dysport, like Botox, is a protein extracted from the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. Dysport has been available in Europe, Asia and South America for many years, and is distributed in the United States by Medicis, manufacturer of the Restylane dermal filler.

An FDA-approved drug has been designed to erase a patient’s double chin is getting a lot of attention. Since April 2005, many in the cosmetic industry are hailing it as the biggest innovation since Botox. The FDA-approved injection contains a naturally occurring molecule that dissolves fat, which your body then flushes out. The active ingredient in KYBELLA is called Deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction under the chin.
Radiesse is a unique calcium based filler, made from calcium hydroxylapatite. Radiesse is injected through a fine needle and placed into the skin.

Laser Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing, commonly called a laser peel, removes the outer, damaged layer of skin to reveal a smoother, younger look. Laser resurfacing can reduce the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, uneven pigment and superficial scarring, usually on the face. A carbon dioxide laser beam of precisely focused light vaporizes the skin surface and reveals the undamaged layer beneath. Treatment may be performed by itself or in combination with other rejuvenation procedures.
Chemical Peel
A chemical peel involves the application of a substance to the skin of the face. Depending on the strength of the solution, the upper layer of the skin is peeled away to accelerate the growth of new skin layers to smooth texture, reduce scarring, and remove blemishes to produce healthy, glowing skin. Peel formulas and strength are tailored to each patient, and are often combined with other procedures such as facelift for a younger look.
Dermabrasion
Do you suffer from acne scars, age spots, fine wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and uneven skin? Dermabrasion may be right for you. Dermabrasion, is an exfoliating technique, that removes the dry outer layers of the skin using a rotating device, most popularly on the face. This procedure can help improve your skin tone, and treat your fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven texture. Dermabrasion rejuvenates your skin leaving it looking smoother, and your overall appearance looking more youthful.
Fat Transfer
As you age, your skin loses volume and elasticity. Fat transfer is a procedure done using the patient's own living viable fat cells, and are injected into other areas of the body, such as the face, butt, lips, cheeks, and breasts to increase volume in those areas. Aesthetically, those areas of the body that were injected with the fact cells, will elevate the skin and muscle layers to a more youthful position without having to undergo major surgery.
