Injectable Treatments

Dysport®

Similar to Botox, Dysport is a neuromodulator that smooths wrinkles by temporarily inhibiting the neurotransmitters that lead to dynamic facial movements.

BOTOX® Cosmetic

Botox is designed to reduce visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles or fine lines. It is a neuromodulator, which means it blocks the neurotransmitters responsible for the repeated facial contractions that can lead to facial creasing. (1)

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers restore volume or refine the appearance of certain facial features. Fillers may be administered to address several features, including the undereyes, lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, and more.

Sculptra®

Sculptra is a semi-permanent biodegradable filler derived from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). This filler is known for its collagen-stimulating properties and often results in longer-lasting effects, natural-looking results, and improvements in skin quality and appearance.

Restylane®

Restylane is a portfolio of different hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers designed to restore volume and address facial wrinkles and folds. We offer several different formulations to address concerns within the lips, eyes, cheeks, jawline, and chin.

PRP for Tear Troughs

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an emerging treatment that uses the growth factors and proteins found within your own blood. For this indication, the concentrated plasma is injected into your tear troughs to address dark under-eye circles and boost volume. (2)

Dermafill (PRP)

Dermafill is an injectable treatment that uses PRP to elevate your skin’s health and appearance. Dermafill may be injected to stimulate the production of collagen, restore volume, enhance your skin’s firmness, and more.

Skin Resurfacing and Rejuvenation

Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is an aesthetic treatment that uses chemical solutions to resurface the skin. We offer several different types of peels in varying strengths to address a wide range of skin concerns, including visible signs of aging, pigmentation concerns, uneven skin tone or texturing, and more.

Microneedling and Microneedling with PRP

Microneedling stimulates the production of collagen by creating tiny, controlled micro-punctures on the skin’s surface. Your skin specialist can pair your microneedling treatment with PRP for enhanced results and benefits.

Hydrafacial

A Hydrafacial is a three-step treatment that consists of hydrating, exfoliating, and nourishing your skin with essential vitamins and nutrients. (3)

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive facial exfoliation treatment that uses a surgical-grade blade to gently exfoliate the surface of the skin.

VI Peel

The VI peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that penetrates the top layer of the skin to refine the clarity, texture, and tone by targeting specific concerns such as facial scarring, pigmentation irregularities, and early signs of aging.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge treatment that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy and microneedling to contract the skin and stimulate collagen production.

Laser and Light Therapies

Laser Skin Rejuvenation – MOXI Laser

MOXI (MOXI®) is a non-ablative laser treatment that preserves the top layer of your skin while heating the underlying layers of tissue, stimulating cellular turnover, skin regeneration, and collagen production within the body.

Broadband Light (BBL) Therapy

Broadband Light (BBL) therapy is a highly versatile skin rejuvenation treatment that delivers light energy to target skin concerns such as sun damage, redness, early signs of aging, and more.

Photofacial Rejuvenation and DOT Laser

Photofacial Rejuvenation combined with DOT (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) Laser is an advanced treatment designed to improve skin tone, texture, and overall radiance. Targeted light energy reduces redness and pigmentation, while the DOT laser creates micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production and accelerate natural healing.

LMNT Red Light Device

The LMNT Red Light Device is a non-invasive light therapy treatment that uses red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular activity, improve circulation, and promote collagen production. This therapy helps reduce inflammation, enhance skin tone and texture, and support overall skin health, making it an excellent option for rejuvenation without downtime.

FAQ

What does a skin specialist do?

Skin specialists are medical experts who can help you improve your skin’s health, appearance, and well-being using medical-grade products and treatments.

How is a skin specialist different from an esthetician?

A skin specialist works under or alongside a medical professional. Skin specialists can perform medical-grade treatments using professional products. In contrast, an esthetician can perform services to improve the external surface of the skin, but they cannot diagnose or treat medical skin conditions.

Why should I work with a skin specialist instead of treating my concerns at home?

While many patients can achieve improvements at home, our skin specialists have access to clinically backed treatments, specialized tools, and products that cannot be purchased at a regular retailer.

How often should I see a skin specialist?

This may vary depending on your individual skin concerns. While some patients benefit the most by seeing their specialist semi-regularly, other patients may only need to schedule an appointment when they have a concern. During your consultation, your skin specialist will evaluate your skin’s quality and health to determine the best treatment plan for your skin, including how often you should return.

Can my skin specialist help me target specific skin issues, such as acne or hyperpigmentation?

Yes, your skin specialist can help you find the most appropriate skin care products and treatments to help you address each of your concerns. Depending on your circumstances, they may also recommend combining or pairing specific products and treatments together for enhanced effects.
