Services

  • Neurotoxins are injectables that target muscles, easing lines and wrinkles. We offer Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau brands. Neurotoxin results typically last 3-6 months.

    Treatment areas: Glabellar (11 lines), forehead, crows feet, bunny lines, gummy smile, lip flip, downward smile, dimpled chin, masseter botox for slimming or teeth grinding/TMJ, and armpits for excessive sweating

  • Microneedles penetrate the surface of the skin which creates a drastic increase in collagen and elastin levels to stimulate fresh skin growth. This is great for treating stubborn acne scarring, hyper-pigmentation, and fine lines. There is a short downtime of 24 hours with mild facial redness with some people undergo mild dryness/flaking of the skin.

    Add on: Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) aka “Vampire Facial” triggers cell production and stimulates tissue regeneration. The process involves drawing a small sample of the client’s blood and placing it into a centrifuge to separate the plasma. The PRP is added directly to your skin with the microneedling device for enhanced results & quicker recovery time.

  • Lip fillers are an injectable gel made from a substance called Hyaluronic Acid (HA). HA is a naturally produced substance already found in your own skin that works to maintain the structure and volume of your skin with instant results.

    Lip filler can enhance and add volume to your lips for that pouty/plump yet natural look. It can also correct natural asymmetry for lip balancing!

  • Smooth, define, and subtly enhance your facial features with contouring using a wide variety of dermal filler options to ensure natural appearing results. Results may last up to 12 months.

    Your appointment will include a free consultation to review your goals, pricing, and recommended treatment plan.

    Treatment areas:

    Cheek, jawline, smile lines, marionette lines, nasolabial lines, verticle lines above the lip, lips, and chin.

  • Bye bye peach fuzz hair! Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure for your skin. We use a special blade by Dermaplane Pro to complete a superficial exfoliation of the top layer of skin.

    Dermaplaning helps make-up go on smoothly and helps your skin absorb skincare products better. Great for a fresh glow before an event with no downtime!

  • A chemical solution is applied to the skin in multiple layers to lighten hyper-pigmentation, treat wrinkles, & smooth acne scarring. An examination of the skin will be completed prior to application to specify which peel is best for you!

    We offer both superficial and deep facial chemical peels and deep body peels. Body peels can target any area of concern on the body from head to toe!

    SkinMedica Superficial Peels: Illuminize Peel & Vitalize Peel

    VI Facial Peels: VI Original, VI Advanced, VI Peel Precision Plus, VI Purify, & VI Purify + Precision Plus

    VI Body Peels: This can be applied to any area of the body.

  • Hesitant to add filler but notice the elasticity, hallowing, volume loss, wrinkles and smile line that are aging to your face? Sculptra “The Fountain of Youth” is the answer! It is an injectable biostimulator that increases collagen production for a youthful, yet very natural glowing appearance. Results are seen within 4-6 weeks and typical treatment requires 2-3 series every 6-8 weeks.
