Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive procedure in which a diamond handpiece removes the outer layer of skin in a controlled manner. This procedure produces minimal discomfort, requires no anesthesia, and involves a minimal amount of recovery or downtime. A series of treatments will help to erase signs of sun damage, lighten age spots, and soften fine wrinkles. It is also an excellent treatment for oily skin, large pores, blackheads and whiteheads. A series of six treatments, ten to fourteen days apart, is usually required to achieve optimal results. Treatment is performed by medical staff under physician supervision.
$100.00 per treatment
Salicylic Acid Peel
Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid that decreases oil production and provides good results for acne-prone skin. A series of three to six treatments at two week intervals is recommended. Treatment is performed by medical staff under physician supervision.
$50.00 per treatment
Glycolic Acid Peel
Glycolic acid is one of a group of acids known as alpha-hydroxy or “fruit” acids. They cause skin cells to separate from each other and shed, resulting in fresher, clearer skin. A glycolic acid solution is applied to the face, hands, or chest for exfoliation, lightening of pigment spots, and promotion of collagen formation. Peels are usually performed in conjunction with a glycolic acid maintenance program. A series of six treatments at two week intervals is usually recommended for optimal results.

Medium Depth Peel (TCA)

Botox
Botox is a purified bacterial protein which can be injected into certain facial muscles to relax their contraction. Relaxation of these hyperdynamic muscles results in smoothing of wrinkles. The most popular areas for treatment include the glabellar area (frown line), crows’ feet, and horizontal forehead lines. Effects last an average of 3 months. Advanced uses of Botox include vertical lines on the upper lip and prominent neck cords (platysmal banding). In addition, Botox is very effective for treatment of excessive sweating of the hairline, palms, soles, and underarms. Treatment is performed by the physician.
