Services
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive body sculpting treatment that freezes and eliminates stubborn fat cells. Ideal for patients near their target weight, it targets areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms. Results appear gradually over 2-3 months as the body naturally processes dead fat cells. No surgery or downtime is required, making it a popular choice for busy individuals seeking a toned physique.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal uses advanced technology to target and destroy hair follicles, offering long-term reduction. Suitable for all skin types, it effectively treats areas like the face, legs, and back. Sessions are quick, with most patients requiring 6-8 treatments for optimal results. This method reduces ingrown hairs and provides smoother skin compared to temporary solutions like shaving or waxing.
HydraFacial MD
HydraFacial MD is a multi-step skincare treatment that exfoliates, extracts impurities, and hydrates the skin using serums rich in antioxidants and hyaluronic acid. It addresses fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture. The 30-minute procedure requires no downtime and delivers immediate results, leaving skin radiant and refreshed. Customizable options enhance outcomes for specific concerns like acne or aging.
Acne Treatments
Our acne treatments combine ClearV and ClearSilk laser technologies to target inflammation, bacteria, and scarring. ClearV reduces redness and vascular activity, while ClearSilk stimulates collagen to smooth texture and reduce breakouts. This dual approach treats active acne and post-acne marks without downtime. Personalized plans ensure long-term clarity for all skin types, including sensitive and hormonally influenced skin.
Microneedling
Microneedling uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries, stimulating collagen and elastin production for improved skin texture. It reduces acne scars, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. The SkinPen device ensures precise, controlled treatment with minimal discomfort. Results develop over weeks, with optimal outcomes after 2-3 sessions. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) can enhance healing for advanced rejuvenation.

Unfortunately I'm editing my review from 5 stars to 2 stars. I really liked this place and had recommended it but after my last laser tattoo session I can no longer say so.. The woman who had done my last and final session totally messed up the laser settings because I have been dealing with this scar in the exact shape of my tattoo for 7 months now and the lady refuses to admit she burned me. Keeps telling me "just wait" every other session my skin had blended back in within 2 weeks. I have gotten micro needling done, as well as radio frequency micro needling, those 2 treatments alone costed more

They have great communication, do great work from our experience with microneedling for my son, and they are all very nice and friendly. Prices are good for the quality of work and the experience as well. My son has had significant acne scarring on his chest and back and we are seeing improvements after just a couple sessions. I appreciate all the work they're doing and will definitely recommend them in the future.

Had a consultation for a tattoo removal. Wanted to go to here because they had a pico laser. They were able to schedule me within a week. At the consultation, nurse was very informed and helpful. My tattoo is really small and the treatments were way cheaper than I was expecting. They also have a holiday deal going on where you buy 2 get 1 free. Total steal if you ask me! I was also able to get a treatment done that same day. Was not as painful as I thought either. No worse than getting the tattoo in the first place. Overall, great find for me.

Service is great! First I came to free consultation appointment I meet with one of clinic Specialist she made me feel very comfortable! I came to solve the problem of hair loss. She gave me valuable advice on how to solve this problem first and then move on to other methods of treatment. In fact, it made me feel that my health was more important even if I did not complete the treatment in the clinic. She is a skilled professional and know exactly what she's doing! She gives me a Highly recommend services.
