Services
Botox/Dysport
Botox and Dysport injections minimize facial lines by temporarily relaxing muscle activity. Ideal for frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles, these treatments prevent dynamic wrinkles from deepening while maintaining natural expressions. Expert injectors use advanced techniques like lip flips and brow lifts to achieve subtle enhancements.
Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid fillers restore facial volume lost through aging, enhancing cheekbones, jawlines, and lips. Treatments stimulate collagen production while providing immediate volume. Specialized techniques address smile lines, lip thinning, and facial asymmetry with results lasting 6-18 months depending on product and area treated.
HydraFacial MD
This multi-step treatment combines lymphatic drainage, painless extractions, and hydration to improve skin texture. Patented vortex technology removes dead skin cells while infusing antioxidants and peptides. Addresses congestion, uneven tone, and early aging signs with immediate results suitable for all skin types.
Sculptra
Poly-L-lactic acid injections stimulate natural collagen production to restore facial volume gradually. Treats deep folds and sunken cheeks with results appearing over 3-6 months. Provides long-lasting volume enhancement (up to 2 years) by rebuilding the skin's structural foundation.
Morpheus8
Combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel skin from within. Treats acne scars, fine lines, and skin laxity by stimulating collagen production. Penetrates deep layers to improve texture and tone while minimizing pore size and stretch marks.

Our board-certified providers combine medical expertise with personalized approaches, using only FDA-approved products and advanced technology tailored to individual anatomy.

Are treatments safe for all skin types?
Yes, most treatments including HydraFacial and Forma are safe for all skin tones. Consultations ensure customized approaches that minimize risks for each client.
What's the cancellation policy?
A $150 fee applies for cancellations less than 24 hours before appointments. We recommend rescheduling in advance through your appointment notification.
Can treatments be combined?

Kristen is the absolute best! Procedure was next to painless and I'm in love with my dysport results. Establishment is clean and aesthetic, and staff is warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. I will certainly be back when it's time for a touch up, thank you Vitality Aesthetics.

I went back for my second lip filler appointment with Alex this time around and I couldn't be happier. She did an amazing job, paid attention to detail, and made the experience very comfortable
I waited about 9-10 months in between fills, I was happy to see how well the filler held in my lips over that time. Definitely will be back for more services!! Thank you again Alex

I cannot stress this enough I absolutely ADORE this business and all the people in it. Their treatment & care towards clients is unmatched. They are always attentive to any details I need fixed, or any questions I have. Their pricing is fair and they will 100% make sure you are happy with your results, or else they will help to make it right. They undoubtedly have a loyal customer now

Returned to address the previously mentioned issues and was asked to start over and repeat my $600 treatment even though I hadn't gotten results the first time. Disappointed
