CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting targets stubborn fat with controlled cooling technology to eliminate fat cells non-invasively. Ideal for patients seeking sculpted results without surgery, this FDA-cleared treatment addresses areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms. Our certified technicians, trained at CoolSculpting University, ensure optimal outcomes through customized treatment plans.
Laser Hair Removal
Using the Motus AZ+ and Cynosure ICON systems, our laser hair removal delivers permanent hair reduction with minimal discomfort. The 755-nanometer Alexandrite laser and Moveo Technology ensure safe, effective treatments for all skin types. Patients enjoy smooth, hair-free skin after a series of sessions tailored to their needs.
Dermal Fillers
Injectables like Juveau, Restalyne, and Versa restore facial volume and reduce wrinkles instantly. Performed by experienced providers with over 25 years of combined expertise, these treatments address fine lines, sunken areas, and lip enhancement. Results appear immediately with minimal downtime for natural-looking rejuvenation.
BioTE Hormone Replacement
BioTE pellets balance declining hormone levels through subcutaneous insertion, addressing symptoms like fatigue and low libido.

Advanced treatments like LUMENIS PiQo4 and Cartessa CoolPeel address age spots, scars, and uneven texture.

I visit BeYouthful Aestheics often to help maintain my aging skin. I recently did an IPL Peel and Cool peel combo which helped lighten dark spots and fill in fine lines. Deana Buan was fabulous and made my skin feel amazing! I also love their Obaji product line!

HI! I went for BioTE hormone therapy for the first time. Deana helped with my consultation and pellets insertions - and within a few short weeks, I feel great! She was knowledgeable, open and super easy to talk with. For my 6-week follow-up, I got to see Dr. Kohatsu....who was amazing, too! She really cares about your well-being and makes simple recommendations to ensure that you're doing everything you can to be your best self. I highly recommend this office for all women's wellness needs - they do it all! Thank you to Dr. Kohatsu, Deana and the staff at Be Youthful Aesthetics...you all are amazing
