Services
BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic injections temporarily reduce moderate to severe facial wrinkles by relaxing underlying muscles. This FDA-approved treatment targets frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles through quick, minimally invasive injections with visible results within days. Ideal for patients seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation with natural-looking outcomes.
MOHS Surgery
MOHS micrographic surgery precisely removes skin cancer while preserving healthy tissue. This specialized technique achieves high cure rates for basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas through staged excision and immediate microscopic analysis. Patients benefit from minimal scarring and optimal functional outcomes, particularly for cancers in cosmetically sensitive areas.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles. This treatment offers long-term reduction of unwanted hair on various body areas through multiple sessions. Patients enjoy smoother skin with reduced regrowth, particularly effective for treating facial hair and other common problem areas.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers restore lost facial volume and smooth wrinkles through injectable hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite formulations. This non-surgical treatment addresses nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and lip volume loss with immediate results that continue improving over weeks. Effects typically last 6-18 months depending on formulation and treatment area.
Facial Chemical Peels
Facial chemical peels exfoliate damaged skin layers to reveal smoother, more even-toned skin beneath. VI PEEL and other formulations address fine lines, sun damage, and acne scarring through controlled chemical application. Patients experience improved texture and reduced pore size with minimal downtime, suitable for various skin types.
