Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins. It involves injecting a solution (called a sclerosant) directly into the affected veins, which irritates the vein walls, causing them to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body. This procedure is widely used for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes to improve vein appearance and alleviate symptoms associated with venous insufficiency.

Mesotherapy, using Dutasteride as a PRP Alternative for Hair loss, is a hair growth treatment that involves injecting a medication called dutasteride into the scalp to treat hair loss. Dutasteride reduces levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes hair thinning in people who are genetically predisposed. The injections are made directly into the scalp, targeting hair follicles and minimizing the risk of side effects associated with oral dutasteride.
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that involves injecting a combination of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, or plant-based extracts into the middle layer of the skin (the mesoderm) to treat various conditions, including hair loss. In the context of hair loss, mesotherapy focuses on improving scalp health, stimulating hair follicles, and promoting hair regrowth.

Dysport® is a simple, non-surgical, physician-administered treatments that smoothes lines and wrinkles.
During your consultation, your provider will administer your preferred treatments safely and effectively. Most patients see results within hours to days and results can last up to 4 months.
That depends. Your provider will review the options with you during your consultation. You may be a better candidate for one treatment over the other. Often, patients benefit from combining more than one treatment method.
Our facial features are designed to be expressive and show emotion. If you are angry or annoyed, for example, you may lower your brows and frown. Underneath your skin, your facial muscles contract, causing a groove or line. After years of making this same movement, these lines become more pronounced, even exaggerated, and sometimes permanent.
Dysport® works by relaxing the muscles that cause persistent lines to develop over time.
Please arrive at least 10 minutes before your appointment to fill out any paperwork. Our staff will walk you through the simple process while you listen to soothing music in our warm and welcoming environment.
Your provider and our staff will answer all of your questions and determine if you are a candidate for Dysport®. Your provider may also recommend other beneficial procedures and will make sure your treatment plan is customized accordingly.
While you rest in our comfortable chairs, your provider will administer your Dysport® to the appropriate facial muscles. Special care is taken to maximize improvements while minimizing risks.
No recovery time is typically needed. Most patients only experience transient redness after the treatment, which typically resolves within minutes to hours.
Within days you may notice an improvement in the treated areas. As with any cosmetic procedure, results may vary.

The SkinPen® is a medical-grade, state-of-art precision tool used to address acne scars and the symptoms of aging.
SkinPen® Micro Therapy is a highly effective treatment that helps to reduce the signs of aging and enhance your skin’s appearance by stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. SkinPen® is also used to decrease the appearance of stretch marks on the body.
Each of our bodies has innate processes that react to injury by producing new cells and extracellular materials (like elastin and collagen) to heal the damage. The SkinPen® achieves results by taking advantage of this natural process through the use of a finely-tuned micro-needling pen.
This device initiates your natural healing process by creating hundreds of temporary micro-sized openings or micro-channels in the skin. These “fractionated” micro-channels are created thanks to the design of the SkinPen®’s disposable needle cartridge, which achieves results without the use of thermal energy or chemicals applied to the skin.
A fast and safe method for inducing the production of collagen
Requires no thermal energy and is entirely non-ablative
Promotes care free healing
Safe for all skin types
No major downtime
You can expect to experience effects similar to mild sunburn after the procedure, such as redness, tenderness, and some swelling. Despite that, there is no significant downtime after a SkinPen® procedure. Patients can return to normal activities and conceal most of the mild side effects with make-up after just one day.
Since everyone’s genetic makeup and needs are different, procedure requirements and SkinPen® results will vary. The number of sessions required and the depth of treatment will depend on what goals and results you would like to achieve.
While multiple sessions are recommended to achieve optimal micro-needling results, noticeable changes are typically seen just one week following treatment and gradually improve as the body’s healing process promotes the production of healthy new cells and extracellular substances.
Patients with uneven skin tone and fine lines may see SkinPen® results after just one procedure, while those looking to soften the appearance of acne scarring may require several procedures.

Dermal fillers are substances injected just below the skin to help restore a more youthful appearance. A natural substance like hyaluronic acid is the main ingredient in most dermal fillers because it easily synthesizes with your skin and body. Hyaluronic acid binds to the body’s natural moisture reserves for a natural-looking improvement to your appearance.
Our practice is happy to provide both the Juvederm and Restylane line of dermal fillers. The Juvederm line includes Juvederm XC (to reduce lines around your nose and mouth), Vollure XC (to minimize deep nasolabial lines), Volbella XC (to improve fine lip lines), and Voluma XC (to enhance and volumize cheeks). Meanwhile, Restylane is used to soften nasolabial folds and lip lines, while Restylane Defyne treats sturdy support deep facial lines and Restylane Refyne treats moderate facial lines and creases. Regardless of the dermal filler used, the treatment is quick, pain-free, and results in no downtime.
Depending on your specific treatment area, dermal fillers can provide you with the following benefits: diminished frown lines between the eyes, reduced smile lines around the nose and mouth, enhanced shallow lines around the lips, plump lips, volumized cheeks, and a reduction of wrinkles and facial creases. Overall, your skin becomes firmer and more resilient because the fillers help stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, important elements in your skin that help you look youthful.
Botox is an extremely popular wrinkle treatment that’s ideal for dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles that form over time from repeated movements, such as smiling or frowning). Derived from Botulinum toxin, Botox is injected through a very fine needle into a muscle underlying a bothersome wrinkle. This process blocks the nerve impulses that move the muscle, causing it to relax. The result is a smoother wrinkle and a softer-looking appearance. Since only the targeted muscle is affected, surrounding muscles continue to move freely, allowing your facial expressions to be easily shown and avoiding the dreaded “frozen face” look when performed by an experienced dermatologist. Botox is ideal for the upper half of the face, including the areas around the eyes, the upper nose, forehead, cheeks, and jaw.
A single Botox injection session often lasts under an hour and is virtually painless. You may feel a tingling sensation during the process, but there is no downtime; you can go about your daily routine afterward. Side effects are typically mild and typically include tenderness at the injection site, muscle stiffness or weakness, bruising, itchiness, and swelling.
Within a week after your Botox injections, you should start to notice results, although this can vary from patient to patient. Over the following 3-4 months, the targeted wrinkles gradually vanish, and touch-up injections are suggested every 6 months in order to maintain the rejuvenating effects of the treatment.
The overall result of an IPL treatment is firmer, brighter, more resilient skin.
An IPL photofacial requires almost no downtime and results can be seen within a few days post-treatment. While there are minimal side effects with an IPL treatment, some patients may experience swelling, redness, tenderness, and discomfort, but this should resolve in 1-2 days. Dark spots may crust up with a coffee grounds appearance. However, these will gently exfoliate from the skin surface over 4-7 days.
Immediately after an IPL photo facial, you can expect some skin redness, though this usually subsides within the first week. Patients can expect to see full results a month after their last IPL treatment.
