Treatment Techniques

Botox		A safe and effective method for treating facial wrinkles at the source, by relaxing the muscles that cause them. A small dose of Botox is generally effective for two to four months, with no down time. Particulary effective for the forehead and crows feet lines.
Collagen/Dermalogen Replacement Therapy		Small amounts of bovine or human collagen are injected into wrinkles, depressed scars, and thin lips to provide an immediate correction of these "imperfections". Lasting two to six months, collagen replacement is an excellent method to smooth and beautify your skin.
Facial Peels		A full range of peels, from light glycolic and Jessner’s peels, to more comprehensive peels such as Obaji’s medium Blue Peel, reduce fine lines and skin discoloration, and soften and smooth by exfoliating your skin.
Microdermabrasion		A wonderful new technology from France is the answer to rough sun and wind damage by smoothing your skin. Microdermabrasion removes the superficial layers, revealing the smooth, healthy skin below. Wonderful alone, or as a way to jump ahead with our other skin care products, Microdermabrasion allows you to resume all regular activities immediately.
Managed Skin Care Programs		A full line of skin care products designed to work alone or supplement our other treatments. Moisturizers, exfoliants, bleaching creams, and sun screens including the patented agent Z-Cote developed at Duke University, we carry multiple lines so that we can tailor the skin care products to your particular skin type.
Permanent Cosmetics		Using specially designed medical devices, small amounts of pigment are placed below the skin to reduce or eliminate your need for make-up. Eyeliner, eyebrows and lips are artistically enhanced.
