Most Popular Procedures
Fraxel re:pair (CO2)
Until now, two varieties of laser treatment have been available for cosmetic enhancement-ablative and non-ablative. Traditional ablative, which literally means vaporization at a very high temperature, are very effective at destroying unwanted tissue but may have significant side-effects and require a lengthy healing period. Non-fractional non-ablative, on the other hand, have very few side-effects and require almost no healing time, but may involve numerous treatments over many months to achieve only modest results.

Botox
- Botox is a medication that is injected into the skin with a very tiny needle, reducing lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows, forehead, and around the eyes.
- Amazingly, Botox not only removes wrinkles but also makes people appear less tired and angry.
- Botox also reduces headaches and feelings of depression.
- Botox lasts approximately three to four months.
Juvederm Injectable Filler
Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvederm injectable gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen! Recently approved by the FDA, Juvederm injectable gel is a "next-generation" dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds - the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).

Hair Restoration
During microfollicular unit transplantation, a narrow strip of skin with hair-producing follicles is removed from the donor site, which is typically located on the back and sides of the head. The open edges of the donor site are then stitched closed in a fine line. Next, the strip, which can contain up to 2,000 hairs, is then fashioned into a series of tiny grafts that contain naturally occurring follicle patterns (called follicular units). Each follicular unit is inserted individually into the treated area of thinning hair through a tiny, needle prick-sized opening.
