Neuromodulators : Botox, Dysport, Xeomin
Neuromodulators are an anti wrinkle treatment for fine lines and wrinkles. We carry Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin brands. They work by weakening the muscles of facial expression that insert into the surface of the skin. The areas most commonly treated include the crow's feet (lines around the eyes), worry lines between the eyebrows (the elevens), and the lines across the forehead (horizontal rhytids).
Other Areas that can be treated with Botox and the like:
Bunny Lines around nose, Gummy smile, downward smile, TMJ, Neck ( Platysmal bands), Upper Lip area for horizontal “smoker” lines, Lip Flip for plumper upper lip.

Dermal fillers :
Restylane, Belotero, Versa
The Dermalfillers we use are FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers that may be used to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and volume depletion, such as lips, nasolabial folds, cheek areas, and under eye hallows. Designed to work like your body's own hyaluronic acid, these products can immediately smooth facial wrinkling, while restoring youthful fullness to areas of depleted volume in the facial area. Treatments last around 6 months.
Results may vary and are not guaranteed.

Platelet Rich Plasma PRP/PRF
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) / (PRF) Inections for Biostimulator for Collagen Induction :
This is a process where we take the patients own blood products and spin it in our cetrifuge to obtain the optimum products of PRP/PRF. We then take this solution and place it under the skin in same areas and using similar techniques as artificial filler, but using PRP/PRF instead. PRP and PRF have our own Growth Factors and bioactive proteins that help stimulate tissue healing and regeneration of collagen. Optimum treatments do require to be done in a series of three done once a month and the effects are noted after several months. This is very attractive as it is your own organic product and is a great investement that can be used for anti aging measures to decrease the signs of aging for the long game.
PRP Hair Loss and Hair Restoration
Platelet Rich Plasma for Hair loss : (PRP)
Platelet Rich Plasma For Hair Loss. Patients Before and after Images after 3 treatments.
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is the patient’s own concentrated blood plasma which contains approximately three to five times the number of platelets found in normal circulating blood. In addition, it contains platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor (TGF) and other bioactive proteins that aid in wound healing and hair growth. Doctors began using PRP in dermatology after researchers found that high concentrations of platelets in plasma cells help promote hair growth by prolonging the growing phase of the hair cycle.
Before and After two treatments of PRP injections and Microneedling
PRP for hair restoration is a three step process involving a sample of patients own blood by an in office blood draw. It is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the Red blood cells. The plasma portion is then spun again to obtain the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) for injection into the hair follicles in the scalp. Once the PRP is harvested, it is then meticulously and carefully injected into the patient’s scalp. This process is recommended once montly for three to four months, then 6 months, then once a
year for maintenance. The injection schedule will depend on your genetics, pattern and amount of hair loss, age and hormones. Topical numbing cream is applied before the injection process starts and there is minimal down time or discomfort.
MICRONEEDLING
WHAT IS THE PROCESS ?
Micro needling using a derm pen. Hyaluronic acid is used in conjunction with the Derm Pen so it is absorbed for increased moisture while stimulating new collagen production .
The most common Micro needling facial is one using hyaluronic acid ( HA) . HA is actually a naturally occuring sugar compound in our skin, that binds to and absorbs water and offers fullness and plumpness to our skin. Unfortunately levels dip as we age, and less of it is produced. This degenerative effect reduces structure and volume from the face, causing wrinkles and folds to become more pronounced. Just like the collagen loss, when hyaluronic acid levels drop, the skin has less support. As water is absorbed by the acid much like how a sponge soaks up water and increases the volume. This affect is what HA offers to our skin when its applied.
DO YOU OFFER VAMPIRE FACIAL / PRP MICRONEEDLING FACIAL ?
Yes we do! As many of us have heard so much about the Vampire Facial- this is also called PRP facial… This is a professional aesthetic medical procedure which uses the patients own blood under sterile technique. We spin the blood sample via our centrifuge to separate it for the PRP. We use the same process we do with PRP Hair restoration . Instead of injecting it directly into the skin, we use the PRP in conjunction with the microneedling pen. This allows the PRP with all of the growth factors involved to be deposited directly into the skin via the microneedling channels. This way you are able to absorb and utilize all of your own growth factors for anti aging effects… all organically !
DOES MICRONEEDLING HURT AND WHAT IS THE DOWNTIME?
The procedure lasts about 45 - 60 minutes ( PRP facial is longer ) . Topical numbing medication is applied so the discomfort is minimal if any. You can expect redness and swelling afterward and this may last a few days. Bruising, flaking, and some peeling may also occur. These are expected outcomes and are normal. It takes around 4-6 weeks for collagen-synthesis to fully happen. For optimal affects, Recommendations for this procedure is to be done once every 4-6 weeks.
Microneedlng after
Skin is Red and can feel like a sunburn for 24 hours. May have flaking and some bruising may occur. These are expected normal outcomes
