Neuromodulators: Botox® and Xeomin® use highly purified botulinum toxin to block signals that cause contractions in your dynamic muscles, allowing them to lie smooth and relaxed. Dynamic muscles in your face create extreme expressions and their resultant wrinkles, such as:
Over days to weeks, your skin smooths out and becomes wrinkle-free, just as it was when you were younger. Results typically last 3-4 months but can vary from 2-6 months.
Factors that determine how long Botox and Xeomin last:
Dermal Fillers: Dermal Fillers replenish or augment volume in your face. Many popular dermal fillers, such as Revanesse Versa +, are composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), which your own body produces to keep your skin and joints supple and strong.
However, over time, your body produces less HA, which is one reason why your skin develops wrinkles and sags. Reintroducing HA into your skin via injections plumps and rejuvenates your skin, immediately restores volume, and feeds/stimulates your own collagen to produce more collagen and elastin over time.
You also can use dermal fillers to make aesthetic improvements to your face, even if you don’t have wrinkles and creases, such as plumping your lips. Soft, plump lips can brighten your entire face.

3X1 technology allows the wand to simultaneously exfoliate, extract debris, and infuse the skin with professional-grade SkinMedica Pro-Infusion Serums, when pores are open and most receptive. This is a huge step up from routine microdermabrasion and is a crucial step in skin cell turnover maintenance to keep your skin hydrated, healthy, and glowing.
Serums:
Microneedling is an aesthetic process which uses a sterile, single-use needle cartridge to create minute wound channels in your skin. Microneedling stimulates a healing process that increases collagen and elastin. It also allows serums to deeply penetrate your skin through the newly created microchannels, feeding your skin, collagen, and elastin what it needs at the epidermal and dermal layers.
Microneedling improves the surface of your skin and tightens it over time. It can reduce brown spots, fine lines, and scars. Pair it with nourishing serums such as hyaluronic acid, glutathione, polypeptides, growth factors, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for optimal results. It is recommended to have a series of 3-6 initially depending on your specific circumstances and then to continue with maintenance as needed. Numbing cream is applied in office 30 minutes prior to the procedure.
The SkinPen Precision is the first microneedling device to be cleared by the FDA as a class II medical device. Their needles are the gold standard in needle durability, penetration, and reliability.
Chemical peels are a safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and acne. During a chemical peel, a gentle acid is applied to the skin. This acid creates a chemical reaction that helps break down the outermost layers of the skin, removing dead skin cells and revealing plumber cells, fresher, more vibrant, and youthful looking skin. Pairing a chemical peel with a neurotoxin injectable can enhance and extend beneficial results.

Phototherapy uses the power of light to stimulate health and vitality in your skin. Unlike ultraviolet light, which damages the DNA in your skin cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) stimulate energy and healing in your skin cells. We have the highest quality medical grade full face panels from Illuminate for green and red LED and spot treatment therapy for blue LED. Illuminate LED is a powerful LED phototherapy device that uses 1800 LEDs allowing a treatment to be completed in less time, 5 minutes as opposed to 30, and can be added to most treatments.
