Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty can rejuvenate puffy, sagging or tired-looking eyes by removing excess fat, skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. It may be performed for cosmetic reasons or to improve sight by lifting droopy eyelids out of the patient's field of vision. The procedure is usually performed in an office with local anesthesia in as little as 45 minutes. Blepharoplasty can be combined with a facelift or BOTOX® treatments to raise the eyebrows or reduce the appearance of wrinkles, crow’s feet or dark circles under the eyes.

BOTOX®
BOTOX® Cosmetic is commonly used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles. It is injected under the skin into areas surrounding the eyes, forehead and mouth to smooth crow's feet, frown and worry lines, and lines on the neck. Made from a purified protein, BOTOX® injections block nerve impulses, weakening muscles to relax wrinkles and give the face a rejuvenated look. BOTOX® may also be useful for migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and eye and neck muscle spasms. To learn more or to request a consultation by email, click below.
Cosmetic Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are becoming more and more popular today to reverse the changes associated with aging. These fillers give a more natural looking appearance than you would get from a face lift. There are a variety of fillers available used to reduce or eliminate wrinkles, raise scar depressions, enhance lips, and replace soft tissue volume loss.
Restylane®
Restylane® is designed to smooth wrinkles, sculpt lips and shape facial contours. It is a clear gel composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that is found throughout your body. This synthetic acid carries no risk of allergic reaction. The most common areas for treatment are the glabellar lines (between the eyebrows) and the nasolabial folds (from the root of the nose to the angle of your mouth). With its unique ability to bind with water, Restylane remains in your skin for many months. To learn more or to request a consultation by email, click below.

Perlane®
Perlane® is the latest dermal filler used to replace volume and restore youthful contours to the skin to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth. Like Restylane®, Perlane® is a hyaluronic acid made in the same biotechnical process. The difference is in the gel particle size. Perlane® gel particles are larger and designed for deeper injection than Restylane. Your doctor will decide which is best for you.
Juvederm™
JUVÉDERM™ is the latest dermal filler advance from Allergan Inc. JUVÉDERM™ is a "next generation" smooth gel, non-animal dermal filler offering a natural look/feel and long-lasting results for up to six months or longer. JUVÉDERM™ dermal filler lasts long because it's the only dermal filler currently available with the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid and a special formulation process. This process creates a smooth gel that flows easily into the skin, creating smooth, natural looks.
All other currently approved hyaluronic acid dermal fillers use a gel particle suspension formulation. These gel particles can be visibly seen as opposed to the smoother formulation used in JUVÉDERM™. The smooth consistency of JUVÉDERM™ dermal filler also may help to minimize the discomfort that can sometimes occur during the injection procedure. To request information by email, click below.
Radiesse™
Radiesse is another “new generation” injectable filler that offers superior versatility for both cosmetic and reconstructive use without surgery. What sets Radiesse apart from other dermal fillers is its durability, longevity, and versatility. The unique composition of Radiesse provides immediate visual improvement common with other fillers, along with the benefit of long-lasting results. Radiesse is made of very tiny, smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. The microspheres (particles) form a scaffold through which your body’s own collagen grows, and this produces the desired long-term effect. These unique advantages make Radiesse the ideal chose for facial shaping and contouring—along with other therapeutic applications. To request information by email, click below.
Contour Threadlift™
Have you ever looked in the mirror and lifted up the skin on your face and wished it would stay there? Now there is an innovative minimally invasive rejuvenation technique that makes it possible in less than an hour…and no one has to know you’ve had anything done!
Contour Threads™ are the first non-absorbable barbed sutures cleared for marketing by the FDA for lifting the sagging contours of the brow, midface and neck areas. Contour Threads are made of clear polypropylene, so they are not visible under fair or thin skin.
The typical procedure takes approximately 60 minutes under a local anesthesia, and if desired, a light intravenous sedation. In most cases, four threads is the minimum needed to address moderate sagging of one facial area. Patients typically return to normal activities or to work within a few days to one week. In most cases, there is minimal discomfort, bruising and swelling. Concealing makeup may be worn the next day. To learn more or to request a consultation by email, click below.
Cosmetic Laser Procedures
Cutera Laser Hair & Spider Vein Removal
The Cutera CoolGlide Excel Laser provides a safe, fast, gentle and effective method for removal of hair by producing an intense localized pulse of light. It uses a wide beam which enables it to treat many hairs with each pulse of the laser, providing an advantage over other methods of hair removal, such as electrolysis, which can only concentrate on one small area at a time. The Cutera Laser can be used on any area of the body with minimal discomfort.
Spider veins are visible red or blue blood vessels that may spread like a web across the skin anywhere on the body, but most commonly on the face and legs. They form when surface vessels dilate (expand). Spider veins are not usually harmful, although they can cause pain, for example, after long periods of standing. Spider veins are caused by a variety of factors, including heredity, pregnancy (and other conditions that involve changes in hormone levels), weight gain, long periods of standing, and certain medications.

Minimize wrinkles and discoloration with the Pearl Laser
The Pearl treatment will renew your skin’s surface and minimize wrinkles, uneven texture and discoloration.
