Botox

Botox is a neuromuscular blocker with clinically proven results.[5] It prevents new wrinkles from forming for 3 months. Botox holds the coveted position of being the most popular procedure in the United States. With such a sought after treatment, patients have to be careful which surgeon they choose.

Chemical Peel

A chemical peel rejuvenates your face by removing layers of dead, unnecessary skin. Chemical peels can improve your complexion, remove acne, treat dry spots, and balance an irregular pigmentation. Our licensed esthetician specializes in chemical peels and performs all of them with the utmost care.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers keep growing in popularity. Fillers focus on smoothing wrinkles, volumizing your midface, and achieving balanced facial transitions that are key markers of beauty. Constructed from biocompatible compounds that are naturally found in your body, they rebuild the infrastructure of facial cells by stimulating collagen production and moisturizing your skin. For optimal results and the lowest risk of complications, it’s important to choose licensed esthetician and board-certified surgeons.[6]

FAQ

What’s the difference between dermatologists, cosmetologists, and estheticians?

Dermatology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the disorders of the skin. Dermatologists diagnose conditions and prescribe medications to treat those disorders. Estheticians are licensed to treat many skin conditions, not just disorders. Estheticians specialize in therapies that complement a dermatologist. If they notice symptoms of a skin affliction they will refer patients to a dermatologist. Cosmetology is a broad term that covers hairstylists, manicurists, make-up artists, skin care specialists, and more. Estheticians are technically a specialized type of cosmetologist.
