Services
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty addresses droopy eyelids, excess skin, and under-eye bags to restore vision and youthful appearance. This procedure improves both functionality and aesthetics by removing or repositioning tissue. Patients achieve natural results that enhance facial symmetry and reduce signs of aging.
Botox Cosmetic
Botox Cosmetic temporarily smooths dynamic wrinkles around the eyes and forehead by relaxing targeted muscles. Ideal for reducing crows feet and frown lines, this non-surgical treatment delivers subtle, refreshed results within days. Effects typically last 3-4 months with minimal downtime.
Skin Cancer Repair
We specialize in reconstructive repair following Mohs surgery for eyelid and facial skin cancers. Our techniques restore structural integrity and appearance after tumor removal. Patients benefit from seamless integration of functional and cosmetic outcomes in complex cases.
Laser Treatments
Laser therapies like BBL Hero and Halo target sun damage, pigmentation, and fine lines for facial rejuvenation. These treatments stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture with customizable intensity. Patients achieve clearer, more even-toned skin through advanced light-based technology.
Orbital Surgery
Orbital surgery corrects abnormalities in the eye socket caused by trauma, tumors, or thyroid disease. We restore proper eye positioning and protect vision through precise reconstruction. This specialized care addresses both functional impairment and cosmetic concerns for orbital health.
