Services
Botox
Botox treatments temporarily reduce facial wrinkles by relaxing underlying muscles. Our board-certified surgeon administers precise injections to smooth frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases while maintaining natural expressions. Patients appreciate our conservative approach that prevents over-treatment, with results visible within days and lasting 3-4 months. We use only authentic Allergan products with personalized dosing based on facial anatomy.
Sculptra Butt Lift
Sculptra butt injections stimulate collagen production for gradual volume enhancement. This non-surgical option improves buttock shape while addressing cellulite dimples and stretch marks. Our specialist has treated hundreds of patients with this FDA-approved collagen stimulator, requiring 2-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Results develop over months and can last up to two years with proper maintenance, offering a natural alternative to implants.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels remove damaged skin layers to improve texture and tone. We offer VI Peel, Cosmelan MD, and Precision Plus solutions targeting pigmentation, acne scars, and aging signs. Treatments range from light to deep penetration based on skin concerns, with visible improvement after 3-6 sessions. Our aestheticians customize protocols for sensitive skin types while ensuring proper post-care to maximize results safely.
Rhinoplasty
Surgical rhinoplasty reshapes the nose for improved aesthetics and function. Our facial plastic surgeon addresses structural issues causing breathing difficulties while refining nasal contours. The procedure corrects dorsal humps, tip asymmetry, and septal deviations using open or closed techniques. Patients receive detailed pre-op counseling about realistic outcomes, with recovery typically involving 1-2 weeks of social downtime and final results maturing over a year.
PRP Hair Therapy
PRP hair therapy uses concentrated platelets from your blood to stimulate hair growth. This minimally invasive treatment addresses thinning hair in both men and women through quarterly injection sessions. The process involves micro-needling followed by PRP application to activate hair follicle stem cells. Most patients notice reduced shedding within 3 months, with optimal results after 4-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
