Restore the Sparkle in Your Eyes with Advanced Treatments
So much of your appearance—how youthful or tired, happy or sad, or refreshed or worn out—is influenced by your eyes. If you feel like the sparkle in your eyes has dimmed over time, you’re not alone—and the good news is, we can help.
The delicate skin around your eyes is among the thinnest on your body, making it highly susceptible to aging and environmental stress. With time, this area loses its natural volume and elasticity, leading to concerns such as:
- Dark circles.
- Bags or puffiness.
- Hollowing under the eyes.
- Drooping lids and brows.
- Fine lines and wrinkles like crow’s feet.
Additionally, the collagen network that provides structure and support to your skin naturally breaks down with age. Factors like sun exposure and repeated facial expressions—smiling, squinting, and frowning—accelerate the formation of lines and wrinkles.
What Can Help?
We offer a wide range of nonsurgical treatments designed to rejuvenate and refresh the eye area safely and effectively.
Restylane Eyelight: A Game-Changer for Tired Eyes
Restylane Eyelight is a revolutionary dermal filler specifically designed to address under-eye concerns. If you struggle with dark circles or hollowing under your eyes, this targeted treatment can:
- Restore lost volume for a more youthful appearance.
- Brighten the under-eye area, reducing the look of dark circles.
- Smooth contours for a natural, refreshed look.
- Deliver results with minimal downtime.
Dermal Fillers
In addition to Restylane Eyelight, other fillers like Belotero, Juvederm, and Restylane can address lines, wrinkles, and volume loss around the eyes. They effectively plump up crow’s feet, smooth fine lines, and restore a youthful appearance to hollow areas.
Neurotoxins
Botox, Dysport and Jeuveau are excellent options for minimizing dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, such as crow’s feet. These injectables relax targeted muscles, creating smoother, more refreshed skin.
Laser Treatments
Advanced laser options, including Fraxel Repair, Fraxel DUAL, Laser Wrinkle Reduction, and Clear & Brilliant, can:
- Improve skin texture and tone.
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
- Enhance luminosity for a radiant glow around your eyes.

Are You Washed Out from Winter?
As winter’s harsh grip begins to loosen, many of us are left with skin that feels dry, tight, and lacks luster due to the cold winds and increased time indoors. March offers the perfect opportunity to rejuvenate your complexion, restoring its natural moisture and glow. We offer a range of advanced treatments designed to revitalize your skin effectively and comfortably.
Fraxel Dual and Fraxel Repair Lasers
Our state-of-the-art Fraxel lasers target the outer layers of your skin with controlled, focused light. This process stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother skin and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, these treatments effectively address age spots, minimize broken capillaries, diminish scars, and enhance overall skin texture.
DermaFrac
For those seeking a gentle yet effective alternative to traditional laser treatments, DermaFrac offers a pain-free solution. This innovative micro-channeling technology infuses your skin with specialized serums tailored to address specific concerns, resulting in a refreshed and revitalized appearance.
Pulsed Dye Laser
Utilizing yellow light, our Pulsed Dye Laser stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. As new collagen forms, it fills in lines and wrinkles, leading to a gradual and natural smoothing effect. This quick procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Microdermabrasion
Often called the “lunchtime peel,” microdermabrasion is a swift and painless treatment that rejuvenates and revitalizes your skin. It effectively reduces fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne, clogged pores, scarring, and other skin concerns. Suitable for all skin types, microdermabrasion can be performed on various areas, including the face, neck, chest, arms, elbows, knees, and hands.
INFINI
INFINI utilizes microneedling combined with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. This approach effectively reduces wrinkles, tightens skin, and improves overall texture, offering noticeable results with minimal downtime.

Revitalize Your Skin with Fraxel Laser Treatments
When it comes to advanced laser skin rejuvenation, Fraxel is the gold standard. This cutting-edge procedure is designed to repair and renew your skin, effectively reversing signs of sun damage, aging, and environmental exposure. Fraxel lasers focus precisely on targeted areas, restoring your skin’s youthful radiance, texture, and tone with minimal downtime.
Choose Your Fraxel Experience: Fraxel DUAL or Fraxel Repair
Fraxel offers two specialized options to suit different skin needs and goals: Fraxel DUAL and Fraxel Repair. Let’s explore how each treatment can transform your skin.
Fraxel DUAL Laser: Versatile and No-Downtime
Ideal for a range of skin concerns, Fraxel DUAL delivers moderate-level treatment for pigmentation issues, uneven tone, fine lines, acne scars, and rough texture. This laser can treat areas both on and off the face, including the neck, chest, and hands. By stimulating your body’s natural healing process, Fraxel DUAL resurfaces and restores skin, improving tone and texture over time. You can resume your daily activities right after treatment, and multiple sessions may be recommended for best results.
Fraxel Repair: Deep Rejuvenation for Dramatic Results
For those seeking a more intensive solution, Fraxel Repair offers a high-impact treatment option. Using carbon dioxide (CO2) laser technology, Fraxel Repair penetrates deeply to address pronounced signs of aging, such as deeper wrinkles, stubborn lip lines, extensive sun damage, sagging skin, and acne or surgical scars. Fraxel Repair not only reduces wrinkles and discoloration but also tightens the skin by stimulating collagen production. Typically, only one session is needed, with results that are visibly transformative. While the recovery time is more substantial than with Fraxel DUAL, the outcome is a significantly smoother, more youthful-looking complexion.
Ready for Your Skin Transformation?
With either Fraxel treatment, you’ll enjoy smoother, younger-looking skin with enhanced radiance. Schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss your skin goals and determine which Fraxel option is best suited to your needs.
Renewal-Lift: A Customized, Nonsurgical Solution to Aging
As we age, the effects of time often show up in several areas of the face all at once. You might start to notice a loss of facial fat, looser skin, and deeper lines around the eyes, nose, and mouth. Overall, skin quality can decline, making you feel like you’re aging faster than you expected. These changes can be difficult to address with just one type of treatment, especially when traditional options like surgical facelifts offer only a one-dimensional approach.
That’s why I developed the Renewal-Lift—a comprehensive, nonsurgical solution designed to target multiple signs of aging at once. The Renewal-Lift is tailored to each individual’s specific needs, combining Botox, dermal fillers, and skin tightening or resurfacing treatments. This multi-dimensional approach allows for full facial rejuvenation without the downtime, scars, or potential “stretched” look that can accompany surgical procedures.
How the Renewal-Lift Works:
The Renewal-Lift is a blend of advanced treatments that work together to restore youthful volume, smooth wrinkles, and tighten sagging skin:
- Injectables like Botox and dermal fillers replace lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and minimize furrows and folds.
- Skin resurfacing and tightening treatments such as Fraxel Dual, Fraxel Repair, Thermage CPT, and Exilis Ultra 360 treat lines and wrinkles, while tightening the face and neck for a firmer, lifted look.
Why Choose the Renewal-Lift?
- It’s a nonsurgical treatment with no need for general anesthesia or incisions.
- There are no scars, and the results are natural—avoiding the “pulled” look sometimes seen with traditional facelifts.
- The Renewal-Lift provides both immediate and long-term results, enhancing skin both at the surface and deep within.
- You get visible, youthful results without the extensive recovery time associated with surgery.
I’m proud to offer the Renewal-Lift to patients seeking a natural, younger-looking appearance that reflects their best self. Whether you’re looking to smooth lines, add volume, or tighten sagging skin, this treatment is designed to help you achieve comprehensive rejuvenation.
If you’re ready to explore how the Renewal-Lift can help you, schedule a consultation with me today. Together, we’ll create a customized treatment plan that’s tailored to your unique goals.
Fraxel Dual: Melasma’s Modern Solution
Melasma, a common skin condition characterized by dark, discolored patches typically on the face, poses a significant challenge for those seeking clear, even-toned skin. While it’s often triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, and genetics, its impact extends beyond physical appearance, affecting confidence and self-esteem. Fortunately, the quest for a solution has led to the emergence of innovative treatments like Fraxel Dual, offering renewed hope for those battling melasma.
Fraxel Dual has garnered attention for its remarkable efficacy in addressing a myriad of skin concerns, including melasma. Unlike traditional treatments that may provide temporary relief or require extended downtime, Fraxel Dual offers a safer, more efficient alternative with minimal disruption to daily life.
So, how does Fraxel Dual work its magic on melasma?
Precision Targeting: Fraxel Dual utilizes fractional laser technology to deliver controlled microthermal zones of treatment to the skin’s surface. This precision targeting allows for customized treatment, ensuring optimal results while minimizing the risk of adverse effects.
Stimulated Collagen Production: By penetrating deep into the skin’s layers, Fraxel Dual stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. This not only improves skin texture and elasticity but also helps to diminish the appearance of melasma-related pigmentation.
Selective Photothermolysis: Fraxel Dual’s dual wavelengths—1927 nm and 1550 nm—enable selective photothermolysis, targeting melanin and pigment-producing cells without causing damage to surrounding tissue. This selective approach ensures effective pigment reduction while preserving the integrity of the skin.
Gradual Improvement: While some treatments offer quick fixes, Fraxel Dual takes a gradual approach to melasma treatment. Patients may notice improvement after each session, with optimal results typically achieved after a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart.
Minimal Downtime: One of the standout features of Fraxel Dual is its minimal downtime. Unlike more invasive procedures, Fraxel Dual allows patients to resume their daily activities shortly after treatment.
Long-lasting Results: With proper maintenance and sun protection, the results of Fraxel Dual treatments can be long-lasting, providing patients with sustained relief from melasma and renewed confidence in their skin.
Conquering Acne: Understanding and Treating Your Skin Woes
Acne is a universal skin condition that affects millions worldwide, transcending age, gender, and background. Whether it’s the occasional blemish or a persistent battle, the journey to clear skin can often feel like an uphill climb. But fear not, for there’s hope and help available for everyone grappling with this common affliction.
Understanding the root cause of acne is paramount to effectively addressing it. It begins when pores become clogged with dead skin cells, exacerbated by the overproduction of sebum—the skin’s natural oil. This creates a fertile ground for bacteria to flourish, leading to inflammation and the dreaded appearance of acne.
The manifestations of acne vary, from the familiar blackheads and whiteheads of acne vulgaris to the redness and pustules associated with acne rosacea. Some individuals grapple with chronic, persistent acne, while others contend with the aftermath of scarring and pigmentation issues.
However, there’s light at the end of the tunnel. We offer a range of treatments tailored to address diverse acne concerns. Here’s a glimpse of what’s available:
INFINI: A cutting-edge treatment targeting acne scars and texture irregularities by stimulating collagen production.
PDL (Pulsed Dye Laser): Ideal for reducing redness and inflammation associated with acne rosacea.
Fraxel Dual and Fraxel Repair: These lasers work wonders in resurfacing the skin, addressing both active acne and scarring.
Dermal Fillers (Belotero, Juvederm, Restylane, Restylane Lyft, Radiesse): Effective in restoring volume loss and minimizing the appearance of depressed acne scars.
Remember, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to acne treatment. I will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan that caters to your unique needs and concerns. So, take heart—clear, radiant skin is within reach, and you don’t have to face this journey alone. With the right treatment and support, you can bid farewell to acne and embrace the confidence that comes with healthy, beautiful skin.

The Rise of Customized Combination Treatments: A New Era in Facial Rejuvenation
In the ever-evolving landscape of skincare and aesthetics, there’s a growing trend towards personalized approaches to facial rejuvenation. Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all treatments. Today, more and more individuals are seeking non-invasive, customized combination therapies to address their unique skin concerns and achieve natural-looking results. Let’s delve into why this trend is gaining momentum and how it’s revolutionizing the field of facial rejuvenation.
Tailored Solutions: Every face is unique, with its own set of aging concerns and aesthetic goals. Customized combination treatments allow for a comprehensive approach that addresses multiple aspects of facial aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, volume loss, and skin texture irregularities. By combining various modalities, such as laser therapy, dermal fillers, and advanced skincare, we can tailor treatment plans to deliver optimal results for each individual.
Synergistic Effects: One of the key advantages of combining different treatment modalities is the synergistic effects they can produce. For example, pairing laser resurfacing, such as Fraxel Dual or Fraxel Repair, with injectable fillers can not only improve skin texture and tone but also enhance overall facial volume and contouring. By strategically combining treatments, we can amplify the benefits and achieve greater rejuvenation outcomes than with standalone procedures alone.
Minimal Downtime: Non-invasive combination treatments typically offer minimal downtime compared to traditional surgical procedures. This means less disruption to daily life and quicker recovery times for patients. Many individuals appreciate the convenience and accessibility of non-surgical options, allowing them to refresh their appearance without the need for extensive recovery periods.
Natural-Looking Results: In today’s beauty landscape, the emphasis is on enhancing natural beauty rather than completely altering one’s appearance. Customized combination treatments prioritize subtle, yet noticeable improvements that complement the individual’s features. By using a combination of techniques, we can achieve results that look harmonious and natural, avoiding the overdone or “frozen” look often associated with more invasive procedures.
Long-Term Benefits: While immediate results are certainly gratifying, the true value of customized combination treatments lies in their long-term benefits. By addressing multiple layers of the skin and stimulating collagen production, these treatments can yield gradual improvements in skin quality and texture over time. This results in a more youthful and radiant complexion that continues to improve with each session.
As the demand for personalized skincare solutions continues to rise, the era of customized combination treatments for facial rejuvenation is here to stay. Whether you’re looking to target specific aging concerns or simply refresh your appearance, non-invasive combination therapies offer a safe, effective, and customizable approach to achieving your aesthetic goals. Call us today to discover the possibilities and embark on your journey towards revitalized skin.

Fraxel Dual treatments are customizable to each individual’s needs and offer significant improvement in the appearance of acne scars.
Infini: Infini combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to effectively treat acne scars from multiple angles. The microneedles create tiny channels in the skin, allowing the radiofrequency energy to penetrate deeply and stimulate collagen production. This results in smoother, more evenly toned skin with reduced acne scars and improved texture. Infini treatments are safe for all skin types and offer long-lasting results.
