Tame Your Treatment Anxiety with Pro-Nox: Your Comfort, Your Control
We understand that stepping into a doctor’s office can stir up anxiety for many. “White Coat Syndrome” is real—a rise in nerves and heart rate just from the clinical environment. At our practice, we’ve always prioritized your comfort with various techniques depending on the procedure. With Pro-Nox, you can have even more control over your relaxation.
What is Pro-Nox?
Pro-Nox is a cutting-edge blend of 50% nitrous oxide (commonly known as “laughing gas”) and 50% oxygen. You may be familiar with nitrous oxide from dental visits, but Pro-Nox is different. Its milder formulation is self-administered, giving you full control. Simply breathe through a handheld tube, adjusting the amount you inhale based on your needs in the moment.
Why Choose Pro-Nox?
Whether you’re feeling uneasy about injections or prefer to avoid stronger anesthetics during longer treatments like SmartLipo or Thermage, Pro-Nox offers immediate relief. It takes the edge off without putting you out. One of its best features is the quick recovery time—the effects wear off rapidly, allowing you to drive yourself home after certain procedures where you’d otherwise need a ride.
Safety You Can Trust
You’re in control, but the system is designed to ensure you can only inhale the safest amount of gas. You’ll experience a sense of calm without any lingering drowsiness. This empowers you to focus on your results without worrying about discomfort or post-treatment grogginess.
Next Steps
Don’t let fear or anxiety hold you back from looking and feeling your best. Next time you visit for a cosmetic treatment, ask us about Pro-Nox. We’re here to make your experience as comfortable as possible.

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.
Neck Appeal: Top Treatments to Turn Back the Clock on Aging
Just like the skin on your face, the delicate neck area is highly susceptible to aging and environmental damage. Over time, you might notice unwanted changes in texture and tone, such as sagging, wrinkles, or pigmentation.
Brown spots and discoloration, particularly on the décolletage, can become more noticeable due to sun exposure. The chest area may also appear red, blotchy, or wrinkled. In addition, some people develop horizontal lines or bands around the neck, while others see vertical cords, known as platysmal bands, becoming more prominent. As collagen and elastin levels decline with age, the skin on the neck may start to sag and take on a crepey appearance.
At home, it’s important to take care of your neck just as you do your face. Make sure to moisturize, apply SPF, and use retinol products to maintain a healthy, youthful look. But if you’re not seeing the results you want, we offer a variety of advanced treatments that can help you achieve a firmer, more youthful neck.
Here are some of our most effective solutions:
- SmartLipo Triplex: This procedure permanently removes fat by destroying fat cells and tightening the delicate neck skin.
- Kybella: A series of injections that dissolve submental fat (under the chin) while also providing some skin-tightening benefits.
- Infini: Combines microneedling with radiofrequency to tighten the neck and jowls while reducing crepiness.
- Thermage CPT: A non-invasive treatment that tightens the skin on the neck and jowls.
- Exilis Ultra 360: A non-invasive method for tightening the neck and jowls, with the added benefit of fat reduction.
- Fraxel Repair: Resurfaces and tightens the skin on the neck and jowls, improving both crepiness and hyperpigmentation (red or brown spots).
If you’re ready to rejuvenate your neck, call our office today to schedule a complimentary consultation. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve the beautiful, youthful look you deserve.

Revitalize Your Eyes: Effective Non-Surgical Treatments for Common Eye Area Issues
The skin around your eyes is delicate and often the first to show signs of aging. Because your eyes play a central role in your overall expression, even minor issues can have a significant impact. Fortunately, there are proven treatments available to minimize these effects and help you maintain a youthful appearance.
Droopy Lids and Brows
You might think that drooping eyelids and brows require traditional surgery, but there are effective nonsurgical solutions available. Thermage is one of the best treatments for lifting and tightening the skin above the eyes without any incisions or downtime. This thermal lift stimulates collagen production, which naturally diminishes with age, resulting in smoother, firmer skin that lasts for years.
Puffiness and Sunken Spots
Even if you’re well-rested and hydrated, you may still experience puffiness or hollowing under your eyes. Depending on your specific needs, we can address these concerns in several ways. Thermage can lift and firm the delicate skin around the eyes, while dermal fillers like Restylane, Juvederm, and Belotero, made from natural hyaluronic acid, can instantly plump and smooth under-eye hollows, restoring a more youthful appearance.
Crow’s Feet and Wrinkles
The natural movement of your eyes when you smile or squint can lead to the formation of crow’s feet and wrinkles over time. Botox and Dysport injections are highly effective in minimizing these stubborn lines. By relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, these treatments smooth out the skin around your eyes. Within just a week, you’ll notice your eyes looking brighter and more refreshed, with wrinkles significantly reduced.
Dark Circles
While there’s no cosmetic treatment that can replace your trusty concealer, there are non-invasive procedures that can address the underlying causes of dark circles. These circles often appear due to shadows formed by puffiness and hollow tear troughs. By addressing both the bulging and the hollowing, we can reduce the shadow effect, making dark circles less noticeable. Thermage can lift the eye area, while hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane Eyelight, Juvederm, and Belotero can restore fullness and smoothness to sunken tear troughs.
Personalized Eye Treatments
The eyes are one of the most commonly treated areas of the face, as they endure a variety of age-related issues. Schedule a complimentary consultation with us today, and we’ll help you determine the best treatments to keep your eyes looking youthful and vibrant.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
September, Seriously
As fall arrives, it’s time to buckle down and focus on work and studies. With vacation days behind us, we often become more serious about our daily responsibilities. A crucial part of every day is how we feel, with happiness being a top priority for many. When we’re happy, we tend to excel in all areas of life—whether at work, home, school, or elsewhere.
Our self-perception plays a significant role in our happiness. The more confident we are in our abilities, the more secure we feel emotionally, and the more enthusiastic we are about life’s experiences, the happier we become. How we feel about our appearance also contributes to our overall well-being. The saying “Look good, feel good” holds true, and we’re here to help you embody that.
Now is an excellent time to focus on self-improvement, making subtle changes that enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence. Fall is the perfect season to get serious about refining your look. Here are our top recommendations for this month:
Lift Your Spirits and Your Skin: With advanced dermal fillers like Juvederm, Radiesse, and the Restylane family, we can lift and contour your facial features, restoring natural fullness exactly where it’s needed. This nonsurgical, virtually pain-free “liquid facelift” can reduce wrinkles, lines, and folds, giving you a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
Whether we’re lifting the entire face or targeting specific areas such as under-eye bags, marionette lines, sagging eyelids, jowls, or flattened cheeks, we can even disguise bumps on the nose—avoiding the need for surgery and anesthesia, with no downtime required.
No More Turtlenecks: Infini microneedling is a particularly effective treatment for enhancing your skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin, two vital components for keeping your skin youthful and plump. Tiny needles penetrate the top layer of your skin, triggering new collagen and elastin production. This can lead to improved skin texture and firmness, with excellent results in reducing acne scars, pore size, and stretch marks.
Say Eye: Thermage CPT, often hailed as the first nonsurgical facelift, can transform your skin from head to toe. This thermal lift tightens loose skin on the eyelids, under-eye areas, abdomen, arms, legs, and even the buttocks. For the eye area, Thermage CPT reduces hooding, improves texture, and softens fine lines and crow’s feet. It’s a safe and effective option for eyelid rejuvenation.
Shape a Better You: SmartLipo Triplex is a minimally invasive method for removing unwanted fat and sculpting the body. This laser treatment melts fat cells and suctions them away. The updated Triplex technology uses three wavelengths of laser light for better fat removal, tighter skin, and high-definition body sculpting.

Turning Back Time: Effective Treatments for Sagging Skin
Sagging skin isn’t something you mark on your calendar: “Skin sagging, July 15th.” It’s a gradual change that sneaks up on you until one day, you notice it.
The once firm and taut skin now appears to droop. You understand that your body’s collagen production has slowed, but the effects are more noticeable than expected. Collagen, the natural substance that supports your skin, helps maintain a youthful and lifted appearance. As it depletes due to aging, hereditary factors, or environmental influences, your skin may begin to sag. This, combined with a decrease in elastin, the material that provides suppleness and resilience, results in a loss of skin tension and elasticity.
No area of your body is immune. You might notice sagging on your face, neck, eyelids, abdomen, arms, legs, and buttocks. While no non-surgical treatment can completely reverse this process, many options can significantly improve your appearance. We offer safe and effective treatments designed to help your skin look younger and tighter.
Here are a few:
- Thermage CPT: A thermal lift particularly effective for reducing loose skin around the eyes.
- Exilis Ultra 360: This treatment combines radiofrequency and ultrasound to offer maximum power and targeted control, focusing on specific areas that need attention.
- INFINI: A high-energy radiofrequency device that smooths wrinkles and plumps skin, also helpful for minimizing acne scarring.
- Fraxel Repair: A laser treatment that reduces deep lines, hard-to-erase lip lines, pronounced photodamage, sagging face and neck skin, facial wrinkles and discolorations, rough skin texture, and both acne and surgical scars.
- SmartLipo Triplex: A laser treatment that simultaneously removes fat and tightens skin.
- Kybella: A treatment used to minimize submental fat, commonly known as the “double chin.”
If sagging skin concerns you, come in and talk with us about how we can help you feel better. Our consultations are complimentary, so call today to schedule an appointment.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Reclaim Your Youth: Non-Invasive Solutions for Sagging Skin
As time passes, it’s natural for our skin to undergo changes. The once firm and resilient appearance may give way to sagging and drooping, signaling a decrease in collagen and elastin production—the building blocks of youthful skin. Whether due to aging, genetics, or environmental factors, sagging skin can affect various parts of the body, from the face and neck to the abdomen and limbs. But fear not, for there are safe and effective treatments available to restore firmness and vitality to your skin.
At East End Laser Care, we offer a range of non-invasive treatments designed to combat sagging skin and rejuvenate your appearance. Here’s how we can help:
Thermage CPT: Using radiofrequency technology, Thermage CPT stimulates collagen production, resulting in tighter, smoother skin with minimal downtime.
Exilis Ultra 360: This innovative treatment combines radiofrequency and ultrasound to target sagging skin, delivering noticeable results with no surgery required.
INFINI: By harnessing the power of microneedling and radiofrequency energy, INFINI stimulates collagen production, effectively tightening and lifting sagging skin.
Fraxel Repair Laser: Fraxel Repair Laser resurfaces the skin, promoting collagen regeneration and improving overall skin tone and texture.
Smartlipo Triplex: This advanced laser liposuction technique not only removes unwanted fat but also tightens the skin, resulting in a smoother, more contoured appearance.
Kybella: Specifically targeting submental fullness, or double chin, Kybella injections help eliminate fat and improve the appearance of sagging skin under the chin.
Ultra Femme 360: A non-invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten and lift the skin in the vaginal and labial areas, promoting a more youthful appearance.
Rejuvenating Your Gaze: Non-Surgical Treatments for Aging Eyes
As we age, the delicate skin around our eyes is often the first to show signs of aging. From wrinkles and fine lines to puffiness and dark circles, aging eyes can detract from our overall appearance and make us look tired or older than we feel. Fortunately, there are a variety of options to rejuvenate the eye area without the need for invasive surgery.
Botox for Crow’s Feet: One of the most popular non-surgical treatments for aging eyes is Botox. This neuromodulator works by relaxing the muscles around the eyes, reducing the appearance of crow’s feet and dynamic wrinkles. With just a few quick injections, Botox can smooth out fine lines and restore a more youthful, refreshed look to the eye area.
Dermal Fillers for Tear Troughs: Hollowing or dark circles under the eyes, known as tear troughs, can contribute to a tired or aged appearance. Injectable dermal fillers, such as Restylane Eyelight and Belotero, can help plump up this area, smoothing out hollows and reducing the appearance of dark circles. By restoring lost volume, dermal fillers can rejuvenate the under-eye area and create a more rested, youthful appearance.
Laser Skin Resurfacing: Laser treatments such as Fraxel Repair or Fraxel Dual, can address a variety of concerns around the eyes, including wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin texture. Fractional laser resurfacing stimulates collagen production and promotes skin renewal, resulting in smoother, tighter skin with improved tone and texture. Laser treatments can also help reduce the appearance of sun damage and age spots, giving the eyes a brighter, more radiant look.
Thermage for Skin Tightening: Thermage utilizes radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten loose skin around the eyes. This non-invasive treatment targets sagging skin, smoothing out wrinkles and improving overall skin texture without surgery or downtime.
Exilis Ultra 360 for Eye Rejuvenation: Exilis Ultra 360 combines radiofrequency and ultrasound energies to target both superficial and deep layers of the skin around the eyes. By promoting collagen remodeling and tightening loose skin, Exilis Ultra 360 can reduce wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and enhance the overall appearance of the eye area.
Whether you’re targeting wrinkles, dark circles, or sagging skin, there are effective options available to address your specific concerns without surgery. Call our office today and I’ll design a treatment plan just for you.
