Reclaim Confidence with Ultra Femme 360: The Nonsurgical Feminine Rejuvenation Solution
As women age or after childbirth, it’s common to notice changes in feminine anatomy. Skin may begin to lose elasticity, become looser, and intimate sensation might not be what it used to be. These natural changes can impact confidence and even affect daily life.
That’s where the Ultra Femme 360 comes in—a breakthrough nonsurgical treatment designed to address these concerns. This advanced technology delivers targeted thermal energy to stimulate collagen production, rejuvenating both the internal and external tissues of the vagina. The result? A firmer, more youthful appearance and improved sensation.
In addition to enhancing tightness and sensation, Ultra Femme 360 can also help with stress incontinence and improve natural lubrication. Best of all, the treatment is completely pain-free and typically requires just three sessions to achieve optimal results.
If you’re experiencing changes due to age, childbirth, or other factors, we invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation. We’ll help you determine if the Ultra Femme 360 is the right solution for your needs.

Seasonal Skin Reset: The Best Cosmetic Treatments to Try This Fall
As the sun starts to cool and beach days are behind us, fall becomes the ideal season to consider certain cosmetic treatments. With more layers of clothing and fewer sunny days, it’s a great time to rejuvenate your skin without worrying about intense sun exposure.
Here are some top treatments to consider this fall:
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
IPL is a noninvasive laser treatment designed to improve the overall texture and tone of your skin by targeting redness, pigmentation, lines, and large pores. It can be used on multiple areas, including the face, neck, chest, hands, and legs, making it a versatile solution for various skin concerns.
By delivering broadband light to the deeper layers of the skin (dermis), IPL helps treat imperfections such as:
- Rosacea
- Fine wrinkles
- Sun and age spots
The best part? IPL leaves the outer layer of your skin untouched, allowing for faster recovery with no damage to the surface.
Diolite
Known for its pinpoint precision, the Diolite laser is perfect for erasing vascular and pigmented imperfections. Unlike older lasers that could cause pain or uncomfortable side effects like blistering and crusting, Diolite delivers effective results without the discomfort. The laser’s intense light beam is absorbed by the blood vessels in the target area, destroying unwanted cells and leaving your skin looking fresh and rejuvenated. Whether you’re dealing with broken capillaries, brown spots, or other skin irregularities, Diolite can help you achieve a smoother complexion with minimal downtime.
DermaFrac
DermaFrac is a great alternative to fractional laser treatments, combining micro-channeling technology with powerful serums tailored to your skin’s needs. This treatment uses tiny microneedles to penetrate the skin and infuse it with serums without causing any bleeding.
DermaFrac is safe for all skin types and can treat a variety of concerns, including:
- Acne and acne scars
- Stretch marks
- Dehydrated skin
- Superficial fine lines and wrinkles
- Pigmentation and uneven skin tone
Specific serums are used for different skin conditions:
- Lactic and salicylic acids for acne
- Kojic acid for lightening
- Hyaluronic acid with HylaSponge technology for deep hydration
- Peptides for stimulating collagen and reducing fine lines
No matter your skin concern, DermaFrac can give you a refreshed, youthful glow.
Fall is the perfect time to focus on your skin’s renewal. Call our office today to schedule a complimentary consultation, and we’ll help you create a personalized autumn beauty plan.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
How Juvederm Voluma Can Enhance Your Appearance
As we age, one of the most noticeable changes in our appearance is the loss of volume in our cheeks. This can lead to a tired, sunken look and can make wrinkles and sagging skin more pronounced. Fortunately, Juvederm Voluma, a popular hyaluronic acid (HA) filler, offers a non-surgical solution to restore volume and rejuvenate your face. Here’s how Juvederm Voluma can improve your appearance:
1. Restores Lost Volume
Juvederm Voluma works by replenishing lost volume in the midface area. As we age, the natural fat pads in our cheeks diminish, leading to a hollowed appearance. Voluma adds instant volume, giving your cheeks a fuller, more youthful look. Its thick, smooth consistency makes it ideal for this purpose.
2. Enhances Facial Contours
Well-defined cheekbones are a key aspect of an attractive and balanced face. Juvederm Voluma can enhance your natural bone structure, creating a more sculpted and contoured appearance. This improvement can lead to a more harmonious facial profile, enhancing your overall look.
3. Lifts Sagging Skin
Volume loss in the cheeks can cause the skin to sag, leading to jowls and deeper nasolabial folds (the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth). By adding volume to the cheeks, Juvederm Voluma can lift and tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of sagging and smoothing out these lines.
4. Provides Natural-Looking Results
Juvederm Voluma is known for its ability to integrate smoothly with the skin, providing natural-looking results. The hyaluronic acid in Voluma attracts and retains moisture, ensuring that the treated areas remain plump and hydrated. This leads to a subtle enhancement that looks and feels natural.
5. Immediate and Long-Lasting Effects
One of the benefits of Juvederm Voluma is that it provides immediate results. You’ll notice a difference in your appearance right after the treatment, with full results typically visible within a few days. The effects of Voluma can last up to 24 months, making it one of the longest-lasting HA fillers available.
Juvederm Voluma is an effective way to combat signs of aging and enhance your natural beauty. By restoring lost volume, enhancing facial contours, lifting sagging skin, and providing natural-looking results, Voluma can significantly improve your appearance. If you’re looking for a non-surgical solution to achieve a youthful, refreshed look, Juvederm Voluma may be the perfect option for you.

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.
Demystifying Laser Treatments: Illuminating the Path to Radiant Skin
Laser treatments have become synonymous with achieving radiant and youthful skin, but for many, the process remains shrouded in mystery. Let’s shed light on the world of laser treatments, dispelling myths and unraveling the secrets behind these transformative procedures.
The Science Behind Lasers:
Laser treatments harness the power of concentrated light to address a spectrum of skin concerns. Contrary to popular belief, lasers aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. There are various types of lasers, each designed to target specific issues, from wrinkles and pigmentation to scars and uneven texture.
How Laser Treatments Work:
At the core, lasers work by emitting focused energy that penetrates the skin. This energy stimulates collagen production, promoting skin renewal and a more youthful appearance. Depending on the type of laser, treatments can range from ablative, removing outer layers of skin, to non-ablative, which heats the underlying tissue without damaging the surface.
Common Misconceptions:
- Painful Procedures: Laser treatments are often well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. Most sessions involve a brief sensation, often likened to the snap of a rubber band, and some lasers, such as the Fraxel Dual, incorporate cooling mechanisms for added comfort.
- Downtime: While some ablative lasers, such as Fraxel Repair, may require a few days of downtime for skin recovery, many non-ablative treatments allow individuals to resume their normal activities immediately. Advances in technology have significantly minimized post-treatment downtime.
- One and Done Magic: Achieving optimal results often involves a series of treatments. While some improvements may be noticeable after the first session, a well-planned series ensures cumulative and long-lasting benefits.
Busting the Cellulite Myth: Unveiling the Magic of Cellulaze Treatment
We’ve all heard the whispers about cellulite – that stubborn, dimpled skin that seems to appear out of nowhere. The truth is, cellulite is incredibly common, affecting people of all shapes and sizes. It’s not about fitness levels or body weight; cellulite is more about the structure of the skin and fat beneath it.
Cellulite occurs when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin, creating a dimpled or lumpy appearance, often likened to the texture of orange peel. Despite its prevalence, cellulite can be a source of frustration for many individuals, impacting self-confidence and body image.
But fear not – there’s a game-changer in the world of aesthetic treatments: Cellulaze. This revolutionary laser-assisted technology is designed to target the structural causes of cellulite. Unlike creams and temporary solutions, Cellulaze goes deeper, addressing the root of the issue beneath the skin.
How Cellulaze Works
- Laser Precision: Cellulaze employs laser energy to target and melt fat deposits beneath the skin, smoothing out the uneven appearance.
- Release of Fibrous Bands: The treatment releases the tight, fibrous bands that pull down on the skin, creating the characteristic dimples.
- Stimulation of Collagen: By stimulating collagen production, Cellulaze promotes skin elasticity, leading to a firmer and smoother surface.
Is Cellulaze Right for You?
If you’re tired of battling cellulite with temporary fixes and creams, Cellulaze could be the solution you’ve been searching for. This treatment has become a go-to option for those seeking lasting results in the quest for smoother, more radiant skin.
Contact us today to schedule a consultation and discover if Cellulaze is the key to unlocking the smooth, beautiful skin you’ve always desired.

The Beauty of Non-Invasive Treatments: Why Less Can Be More
In the ever-evolving landscape of cosmetic enhancements, the pursuit of beauty has taken a transformative turn. Non-invasive cosmetic treatments have emerged as a revolutionary solution, offering remarkable results with fewer risks, shorter recovery times, and a more natural appearance.
Unlike surgical procedures, non-invasive treatments don’t require incisions or anesthesia, significantly reducing the risk of complications, infections, and adverse reactions. Non-invasive procedures also offer a quicker recovery and little to no downtime, allowing patients to enjoy the results without putting their lives on hold.
Non-invasive treatments are designed to enhance your natural beauty, rather than drastically alter your appearance. These procedures focus on subtle improvements that bring out your best features, ensuring you look like yourself—just refreshed and rejuvenated. Treatments can also be tailored to a person’s unique needs and desires. Whether you’re looking to smooth wrinkles, add volume, or refine facial contours, non-invasive options offer the flexibility to customize your results.
The allure of non-invasive cosmetic treatments lies in their ability to provide impressive, natural-looking results without the commitment and risks associated with surgery. With minimal downtime and personalized approaches, these treatments offer a smarter, safer, and more convenient way to enhance your beauty. Whether you’re seeking a refreshed complexion or a rejuvenated silhouette, our non-invasive treatments can help you look and feel your best.

Body Sculpting: Your Best Shape is Easy to Have
Body shaping changes the size, profile and parameters of your anatomy, refining and sculpting areas that fail to respond to diet and exercise. My philosophy is to look at your body as a whole, not as a sum of parts, to create a natural and balanced silhouette that suits your frame. In our fully accredited facility, I utilize many state-of-the-art methods for doing this, including Smartlipo TriPlex, Exilis, Thermage CPT and Cellulaze.
What Will Body Sculpting Do For You?
- tighten loose skin after dramatic weight loss
- restore a pre-pregnancy body after childbirth
- tighten up loose saggy skin and remove excess fat pockets
- eliminate cellulite and the “dimples” it causes
- give you a trim, firm and contoured body
- boost self-confidence and esteem
When Is the Best Time for Body Sculpting?
Before you have any body shaping procedure, it’s important that you are in good general health and are at a stable weight for at least three months. You may choose to have treatments on multiple body areas, and these may be done at the same time or at different times, depending upon your individual plan.
Here are some of the procedures that we perform in our fully accredited facility:
Smartlipo TriPlex is less invasive and more precise than traditional liposuction. It removes unwanted fat from specific body areas that have resisted even the strictest diets and toughest exercise regimens. The process actually melts fat, stimulates skin tightening and encourages collagen renewal, using three wavelengths of light and a tiny cannula the size of a small ballpoint pen tip. Smartlipo is particularly effective on the abdomen, neck, jawline, inner arms, male breasts, love handles, bra fat (overhang), inner/outer thighs, inner knees, chin, hips, buttocks, pubic mound and back of neck.
Exilis Ultra 360 offers the newest advances in nonsurgical skin tightening to reduce unwanted inches and to lift and contour sagging skin anywhere on your body.
Thermage CPT is a nonsurgical facelift that will transform skin all over your body. The thermal lift will tighten loose skin on the eyelids, under-eye areas, abdomen, arms, legs and buttocks. Thermage CPT, the most effective lift treatment for a multitude of concerns, yields dramatic results without incisions and recuperation.
Cellulaze melts excess fat under the skin and removes the fibrous bands that pull skin into a dimple. It is a minimally invasive way of decreasing the appearance of cellulite in the areas where it typically crops up–the buttocks, hips, thighs, arms and abdomen. Cellulaze also stimulates collagen production, which thickens your skin.
As the summer approaches, I look forward to helping you devise a personalized treatment plan for reshaping and contouring your skin. I know that you will love feeling younger, healthier and more vibrant.
See you soon.

Now we can safely, quickly and effectively deliver the right amount of targeted energy in order to tighten, firm and tone loose and sagging skin and reshape and melt stubborn fatty deposits anywhere on your face and body.

Keeping Dry Skin at Bay
When winter temperatures hit, we put on coats, scarves, hats and boots to keep our bodies warm. But it is just as, if not more important, to protect the delicate skin on your face.
Biting cold and wind can assault exposed skin, causing dryness, chafing and other more serious skin disorders, including frostbite. And, it happens quickly. So, before you venture out, even for a few minutes, moisturize with a broad-spectrum sunblock and apply a petroleum-based product to your lips. If your moisturizer is oil-based, choose an oil that is “non-clogging,” such as avocado, mineral, primrose or almond. Then, cover your face as best as you can with a scarf or hood. Also, don’t forget the sunglasses, which will protect your eyes from glare, freezing temperatures and wind.
To avoid the inflamed and itchy skin that happens all over your body during the winter months, you can take several preventative steps all season long, around the clock. Remember, the condition happens because of a lack of water, not oil, so the following tactics aim to prevent dehydration.
- If your facial skin is uncomfortably dry, avoid using harsh peels, masks, and alcohol-based toners or astringents, all of which can strip vital oil from your skin. Instead, find a cleansing milk or mild foaming cleanser, an alcohol-free toner and masks that are “deeply hydrating” rather than clay-based, which tend to draw moisture out of the face.
- Trap water from a shower or bath quickly by applying a water-in-oil cream moisturizer. If you have sensitive skin to begin with, use a cream moisturizer that does not contain lanolin or perfume, and don’t scrimp. More is better in this case, particularly on your hands, elbows and feet (these can contain petroleum or glycerin).
- Choose a shower instead of a bath; sitting in hot water will break down lipids and dry your skin.
- Limit your use of hot water and soap. Take short lukewarm showers, using non-detergent soaps and cleansers, and only as much as you need since they remove natural moisturizers from the skin. If you must bathe, keep the water as cool as possible.
- Keep your house temperature as low as you can (no higher than 78 degrees) and use a humidifier that returns moisture to the air.
- Overnight, use a thicker night cream on your face, a product formulated for the delicate skin under and over the eyes, and a lip balm.
As always, call my office to schedule a complimentary consultation to learn how we can help you look and feel your best.

RED-CARPET SKIN CARE…IN A FEW EASY STEPS
It’s fun to watch our favorite actors arriving for the Oscars, primped, polished and poofed to perfection. We all know, though, that this sort of thing can take hours…and hours…to achieve. For everyday good looks, though, there are skin care tricks that will leave you looking just as beautiful without as much effort.
The best part is, the strategy is quite simple. Less is more, when it comes to skin. Here are a few basic tricks for getting–and keeping–your face in movie star shape:
- Be diligent about cleansing: Wash away impurities twice a day with a gentle cleanser. Avoid soap and any other products that contain harsh detergents.
- Be careful with your eyes: Use eye makeup remover around your eyes. Delicate skin requires delicate treatment. Avoid the urge to scrub the skin surrounding your eye and instead, soak a cotton ball or square in oil-free makeup remover and using downward strokes over your lashes, gently remove mascara, liner and shadow.
- Moisturize, day and night, and then, do it again: More is more, when it comes to hydration. After cleansing, apply eye cream and oil-free moisturizer (with sunscreen) liberally. Make sure to remember your lips and neck. At night, after cleansing, apply a rich night cream to your skin and lips.
- Remember to exfoliate: Two to three times a week, use a mild exfoliant to slough away dead skin cells. A rotating facial brush will work, as will creams and lotions containing microbeads. Avoid any products made from shells (such as apricot scrubs), as these can damage your skin.
