Comprehensive
Non-Surgical Treatment Options

Injectables for a Youthful Appearance

BOTOX® & Dysport® – These injectables are used to smooth out dynamic facial wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause them.
Dermal Fillers – Injectable fillers are used to restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial features like the lips and cheeks.
Kybella® – This treatment is designed to reduce excess fat under the chin, offering a non-surgical solution to improve the contour of the neck and jawline.

Advanced Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

Chemical Peels – These topical solutions are used to exfoliate the skin, addressing concerns like uneven tone, texture, and signs of aging to reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion.
Microneedling – This procedure stimulates the skin’s natural healing by creating tiny micro-injuries, boosting collagen production to improve texture, reduce scars, and enhance overall skin rejuvenation.
IPL Photorejuvenation – Intense pulsed light (IPL) uses broad-spectrum light energy to address skin concerns such as sun damage, pigmentation, and redness.

Hair Restoration & Removal Solutions

PRP – Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is derived from the patient’s own blood to stimulate hair growth (as well as skin rejuvenation) by enhancing natural healing processes.
Laser Hair Removal – During this treatment, we can reduce or eliminate unwanted hair by targeting hair follicles, resulting in smoother skin without the need for frequent shaving or waxing.

The moment I walked into the clinic I felt a happy, welcomed and professional setting. I had my Sofwave treatment with Alison Falada, Master Esthetician and Laser Specialist. She was nothing short of amazing! She was personable, knowledgeable, skilled and detailed throughout the entire experience. She took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process, addressed all of my my questions and concerns. Alison is an expert and provided great quality service! I love my results and can't wait to book my next appointment with her!
