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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been seeing Carol for Botox for over two years, and she is absolutely amazing! I trust her completely with my face. She always takes the time to listen to what I want and makes sure my results look natural and beautiful—she never overdoes it. I especially appreciate how honest she is; she will tell you when you don’t need something rather than trying to sell you more treatments. Carol truly cares about her patients and always makes me feel comfortable, welcomed, and at home. She is professional, knowledgeable, gentle, and incredibly attentive. I always leave feeling confident and happy with my results. It’s hard to find someone you can trust this much, and I’m so grateful I found Carol.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience with my Moxi laser treatment with Stephanie! She was incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. She thoroughly explained what to expect before, during, and after the procedure and gave me clear, detailed instructions for caring for my skin at home. I truly felt cared for throughout the entire experience and am so excited to see my results! I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone considering Moxi or any other service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Lipo 360 and a Skinny BBL this summer, and I am so happy with my results. I was always extremely nervous about going under the knife, but I really wanted to do something that would help boost my self-confidence. Dr. T and his entire team were truly amazing throughout the whole process. I am naturally pretty skinny, so I was always worried about whether this procedure would work well for my body type, but I honestly wish I had done it sooner. I am currently about five weeks post-op, and I am already so pleased with how everything is turning out. My results continue to improve as I heal, and I’m excited to see the final outcome. I’m very grateful to Dr. T and his team for making me feel comfortable and confident throughout the experience.
