There are many reasons to use the Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar before and after the 1540 Non-Ablative Fractional Laser. By using the Regenerating Skin Nectar two weeks before a laser procedure, you can precondition and pretreat your skin to clear old damaged collagen and elastin due to sun exposure and aging. By clearing out the old damaged collagen and elastin your cells can better communicate and produce more new healthy collagen and elastin.
After the procedure, Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar can optimize healing and decrease downtime by reducing the appearance of redness and decrease inflammation. The active ingredients help soothe the […]
Ultherapy is an ultrasound guided treatment that is used to treat mild to moderate skin laxity and wrinkles around the jowls, under the chin, around the eyes, crow’s feet and above the forehead for a brow lift. Ultherapy works by administering ultrasound energy to specific depths of skin with precise ultrasound guidance, which causes tissue tightening and collagen production. Unlike Lasers, non-surgical Ultherapy can bypass the superficial skin to deliver ultrasound energy at the right depths at the right temperature so it is safe to have during the summer when sun exposure is difficult to avoid. There is no downtime […]
1. The NEW CoolAdvantage Petite™ applicator is the ONLY upper arm non-invasive fat reduction technology that has been FDA approved.
2. This applicator is new and smaller which is perfect to treat upper arm fat, back, bra fat and banana roll.
3. Coolsculpting uses cryolipolysis which is cold induced apoptotic fat cell death. The Coolsculpting applicators are placed on the fat which are cooled to a critical temperature that causes cell death and destruction of the fat over a few months. This results in 22% fat reduction with each treatment. Results are visible in 2 months.
4. Previously, our smaller framed patients would […]
If you have mild to moderate forehead, facial or neck or decolletage laxity consider Ultherapy, a non-invasive procedure that can improve skin quality and tighten skin. Ultherapy deposits focused energy at precise targeted tissue beneath the skin at the optimal temperature to cause collagen regeneration. This energy triggers a natural response of collagen production in the skin’s foundation, resulting in a clinically significant lift of tissue over 2-3 months.
SIX REASONS WHY WE LOVE ULTHERAPY FOR SKIN Tightening
1. Unlike Lasers, non-surgical Ultherapy can bypass the superficial skin to deliver just the amount of ultrasound energy at the right depths at the […]

Restylane Lyft is an injectable hyaluronic acid gel used to correct volume loss and treat wrinkles in the face. Due to its larger particle size, it is injected along the periosteum and deep dermis to lift sagging tissue. As we age, sagging occurs (naturally) due to gravity and genetic disposition.
Restylane Lyft formally known as Perlane is the first and only FDA-approved filler indicated to provide fullness to cheeks and add volume to correct and smooth smile lines (nasolabial folds).
As we get older, we experience bone loss and decreased collagen production and elasticity. The malar fat pads which are referred to […]
