Neuromodulator (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin)

Cosmetic injections such as neuromodulators temporarily relax targeted muscles and can last 3 to 4 months. They can freshen your look by softening the lines on your face, commonly caused by repeated facial expressions. Neuromodulators are made from highly purified, naturally occurring proteins. They work by relaxing targeted muscles and gradually smoothing wrinkles as the muscle relaxes.

An IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photofacial is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses broad-spectrum light to target various skin imperfections and signs of aging. The treatment is commonly used to address issues such as sun damage, brown spots, redness, and uneven skin tone. During an IPL photofacial, intense pulses of light are delivered to the skin, targeting specific pigments or blood vessels. This process stimulates collagen production and promotes the gradual fading of pigmented lesions, resulting in a more even skin tone and improved texture. IPL photofacials can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands and are considered a quick and effective option for skin rejuvenation.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures or micro-injuries on the skin's surface. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin structure and elasticity.

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures or micro-injuries on the skin's surface. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin structure and elasticity.

The purpose of microneedling is to improve the appearance of various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. The micro-injuries created by the needles prompt the skin to regenerate and repair, leading to a more youthful and rejuvenated complexion over time.


Chemical Peel

A chemical peel improves skin texture and tone by applying an acid to lower the skin's pH, which loosens dead skin cells, promoting exfoliation and new cell growth. This process reveals smoother, radiant skin. Peels can be mild, targeting fine lines and uneven tone, or deeper, addressing acne scars or wrinkles, depending on skin type and desired results.

Autologous Protein Solution (APS) is a new treatment for knee pain associated with mild to moderate osteoarthritis (OA). It is designed to alleviate pain and restore balance to your inflamed knee by introducing high levels of good proteins from your blood to the affected knee. These good proteins can block the harmful proteins (cytokines) responsible for your joint's inflammatory condition. Other good proteins can then contribute to the health of your cartilage. In just one treatment, APS can reduce pain in the knee joint, improve joint function, and slow cartilage destruction.
