About Medspa Treatments for the Skin

Medspa treatments can effectively improve the quality of your skin barrier and reduce signs of aging. In 2023, specialists performed more than 25.4 million minimally invasive cosmetic procedures to help patients improve their well-being and quality of life. ⁽¹⁾

As you age, the long-term effects of sun exposure become more evident on your skin in the form of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. In fact, approximately 80% of skin aging is from UV exposure. ⁽²⁾

If you have a skin condition such as acne or rosacea, we can also help you improve your skin quality. Acne affects approximately 45 million people in the US. ⁽³⁾ You can rejuvenate your skin with customizable treatments without the risk of surgical scars or anesthesia that disrupts your daily routine. Medspa treatments can improve the texture, tone, and quality of your skin for long-lasting radiance.

Skin Tightening and Rejuvenation

Non-surgical skin tightening treatments can improve the appearance of your skin without long surgical scars. We offer several different types of treatments to help you achieve your aesthetic goals:

Injectables & Wrinkle Relaxers

Injectables are minimally invasive treatments that can enhance your appearance by adding volume or reducing muscle movements to prevent fine lines and wrinkles from forming.

Dysport

Dysport is an injectable that can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes and brows. It is also a neuromodulator that contains botulinum to improve signs of facial aging without anesthesia. It can help reduce the appearance of droopy jowls, lips, and worry lines. Some patients also receive Dysport treatments for migraines and excessive sweating. During your consultation ,we can discuss the best treatment for your needs.

Xeomin

Xeomin is a neuromodulator formulated with XTRACT Technology™ ⁽²⁾–a purified formula for sensitive patients who suffer from allergic reactions. We can help you reduce repetitive muscle movements for a smoother complexion and more radiant skin with fewer side effects.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers provide volume to your skin. With a thin needle, we can administer the treatment beneath your skin for a smoother, plumper look:

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

If you would like to rejuvenate your skin without the use of synthetics, we can draw your own blood for use during a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment. From the blood sample, we can extract plasma with a centrifuge for reinjection into the skin. This treatment can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles because it helps your skin barrier regenerate new, healthy cells.

Salmon Sperm Injections

Salmon sperm injections (Rejuran Healer) can rejuvenate your skin and help your body produce new cells to improve your skin’s tone and texture. Polynucleotides– a key component of salmon sperm– are well-known for promoting cellular regeneration and regulating your body’s gene expression. ⁽⁴⁾ If you would like to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles or increase your skin’s elasticity and hydration, we can administer the treatment to renew your complexion. The treatment is customizable and does not require a blood sample or fillers so you can renew your skin without synthetics.

Facial Treatments

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels resurface your skin and can stimulate collagen production to reduce signs of facial aging. They come in different strengths to address a variety of skin conditions:

Chemical peels are a good fit for individuals who would like a noninvasive treatment to address signs of facial aging or sun damage. They are best for patients with symptoms that do not require surgical intervention.

Hair Restoration

Thinning hair can affect your self-esteem, and progressive conditions such as androgenic alopecia can result in bald spots or a receding hairline that changes your appearance. If you have recently experienced hair loss, hair restoration is an effective, natural way to help you achieve thicker, more consistent hair growth. During the treatment, we can harvest your natural hair follicles with a robotic device that preserves the follicles in a special solution. Next, we can place them in the area where you are experiencing thinning hair. We harvest the hair follicles carefully to provide a natural look. Once the follicles take root, you can enjoy consistent, thicker hair growth in the treated area.

ACP Hair Restoration

ACP hair restoration is a form of regenerative medicine that stimulates hair growth for thicker, fuller hair. During the treatment, we will draw a small sample of blood to create a nutrient-rich serum. We can administer the serum to the scalp where it will increase the fibroblasts in your skin– this increases the collagen and elastin in your skin and increases the growth factors in your scalp to support hair growth. After the treatment, you can enjoy stronger hair follicles and although the treatment does not require downtime, you will need to avoid sun exposure.

Keralase

Keralase is a fractional laser treatment that stimulates hair growth with targeted laser energy that generates heat and increases collagen production. The laser creates microscopic channels in the skin and heat triggers collagen production and improves your skin’s elastin levels. During the treatment, we will apply a growth-factor-rich serum (KeraFactor) that contains lipids (micro-liposomes) and administer the laser energy to your scalp. The comfortable treatment does not damage the scalp and it does not require downtime. However, you will need to be careful to avoid sun exposure and take good care of your skin.

Body Contouring

Body contouring is one of the most effective ways to emphasize your curves and reduce smaller pockets of excess fat. Some of these procedures can also tighten sagging skin without the need for long surgical incisions or lengthy treatments. For example, Trusculpt 3D is a radiofrequency treatment that helps your body reduce pockets of excess fat for a smoother appearance. TruSculpt 3D offers versatile treatment options, primarily focusing on three types of adjustments:

Weight Loss Programs

In addition to skin treatments, we offer medically-assisted weight loss programs as one of the most effective ways to improve patients’ well-being and long-term health. Being overweight or obese can put you at risk of developing chronic illnesses that affect the longevity of your health. We offer convenient weekly injectable weight loss medications that optimize your metabolism to improve your health and achieve your health goals. Medically assisted weight loss medications trigger insulin production and curb cravings for more effective weight loss.
