Cosmetic Dermatology Services & Treatments
Explore our comprehensive range of physician-administered treatments designed to restore, enhance, and protect your skin.
Injectables
Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Jeaveau)
Treatments that temporarily relax specific muscles to smooth wrinkles caused by facial expressions, such as frown lines and crow’s feet.
Fillers (Restylane, Silk, Lyft, Contour, Defyne, Refyne, Kysse)
Treatments injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth out lines and creases, and enhance facial contours like the lips and cheeks.
Sculptra
A treatment that works by activating your skin’s natural ability to produce new collagen, gradually restoring facial volume and improving skin quality.
Kybella
A treatment that uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid to permanently destroy fat cells under the chin, effectively reducing submental fullness (a “double chin”) and improving the contour of your jawline.
Laser & Light Treatments
VBeam Perfecta
Specialized pulsed-dye laser that targets and eliminates redness from the skin, making it the gold standard for treating conditions like rosacea, broken blood vessels, spider veins, and certain red scars.
Sciton BBL
A powerful and versatile light therapy treatment that uses different wavelengths to target unwanted pigment, redness, and visible signs of aging, while also stimulating collagen to improve overall skin health and clarity.
Sciton Erbium Laser Resurfacing
A highly precise treatment that vaporizes the outer layers of damaged skin to trigger a deep collagen-building response, effectively reducing everything from superficial imperfections to deep wrinkles and scars.
Microneedling
Morpheus8 (Microneedling with Radiofrequency)
A minimally invasive treatment that uniquely combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to trigger deep collagen production and remodel fat, simultaneously tightening sagging skin and resurfacing the overlying texture for a comprehensive rejuvenation of the face and body.
Elective Surgical Procedures
Mole Removal
A cosmetic procedure to remove a benign (non-cancerous) mole for aesthetic reasons or because it causes irritation, typically using methods like shaving, excision, or laser.
Earlobe Repair
A minor surgical procedure that skillfully corrects tears, splits, or stretched skin to restore the earlobe’s natural shape and contour.
Other Cosmetic Services
Sclerotherapy
A minimally invasive treatment where a specialized solution is injected directly into unwanted spider or small varicose veins, causing them to collapse, fade, and gradually be reabsorbed by the body.
Acne Scar Treatment
A variety of customized medical procedures, including lasers, microneedling, fillers, and peels, that work by either resurfacing the skin, breaking down scar tissue, or stimulating new collagen growth to improve the skin’s overall texture and reduce the appearance of indentations and discoloration.
Additional Aesthetic Treatments and Services
We are happy to offer medical aesthetician services provided by our licensed medical aesthetician, Francheska. These services involve customized, non-invasive skin care treatments, such as facials, chemical peels, and microneedling, in a clinical setting to maintain skin health, correct imperfections, and support physician-directed treatment plans.
SkinPen Microneedling
A treatment that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin with tiny, sterile needles, triggering the body’s natural healing process to boost collagen and elastin production for improved texture, firmness, and the reduction of scars and wrinkles.
SilkPeel Dermalinfusion
A 3-in-1, non-invasive treatment that simultaneously exfoliates the skin’s surface with a diamond tip, extracts impurities from pores, and infuses the skin with condition-specific serums for immediate hydration, clarity, and volume.
Chemical Peels
Customized skin-resurfacing treatments that use a carefully applied acid solution to exfoliate the top layers of skin, triggering cellular renewal to improve texture, reduce blemishes, and reveal a brighter, more even complexion.

How do I know which treatment is right for me?
The best way to determine the right treatment is through a personalized consultation. We will assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and recommend options tailored to your goals, timeline, and comfort level.
Are cosmetic treatments safe?
When performed in a medical setting by trained professionals, cosmetic treatments are generally very safe. We prioritize patient safety by using FDA-approved devices, evidence-based techniques, and thorough consultations to ensure appropriate treatment selection.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
Downtime varies depending on the procedure. Many treatments have minimal to no downtime, while others may involve a few days of redness, swelling, or sensitivity. We will review what to expect and how to plan around your schedule prior to treatment.
