Cosmetic Consultation

In this thorough consultation you will learn how to individualize your makeup to enhance your features. You will be instructed in what colors and formulations will work best for you. After your skin is cleansed and treated a classic makeup application is performed on half of your face. Then, you will apply the cosmetics to the other half with the assistance of your skin care provider. Brow tweezing is provided, day-to-evening applications will be reviewed, and proper brush care is explained.

Skin Care  Consultation

Whether you’re a skin care novice or have tried every “miracle” cream on the market, whether you’re battling blemishes or wrinkles, or both, this is the place to uncover the facts about what will and won’t help your skin, and exactly why that is. After a thorough review of your skin health history and lifestyle habits, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and analyzed. The skin is viewed under a magnifying lamp and a Wood’s Lamp that allows us to observe conditions in the skin that can’t be viewed with the naked eye. Finally a full range of product and treatment options are reviewed to assist you in making educated decisions for the health and beauty of your skin.

Chemical Peels 

Chemical peels have been used for over 100 years to create an even and controlled shedding of damaged skin cells. A chemical peel is a solution applied to the skin to improve the texture by removing its damaged outer layers and stimulate the production of new skin cells. It tightens the skin, reduces wrinkling and restores a more youthful appearance. It is also helpful for those individuals with facial blemishes, wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and alpha and beta hydroxy acids (AHA and BHA) are used for this purpose.

Microdermabrasion 

Microdermabrasion has become an increasingly popular method for facial rejuvenation. Microdermabrasion is a gentle, gradual exfoliation of the skin's surface cells that reduces damage caused by age, sun and other environmental and hereditary factors. It can minimize fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring and even lighten age spots, and can be performed on any part of the body.

Microdermabrasion utilizes ultra-fine aluminum oxide crystals to resurface superficial layers of the skin. Vacuum pressure is used to evenly penetrate deeper layers of the skin. By gently, precisely exfoliating the surface of your skin over a course of weekly sessions, microdermabrasion remove years of buildup, revealing your skin beautiful. This repeated process stimulates the production of a new layer of skin cells, bringing with it an increased level of collagen and elastin, which further improves your skin's appearance.

Spa Services 

Our spa treatments offer a relaxing and therapeutic enhancement to your at-home skin care regimen. They are milder than our clinical treatments but may be combined with clinical therapies to achieve both relaxation and deep stimulation of the skin- so you can have the best of both worlds. Therapies may also be modified for those with special skin conditions such as rosacea and patients undergoing radiation and chemotherapy. Ask our doctors for information about additional services our aesthetician provides.

Peri-Operative Skin Care

Skin care becomes extremely important during cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Our aesthetician can help provide guidance on caring for your skin during the peri-operative period. Both skin care and cosmetic consultations are complimentary to all of our patients. You may schedule a complimentary consultation at the same time as scheduling your consultation with one of our doctors.

Skin Care Products

Unlike traditional skin care products and services that only treat problems on the surface of your skin, our doctor recommended skin care products and services reach deep below the surface, right down to the cellular level to stimulate and actually promote your skin’s restoration. Our licensed skin care aesthetician is trained in the art and science of skin health and beauty. Under the guidance of our doctors, the aesthetician will help to correct surface discoloration, blemishes, and stimulate cell renewal to bring back the glow and softness of healthy, younger-looking skin.


Our focus is skin health. We provide a thorough education to our patients on their products. Based on your skin type and condition, as well as your lifestyle and goals we will prescribe a skin care protocol that’s right for you. Through a synergistic use of prescribed products and state-of-the-art cosmetic formulations, our doctors and aesthetician can restore the function and vitality of your skin. Once your skin’s health has been restored, it will look beautiful, tolerate cosmetic procedures better and heal faster. Visit the links provided to the left for specific information about each line.

Permanent Make-up and Para-Medical Techniques


The tattooing of makeup requires specialized techniques and are often referred to as “micropigmentation”, “micropigment implantation” or “dermagraphics”. The cosmetic implantation technique deposits tiny individual implants of pigment into the dermal layer of the skin. Permanent make-up can help to camouflage scars from burns, surgery, accidents or injuries; redefinition of facial features. Tattooing can also cosmetically improve the appearance of your brows, lips and eyes.
