Microdermabrasion:Microdermabrasion is a skin-freshening technique that helps repair facial skin that takes a beating from the sun and the effects of aging. A fine sandblaster-like device is used to spray tiny crystals across the face, combining gentle abrasion with suction to remove the problem areas of the outer layer of your skin. As with other skin rejuvenation techniques, more than one treatment may be needed to reduce or remove fine wrinkles and unwanted pigmentation.
The Obagi Blue Peels uses an active ingredient called Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) that is applied to your face and neck to reveal a fresh, even layer of skin. This procedure typically takes less than an hour, and may require follow-up sessions to get the best result.
Vascutouch uses a low electric current to treat vascular lesions and broken capillaries. Blood vessels are either coagulated or clotted to stop blood flow to the lesion or capillaries, allowing them to be absorbed into the body naturally.
Permanent makeup, also referred to as intradermal pigmentation, is a safe and medically proven way to improve on skin flaws or for cosmetic enhancements such as permanent lip color, eyeliner or eyebrows. Many people do not realize that permanent makeup can be used to cover unsightly imperfections in the skin such as scars, stretch marks, birthmarks, and more. If you desire to use permanent makeup for lip color or eyes, you have a wide array of colors to choose from, ranging from a natural tone to something more dramatic!

Camouflage makeup:Bruising and redness are normal occurrences after plastic surgery procedures. As you return to your everyday life after surgery, sometimes it is necessary to temporarily cover these areas that cannot be hidden with normal foundation. Our camouflage makeup is specially designed to cover bruising and redness after surgery, allowing you to go about your daily activities without drawing attention to the areas that are still healing.
Thermage is a fast and effective way to tighten your skin and bring back youthful contours to your face. Thermage technology works to stimulate collagen growth underneath your skin, not just tighten the top layer. This procedure is quick and requires no downtime after the procedure, so you can continue your daily activities almost immediately!
