Concern: Sunspots, Redness/Flushing, and Other Sun Damage

Solution: Photorejuvenation (IPL)

• How It Works: Photorejuvenation with targets and breaks down sunspots and pigmentation while shrinking dilated blood vessels linked to flushing and rosacea. Over 3–5 sessions, skin tone visibly evens out.
• Time: 15–45 minutes (depending on the area)
• Downtime/Discomfort: Brown spots may darken before fading over 7 days; discomfort level is about 2/5.

Concern: Looking Stressed or Upset (Forehead Wrinkles and Frown Lines)

Solution: BOTOX Cosmetic®

• How It Works: Tiny amounts of Botox Cosmetic®. are injected to relax the muscles that create lines in the forehead and around the eyes. It can also help reduce chin dimpling and frowning.
• Time: Around 30-45 minutes
• Downtime/Discomfort: None; discomfort level is about 1/5.

Concern: Looking Tired (Under-Eye Hollows or Bags).

Solution: JUVÉDERM Dermal Filler*

• How It Works: JUVÉDERM A sugar-based gel (hyaluronic acid) is injected beneath the skin around the eyes, cheeks, nose, or mouth to restore volume and smooth lines, helping you appear more rested.
• Time: 30–60 minutes
• Downtime/Discomfort: Bruising and swelling can occur; discomfort is typically 2–4/10 with numbing gel applied.

*JUVÉDERM Dermal Filler is also used in other areas of the face such as improving the definition of the jaw line and chin.

Concern: Skin Laxity, Lines, Acne Scars, and Red Tones

Solution: The Secret^RF

• How It Works: With The Secret ^RF tiny needles deliver radiofrequency energy into the skin’s deeper layers, stimulating new collagen and elastin. This series of 3–4 sessions helps firm skin, reduce lines, and improve overall elasticity and tone.
• Time: Each session typically takes 45–60 minutes
• Downtime/Discomfort: Minimal downtime of about 1–2 days; numbing cream greatly reduces discomfort.

Concern: Leathery Skin and Acne Scars

Solution: The SmartXide DOT Fractional Resurfacing

• How It Works: With The SmartXide DOT fractional resurfacing heat is delivered through tiny channels (DOTs), vaporizing old collagen and triggering new collagen production. This is especially helpful for sun damage, deeper wrinkles, scarring and sagging around the eyes.
• Time: Approximately 60 minutes
• Downtime/Discomfort: 5–7 days of healing until fresh skin appears; discomfort is about 3–4/5, with numbing cream applied for an hour beforehand. While more intense, it can achieve significant improvements in skin texture and scarring.

Concern: Stubborn Body Fat

Solution: CoolSculpting®

·       How It Works: When the gym and eating choices are not doing enough or you’ve had enough consider CoolSculpting®. By selectively freezing fat cells rather than skin and other tissues, improvements of 20-25% fat reduction are typical for approved areas:

o   Abdomen- upper and lower

o   Flank/back

o   Chest

o   Under the chin

·       Time: The procedure time is based on size of the area(s) to be treated. 90-180 minutes is the minimum time needed for a larger area.

·       Downtime/Discomfort: Discomfort and recovery are minimal. 2 session per area are usual.
