Spring is the perfect time to start laser hair removal. The treatment usually takes a series of appointments spaced out over a few weeks, so if you start the procedure now you will be done in time for bikini season! While people might like the sound of laser hair removal, there are always questions, like is it safe? Is it effective? We’ll address some of those questions here.

Botox is a simple and effective way to fight the appearance of wrinkles, especially around the eyes, between the eyebrows, and along the forehead. Laser facials are another effective way to combat the appearance of aging. So which is right for you- which one should you consider?
We’re giving away free Botox treatments on Wednesdays through the month of June, and so we’re focusing on the ins and out of Botox injections on the blog. So how do you know if you should get Botox? Here are a few ways to tell that the treatment is right for you:
We’re all familiar with the traditional facial. You go to a spa and they use scented lotions and creams to cleanse and moisturize your face. There might be a massage. You leave feeling relaxed and looking more refreshed- but do the results last long?
A laser facial is different. It utilizes laser technology in your plastic surgeon or esthetician’s office. The technology targets imperfections in the skin that creams and lotions cannot fix- issues like sun damage, acne scarring, freckles, large pores, and more. Laser facials target these specific issues, and can usually be done in under an hour.
Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to fill in depressions in the face. These depressions can be deep wrinkles and folds (like the ones you get from the corner of your nose to the lips), pitted acne scars or other scars, crows feet, sunken cheeks, or thin lips.

Dermal fillers are injectable solutions that are used to fill in sunken areas on the face, or to plump up problem areas. For example, you can use dermal fillers to plump up wrinkles or expression lines, to increase the volume of the lips, and to increase the volume of cheeks that have become sunken as we age.
There are several different kinds of dermal fillers, all designed to meet a specific need. Here’s a round-up of some of the most commonly used dermal fillers:
Laser resurfacing is just one of the non-surgical procedures we offer to combat the signs of aging. It is an option for patients who want to rejuvenate their skin, remove fine lines and wrinkles, treat blemishes, acne, and skin discoloration- all without having to hide unsightly scarring.
There are two forms of laser skin resurfacing: ablative and non-ablative. An ablative laser treatment removes the surface layers of skin, exposing the newer and less blemished skin underneath. Non-ablative lasers stimulate the growth of collagen, which is the protein that gives our skin firmness. This tightens the skin and gives you a more youthful look.

Botox is the trade name for a cosmetic substance that includes the neurotoxin botulinum. In large and uncontrolled amounts, this toxin can cause botulism, a form of food poisoning. However, in small and controlled doses used by cosmetic surgeons, it can soften the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles, and prevent them from worsening.
With summer approaching, we will all be out and about more. Springtime is the perfect time to start revitalizing your skin after a long, cold, and dry winter- you’ll look your best just in time for the summer parties!
Laser resurfacing is one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate your skin without the incisions of a surgical procedure. The precision of the laser allows the surgeon to set the exact depth you need to remove fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, age spots, or other imperfections. Once the damaged skin is removed, younger, healthier skin is exposed and regenerated.
