Revitalize Your Whole Body

We’ve curated aesthetic services that go beyond the surface, targeting your whole body. IPL and dual-frequency RF can address several skin concerns while prioritizing your comfort, allowing us to tailor treatments to your specific needs.

The result? A more radiant you, both inside and out. Your wellness is our priority, and we’re here to nurture it.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy

IPL therapy is a noninvasive treatment using targeted light energy that can reduce the look of:

  • Age spots and sun damage
  • Spider veins
  • Unwanted hair, particularly on the face and underarms
  • Wrinkles and fine lines

It does this by targeting and breaking up dark pigments such as melanin and hemoglobin in the skin, promoting cellular turnover and collagen production for a smoother, more even complexion.

Dual Radiofrequency

OptiPLUS is an FDA-cleared dual-frequency RF technology that provides facial sculpting and body contouring.

This innovative system delivers targeted heat to various tissue depths and works on specific areas, including: 

  • Face
  • Lower neck
  • Abs
  • Hips
  • Thighs
  • Legs
  • Arms

It promotes collagen formation and increases blood circulation, resulting in firmer and tighter skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

What is the best treatment for my skin?

The best laser treatment depends on your skin type, along with your skin goals.

 

How effective is the treatment?

You may see results in as little as 3 weeks, but the most dramatic results often occur within 2 months of treatment.

 

How much downtime is required?

The amount of downtime varies depending on the type of treatment. You may experience side effects such as redness, swelling, and tightness.

 

How should I care for my skin after treatment?

You should avoid retinoid, glycolic, salicylic, and lactic acid post-treatment. Alcohol and smoking should also be avoided.

 

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments you will need depends on your goals and what you decide with your clinician during consultation. Most of our patients are seen for 4–6 sessions to achieve optimal results. 

 

Who will perform my laser treatment?

Our licensed nurse practitioner.

 

Who is not a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing?

People with active acne, darker skin tones, deep wrinkles, and excessive or sagging skin. However, it is always best to consult with us to determine if you are a good candidate.

 

How does laser stimulate collagen?

The laser heats the underlying skin layers, called the dermis, stimulating collagen production. It targets direct energy to the skin’s deep layers, creating micro-injuries that trigger natural healing to increase collagen generation, helping achieve firmer skin and diminished wrinkles.

 

What is the best facial to boost collagen production?

Microneedling creates small superficial wounds in the skin, tricking the body into producing high levels of collagen to assist in healing, making it a great facial option.

Who is it for?

Trilift can be a great option for people who want to improve their appearance without surgery or injections.

 

What does it target?

It can help with sagging skin, including weak facial muscles and loss of definition around the cheeks and jawline.

 

What can I expect after treatment?

Patients have been thrilled to see and feel immediate results, with optimal results typically seen after a series of treatments. You may experience some redness or swelling, which can last up to a few days. You may also notice minor scabing that will heal on its own.

 

How long does the treatment take?

Typically, 30–45 minutes with or without topical anesthesia.

 

Is there any downtime?

There is typically no downtime, allowing you to return to normal activities! However, it is recommended that you avoid harsh skin care products for a short period of time to allow your skin to heal, keep it hydrated, and protect it from the sun.

 

Who should not get TriLift?

Those with pacemakers, defibrillators or other implanted electronic devices, or metal implants in the area of treatment.

 

What are the risks?

Although uncommon, there is a small risk of damage to the skin textures or noticing redness, swelling, bruising, and itching.

 

How often are treatments?

We recommend sessions being 1–2 weeks apart to allow the skin sufficient time to recover. Maintenance sessions are encouraged every 6–12 months.

 

Long-term care management?

Following a consistent, gentle skincare routine focused on duration nourishment helps support the skin’s natural regeneration.

How many treatments will I need?

Generally 2–4 sessions, one every 7–14 days.

 

What is the recovery after RF?

You may experience some pinkness in the treatment area that can last for 15–30 minutes. Patients should increase water intake on the day of and the day after treatment, along with light exercise, such as walking, to enhance results.

 

Is treatment comfortable?

NuEra uses radiofrequency energy to target the deepest layers of the skin, but it is noninvasive. Although you may feel a warming sensation as the energy penetrates the skin, you should be comfortable throughout your treatments.

 

Any downtime with the RF?

RF typically requires no downtime. You can do this treatment over your lunch and return to your normal routine after a short treatment session.

 

Is NuEra only for aging skin concerns?

NuEra is highly effective in treating sagging skin and wrinkles. It is also ideal for patients with cellulite, rough skin texture, and other non-age-related skin conditions.

 

How long will my results last?

Due to causing changes deep within the skin’s structure, results typically won’t develop right away. However they also won’t diminish quickly either. Increased collagen production on the skin can mean smoother, tighter skin for months and even years to come. Schedule annual maintenance treatment to keep your skin looking new.
