Non-Surgical Procedures
Many women and men would like to have smoother, more youthful looking skin, but simply don’t have the time or the money to invest in surgical procedures. In many cases, the early signs of aging can be very effectively managed with less dramatic measures, which require little to no discomfort and downtime. BOTOX® Cosmetic and injectable dermal fillers have become staples in the skin care regimens of celebrities and everyday women, as they offer noticeable, long-lasting results with minimal inconvenience. Unlike superficial treatments such as creams and scrubs, these treatments penetrate to the deeper layers of the skin, and provide visible results that are either immediate (dermal fillers) or emerge over a few days (BOTOX®). These treatments make skin appear firmer, smoother and more vibrant for a period of several months to a year, making them an excellent option for your busy lifestyle.

Medical Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, mechanical means of reducing fine lines, age spots, and skin discoloration. It is applicable for all skin types, and can be done without disruption of normal activities. Microdermabrasion treatments stimulate the production of collagen and new skin cells while gently removing the unwanted top skin cells leaving your skin feeling soft, supple, and fresh. It is delivered often in a package of series of six treatments (every 2 weeks) for most efficacy and can be combined with other treatments for synergistic effects. Adding Ultrasound to microdermabrasion allows for therapeutic ingredients to be absorbed right onto the skin, resulting in an even more radiant glow. An individual program that is right for you can be tailored to fit your needs.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels involve using various solutions to peel away the top layers of the skin, thereby, revealing the underlying, undamaged fresher and smoother skin. Improvement in facial blemishes, wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation can be seen. Depending on the strength and the peeling agent used, recovery times vary. Several different types of peels are offered ranging from light glycolic acid peels with minimal recovery to stronger more effective trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels that takes longer to heal. Chemical peels are generally safe, but as with any medical procedure, they have some potential risks and complications that will be discussed with you thoroughly. MCM Resurfix™ treatment program created by Dr. Nancy Chung is especially effective for first time patients and delivers superior results.
