Acne is a persistent and multi-factorial problem. The causes of acne include such issues as excess sebum (oil) production in the skin, hyper-keratosis (excess growth of skin cells), inflammation, and bacterial presence. Using a series of facials, each of these factors is addressed. Moderate non-irritating exfoliation begins the process. This is followed by the application of specialized ingredients to slow down the production of the oil in your skin and the cellular turnover in specific areas of the skin. This treatment is performed by a licensed nurse with many years' experience in the treatment of acne. For those with severe and persistent cystic acne, she will use cortisone injections or add a series of Acne Blue Light treatments for the complete suppression of acne flare-ups.

Years of exposure to the sun causes early aging and abnormal skin pigmentation. The FotoFacial procedure treats sun-damaged skin by fading age and sun spots and lessening wrinkles. FotoFacial is the treatment of choice for dilated or broken capillaries, uneven skin tones and rosacea.
What is it?
FotoFacial RF is a major advance in non-surgical, non-invasive treatment of aged skin and wrinkles. The FotoFacial RF procedure is a series of at least 5 treatments using the patented Aurora device. The Aurora delivers a burst of Intense Pulsed Light combined with a low-intensity electrical pulse of radiofrequency energy. FotoFacial RF was co-developed by Patrick Bitter, Jr., MD, a California dermatologist and Stephen Mulholland, MD, a Toronto-based plastic surgeon. Their research shows that the FotoFacial RF procedure diminishes the appearance of fine lines by an average of 60%, twice the improvement seen with other non-invasive light and non-ablative laser-based treatments.
How does it work?
FotoFacial RF heats pigmented areas and dilated blood vessels, causing them to fade gradually over time. It also stimulates the skin to produce new collagen, the protein that maintains skin firmness. New collagen lessens wrinkles and scars, smoothes the skin surface, shrinks dilated pores and tightens loose skin.
What can I expect?
FotoFacial RF treatments are scheduled in 3-4 week intervals. Full treatment generally requires at least five appointments. After each treatment, you can resume your regular activities.

The ReFirme tightening procedure features revolutionary technology that enables you to comfortably achieve a more youthful, tightened and lifted appearance without enduring downtime. This is the first and only technology that uses combined energy to effectively and gently tighten your skin.
How does ReFirme Work?
The combined bipolar radio frequency and light energy of ELOS Technology precisely heats the dermal tissue within the target treatment area. This stimulates collagen production and produces a firming effect in lax skin. Fine wrinkles are reduced, noticeable lifting can be observed, and the texture of your skin becomes more smooth and elastic.
Choosing a solution for the treatment of wrinkles was once a confusing and difficult decision. Elos by Syneron uses new revolutionary technology for the treatment of wrinkles. The combination of laser light and RF energy reaches the surface and deep dermal levels, treating both superficial and deep wrinkles. Best results when combined with FotoFacial RF.
For the treatment of facial capillaries, spider veins, or areas with matted veins, we use laser technology combined with RF energy. The light impacts the vessel and coagulates the blood, effectively shutting down the vessel.
The laser is harmless to the rest of the skin. More than one treatment may be required for certain veins.

Hormone replacement therapy (HTR) is a common treatment for women going through menopause or experiencing the symptoms associated with menopause. Slowed metabolism, hot flashes, mood swings, memory loss, low libido and aging are all reasons a doctor may prescribe hormone replacement therapy. A more natural method of treatment, called bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), is becoming increasingly popular among doctors and patients alike.
Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are made to have the identical molecular structure of the hormones made by your own body, so your body can metabolize them as it was designed to do, minimizing side effects. Additionally, as opposed to the general, mass-produced synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are individually matched to each woman's specific hormonal needs. Synthetic hormones can cause serious side effects and are only available as a generic hormone replacement.
Although bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is not FDA approved, many of the hormones used have been individually approved. This treatment has been used in clinical trials for over 20 years and is considered a generally safe procedure that offers women more specialized, effective treatment for their troubling menopause symptoms.
However, there are certain risks associated with BHTR. Some of these risks include an increased chance of developing certain cancers, breast pain, nausea and mood swings.
