Treatments

Advancements in science and development of new treatments provide a greater breadth of options to counter the visible signs of aging. Non-invasive treatments are now available that can be administered in a visit to the doctor and result in no down time afterwards. The effectiveness of each treatment will vary and it is important to discuss your expectations with your doctor. To keep informed of new treatments, sign up for our newsletter.

Facial rejuvenation treatments can be classified in three categories:

Resurfacing, which changes the surface of the skin;
Injectables, which can fill lines, smooth wrinkles, and replace collagen, as well as "relax" overactive muscles; and
Surgery, which can lift sagging skin, remove excess fat, and fill hollows.
