Dermal fillers are non-surgical treatments used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Restylane is a popular brand of dermal fillers that uses hyaluronic acid. It is commonly used to treat areas like the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds (smile lines). The results from Restylane are immediate, providing a natural, youthful appearance with minimal downtime. Depending on the specific Restylane product used, such as Lyft, Refyne, or Kysse, the effects can last from several months to over a year. With proper maintenance, Restylane can help maintain a refreshed and rejuvenated look.

Neurotoxins, such as Botox, and Dysport, are injectable treatments that temporarily relax the muscles responsible for wrinkles and fine lines, particularly around the forehead, eyes, and mouth. These treatments work by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin. The effects are typically visible within a few days and can last for three to six months, depending on the individual and the area treated. Neurotoxins are popular for their non-invasive nature, minimal downtime, and ability to improve facial appearance without surgery.

Sculptra Aesthetic is an FDA-approved dermal filler made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable substance that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually, offering subtle and natural-looking improvements in skin texture and volume over time. It is commonly used to treat areas of facial volume loss, such as the cheeks, temples, and jawline. The results typically develop over several months and can last up to two years, making it a popular option for long-lasting, non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
-
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a "double chin." It contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the targeted area under the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness and a more contoured jawline. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results, with improvements visible within a few weeks after treatment. Kybella provides a non-surgical solution to improve the appearance of a double chin with minimal downtime.
-
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses tiny, fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These small punctures stimulate the body's natural healing process and boost collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Microneedling is commonly used to improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and stretch marks. The treatment is relatively quick, with minimal downtime, and results typically appear over several weeks as the skin regenerates. It's a popular option for those seeking non-surgical skin rejuvenation.
-
Chemical peels are a popular skincare treatment that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and remove damaged outer layers. This process stimulates new skin growth, improving texture, tone, and overall appearance. Chemical peels are effective in treating acne scars, fine lines, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. They come in different strengths, from mild to deep, allowing for customized treatments based on skin type and concerns. With minimal downtime, chemical peels are a great choice for those seeking a non-invasive solution to achieve smoother, healthier, and more youthful-looking skin.
-
Latisse is an FDA-approved prescription treatment used to enhance eyelash growth, making them longer, thicker, and darker. The active ingredient, bimatoprost, works by stimulating hair follicles and prolonging the growth phase of the lashes. Results are typically visible within 4 to 6 weeks of consistent nightly application, with full results appearing after 16 weeks. Latisse is an easy-to-use solution for those looking to achieve fuller lashes without the need for extensions or mascara. It is a safe and effective treatment when used as directed under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

Hair loss, or alopecia, is a condition where hair thinning or shedding occurs, affecting both men and women. It can be caused by factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, stress, or poor nutrition. Common types of hair loss include:
Androgenetic Alopecia: Also known as male or female pattern baldness, this is the most common type, caused by genetic factors and hormones.
Telogen Effluvium: A temporary shedding of hair, often triggered by stress, illness, or medication.
Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks hair follicles, leading to small, round patches of hair loss.
Traction Alopecia: Hair loss caused by tension on the hair, often from tight hairstyles like ponytails or braids.
Treatment options vary based on the cause and may include medications, topical treatments, or hair restoration procedures.

Here at the Dermatology Center we offer custom compounded medications for a variety of hair loss conditions, including mesotherapy - a non-surgical treatment option involving micro-injections of a solution with minoxidil and/or dutasteride directly into the scalp. Our advanced injectables are designed to stimulate hair growth and restore your natural look.

PRFM (Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix) takes the power of platelets and adds a scaffolding to preserve and protect the platelets. When mixed with just the right amount of calcium chloride, PRP is converted to a fibrin matrix. This fibrin matrix creates a three dimensional scaffold to maintain the platelets at the site of application and allows for sustained growth factor release. Studies show that platelet growth factors are released for up to seven days, supporting collagen production and increased blood supply, which results in overall skin improvements- particularly improvement with laxity, texture, tone, sun damage, wrinkles/fine lines, scarring, and pore size appearance.
