Also known as Microneedling, CIT is an effective way to improve texture by inducing new collagen and elastin formation in the dermis.  Thousands of tiny skin punctures allow for deep penetration of growth factor serums and hyaluronic acid, a major component of the dermal extracellular matrix.  Safer and more effective than what can be accomplished with a rolling needle device, the MDPen Microneedle system has adjustable and consistent depth and the most powerful motor on the market.  The procedure is done in a sterile fashion to reduce the risk of infection and inflammation that will impede the formation of new collagen.  Microneedling sessions in a medical setting are far more effective than home needle rollers which are dull, not sterile, and give unpredictable skin puncture depth.

Fine lines and wrinkles can be improved with careful injection of the botulinum a toxin which causes temporary paralysis of the injected facial muscles.  With some planning and consideration of the areas of maximal muscle contraction, we can reduce the appearance of wrinkles while allowing you to maintain your natural facial expressions and personality.  For more information, review: Informed Consent and Post-injection Instructions.

Excessive underarm sweating: ruined shirts, uncomfortable events, anxiety about lifting your arms, sticky antiperspirants.  There is nothing good about it!  Luckily, there is actually a safe and effective way to block the production of sweat from the apocrine glands in the skin of the underarm area: Botox.

NASA is responsible for more than TANG, moon landings, and space exploration: they developed LED lights to grow plants in space, and now we use that technology for skinhealth! LED light in specific wavelengths can treat acne, diminish inflammation, and reduce signs of aging. It can promote healing and reduce pain, as well. Thank you, Science! It is non-invasive and there is no downtime. It can be a stand alone treatment or an add-on treatment after certain in-office procedures (superficial peels or microneedling.)
