The Detox 

Not quite like a spa facial, the Detox is a medical grade treatment for anyone suffering from blocked pores, blackheads, milia and in need of a good deep clean.  After cleansing, exfoliating, and prepping the skin, Dr Alexis will do extractions as needed, then get your skin rebalanced and hydrated. 

Problem

Collagen Induction Therapy/ Microneedling

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.

​

For more information, please review Dr Alexis' "Informed Consent and Instructions" for Microneedling

Problem

Fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, rough texture, mild laxity, hyper-pigmentation and age spots, mild nonpustular rosacea, hypertrophic surgical scars older than six months, thinning hair

Time

30-60 minutes per session.  

4-6 sessions spaced out 6-8 weeks for most indications.

Sorry...

Not for anyone with bleeding disorders, active infections, collagen vascular disease, history of keloid scar formation, especially on the palms/soles.

Cost

$350-450

​

Post-procedure serums available at a discount with all microneedling sessions

Microinfusion/Microtox

Microinfusion is a form of mesotherapy in which twenty 24-K gold microneedles create 600 micron deep microchannels in the skin.  Using a stamping motion, we can get effective penetration of a personalized elixir of skin-boosting vitamins and serums right into the epidermis.  The addition of neurotoxin (like Botox, hence the name "Microtox") helps shrinks pores, decrease sebum production, and allow for relaxation (without full paralysis) of superficial facial muscles.  We can even target those hard to treat areas, namely under the eyes on that delicate periorbital skin and around the lips.  Best of all: no pain and virtually no downtime! You'll be glowing as you walk out the door. 

​

Options: (both include cleansing, toning, prepping, and facial massage, followed by application of approved SPF)

*Gold Cocktail: Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, as indicated by your skin's needs

*Microtox: add in neurotoxin and/or HA filler

​

(P. S. Compared to Microneedling, a Microinfusion is faster and "easier"with less downtime, but will not target deeper lines and acne scars as effectively.)

​

For more infomation, please review Dr Alexis' "Informed Consent and Instructions for MicroInfusion"

Problem

Fine lines, rough texture, oily skin, large pores, hyper-pigmentation, need an overall pick-me-up

Time

30 minutes per session. 

Neurotoxin effect will wear off in 3-6 months

Either treatment can be repeated every 4-6 weeks.

Sorry...

Not for anyone with bleeding disorders, active infections, collagen vascular disease, history of keloid scar formation, especially on the palms/soles.

Botox Cosmetic

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. 

Problem

Fine lines and wrinkles of the frontalis (forehead), the glabella (furrowed brows or the 11's), and the orbicularis oculi (the crow's feet).  Other "off-label" uses can be discussed. 

Time

15-30 minutes per session.  

More than one session may be required.

​

Typically, treatment will need to be repeated in 3-6 months

Axillary Hyperhidrosis Therapy

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.

Excessive underarm sweating, not responsive to topical treatments

Time

30 minutes per session

Effects can last between 4 to 12 months

Sorry...

Not for those with bleeding or clotting disorders, active infections, collagen vascular disease, allergies to Botox or other neurotoxins.

LED Light Therapy

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, microneedling, Detox/extractions.) 

Problem

Acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, inflammation, scarring, poor tone, impaired wound healing

Time

20 minutes per session (Light Therapy alone)

or 

+10-20 minutes (if add on to another treatment)

​

Best effects are seen after 10 sessions, spaced every week

Sorry...

Not for those on Accutane or other oral Vit A based medications; prior sensitivity to LED light therapy

Cost
