When I first went to Sharon I had just underwent a dermalogical procedure that left a nasty scar on my cheek. Sharon examined my scar and skin condition. She offered honest recommendations. I had a series of microdermabrasions that helped the scar and improved my skin tone. She recommended skin products that have been beneficial to my skin. She responds to my questions with helpful advise and I never feel pressured. Great job and thank you Sharon.

Botox®
Botox ®Cosmetic has been used for decades to dramatically reduce unwanted facial lines. It is a purified protein that has been scientifically tested extensively for safe and effective use on the human body for numerous medical conditions. As an aesthetic tool for facial enhancement, it works by blocking the nerve impulse from reaching the target area, and as a result the muscle weakens.. As the muscle begins to relax, the wrinkles gradually soften, and then disappear. Botox® can alleviate such areas as the crow’s feet around the eyes, vertical lines of the upper lip, expression lines on the forehead, dimpling of the chin, and lines at the corners of the mouth. Another use is to create a brow lift by raising the lateral corner of the eyebrows. Treatment entails injecting a small quantity of serum with a very small needle into each site where you would like to see improvement. You will experience mild discomfort, and if you are ultra sensitive a topical anesthetic can be made available for you. Typically, full results are visible in 7 to 10 days. These injections are safe, and the only possible side effects are temporary and would apply only to the injection site. We use the Botox® Cosmetic recommended dosage of administration for optimal results. We recommend repeat treatment every 3 to 4 months for the first year. After that, regular maintenance visits vary for each individual. We do not recommend treatment if you are pregnant, or have a neurological disorder.
Restylane® & Juvederm
Dermal Fillers are an FDA approved facial enhancing substance containing a non-animal, synthetic form of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies. This product is used to custom tailor the face by means of artistic facial sculpting. As the natural aging process occurs, there is a significant decrease in the production of hyaluronic acid in our cells. Hyaluronic acid attracts water, and water hydrates and plumps our skin. Thus, we develop wrinkles, folds, and loss of fullness in the contour of our face. The clear jellylike substance is injected in small amounts with an extremely fine needle. You will see immediate results, and continue to see the optimal effect for up to two weeks. As the hyaluronic acid continues to attract water, it is adding volume to the area in which it was injected. The wrinkles or folds are pushed up, and smoothed out. This is the treatment of choice for those with smile lines, worry lines, or for full plump lips. You will experience mild to moderate discomfort, and a topical and/or injectible anesthetic block can be made available to you. To return to a more youthful and appealing reflection in the mirror, this is what you’ve been waiting for.
Microdermabrasion
For those wanting to uncover healthy beautiful skin, and regain that natural glow, this is what your skin has been waiting for. This is commonly performed on the face, neck, and décolleté; however other areas can be treated. As sand like beads glide over your skin with a tubular handpiece supercharged with reverse air pressure, the dry dead skin layers, and impurities are then gently suctioned away. Medical microdermabrasion is the perfect choice for those with uneven skin texture, clogged pores, mild to moderate acne, mild scarring, fine lines & wrinkles, and dull dry skin. Your skin will feel refined, balanced, and new cell growth will be activated. With each microdermabrasion treatment, you will receive a medical grade chemical peel that addresses your specific need, and an Oxymist treatment. Oxymist is pure oxygen supercharged with the exclusive Aminoplex formula. This is a highly advanced blend of trace minerals and building blocks of RNA & DNA. The cool oxygen is gently misted over your skin, revitalizing, healing, and rejuvenating. An Oxymist treatment is the perfect finale to any treatment. Upon completion of your treatment, your skin is glowing. This treatment requires no healing time and you can even visit us on your lunch hour. A series of 6 treatments at one to two week intervals is recommended for optimal results. Regular maintenance visits after that are recommended, and the frequency will vary for each individual.
SWEDISH MASSAGE
A full-body massage using various techniques such as effleurage, petrissage, friction, and tapoment. These techniques are used to release toxins from the muscles and to increase the oxygen level in the blood causing you to feel more relaxed, eliminate soreness of muscles, and increase circulation.
HOT STONE MASSAGE
Using oil and heated stones to massage and work the muscles, you will feel relaxed while your aches and pains are relieved. The heat has a sedative effect on the nervous system causing a calming sensation of the body and mind.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
This type of massage is often used to release chronic muscle tension by using slower strokes and deeper pressure, while going across the grain of the muscle. Deep tissue massage will release deeply held patterns of tension, remove toxins, and relax muscles. Although, you may feel some soreness during or after the session., you will feel better after a day or two.
FOOT REFLEXOLOGY
A relaxing foot massage, working specific areas to promote healing and relieve stress in other parts of the body, while restoring the body’s natural balance.
IPL Photofacial
This is quite possibly the most common and useful cosmetic procedure available without any down time, minimal discomfort and a high level of patient satisfaction. This treatment utilizes a non-laser medical device that delivers gentle pulses of visible light onto the surface of your skin. This treatment provides gradual, natural improvement for rosacea, uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles, redness due to sensitivity, broken capillaries, sun damaged skin, and acne. If you feel you are especially sensitive, a topical anesthetic ointment can be made available to you. Due to the simplicity of this treatment, you can resume your normal activities right away. The only side effect of this treatment is mild to moderate flushing of the skin which subsides within a very short time. These treatments can be administered to all areas of the skin. A foundation of 6 treatments at two week intervals is recommended for optimal results. We do not recommend this treatment for patients who have a history of keloid formation, have active infections or lesions in the treatment area, or who are taking an oral isotretinoin, or Accutane.
Chemical Peels
Everybody has different needs when it comes to their skin. Chemical peels are an integral part of a healthy skincare regimen for all skin types. These peels can be done alone, or in combination with microdermabrasion. Chemical peels are high in antioxidants (which fight against free radicals that age our skin), vitamins, and soothing herbal complexes for treatment and renewal. Chemical peels work by dissolving the dead skin layers that create a barrier on top of our skin. This barrier prevents nourishing products to penetrate, causes clogged pores, and the result is dull, dry, lifeless skin. Chemical peels penetrate the surface of the skin to work on an internal level causing activity within the cells to generate collagen and elastin. We use the finest chemical peels available in the medical aesthetic industry. We have the peel that is right for you whether you have ultra sensitive skin, resistant acne and every need in between. A chemical peel can address issues such as acne, dull dry skin, uneven skin tone & texture, sun damage, age spots, fine lines & wrinkles, and lack of elasticity in the skin. Chemical peels are done at one to two week intervals depending on each individuals needs, and can be done for as long as you would like beautiful skin!
Laser Hair Reduction
We are excited to boast about the most state of the art effective laser for hair removal on all skin types. Our laser is proven effective for the best results you can experience in hair removal. Laser hair removal is for anyone with unwanted hair on virtually any area of the body. This advanced treatment involves minimal discomfort, and no downtime. It provides lasting results, and gives you the confidence of a well manicured appearance in any situation. Every inch of skin on the face alone contains approximately 3200 follicles per inch. Gladly, not all of the follicles produce hair; however excessive hair growth can be bothersome for so many. Laser light specifically calibrated for each individual seamlessly travels along the visible hairs that act as conductors. These conductors lead the light to the follicle, and the heat of the laser disables the hair producing bulb of the follicle. Our laser possesses the versatility to treat an area as small as the bridge of your nose, and as large as your back. You will rest comfortably as the laser light accompanied by a cool stream of air glide simultaneously across your skin. We recommend a foundation of 6 treatments. An effective treatment requires treating the hair in the vulnerable anagen (growth) stage of the hair cycle, so the frequency of treatment will be determined individually. Typically visits are spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. We do not recommend laser hair removal for those who have a history of keloid scarring, an active infection, or very recent mechanical or chemical epilation.
Oxymist ® Oxygen for the Skin
Your skin is the largest organ of your body. The normal aging process depletes the amount of oxygen in our skin. Loss of oxygen in our skin causes fine lines & wrinkles, and the appearance can be dull and lifeless. Whether you have just had a procedure done, or you would like to treat your skin, an Oxymist® is vital for healthy looking skin. Our oxygen treatment contains the exclusive Aminoplex ® formula. This formula consists of over 100 ingredients containing amino acids, trace minerals, electrolytes, building blocks of RNA and DNA, and micellized vitamin E. The oxygen stimulates collagen growth, destroys bacteria, improves blood flow, and delivers exceptional healing qualities. In fact, skin treated with Oxymist® heals three times faster than without. Your skin will look vibrant, refreshed, and revitalized, and it feels wonderful to have an Oxymist ®! We recommend Oxymist® anytime your skin needs a boost of vitality!
