LASER HAIR REMOVAL:
Forget about shaving, tweezing, or waxing. The laser targets hair follicles and heats with infrared energy. Our system employs a unique computer-guided scanning system that automates the treatment, ensuring that your skin is rapidly and evenly treated. The procedure is safe, fast, and effective. You may need to be treated from 4-6 times at six-week intervals. Great for underarms, bikini area, legs or backs.
FRAXEL RE:STORE:
Safe and gradual laser procedure that stimulates the body to replace aged and photodamaged skin. To date, there have been two categories of laser skin rejuvenation: ablative and nonablative. Ablative techniques resurface broad areas of the skin and can offer significant clinical improvement; however, they are associated with significant post-treatment recovery. On the other hand, nonablative techniques require virtually no downtime, but can be limited by inconsistent clinical improvements depending on the condition treated. The Fraxel laser is a novel device that can provide the positive results of ablative resurfacing using a non-invasive technique with little downtime. Excellent for skin tone, lines and wrinkles, as well as both acne and surgical scarring. Treatments are typically spaced every 2 weeks, with four treatments a typical course.
LASER MICROPEEL:
Best for wrinkles, acne scars, keratosis, skin texture or pigmentary problems, the intra-epidermal laser peel precisely ablates the outermost layers of the skin allowing regeneration of new skin cells. The Laser MicroPeel is a partial to full-thickness epidermal peel (20-40 microns) which ablates deep into the epidermis. The procedure may be repeated 2-4 times, spaced 6-8 weeks apart.
ERBIUM YAG RESURFACING:
Not ready for a full or partial face lift? This resurfacing is used in patients with deep wrinkles and furrows in order to achieve that smooth result of younger, thicker and healthier skin. Ask Dr. Turner for before and after photographs to see the dramatic results.
LASER TATTOO REMOVAL:
We offer laser tattoo removal which is excellent at removing virtually every color of tattoo pigment. Most patients can expect 5-8 treatments to achieve the desire results. If you have tattoo makeup, typically only 1-2 treatments are required for this type of tattoo pigment. Consult with Dr. Turner on pricing as it varies based on the size of the tattoo.
LASER REJUVENATION:
Photorejuvenation
Broadband light brings a new approach to photorejuvenation. This innovative technology sets new standards for the treatment of skin conditions associated with aging, pigmentation, and sun-damage skin. Broadband light energy treats fine wrinkles, age and sun spots, small facial veins and other skin blemishes. Great for rosacea, redness, flushing, freckles, birth marks, hemangiomas, enlarged pores, poikiloderma and hyperpigmentation, your treatment will be tailored to match your skin’s condition.
Photodynamic therapy
A special procedure performed with a topical photosensitizing agent Levulan. The treatment has a unique ability to target sebaceous glands and effectively treats stubborn acne and rosacea. Approved by the FDA for the treatment of pre-cancerous actinic keratosis, it also improves pigmentation, skin tone and texture. A great alternative to systemic Accutane.
Facial and leg veins
This may be used as an alternative or in conjunction with traditional solutions such as sclerotherapy. The laser energy is delivered in a series of pulses. Absorption of laser energy occurs within the vein, and the heat generated by absorption of laser energy collapses the vessel wall and results in complete vessel closure. Best results are achieved with multiple treatments.
Skin Tightening:
Non-surgical procedure which uses an infrared light source to tighten the skin by stimulating the rebuilding of collagen. Optimal results are usually obtained by having three to five treatments spaced one month apart.
Botox:
Very tiny amounts of botulinum are injected into specific facial muscles to relax the underlying cause of wrinkles associated with expression, particularly forehead creases, furrows between the eyebrows and crow’s feet.
Lipodissolve:
This injectable with absolutely no recovery time away from work or personal life was designed to treat problem areas such as the abdomen, love handles or thighs. Despite diet and exercise, sometimes patients are left with fullness in areas which can be eliminated permanently with this bile acid salt which is naturally found in our body and used for digestion of fats. Once the Lipodissolve is taken up into the fat cells, your body reabsorbs it into the digestive tract and it is excreted naturally. Expect 3-5 treatments per area treated.
Fillers:
Juvéderm, Restylane (Hyaluronic acid)
Made from the basic element in connective tissue, hylaluronic acid gel, along with collagen, is the framework in which skin cells live. Works well to reshape and smooth the surface of aging skin, particularly the nasolabial folds, smile lines, and provide volume replacement in the lips. No skin test required.
Radiesse (calcium hydroxyapatite)
Next generation dermal filler that not only fills but volumizes and works with your body to stimulate new collage and deliver a natural look that lasts. Corrects smile lines, nasolabial folds, and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Simple, safe and minimally invasive. No skin test required.
Sculptra (Volume Replacement)
Sculptra is a biocompatible material intended for correction of moderate to severe volume loss which occurs with aging, atrophic scarring and certain disease processes. May be used on the face or in conjunction with hand rejuvenation. No skin test required.
SPA SERVICES:
MICRODERMABRASIONS- The DiamondTome system is a new crystal-free technology originated in Germany, which uses natural diamond chips to remove the outermost layer of the skin and begin the process of the skin rejuvenation.

SKIN TRANSFORMATION MASK SYSTEM - A mask is applied in the office and will remain on the skin from 5-10 hours depending on the skin type. A six-week skin care system is received with the mask.
