The VI Peel is a chemical peel the practice describes for acne, scars, fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and hyperpigmentation on the face, neck, chest and hands. Results are typically visible within a week and can last several months. The practice recommends a series of three peels spaced a month apart, with a possible second treatment about two months later. Clients avoid water activities for 7 to 10 days afterward and stop retinol or strong exfoliants a week beforehand.

Dermal filler appointments run about 60 minutes and address volume loss in the face, neck, lips or hands. Fillers offered are Restylane, Juvederm, Belotero, Versa and Teoxane RHA, with results typically lasting 6 to 18 months depending on the filler and the individual. After filler, the practice advises avoiding flights for at least 24 hours and staying in town for at least 48 hours. Neurotoxin treatments use Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Daxxify or Xeomin and commonly address frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines. Results typically appear within a few days to two weeks and last three to six months. Facials, strenuous activity and saunas are avoided for 24 hours afterward.

Sculptra is an injectable that stimulates the body's own collagen production. It is used for volume loss in the cheeks, temples and jawline, and is suited to people with moderate to severe facial wrinkles and volume loss. Treatment is a series of injections of about 30 minutes each. Results usually become noticeable after several sessions over a few months, may not be fully visible until about six weeks after injection, and can last up to two years. The practice describes it as non-invasive with minimal downtime and states it is safe and FDA-approved for cosmetic use. Downtime and side effects are described as uncommon, with small nodules rarely developing and typically resolving over time. Clients are asked to avoid certain medications and supplements beforehand and to limit sun exposure afterward.

Ultra Laser is a non-ablative 1927nm thulium fiber fractionated laser by Lutronic, used on the face, neck, chest and hands. Microneedling uses fine needles to make tiny holes in the skin surface for scars, wrinkles and large pores on the face, neck and chest, usually seen after a few sessions and lasting several months. Microneedling With PRF adds platelet-rich fibrin made from the patient's own blood platelets.

At this clinic, PRF ezGEL is a treatment made from the client's own blood. A small sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate platelet-rich fibrin, which is then injected into the areas being treated. It is aimed at softening the look of fine lines, creases, acne marks and uneven texture. Visible change usually begins within a few weeks of the first session, and the practice suggests one session a month for three months. According to the practice, the treatment suits every skin type, involves little discomfort and needs almost no recovery time. Medical-grade skincare from SkinBetter Science, Isdin, Skinceuticals and Plated Skin Science is available inside the clinic or after a consultation.
