Medical Weight Loss Program

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are injectable medications that mimic hormones in the body which help regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. They work by reducing hunger and promoting satiety, leading to weight loss.

These injections are typically prescribed for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or those with a BMI of 27 or higher and obesity-related conditions, like type 2 diabetes.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Most side effects are mild and subside with time.

Weight loss can typically be seen within a few weeks to a couple of months, with the full effects occurring over the course of several months.

Emsculpt Neo

Emsculpt Neo combines two technologies: high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy, which builds muscle, and radiofrequency energy, which reduces fat. The treatment causes powerful muscle contractions and helps burn fat simultaneously.

Emsculpt Neo is commonly used to treat areas like the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, arms, and calves.

The most common side effect is muscle soreness, similar to the feeling after an intense workout. This typically lasts for a couple of days.

A typical treatment regimen consists of 4 sessions, spaced at least 3 days apart. We recommend coming in every 7 days.

Laser Hair Removal & Beyond

The GentleMax Pro uses two different lasers, the YAG (for darker skin) and the Alex (for lighter skin), to target the pigment in hair follicles. The laser light is absorbed by the hair, which heats and destroys the follicle, preventing future hair growth.

Skin Rejuvenation & Resurfacing

Frax is a fractional laser treatment that delivers light energy in a controlled pattern to target specific layers of the skin. The different wavelengths of Frax (1550nm and 1940nm) help to treat issues like pigmentation, wrinkles, and skin texture.

Frax is ideal for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, treating acne scars, age spots, sun damage, and improving skin tone.

Patients may experience redness, mild swelling, and a sensation of heat after the treatment. These side effects typically subside within a few hours.

A series of 3 to 5 treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, is recommended for significant results.

RF Microneedling & Skin Tightening

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling combines traditional microneedling (tiny needles that create micro-injuries in the skin) with RF energy to heat deeper layers of the skin. This boosts collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture and tone

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable gels made of substances like hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite. These injectables restore volume to areas that have lost fullness due to aging, improving the contours of the face, smoothing wrinkles, and enhancing features like the lips and cheeks.

Dermal fillers can enhance facial volume, smooth wrinkles, and augment lips, cheeks, jawline, and temples. They are also commonly used for filling in deep lines like nasolabial folds and marionette lines.

Yes, certain types of dermal fillers can be used to improve the appearance of acne scars by adding volume and creating a smoother skin surface.

Common side effects include swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at the injection site. Serious complications are rare but can include infection, lump formation, or skin damage.

The duration depends on the type of filler used. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers typically last 6 to 12 months, while others like Sculptra or Radiesse may last 18 months or longer.

Botox & Dysport Injections

These are injectable neurotoxins that temporarily block signals from the nerves to the muscles, causing the muscles to relax. This helps smooth out wrinkles and fine lines caused by muscle contractions in areas like the forehead, crow's feet, and between the eyebrows.

These treatments are commonly used to treat facial wrinkles (such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines), and also for medical purposes like reducing excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and treating chronic migraines.

Yes, neurotoxins like Botox can treat conditions such as chronic migraines, excessive sweating, and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders.

Mild side effects like bruising, swelling, and headache are common. In rare cases, side effects can include drooping eyelids or brows, but these are temporary and subside within a few days to weeks.

Results typically last between 3 to 6 months, after which the treatment can be repeated to maintain the effects. For most people, results last about 3 months.

Most people can resume normal activities immediately, though it's advised to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours to prevent the toxin from spreading.
