of Dermatology and is a leading provider of dermatologic surgical services in Central Texas.
Skin peels improve the appearance of skin affected by sun damage, aging, acne, blotchy pigmentation, and fine wrinkles. They will not improve sagging skin
or deep wrinkles. Please schedule a consultation with an aesthetician before scheduling your appointment to determine which peel is right for
you. We offer the following types of peels.
Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid used for superficial peeling. It causes skin cells to be released and shed from the surface of the skin.
These peels can be performed as often as once per week, depending on the strength of acid used. Great for fine lines and photoaging.
Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid that is very effective for exfoliating and reducing oil production in acne-prone skin. It is normal to
experience a slight “tightening” of the skin and shedding of skin cells within 24 hours after the treatment.
A unique formulation of mild acids that provides a slightly deeper peel at less frequent intervals. A series of three to six Vitalize Peels is
recommended at three-week intervals. Great for fine lines, photoaging, and hyperpigmentation.
Trichloracetic acid, a time-honored peeling agent, can be used to peel the skin more deeply. Close monitoring is necessary, and for that
reason, it is not offered in non-medical salons.
This peel combines glycolic and trichloracetic acids in a layering technique to achieve an even greater depth of peeling. This process can be
used on all parts of the body.
Dynamic wrinkles occur when facial muscles that attach to the skin contract. BOTOX® injections block the nerve
impulses within these muscles, resulting in dramatic softening of overlying wrinkles. Frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead creases, and crow’s feet areas are
common sites of treatment.

Collagen implantation is a safe, nonsurgical way to improve the appearance of facial lines, wrinkles, and scars. Collagen treatment is also
an effective method of lip enhancement. Results are immediate, and most people can return to normal activities the same day as their treatment. Results usually last three to six
months. No allergy testing required.
Restylane and Perlane are clear hyaluronic acid
gels that, like collagen treatment, can be used to fill in wrinkles and scars and to enhance the lips. No allergy testing is required prior to
treatment, and the results are significantly more long lasting than with collagen.
Juvéderm Ultra and Ultra Plus™ are FDA-approved hyaluronic acid gels that restores volume and instantly smooths away facial
wrinkles and folds. No allergy testing required.
Radiesse® is a safe FDA-approved dermal filler that not only fills but volumizes and works with your body to stimulate new collagen. It is made
of tiny calcium-based microspheres suspended in a gel. It delivers a natural look that lasts, usually for 12-14 months.
Sculptra® is a long-lasting FDA-approved injectable product that is intended to restore facial volume loss. Sculptra® is not made from
human or animal sources and does not require an allergy skin test. It usually last 2 or more years.
 This procedure utilizes sodium
bicarbonate crystals that are propelled at a high speed across the surface of the skin to exfoliate and stimulate blood flow. This causes an enhancement of cell renewal
and collagen growth. An excellent treatment for clogged pores and fine lines, microdermabrasion may be performed as often as once a week.
This treatment consists of mild microdermabrasion followed by a customized gentle chemical peel. An excellent and effective
light exfoliating treatment that will leave the skin glowing. It offers you the best of both worlds. Recommended for all skin types.
This treatment consists of cleansing, application of a 30% vitamin C enzyme, light extractions, and then application of a gentle but highly
active pharmaceutical-grade vitamin C, glycolic acid, and enzymes layered onto the face to exfoliate, tighten, and speed up cell turnover, leaving the skin glowing and radiant.
Recommended for all skin types.
Deep pore cleansing, toning, enzyme exfoliation with steam therapy, extraction of impurities, and treatment mask. We recommend treatment
once every two weeks or until acne has cleared.
The Clearlight system is a unique new therapeutic light that treats moderate inflammatory acne. Acne Photoclearing (APC™)
Technology is used to destroy the bacteria that cause acne. Clearlight treatments are relaxing, painless, and safe.
A gentle beam of light passes through the skin to the hair follicle, where it is absorbed. The laser energy is transformed into
heat, destroying the hair follicle and leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. Dark hair in patients with light skin color responds best. At least four treatments are necessary.
Treatment time and cost will be discussed during your consultation.
Brow waxing, lip waxing, and full face waxing are available.
Semi-permanent makeup involves implantation of FDA-approved and allergy-tested mineral extracts into the skin. It is used to recreate
eyebrows, enhance your lash line and lip line, and conceal scars.
Facial and body treatments by a licensed aesthetician can be an important and rewarding aspect of your skin care program.
Following a thorough evaluation and discussion, an individual treatment program will be established to help you meet your personal goals.
Portrait PSR3 is a new skin treatment designed to improve wrinkles, texture, tone, and
discoloration of the skin. This is accomplished by application of plasma energy (ionized nitrogen gas) to the skin. The outer layers of
skin remain intact following treatment and serve as a protective dressing until new skin regenerates.
Photodynamic Therapy is the noninvasive application of a topical photosensitizing agent
such as aminolevulinic acid (ALA) just prior to use of the laser or light-based device. ALA is picked up by the rapidly dividing cells such as
sebaceous (oil) glands and sun-damaged precancerous cells. This treatment is effective for acne, actinic (precancerous) keratoses, and photodamaged (aged) skin, as well as other
conditions. The number of treatments necessary and treatment intervals will vary depending on the condition being treated.
FotoFacial™ treatments consist of the noninvasive application of intense pulsed light
(IPL) to the skin. Generally, five or more treatments spaced approximately three weeks apart are required for best results. Unlike more
invasive procedures, there is minimal down time, so you may resume normal activities immediately. FotoFacial™/IPL treatments are effective for blotchy pigmentation, rosacea,
flushing, redness, and dilated blood vessels. The face, neck, chest, and arms may be treated.
Nonablative lasers such as the Aramis™ do not remove skin but pass through the epidermis to stimulate collagen formation. After a series of
treatments, a reduction in wrinkles and scarring can be achieved. We also offer laser treatments to remove blood vessels on the face and legs, as well as tatoo removal.
