Aging is inevitable. Knowing there are non-surgical options is empowering because we all want to live long, healthy lives and feel our best doing it.
As you age, your body produces less collagen, Collagen is the primary structural component of connective tissue – it’s what keeps your skin looking healthy and youthful. After the age of 30, you lose about 1% every year. With the loss of collagen, you will notice signs of aging that include changes in the tone and texture of your skin volume loss, and laxity or loose skin. These noticeable changes appear on the face, neck, and body.

A surgical thigh lift targets only one aspect of improving the look of thighs by removing excess skin to improve appearance.

TightSculpting® addresses three concerns of skin tightening – Tone and Texture, Laxity, and Volume Loss – with a completely non-surgical approach regardless of what area of the body is being treated.
TightSculpting® addresses three concerns of skin tightening – Tone and Texture, Laxity, and Volume Loss – with a completely non-surgical approach regardless of what area of the body is being treated.
Tone and Texture is best described as what you can see and feel on the skin…it’s the perfections and imperfections.
Laxity and Volume Loss are mutual and not exclusive of each other. If you have volume loss there will be laxity – if there is laxity it is typical to have experienced volume loss from aging or weight loss. Collagen production stops at about the age of 30, so by the age of 40 subtle changes in the skin are more pronounced and apparent. Anyone who has lost 10 or more pounds knows clothes fit better, but your skin doesn’t always look better!

Does the idea of a strenuous, sweaty workout give you anxiety? If you hate the gym, set aside your good intentions and stop paying for a gym membership you won’t use. There’s another way to get the body shape that you want, and it takes significantly less time than going to the gym.
It’s called Emsculpt, and it doesn’t require surgery.
Emsculpt is a non-invasive high intensity focused electromagnetic technology (HIFEM®) that causes your muscles to contract powerfully. The action forces your muscle tissues to adapt, resulting in muscle building and the sculpting of your body. These contractions are so strong that they cannot be achieved by working out. In fact, 30 minutes of EMSCUPT is the equivalent of 20,000 crunches or squats depending on the area being treated.

If you are ready to undo wrinkles, sun damage and facial veins, the ICON laser treatment is for YOU! The ICON IPL and Microbeam Laser Platform has taken skin rejuvenation to a whole new level. The combination treatment Three for Me addresses all problems with tone and texture of your skin by combining both IPL and a Microbeam Laser.
How do Three for Me treatments work?
The treatment is performed in two steps. The first step or ‘pass” uses IPL or Intense Pulse Light followed by a pass with the microbeam laser. Think of IPL as treating anything red or brown on your skin that bothers you. The most common areas are the broken red vessels on the nose and cheeks – or sun damage from all the early years in the sun without sunscreen or sun protection. The Microbeam Laser is a gentle laser treatment to build collagen, reduce imperfections, and polish your skin to perfection of your younger years.
IPL Treats: Cafe au lait macule, Diffuse Redness, Freckles, Epidermal Melasma, Telangietasia’s, Hemangiomas, Poikiloderma, Port Wine Stains, Rosacea, Solar Lentigo, Spider Angioma, Stretch-Marks, and Venous Lakes.

Did you know 90% of skin damage is caused by sun damage? Aging UVA rays are equally strong on sunny days and cloudy days. And, after the age of 20, you produce 1% less collagen in the skin each year. Pretty skin can be a little effort or a lot of effort. Either way, HydraFacial makes it effortless.
What is a HydraFacial?
Hydrafacial is the newest technology for microdermabrasion lovers. HydraFacial is the only hydradermabrasion that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection simultaneously, resulting in clearer, more beautiful skin with no discomfort or downtime. The treatment is soothing, moisturizing, non-invasive and non-irritating.

Snoring disrupts healthy sleep patterns and can keep both you and your partner up at night. Poor sleep quality prevents the body from resting and rejuvenating. This can lead to chronic exhaustion during the day and take a tremendous toll on health and quality of life. The condition of sleep apnea, which always involves snoring, can even be life-threatening. Sleep studies have confirmed that sleep apnea causes breathing to stop during sleep.
Non-Invasive, Safe and Effective
Fortunately, help is available. NightLase technology is an innovative laser treatment that has already brought effective snoring relief to thousands of patients. NightLase for snoring is one of the most effective non-surgical medical spa treatments available on the market today.

Christie Brinkley embodies the life of feel good, look good – and, finally we get to know her secrets. The truth is non-surgical anti-aging is really no secret at all. Ultherapy and Xeomin are well respected, FDA approved, non-surgical treatments that have been changing the faces of both men and women for years.
Ultherapy is a popular treatment for men and women because there is literally no downtime. You are back to work to the next day. Better yet, no one will ever have to know what you are doing. Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound technology to treat deep within the collagen matrix and muscle fibers that keeps your skin tight, taunt, and youthful. Treatment areas include full face and neck, chest, and other areas – like the knees – that can benefit from a lift. Ultherapy is a lift that gives you control over the way you age. The most common feedback from clients why they chose Ultherapy:

Collagen production decreases by 1% every year beginning at the age of 20. You begin to notice subtle signs that include changes in the tone and texture of the skin, wrinkles, fine lines, loss of volume, and laxity. Contributing factors like free radical damage, UVA damage, diet, sleep, hydration, and exercise also play a factor in your aging process. You begin to feel like you’ve lost the baby face of your youth! Collagen is what makes babies look like babies. There is a collagen boost solution with Ultherapy.
Ultherapy, an FDA approved treatment to lift the face and neck, restores collagen that provides the lift without looking like you’ve had ‘work’ done’. We offer a lighter version of the traditional Ultherapy treatment, the Sonic Lift, that is appropriate for men and women who just need a collagen boost. Continue reading →
