Cosmetic Procedures

Fractional Laser Resurfacing (Active Fx™ /Deep Fx™):
In a single treatment, a high-energy beam of fractional CO2 laser light smooths lines, wrinkles and scars with minimal downtime and faster healing than conventional laser therapy. Patients notice tightened skin and the elimination of brown spots and other irregularities. Over time, the process also stimulates the formation of new, underlying collagen that provides better elasticity and support for the skin.

Botox
Botox® Cosmetic:
In one 10-minute treatment, FDA-approved BOTOX® Cosmetic utilizes a natural, purified protein to relax facial muscles that cause frown lines. Within days, patients will notice results that last up to 4 months.

Juvederm
Juvederm XC®:
By injecting Hyaluronic Acid, FDA-approved Juvederm XC® gel stimulates collagen to immediately diminish the lines alongside the nose or mouth, or enhance and rejuvenate the lips. Patients finish treatment in about 15 minutes, and can expect results to last from 6-9 months.

Radiesse
Radiesse®:
FDA-approved Radiesse® filler stimulates the body's own natural collagen to immediately soften nasolabial folds, also known as smile lines. Patients finish treatment in about 15 minutes, and can expect results to last from 9-12 months.

Latisse
Latisse®:
Latisse® is a cosmetic application that stimulates eyelash growth to lengthen, thicken, and darken lashes for a more dramatic appearance. Patients can obtain a prescription from Dr. McCarty or Tara Beeler, PA-C.


Microdermabrasion with Glycolic Treatment:
A microdermabrasion vacuum propels a jet of fine crystals that polish and clean the skin to remove dead and damaged cells. Safe, pain-free dermal resurfacing results in improved skin texture and complexion with each treatment, and requires no recovery time. Microdermabrasion can be beneficial for any skin type dealing with acne or superficial roughness.

Laser Hair Reduction:
Laser hair reduction quickly and effectively reduces unwanted hair by disabling hundreds of follicles simultaneously and impairing future re-growth. The technique can be customized according to hair color, texture, and location on the body. This treatment significantly reduces the discomfort common to other follicular deadening methods. No anesthesia or recovery time is necessary.

Sclerotherapy Vein Treatments:
Sclerotherapy remains the best option to help treat unsightly leg veins. We utilize the most commonly used agent, a hypertonic saline solution. Treatments are usually quite successful, but never achieve 100% clearance. Multiple treatments may be required. We recommend using compression hose during the day, for 3-7 days after treatment. We can fit you for hose in our office during your consultation.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL/FotoFacial)
The skin rejuvenating IPL/FotoFacial corrects a variety of benign skin conditions such as brown spots, small veins and vessels using a series of intense pulsed light at varying wavelengths. Treatment can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands and requires little or no down time.
