Now more than ever before, people are undergoing minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. This is due to advances in technology in the field of aesthetic medicine, as well as economic factors.

The long awaited Voluma XC facial filler is now available in the United States, and we were among the first offices in Atlanta to carry this revolutionary new product. Voluma is used to treat volume loss in the mid face, and addresses the “three dimensional” effects of aging. As we age, our skin becomes more…

Ultherapy is not a lifting…
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) or “Photofacial” treatments have gained popularity in recent years for patients desiring to correct pigmentation and textural irregularities in their skin. IPL targets redness from vessels as well as brown pigment from sun damage. One major challenge with certain IPL technology is the inability to treat a variety of skin types…
After years of touch-up with Botox, fillers, lasers, and anti-aging products, it may be evident that only surgery will provide the results you desire.
