Botox
Botox is a popular and effective cosmetic procedure offered by Dr. Phelan. As a skincare specialist, he is committed to providing you with insights into the benefits, safety, and personalized care associated with Botox injections for a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance.
Botox, short for Botulinum Toxin, is a purified neurotoxin derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When used in aesthetic medicine, Botox is injected into specific muscles to temporarily paralyze them, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines caused by repetitive facial expressions. It is a minimally invasive and safe procedure with a long-standing track record in the field of cosmetic dermatology.
Benefits of Botox Treatment
1. Wrinkle Reduction
Botox is renowned for its ability to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, particularly in areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and around the eyes (crow’s feet).
2. Preventive Aging
Botox can be used proactively to prevent the formation of new wrinkles by inhibiting muscle movement that contributes to the aging process.
3. Non-Surgical Solution
Botox offers a non-surgical alternative to address facial aging, providing noticeable results with minimal downtime and discomfort.
4. Versatility
Botox is versatile and can be tailored to individual needs, allowing for a natural-looking outcome that preserves facial expression.
The Botox Treatment Process
1. Consultation
During your initial consultation, we will discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate your facial anatomy, and determine the most suitable areas for treatment.
2. Injection
The Botox injection process is quick and virtually painless. Small amounts of Botox are strategically injected into targeted muscles using a fine needle.
3. No Downtime
Botox injections require minimal downtime, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.
4. Results
While individual results may vary, most patients experience the full benefits of Botox within a few days to a week, with effects lasting three to four months.
Post-Botox Care
Avoid Rubbing or Massaging
Refrain from rubbing or massaging the treated areas immediately after the procedure to prevent the toxin from spreading.
Follow-Up Appointments
Periodic follow-up appointments with your dermatologist ensure that the results are maintained, and adjustments can be made if necessary.
Combination Treatments
Botox can be combined with other cosmetic procedures for a comprehensive rejuvenation approach tailored to your specific needs.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable substances, often made of hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials, that are strategically placed beneath the skin to add volume and improve facial contours. This minimally invasive procedure is a popular solution for addressing signs of aging, including lines, wrinkles, and volume loss, without the need for surgery.
Benefits of Dermal Filler Treatment
1. Restoration of Facial Volume
Dermal fillers are highly effective in restoring lost volume in areas such as the cheeks, lips, and under the eyes, providing a natural and youthful fullness.
2. Wrinkle Reduction
By filling in lines and wrinkles, dermal fillers can smooth the skin’s surface, diminishing the appearance of facial folds and creases.
3. Enhanced Lip Shape and Volume
Dermal fillers can be used to augment and redefine the lips, creating a fuller and more symmetrical appearance.
4. Non-Surgical Rejuvenation
Dermal filler treatments offer a non-surgical alternative to traditional facelifts, providing noticeable results with minimal downtime and discomfort.
The Dermal Filler Treatment Process
1. Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation where we discuss your aesthetic goals, assess your facial anatomy, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
2. Injection
Dermal fillers are skillfully injected into specific areas using fine needles or cannulas. The procedure is typically well-tolerated, and results are visible immediately.
3. Customization
Each treatment is customized to achieve a natural-looking outcome that enhances your unique features and addresses your specific concerns.
4. No Downtime
Dermal filler treatments usually require minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities shortly after the procedure.
Post-Dermal Filler Care
Avoiding Strenuous Activity
Refrain from strenuous exercise for a short period after treatment to minimize swelling and bruising.
Cold Compresses
Applying cold compresses can help alleviate swelling and provide additional comfort post-treatment.
Follow-Up Appointments
Periodic follow-up appointments with your dermatologist ensure that the results are maintained, and adjustments can be made if necessary.
CO2 Laser Resurfacing
CO2 laser resurfacing is a powerful and advanced treatment that utilizes a carbon dioxide laser to precisely remove damaged skin layers, stimulate collagen production, and reveal a smoother, more youthful complexion. This minimally invasive procedure is highly effective in addressing a range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
Benefits of CO2 Laser Resurfacing
1. Wrinkle Reduction
CO2 laser resurfacing targets and minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, providing a significant improvement in skin texture and tone.

Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. This stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, promoting collagen and elastin production, resulting in improved skin texture, tone, and firmness. Our proprietary numbing cream ensures a nearly painless experience.
Benefits of Microneedling
Collagen Stimulation
Microneedling triggers the production of collagen, a vital protein that contributes to the skin’s structure and elasticity. This helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Improved Textured and Tone
The controlled micro-injuries promote skin regeneration, leading to a smoother, more even complexion. Microneedling is effective in addressing concerns such as acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone.
Enhanced Product Absorption
Microneedling creates microchannels in the skin, enhancing the absorption of skincare products. This maximizes the effectiveness of topical treatments and promotes optimal results.
Minimally Invasive
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with little to no downtime. It is suitable for various skin types and tones, making it a versatile option for skin renewal.
The Microneedling Process

2. Preparation
Before the procedure, the skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort during the treatment.
3. Microneedling
The specialized device is gently moved across the skin’s surface, creating controlled micro-injuries. The depth of penetration is adjusted based on the targeted concerns and your skin’s specific requirements.
Post-Microneedling Care
After Microneedling, your skin may appear slightly red, like a mild sunburn. Our Board-Certified Dermatologist will provide post-treatment care instructions to optimize healing and results.
Hair Regrowth PRP Treatment
Hair Regrowth Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure that utilizes the regenerative properties of your blood platelets to stimulate hair follicles.

Benefits of Hair Regrowth PRP Treatment
Natural Hair Regrowth
PRP therapy harnesses the body’s natural healing mechanisms to stimulate dormant hair follicles, promoting new hair growth in areas of thinning or hair loss.

Benefits of a Chemical Peel Treatment
Improved Skin Texture
Chemical peels effectively exfoliate the skin, diminishing roughness and promoting a smoother, more refined texture.
Even Skin Tone
Uneven pigmentation, sunspots, and discoloration are targeted by chemical peels, resulting in a more even and radiant complexion.
Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles
The exfoliation process stimulates collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful look.
