IPL $299 per treatment
IPL Photorejuvenation can treat a variety of skin conditions including age spots, redness, brown spots, sun damage, freckles, rosacea and more - all while stimulating the formation of new collagen in the skin. Fast and virtually painless, IPL boasts dramatic results that will leave you with skin that's youthful, smooth, uniform and revitalized.

Laser Genesis $350 per treatment
Genesis is the no-down-time facial laser that shrinks pores, reduces redness and improves acne scars. One of the few lasers on the market that can be used on all skin types, Genesis gently heats the upper dermis, stimulating collagen growth, tightening pores and targeting small facial capillaries, leaving you with diminished redness.

Titan Laser $1,200 per treatment
By stimulating the growth of new collagen in the deepest layers of your skin, the Titan laser causes your skin to contract, tightening and toning from the inside out. During this procedure, your skin will be continuously cooled and protected while skin laxity and wrinkles are diminished. Loose skin anywhere can be treated, but the most common areas are the face, neck, abdomen, above the knees, along the jawline and under the chin.

The Fractional Pearl Laser $1,995 per treatment
This premium laser gives you skin that looks clearer, younger, more toned and healthier - no surgery required! Staggering results are yours, even after only one treatment, with minimal downtime. Engaging every layer of the skin from the bottom up, the Fractional Pearl works miracles by shrinking pores, eliminating discoloration, banishing sun damage, ridding redness, smoothing lines and more. Pearl's distinctive laser wavelength sends pulses of light in a pattern to maximize every minute of your treatment to encourage faster results. Your skin will be as luminous and smooth as a pearl when your treatment is complete.
