Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that removes surface debris and the outermost layers of the skin with a custom dermaplaning blade. This process is painless and a very safe treatment for the face.

The benefits of dermaplaning include increased adsorption of topical products, immediately diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, primes skin for chemical peels and creates healthier, more radiant appearance. This treatment is also effective in removing unwanted vellus hairs from the face.

ResurFX™

The ResurFX™ fractional laser is an advanced, non-ablative, skin resurfacing technology. ResurFX™ fractional laser stimulates the production of new collagen and elastic fibers in the deeper layers of the skin. Stimulating new collagen production is the key to a more radiant, youthful looking skin. Quality results are achieved after three to five sessions in four- to five-week intervals. You will continue to see improvements for up to six months following the treatment.

Photofractional

The Lumenis^® Photofractional™ treatment is a complete skin rejuvenation solution, enabling your physician to offer you remarkable results on a range of skin aging concerns such as age and sun spots, fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture and skin tone. Our unique rejuvenation technology combines two treatment methods, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and ResurFX™ non-ablative skin resurfacing, so that both skin tone and texture can be treated simultaneously. Optimal results are achieved after three to five sessions in two- to six-week intervals. You will continue to see improvements for up to six months following the treatment.

Hair removal

IPL hair removal treatment is a safe, non-invasive treatment that we offer to dermatology patients in McKinney. IPL hair removal permanently reduces hair growth, resulting in smooth, beautiful skin. Hair removal is effective on black, brown and red hair.

The reduction is already visible after the first session. Treatment is generally administered in a series of six to eight sessions that yield excellent long-term results.

IPL photorejuvenation

Our IPL technology gently and effectively eliminates spots, discolorations, unwanted blood vessels and redness on the face, hands, and body.

Some pigmentation and age/sun spots can be cleared with as few as one to two treatments. Typically two to six sessions with two to four weeks in between are needed to achieve optimal results for most skin concerns.

Stretch marks

The Lumenis Photofractional™ treatment is a complete skin rejuvenation solution for improving the appearance of stretch marks on different areas of the body.

The unique rejuvenation technology combines two treatment methods, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and ResurFX™ non-ablative skin resurfacing, so that both skin tone and texture can be treated simultaneously.

Optimal results are achieved after three to five sessions in two- to six-week intervals. You will continue to see improvements for up to six months following the treatment.

Botox®/Dysport®

The most common cosmetic procedure in the US, Botox/Dysport, improves frown lines between the brows and crow's feet around the sides of the eyes. Fight the aging process with this quick and easy treatment.

Juvéderm®/Boletero®

Dermal fillers such as Juvéderm and Boletero are composed of a hyaluronic acid gel that closely resembles the natural hyaluronic acid found in the skin. This product is fantastic at smoothing out wrinkles and folds in the skin or adding volume to lips for up to one year. With no downtime and instant results, dermal fillers are a safe and effective treatment to soften unwanted lines.

Radiesse®

Radiesse is an injectable dermal filler that temporarily adds volume to help smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and gives an immediate lifting and firming effect on the skin including the hands.

Kybella®

Submental fullness sometimes referred to as "double chin," is a common yet undertreated facial aesthetic condition. Kybella is a treatment we offer in the office to rid you of this annoying problem. A series of injections which dissolves the fat tissue results in a younger and more youthful neckline.

Voluma®

This injectable gel instantly adds volume to the cheek area. It gives you a subtle lift, helping to restore, contour and have a more youthful profile for up to two years. Where Juvéderm is the product to smooth out wrinkles and folds, Voluma is most impactful in adding volume to the cheek area.

Dermatologic surgeons deal with the diagnosis and treatment of medically necessary and cosmetic conditions of the skin, hair, nails, veins, mucous membranes and adjacent tissues by various surgical, reconstructive, cosmetic and non-surgical methods.
