Services
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from upper/lower eyelids to correct drooping and puffiness. This procedure rejuvenates the eye area, improving both appearance and vision when excess skin obstructs sight. Patients achieve a more alert, youthful look with minimal scarring due to precise incisions hidden in natural creases.
Brow Lift
A brow lift smooths forehead wrinkles and elevates drooping brows to reduce signs of aging. Ideal for patients with heavy brows or frown lines, this procedure creates a refreshed appearance by repositioning tissue and muscles. Results are long-lasting, especially when combined with eyelid surgery for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Ptosis Repair
Ptosis repair corrects drooping eyelids caused by muscle weakness or aging. Surgical techniques like levator resection tighten muscles to restore proper eyelid position. This improves both visual function and symmetry, enhancing comfort and confidence for patients with congenital or acquired ptosis.
Botox Cosmetic
Botox Cosmetic temporarily reduces frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases through targeted muscle relaxation. Results appear within days, lasting 4-6 months. This non-surgical treatment offers a quick, minimally invasive solution for achieving a smoother, more rested appearance without downtime.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser treatments address brown spots, vascular lesions, and uneven texture using advanced Sciton technology. By stimulating collagen production and targeting pigmentation, this procedure revitalizes skin tone and texture. Patients enjoy smoother, clearer skin with options for hair reduction and acne treatment.
