Botox
Botox® smooths the skin by relaxing harsh movement of facial muscles. The neuromodulator is injected in small doses into the muscle to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and is especially effective when used preventatively. Results last between 3-4 months.* The Neuromodulators we offer include Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, Jeuveau®, and Daxxify®.
-
Botox® is a preventative treatment designed to help you avoid wrinkles and preserve a more youthful appearance. In this procedure, we prep the skin before injecting small doses of FDA approved neuromodulators into the facial muscles that surround the target area. Neuromodulators are made from a purified protein called botulinum toxin and work by blocking the impulses that trigger the muscles to contract. This results in smoothing and softening of the wrinkles and folds that are caused by movement.
As with all treatments offered at The Clinic, your provider will work alongside you to understand your desired outcomes, develop an individualized treatment plan, and ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. It’s important to note that results are not instant, it may take up to two weeks to see the treatment’s full benefits. Common side effects include small, temporary bumps at the injection site and bruising that may last a couple of days. To maintain results, we recommend receiving the Smooth It Out treatment once every three to four months.
Pricing varies depending on the type of neuromodulator used. Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau® start at $12 per unit when more than 50 units are purchased. If less than 50 units are utilized, the product is priced at $13 per unit. Daxxify® is a longer lasting neuromodulator. When used, results can be visible for up to six months. Daxxify® is $9 per unit and will require more units per area. Costs are approximately $100 more per treatment area than other neuromodulators.
Filler
Facial filler adds subtle volume and can help achieve facial balancing. Made with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally produced by your body, fillers are injected beneath the surface of your skin. Results last between six months and two years, depending on the type and quantity of filler used. Facial filler can be used in many areas, including temples, cheekbones, under-eyes, nasolabial folds, lips, jawline, chin, neck, and hands.
-
Filler is ideal for clients who are looking to achieve facial balancing or add subtle volume to parts of the face. In this procedure, fillers are injected beneath the surface of the skin to restore soft-tissue volume loss, smooth out wrinkles, or plump and hydrate lips. Fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally produced by our bodies, and each injection contains numbing medication for your comfort. Filler can be used throughout the face, temples, under eyes, cheekbones, nasolabial folds, lips, jawline, chin, neck, and hands. While The Clinic does not place filler in the nose at this time, we can refer patients to reputable providers that do.
Prior to your filler injection, your provider will remove any makeup from your face and prep the skin. Common side effects include swelling that lasts for 48-72 hours, bruising for up to two weeks, and small bumps in the target area for a few weeks post-injection. However, there are several preventative measures you can take to decrease the amount of bruising you experience:
For two weeks prior to your appointment, avoid:
NSAIDS such as Ibuprofen, Aleve, and Motrin
High doses of vitamin E supplements
Omega-3 fatty acids such as fish oil and flax oil
St. John’s Wort
Ginkgo Biloba
Ginseng
Garlic
Glucosamine
For two days prior to your appointment, avoid drinking alcohol.
The results of facial filler can last between six months and two years, depending on which filler is used and how much of it is injected. Before completing the procedure, we will work to understand your desired outcome and provide information about the type, quantity, and expected duration of the recommended filler.
Kybella
Kybella® is used to permanently reduce small fat pockets in the face that are most commonly associated with fullness under the chin. Kybella® is injected into fat cells and prevents them from returning. Multiple sessions may be needed, but once you achieve your desired results, no further treatment is necessary.
-
Kybella® treatments are designed to target the double chin. Made of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring compound, Kybella® is FDA approved and works to permanently reduce small fat pockets in the face. When injected into the double chin, it destroys the membrane of fat cells, causing them to break down and pass through the body as normal waste. This means that whatever is removed is permanently gone.
When you arrive to your Kybella® appointment, your skin will be prepped before the injections are administered. If multiple treatments are needed, they will be spaced one month apart. Once you achieve your desired results, no ongoing treatment or upkeep is necessary. Treatment results often take at least four weeks to see, and common side effects include bruising and swelling that can last up to seven days.
Pricing of the Kybella® procedure ranges depending on fullness desired.
Microneedling
Microneedling with SkinPen® focuses on improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines and scars. A series of at least three sessions is recommended for best results.
-
Microneedling is a mid-strength approach focused on improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines and scarring. It stimulates collagen and tissue regeneration and is great for improving the skin’s firmness, texture, and tone. In this treatment, a minimally invasive microneedle device is used to create controlled, micro injuries which break down old tissue and stimulate the body’s wound healing process. The needling device used reaches depths from 1mm to 2.5mm. Through the process, we add powerful serums containing hyaluronic acid and growth factors to the skin which contain anti-inflammatory properties and support optimal healing.
To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure begins. Common side effects include pinpoint bleeding, as well as mild swelling and redness for one to three days.
Microneedling with PRFM
When combining the growth factor from your blood with microneedling, the result is a naturally brightened, smoother, and plumper surface. This treatment is recommended for those with thin skin, laxity, and dull skin. Results last 1-2 years when done in a series.
-
At The Clinic, you have the option to add the power of Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) therapy to your microneedling treatment. This approach speeds up the healing process and jump starts remodeling in your skin. With PRFM, blood is drawn from your arm and spun through a centrifuge. This concentrates the blood platelets, allowing them to be separated and reintroduced back into the target area as a bio-regenerative treatment.
On its own, microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure which creates controlled, micro injuries that work to break down old tissue and stimulate the body's wound healing process. When combined with PRFM, the growth factor extracted from your blood is reintroduced to the target area using the same, micro-injury approach. The result is a naturally brightened, smoother and plumper surface. This treatment is recommended for those who want to improve skin texture, fine lines, and acne scars. When done in a series, the effects of microneedling with PRFM last one to two years.
-
Similar to microneedling with Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix, PRFM injections are great for anyone looking to thicken thinning skin and create a naturally youthful, refreshed appearance. With PRFM, blood is drawn from your arm and spun through a centrifuge. In this approach, the gel growth factor that is extracted from your blood is reintroduced to the target area by injection rather than microneedling. This technique is great for use in places that can be difficult to reach with filler, including around the eyes. Best results are achieved if injections are completed in a series of three to four treatments, occurring four to six weeks apart. Once you have your desired results, we recommend maintenance injections once every six months. Common side effects include swelling and bruising which can last up to two weeks.
-
PRFM injections for hair restoration is a great option for anyone looking to address thinning hair. In this Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) treatment, blood is drawn from your arm and spun in a centrifuge. This process concentrates the blood platelets, allowing them to be separated and reintroduced back into the target area as a bio-regenerative treatment. The PRFM contains growth factors and, when injected into areas of thinning hair, works to stimulate and increase the number of reparative cells.
We recommend a series of six to nine treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Prior to receiving this treatment, we recommend receiving a blood panel from your primary care doctor which can help determine if an underlying disease or disorder is contributing to hair loss. It is also important to stay hydrated for at least 24-hours before your treatment.

-
Glass Skin with Aquagold® is a gentle microneedling procedure that renders results almost immediately. This treatment is perfect for anyone looking to firm skin, improve texture, brighten tone, hydrate, address blemishes and scars, or minimize the appearance of pores. In this procedure, tiny, hollow gold needles create controlled damage and infuse the skin with a special mix of neuromodulator, filler, and a blend of ingredients that improve overall skin health. Glass Skin results can last up to three months and, with regular treatments, can contribute to long-term skin health.
Radio Frequency Skin Tightening
Morpheus8 ™ combines deep microneedling with radiofrequency thermal energy that tightens the skin and significantly helps with refining texture. It stimulates the growth of new, healthy skin, combating acne scars and fine lines. A series of at least three sessions is recommended for best results.
-
This radio frequency skin tightening treatment is our most impressive rejuvenation procedure. It combines deep microneedling with radiofrequency thermal energy to tighten skin and refine texture. The Morpheus8 ™ treatment is ideal for those looking to stimulate the growth of new, healthy skin while combating acne scars and fine lines.
We suggest a series of three treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Common side effects often last for 24-72 hours after the procedure and include pinpoint bleeding, moderate swelling, redness, and grid marks. Radio Frequency Skin Tightening with Morpheus8 ™ treatments are priced at $950 for one or $2630 for three. This cost includes aftercare products.
Intense Pulsed Light Treatment
Lumecca ™ Pulsed Light helps reduce the appearance of age spots, sun damage, rosacea, and freckles.
-
The Intense Pulsed Light treatment combines the powerful effects of light therapy with the benefits of a photofacial, working to refine and even out your complexion. We utilize Lumecca ™ by Inmode—the most powerful Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)—to target pigment and vascular lesions while improving age spots, sun damage, rosacea, and freckles.
Immediately after treatment, redness and a slight warming sensation in the skin are normal and usually subside within an hour. Over the following one to two days, you may notice a darkening of pigmented spots. However, over the next couple of weeks, pigmented lesions will clear leading to an evening of the skin tone. After treating vascular lesions, some clients also see the vein blanch or a color change in the vessel. This typically dissipates after a few days.
While individual results may vary, and contraindications may apply, many clients see an improved skin appearance after the first session. Multiple treatments will provide even better results.
