CoolSculpting® LOSE THAT FAT!
A non-surgical solution
CoolSculpting® is the coolest, most innovative, non-invasive and natural way to quickly lose those annoying bumps and bulges of stubborn fat.

On average, you’ll see a 20% reduction of fat in the treated area after one visit. And after your treatment, you get on with your busy day.

Fraxel®
A breakthrough in skincare! With a combination of two lasers, Fraxel Re:store® Dual Laser Treatment is a gentle but potent way to smooth fine wrinkles and scars, treat age spots and restore vibrant skin. For every area of skin Fraxel treats, it leaves areas of skin untouched. This “fractional” approach allows the skin to heal much faster with limited downtime. The body’s natural healing process creates new, healthy and tighter tissue to replace skin imperfections.
•Improves texture, tone and pore size
•Diminishes brown spots
•Smooths wrinkles around the eyes and acne scars
•Rejuvenates your neck, chest and hands

IPL®
IPL Photorejuvenation and Photodynamic Therapy – IPL harnesses the healing power of intense light to rejuvenate skin. This safe, noninvasive treatment reduces signs of aging and sun damage, removes broken capillaries and birthmarks, and even diminishes the redness associated with rosacea.
Photodynamic Therapy is used in conjunction with IPL for dramatic results in treating precancerous spots called actinic keratoses, reducing skin imperfections and undoing years of sun damage.

Clarisonic®
Yes, we offer the Clarisonic® skincare system at Skin Solutions! It’s a great tool to use at home. We feature the Clarisonic Pro with a fifth speed for the body brush attachment, sold in physician offices only.
The soft, gentle brush oscillates back and forth more than 300 times per second. From the creators of the Sonicare toothbrush, this gentle and effective system cleanses so well that products are better absorbed. Skin is softer, oily areas and dry patches are reduced, and pores appear smaller.
Skin Solutions now carries Clarisonic Refining Skin Polish, and Clarisonic cleansers: Gentle Hydro Cleanser, Refreshing Gel Cleanser and Nourishing Care Cleanser.
New from Clarisonic:
the Opal Sonic Infusion System with Anti-Aging Sea Serum
A palm-sized sonic infusion device, the Opal is specially designed to help build skin’s resilience over time and prevent future damage around the eyes. By gently tapping the skin around your eye at 125 sonic movements per second, the Opal dispenses a specially formulated anti-aging sea serum, maximizing absorption in a way that’s not possible with your finger alone.
Opal users are saying that their skin appears brighter, looks younger, and feels refreshed and energized. And best of all, consumers are experiencing an immediate reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Semipermanent Makeup
Imagine how great it would be to wake up looking your best!
Semipermanent Makeup eases your daily routine. Using a remarkable technique called intradermal pigmentation, we can apply semipermanent eyeliner, enhance the size and shape of your lips, make your eyebrows appear fuller and help conceal imperfections.
3D Lashes
Eyelash Extensions give you fuller, longer, natural looking lashes for up to two months. Comfortable and light, 3D-Lashes™ last beautifully through showers, exercise and sleep. Back to top
