Radiesse
$0.0Radiesse is a dermal filler that can last up to 2 years. Radiesse stimulates your body’s natural collagen production that fills-in wrinkles and promotes better skin texture and elasticity. Upon treatment, Radiesse is designed to provide immediate lifting and sculpting results with the most-noticeable benefits occurring about 12 weeks post-treatment when the collagen stimulation is at its peak.
Lip Filler - New Patients
$0.0Customized lip augmentation using HA fillers to enhance volume, shape, and hydration. Techniques vary per anatomy—some patients need subtle definition; others want balanced volume. Our providers emphasize proportion and long-term filler safety.

Kybella - New Patient
$0.0Deoxycholic acid injections permanently destroy fat cells under the chin. Ideal for patients with submental fullness who want contour without surgery. Swelling is expected for ~5–7 days. Multiple sessions typically required.
Tox - Returning Patient
$0.0Maintenance visit for regular patients. Treatment based on previously mapped zones and known dose tolerances.
EZ Gel or PRF/PRP Injections
$1200.0Your own blood becomes a gentle, natural filler. We draw a bit of blood, spin it to isolate PRF + albumin, then heat it into a gel that gets injected into hollow areas like tear troughs, cheeks, or smile lines. Unlike HA fillers, this 100% autologous gel gradually releases growth factors to stimulate collagen & elastin—softening lines and improving texture over time. Natural volume, regenerative benefits.
Hair Restoration
$1000.0Tired of thinning hair or receding hairlines? We inject PRP or PRF into the scalp to activate hair follicles and reduce inflammation. PRF’s slower release means fewer sessions—typically 3 monthly treatments, then maintenance every 6–8 months. Best paired with minoxidil/finasteride.
Sculptra
$850.0Biostimulator that triggers your body to rebuild its own collagen using poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Great for softening hollows, lifting early jowls, and addressing facial laxity—especially in temples, cheeks, and the lower face. Results build gradually over 3–6 months and last up to 2+ years.
Buttock Augmentation
$0.0A non-surgical option to enhance volume and improve contour. Sculptra or Radiesse is injected into the gluteal region to stimulate collagen and subtly lift shape. Especially helpful for hip dips, skin laxity, or loss of projection due to aging. Results develop gradually, with minimal downtime.
