Laser treatments can be incredibly effective at treating active acne.
Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses high intensity pulses of visible light (or light energy) to improve the appearance of dark spots (age spots, sun spots or freckles), vascular lesions (such as spider veins, rosacea), as well as fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, acne and acne scarring. The process is referred to as photorejuvenation.
IPL is considered a non-ablative resurfacing therapy, which means it targets the lower layers of the skin (dermis) without affecting the top layers of skin (epidermis). The advantage of IPL therapy is its minimal downtime--a patient can often have the procedure done and immediately return to work or other social functions.
Dermal fillers are among the most common, nonsurgical cosmetic procedures performed in the United States. Dermal fillers are composed of a synthetic hyaluronic acid gel, which is a naturally occurring substance in the skin. They are injected under the skin to treat volume loss. Dermal fillers are a safe and cost-effective alternative to plastic surgery and can provide natural looking results.
As we age, the face goes through several physical changes which in part is caused by loss of structural support, as well as loss of volume and migration of fat pads. This may appear as hollow temples, sunken eyes, flattened cheeks, deep lines around the nose and mouth, and loose sagging skin around the jawline. Many people begin to notice signs of facial volume loss starting in their 20s and 30s. The process accelerates as we age and can be influenced by a number of environmental and behavioral factors. Dermal fillers can provide immediate improvement to affected areas.
Specific benefits dermal fillers can provide include:
It is important to consult with a medical provider who is knowledgeable and trained in dermal fillers when considering this procedure.
Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators that block nerve signals and relax muscles. It is injected in small quantities into specific areas of the face to treat concerns including forehead lines and wrinkles, frown lines, crow's feet or lines along the outside of the eyes, chin dimples, small upper lips, and fine lines around the mouth. Botox injections are safe when performed by a trained and knowledgeable provider and are relatively painless. Results can be noticed within 3-5 days of treatment with peak effect being two weeks after injection. Results last 3-4 months depending on the amount of Botox or Dysport used.
Microneedling radiofrequency or "microneedling RF" is currently one of the most sought after anti aging and skin rejuvenation treatments. It specifically improves fine lines and wrinkles, skin tone and texture, large pores, scars and skin laxity.
The device inserts microneedles deep into the dermis in a smooth and controlled manner while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency heat at a precise depth. The micro channels that are created stimulate natural collagen production, and the heat from the radiofrequency promotes remodeling of collagen and elastin to tone and tighten skin. At Meraki Medical Aesthetics, we use the Virtue RF microneedling device which stands apart due to its robotic precision delivery system and sub pulse technology. Sub pulse technology allows RF energy to be broken down into sub pulses without compromising results. Treatments are therefore not only safe and effective for light and darker skin types, but can also be customized to treat specific skin concerns. An innovative post-care treatment mask is combined with microneedling RF. The mask uses microcurrent technology to drive naturally-occurring antioxidants, vitamins, moisturizers and anti-inflammatory agents deep into the skin. This soothes the skin and eliminates redness. Minimal discomfort, minimal downtime, incredible results!
What should I consider with a microneedling RF procedure?
A chemical peel is a procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. The skin that grows back is smoother, more healthy and radiant. Chemical peels are used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, brown spots, uneven skin tone, acne/acne scars or other scarring, large pores. They can be done at different depths, from light to deep. Light to medium makes may require more than one procedure to achieve desired results. Deeper chemical peels offer more dramatic results but take longer to recover.
CO2 lasers are the gold standard for treating wrinkles, age spots, acne scars and other blemishes, loose skin, and uneven tone. Heat energy is applied to the skin, damaged skin is removed or ablated, and collagen production is stimulated. Traditional CO2 treatments require considerable downtime and risk while the damaged skin heals. At Meraki Medical Aesthetics, we use CoolPeel which is an advanced technology offered through the SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser. With CoolPeel, high energy is delivered in extremely short pulses to resurface superficial skin. There's no lingering heat to cause unintended damage to surrounding skin, resulting in less downtime and minimal risk of skin darkening (hyperpigmentation), demarcation or infection.
The laser bamboo facial is a signature treatment that uses advanced laser technology and organic bamboo cream to remove debris and impurities, and tone and tighten the skin. It leaves skin feeling clean, radiant and glowing. It's a perfect refresh to be photo-ready for any occasion!

At Meraki Medical Aesthetics, we offer tattoo removal for black, dark blue, brown, red, orange, yellow, purple and sky blue colors. We use a cooling device to minimize discomfort with the procedure. We've received incredible feedback from patients who are excited to experience little to no pain.
Awaken your skin with a hydrofacial!
Solutions rich in alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), beta hydroxy acid (BHA), hyaluronic acid and hydrogen (H2) are infused deep into the skin, while gentle extraction removes impurities. A hydrofacial leaves your skin feeling bright, hydrated and revitalized! It is safe for all skin types.
Skinwave’s aqua-delivery system includes a unique hydrogen therapy step utilizing water infused with hydrogen. The high concentration of hydrogen reacts with active oxygen in the skin that is linked to drying and aging. The hydrogen bonds with the oxygen to form bound water molecules that are then extracted. This unique Skinwave step provides antioxidant and moisturization benefits and also reduces inflammation.
