Hair Restoration
Our Alma TED Hair Restoration system uses ultrasound technology to stimulate hair growth and improve scalp health. This non-invasive treatment strengthens hair follicles to produce thicker, healthier hair without surgery or downtime. Patients typically notice reduced shedding within two weeks and visible improvements after three monthly sessions.
Botox and Fillers
Our certified cosmetic nurse provides Botox and dermal filler treatments to reduce wrinkles and restore facial volume. Using premium Allergan and Galderma products, we deliver natural-looking results that refresh your appearance. Treatments take 20-25 minutes with immediate visible improvements and minimal downtime.
Depression Treatment
NeuroStar TMS Therapy offers FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for treatment-resistant depression. This outpatient procedure uses magnetic stimulation to target brain regions associated with mood regulation. Most patients experience symptom improvement within four weeks through daily 19-37 minute sessions without anesthesia or medication.
In House Lab
Our on-site laboratory provides comprehensive blood testing and diagnostic services with faster results. Certified phlebotomists collect specimens that interface directly with reference labs, ensuring efficient processing and electronic result transmission. This streamlines diagnosis and treatment planning for various medical conditions.
