HydraFacial®
A HydraFacial® is a comprehensive facial rejuvenation treatment. Several variations of the HydraFacial® exist – and we proudly feature the latest one! Its ability to cleanse, exfoliate, and brighten the skin has made the HydraFacial® a staple of many elite medical spas.
The unique HydraFacial® process can include multiple steps, including the removal of impurities (e.g., debris, dirt, dead skin cells) and the infusion of various serums. While the particular solutions used can vary based on your skincare needs, they often include amino acids, potent antioxidants, and anti-aging properties to refresh the complexion.
We typically perform the HydraFacial® treatment to address wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and other common aesthetic concerns. In most cases, a HydraFacial® can be completed in half an hour, and a recovery period is seldom necessary. For best results, we recommend patients come in for multiple HydraFacial® sessions.


VI Peel®
A VI Peel® is a type of chemical peel designed to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. Developed by the Vitality Institute, these medium-depth treatments can gently exfoliate the skin, addressing concerns like fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation.
With six customized formulations available, VI Peels® can be tailored to suit your unique needs. Generally quick and comfortable, the process usually involves minimal downtime, often making it an ideal option for non-surgical skin rejuvenation.
Additionally, our skilled aestheticians can frequently combine the advanced VI Peel® treatment with other non-surgical solutions – including microneedling and neurotoxin injectables – for more pronounced effects. We are excited to help you achieve a smoother, more radiant complexion with this innovative treatment!

What Are the Benefits of Our Aesthetician Services?
Our aesthetician services can enhance the health and appearance of your skin while supporting maintenance and rejuvenation. Whether you are looking to address specific concerns or simply maintain a refreshed, polished look, these treatments can provide a versatile and effective approach.
These services can promote a clearer, more radiant complexion by removing buildup that can dull the skin’s appearance. Treatments such as HydraFacial® and VI Peel® can encourage healthy cell turnover while supporting hydration and balance, which can lead to smoother texture and a more even tone over time. Many patients notice that their skin appears brighter and more refined after just one session, with continued improvement through regular visits.
Beyond visible improvements, these treatments can also contribute to a sense of confidence and well-being. Taking time to care for your skin in a professional setting can be both restorative and empowering.
Our aestheticians – Sonja Cody and Kelly Bovone – are skilled specialists who have each helped thousands of patients look and feel better. They have extensive hands-on experience in the aesthetic industry and take great joy in developing customized treatment plans to refresh and rejuvenate all types of skin.
Which Aesthetician Treatment is Right For Me?
Choosing the most appropriate aesthetician treatment depends on a variety of factors. Because every individual’s skin is unique, there is no single treatment that works for everyone.
During your visit, our experienced aestheticians will take the time to evaluate your skin and discuss what you hope to achieve. For patients seeking a gentle yet effective refresh with little to no downtime, a HydraFacial® may be an ideal option. Those looking to improve tone and clarity or ease pigmentation concerns may benefit from a VI Peel®, while CryoCorrect™ can be a great solution for targeting specific lesions or discolorations.
It is also important to consider your lifestyle and timeline. Some treatments offer immediate results with minimal interruption to your routine, while others may involve a short period of peeling or recovery before the full benefits are visible. Our team will guide you through these considerations so you can feel confident in your decision.
In many cases, the best approach may involve a series of treatments rather than a single session. By building a customized plan, we can help you achieve gradual, natural-looking improvements that align with your expectations.
Can Aesthetician Treatments Be Combined with Surgery?
Aesthetician services can play a valuable role both before and after cosmetic procedures – such as facelift, eyelid, or brow lift surgery. When used strategically, these treatments can enhance surgical results and support the health of your skin.
Prior to surgery, certain treatments may help prepare the skin by improving its condition and resilience. Healthier skin can respond more favorably to procedures and may contribute to a smoother recovery process. Our team can recommend appropriate options based on your treatment plan and timeline.
