Yes. Our skin rejuvenation treatments are non-surgical and involve no incisions or general anesthesia. Most patients describe the sensation as warmth or mild snapping on the skin. When needed, we use cooling or a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable.

It depends on the treatment and how intense it is. Many patients go back to normal activities the same day, with some redness or mild swelling that fades within a few hours to a few days. More intensive resurfacing can take about a week to heal. Results usually build gradually, and some concerns need a series of sessions. We’ll go over what to expect for your specific plan before you begin.

Fotona 4D is a non-surgical laser facelift that uses four Fotona laser modes at four depths, from inside the mouth to the skin surface. It was developed by Dr. Ashraf Badawi.

Most patients feel warmth or a light snapping sensation. Fotona lasers have built-in skin cooling, and we can use a topical numbing cream for some treatments.

Some treatments show results after one visit, while others work best as a series. Dr. Michael will recommend the number and spacing of sessions for your skin and goals.

TightSculpting may improve mild to moderate loose skin after weight loss, including weight loss with GLP-1 medications, without surgery.
