Medical Spa Offers the Best of Both Worlds

Now that the kids have settled back in school, it’s time to turn the spotlight on you! Whether you’re just looking for some “me” time and a pampering facial or you’re interested in anti-aging and cosmetic treatments, a Medical Spa such as South Shore Skin Center’s can meet all of your needs. 


At our Medical Spa, our patients benefit from the science of medicine and the art of aesthetics.  We offer a number of cosmetic services to help patients look their best and feel most confident.  From lasers (including the Fraxel Laser) and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) to Thermage and other treatments, we can help erase wrinkles, sagging, spider veins, age spots, acne scarring, birthmarks, tattoos and more.  Here is a quick overview of a number of our treatments to provide a better understanding of all that we offer.

 •  Fraxel re:pair and Fraxel re:store laser technologies can help to improve the skin’s overall appearance.  Fraxel re:pair is designed to target aging and damaged skin, stimulating the body’s natural production of new collagen and skin cells.  Fraxel re:store is for general resurfacing on the face, neck, chest and hands.  It effectively treats a number of skin conditions and also reduces the appearance of acne scarring and surgical scars. 

• Gentle YAG laser effectively treats spider veins in one to three sessions.  Gentle YAG is ideal for treating spider veins on the legs, where sclerotherapy was previously the only option available.  With Gentle YAG, healing times are quicker; there is little discoloration at the treatment site and fewer treatments are needed than with traditional laser therapy.

• Tattoo Removal by laser is painless and minimizes unsightly scarring.  We can effectively remove unwanted tattoos in eight or fewer treatment sessions, depending upon the size of the tattoo, pigments used and how deeply the ink was injected.   A laser delivers light pulses to the tattoo to break up the pigment. Each treatment session lasts between 5 to 20 minutes. 

• IPL is a Photorejuvenation treatment and perfect for a variety of conditions.  IPL can reduce fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage and also minimize the appearance of age spots, birthmarks, broken blood vessels and Rosacea. IPL delivers light energy to the skin surface in precise pulses to rejuvenate the skin. IPL is effective for all skin types and provides immediate, long-lasting results.  Patients may return to normal activity following the procedure and there is minimal to mild redness in the treated area.

• Thermage treatments for the body are for patients looking to tighten and contour their arms, abdomen and thighs.  Thermage treatments utilize radio-frequency technology to tighten and contour the skin.  It is a non-invasive procedure which means it does not involve surgery, anesthesia or injections.  There’s no down time and a treatment takes approximately 90 minutes. 


We also offer a full range of affordable anti-aging services at our Medical Spa including Botox Cosmetic and wrinkle fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane and our newest filler Sculptra, which has just been approved by the FDA for treatment of deep facial lines and folds.  In order to determine whether an anti-aging or cosmetic treatment is right for you, we typically schedule a consultation prior to treatment. 


Looking to pamper yourself?  Try our signature facial.  Our experienced estheticians perform a complete skin analysis and use only the highest grade of products.


No time for a treatment?  Take advantage of the latest, effective anti-aging and skin care products available.  We carry Latisse (the first and only FDA approved treatment to grow eyelashes), Vivité and SkinCeuticals products.


Caring for your skin does require a little time, effort and investment.  Allow our professional team of physicians, physician assistants, nurses and estheticians help you to protect your skin and help you look and feel the very best.
