Treatments & Services
Botox
Botox®, the cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crow's feet near the eyes, and wrinkles and bands in the neck.
Dermatologic Fillers
Used to reduce wrinkles and signs of aging on the face. Brands used include Restylane®, Perlane®, Radiesse®, and Juvederm®.
Cool Sculpting
An innovative, non-invasive, and clinically proven method to reduce body fat in areas that aren’t responsive to exercise or dieting.
Laser therapy
This is a medical treatment that uses focused light. Surgeons can focus on a small area and damage less of the surrounding tissue. Patients who have laser therapy may experience less pain, swelling, and scarring than with traditional surgery.
Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), also called photoradiation therapy, phototherapy, and photochemotherapy, has existed for about 100 years and is a type of cancer treatment that uses light to kill abnormal cells. A special drug called a photosensitizer or photosensitizing agent is circulated through the bloodstream.
Our Team
The Center’s renowned physicians have authored numerous scientific publications and have lectured extensively. Professional, experienced staff aid patients before, during, and after each visit. Boston Medical Center's Dermatology Associates, also at the Center, care for patients’ general dermatology needs including acne, rashes, and skin examinations to evaluate moles.
