At SkinRx, we offer three FDA-approved neurotoxin options: Dysport, Xeomin, and Letybo. Like Botox, these products temporarily relax the muscles that cause wrinkles. Our team will help you determine which product is the best fit for your goals and anatomy during your consultation.

Neurotoxins are most commonly used to smooth forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines between the brows. Results typically last 3–4 months, though this varies by individual. Regular treatments help maintain a consistently refreshed appearance.

Absolutely. When administered by a skilled, medically trained provider, results should leave you looking refreshed and natural, not frozen or overdone. The goal at SkinRx is always to enhance your features subtly while preserving your natural expressions. Our team takes a conservative, results-driven approach focused on what looks right for you.

Dermal fillers are injectables used to restore volume, smooth deep lines, and enhance facial contours. Common areas include the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, jawline, and under-eye hollows. Results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years or more depending on the product used.

Sculptra works differently from traditional fillers — rather than immediately adding volume, it stimulates your own collagen production over time. Results develop gradually over several months and can last up to 2 years or longer, making it a popular choice for natural-looking, long-lasting rejuvenation.

Sculptra is ideal for patients experiencing facial volume loss, hollowing of the cheeks, or deep lines who want gradual, natural improvement rather than immediate change. It's also great for those who prefer fewer sessions and longer-lasting results.

Yes! SkinRx offers laser hair removal for both the face and body. Laser hair removal uses targeted light energy to permanently reduce unwanted hair by damaging the hair follicle — providing long-lasting smooth skin without the hassle of shaving or waxing.

Most patients achieve their best results with a series of 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, since laser hair removal is most effective during the active growth phase of the hair cycle. Occasional maintenance sessions may be needed after completing your series.

Laser hair removal offers permanent hair reduction — most patients experience an 80–90% reduction in hair after completing their full series. Some fine or light hairs may return over time, and occasional touch-up sessions can maintain long-term results.

Microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny channels in the skin, triggering the body's natural collagen and elastin production. It's effective for fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and skin dullness. Most patients see progressive improvement with a series of treatments.

RF microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivered into the skin. This dual approach stimulates collagen more aggressively, making it especially effective for skin laxity, deeper wrinkles, and acne scars. Results are typically more dramatic and longer-lasting than standard microneedling.

Most patients experience redness and mild swelling for 24–48 hours — similar to a mild sunburn. Most people feel comfortable returning to work within 1–2 days. We recommend avoiding heavy makeup and sun exposure immediately after treatment.

PRX is a bio-revitalizing treatment that stimulates collagen and elastin production without needles and without peeling. Often called a "no-peel peel," it delivers peel-like results with virtually no downtime — improving firmness, texture, and radiance from within.

PRX is suitable for a wide range of skin types and is particularly popular for patients looking to improve skin laxity, dullness, fine lines, stretch marks, or acne scarring with no downtime. It works well for patients new to aesthetic treatments or those with sensitive skin.

Emface is a non-invasive facial treatment that simultaneously uses radiofrequency (RF) energy and HIFES (High-Intensity Facial Electromagnetic Stimulation) to lift and tone the face. RF targets skin collagen and elastin, while HIFES stimulates the facial muscles — creating a natural-looking lift with no needles and no downtime.

Emface is designed to lift the brows and cheeks, reduce wrinkles, and improve overall facial tone. Most patients undergo a series of 4 sessions, with results continuing to improve for weeks after the final treatment and lasting a year or more.

Exion combines monopolar radiofrequency with AI-powered ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production deep within the skin. It treats skin laxity, wrinkles, and volume loss on the face and body — with no downtime.

Exion's unique combination of monopolar RF and ultrasound allows it to reach deeper layers of the skin and stimulate the skin's natural hyaluronic acid — helping maintain moisture and volume. This makes it especially effective for patients noticing skin thinning, dehydration, or loss of firmness.

EZ Gel is a natural, biostimulating filler made from your own blood (autologous plasma). A small blood sample is processed to concentrate growth factors and proteins, which are then injected to restore volume and stimulate collagen. Because it's derived from your own body, there is no risk of allergic reaction.

Unlike synthetic fillers, EZ Gel is 100% natural and derived from your own blood. It not only adds volume but actively improves skin quality over time. It's especially popular for delicate areas like under the eyes where traditional fillers can sometimes look heavy.

Chemical peels exfoliate the outer layers of skin to reveal smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin underneath. They're effective for treating acne, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, and dull skin. Peels range from light (no downtime) to deeper treatments depending on your goals.

Many peels are suitable for a wide range of skin types, but the right choice depends on your skin tone and concerns. Our team will recommend a peel that is appropriate and safe for your specific skin type, taking extra care with patients who have darker skin tones.

Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair ("peach fuzz"). The result is an immediately smoother, brighter complexion — makeup applies more evenly, skincare absorbs better, and skin looks more radiant right away with zero downtime.

No — this is a common myth. Dermaplaning does not change the color, thickness, or growth rate of facial hair. Vellus hair will grow back exactly as it was before. Many patients have dermaplaning done regularly as part of their skincare routine.

Derive is a specialized hair restoration treatment used in conjunction with scalp microneedling. The microneedling creates micro-channels in the scalp, allowing the Derive solution to penetrate deeply into the hair follicles and deliver active ingredients that support hair growth and follicle health.

Derive is a great option for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or early hair loss. It works best when hair follicles are still active but weakened. A consultation at SkinRx will help determine if Derive is the right fit for your hair restoration goals.

SkinRx carries two professional-grade skincare lines: Skinbetter Science and Glytone. Both are medical-grade brands available exclusively through licensed providers, with formulations that are more potent and clinically proven than over-the-counter alternatives.

Skinbetter Science is a physician-dispensed skincare brand known for innovative formulations and clinically proven results. Their line includes advanced antioxidant serums, retinoid treatments, growth factor products, and sun protection — available only through authorized medical providers like SkinRx.

Glytone specializes in glycolic acid-based products that exfoliate, resurface, and renew the skin. It's well regarded for treating uneven skin tone, dullness, acne-prone skin, and early signs of aging — formulated at higher concentrations than drugstore alternatives.

Yes. As a medspa affiliated with Burds Family Practice, all treatments are performed by trained medical professionals in a medically supervised setting. We conduct thorough consultations before every treatment to review your health history and ensure each procedure is appropriate for you.

We strongly recommend a consultation for new patients, especially for injectables and laser treatments. It allows our team to evaluate your skin, understand your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan — and gives you the chance to ask questions before moving forward.

The best way is to schedule a consultation at SkinRx. Our team will evaluate your skin, listen to your concerns, and recommend the most effective treatments for your unique goals — whether that's reducing lines, improving texture, restoring volume, or brightening your complexion. Many patients benefit from a combination approach.
