Fillers
Botox®
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.
Restylane® and Juvederm®
 
Fillers have become quite popular because there is little or no down time. These products give shape, smooth wrinkles and folds, and give contour and enhance with the body's own natural material called hyaluronic acid. Because Restylane® and Juvederm® are natural products, there are minimal risks of eliciting allergic reactions from their use. After injections, the gel binds with water and generally remains for many months. Juvederm® is a smoother gel, and may last longer than Restylane®. Gaining the look you desire is possible in a single office visit, and no pre-testing is necessary. Call our office to schedule an appointment.
Radiesse®
This next generation dermal filler goes beyond filling folds and wrinkles. Radiesse® works with your body to stimulate new collagen and deliver a natural look that lasts. Newly FDA approved, this filler is longer lasting and requires fewer injections than the other facial fillers. Radiesse® is made of unique calcium-based microspheres suspended in a natural gel that is injected into the skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure. Radiesse® does more than just temporarily fill-in facial folds and wrinkles—it rebuilds your skin's foundation and restores your youthful look. Call our office to learn more about this exciting filler.

Fat Injections
Fat Injections
Fat injections involve the injection of one's own fat
- taken from other parts of the body - into the lips
or to fill fine lines and wrinkles. Although fat injections
and other procedures that involve the transfer of one's
own fatty tissues show some promise, they do not provide
permanent results because most of the fat is absorbed
. Fat injections therefore require "maintenance"
for lasting results. Please contact
the Center for Cosmetic Surgery today for more information
on fat injections.
Laser Treatments
Syneron™
 Ultra Fast Hair Removal (DSL Applicator)
What does the eMax do?
The eMax features proprietary elÕs™ combined energy technology of Bi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF) with both light and Diode Laser energies. eMax gives you the power to successfully treat a wider range of hair colors and all skin tones with many proven applications. The applications in the eMax include:
We are pleased to announce the addition of the best FotoFacial RF® technology for laser facial rejuvenation: Syneron's ELOS™ Refirme™ as recently seen on Oprah and Rachael Ray and The View. Unlike
older lasers or intense pulse light, ELOS™ works effectively with lower energy and radio frequency. Our ELOS™ services include:
ReFirme™ Wrinkle Reduction - WR
The Elos™ technology stimulates collagen production and produces a firming effect in lax skin. Mild to moderate wrinkles are reduced, and the texture of your skin becomes more smooth and elastic, The combined energies treat at multiple levels—diminishing fine wrinkles at the surface and penetrating into the dermis to treat the deeper wrinkles—all in the same treatment.
ReFirme™ Skin Tightening - ST
The combined Bi-polar Radio Frequency and Light energies of Elos technology precisely heat the dermal tissue within the target treatment area. This stimulates collagen production and produces a firming effect in lax skin. Fine wrinkles are reduced, noticeable lifting can be observed and the texture of your skin becomes smoother and more elastic.
Skin Rejuvenation - SR
The technology precisely and safely taget pigmented lesions such as freckles, sun spots and age spots. Vascular lesions such as spider vessels and redness from rosacea can also be lightened and may gradually fade.
Hair Removal - DSL
Hair follicles are precisely targeted and destroyed using the revolutionary Elos™ combination of Bi-Polar Radio Frequency and Light energies. This laser is setting new standards of speed, safety and efficacy in the removal of even minimally pigmented hair colors, and all skin tones, including tan skin. We have seen awesome results and have very happy patients with their results. Dr. Harris believes that a combination of sclerotherapy (vein injections) and laser works most effectively with difficult spider veins.
Leg & Facial Vein Treatment - LV
The technology precisely targets and heats the unwanted vein protecting the surrounding skin. The applicator includes a built-in contact cooling which ensures additional epidermal protection and comfort for the patient.

Skin Treatments
Microdermabrasion
Transform dull, drab skin into radiant, healthy glow with Syneron's Libra Microdermabrasion. With crystal and crystal-free, you can obtain great results even on sensitive, fragile or thin skin. This is a great skin care regime to incorporate with lasers as an exfoliating process in between, or as a finishing touch.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use a chemical solution to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers. Chemical
peels can be helpful for individuals with facial blemishes, wrinkles, and uneven skin pigmentation. They may also remove pre-cancerous skin
growth, soften acne facial scars, and even control acne.
Peels
Peels revitalize and refresh tired looking skin by peeling away the evidence of fine lines, roughness, patchy dryness, and sun damage. We offer
the following peels:
- Vitalize Peel
- from Skin Medica brings the benefits of Lactic Acid, Resorcinol and Salicylic Acid in a unique blend to provide a strong, but gentle treatment that is appropriate for all skin types. Vitalize Peel has been clinically proven to help reduce the visible signs of aging.
- TCA Peel
- a very aggressive peel to improve the skin's appearance by removing the outer layer of damaged skin to reveal the underlying layer, which is newer and smoother in texture. TCA peels help diminish hyperpigmentation, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles. Expect to have 7-10 days downtimes.
- Glycolic Peel
- Alpha Hydroxyacids are helpful in treating a variety of skin ailments. They have proven to be effective in treating dry skin, acne, liver or sun spots, fine lines and improving skin texture.
- Salicylic Peel
- Salicylic acid or beta peels are often prescribed for patients who have oily skin or are acne prone. Beta Hydroxy acids are simple organic fruit acids found in nature or synthesized in laboratory. Salicylic acid, a common beta hydroxyl acid, has been used for treating acne for decades. Beta hydroxyl acid is used to accelerate skin cell turnover and help clear pores.
