Skin Care
Our philosophy is that healthy skin is beautiful skin. We believe that in order to achieve complete aesthetic enhancement, skin rejuvenation must be considered.
Improve the way your skin looks, acts and feels in a serene environment that focuses on you. Our office provides an elegant setting in which state of the art therapeutic skin rejuvenation treatments are administered.
Our Nouvelle Surgery Center and Medi-Spa offers the following skin care treatments and products administrated by our staff of fully licensed aestheticians and laser specialists.
Facials
Deep cleansing facials that repair, restore and add moisture to your skin are tailored to meet your specific needs.
Microdermabasion
We offer the latest cell renewal and collagen regrowth technique available using skin abrasion. An excellent treatment for aging skin, sun damaged skin, dry skin, oily skin, and fine lines. Removes discolorations with skin polishing micro crystals to improve skin’s texture and tone, resulting in a smoother, vibrant, healthy complexion and a rejuvenated appearance.
Dermabrasion
Performed by Dr. Dick, dermabrasion helps to “refinish” the skin’s top layers through a method of controlled surgical sanding. The treatments soften the sharp edges of surface irregularities, giving the skin a smoother appearance. Dermabrasion is most often used to improve the look of facial skin left scarred by accidents or previous surgery and is commonly used to treat deep acne scars. It can be performed on small areas of skin or on the entire face.
Lasers
We offer the Palomar Starlux® laser system, the world’s most advanced laser and pulsed light system for aesthetic applications. Recognized as the new Gold Standard in laser and pulsed light technology, the Palomar system offers exceptional versatility, and patient comfort and safety.
Pulsed Light Photorejuvenation (IPL)
IPL Photofacials treat sun damage, sunspots, rosacea and unsightly facial veins. The light is absorbed by the pigment in sunspots and the blood in visible vessels which typically fade from view within three weeks. More than one treatment is necessary.
Pulsed Light Hair Removal
Palomar’s pulsed light system offers a long lasting solution to unwanted hair. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicles and converted to heat. The heat then loosens the hair and disables the cells responsible for new hair growth. More than one treatment is necessary.
Laser Leg Vein Treatments
Palomar offers non-invasive laser pulses which cause unsightly vessels to fade from view in a few treatments.
Fractional Skin Resurfacing
This laser offers skin tightening and rejuvenation through soft tissue coagulation. This results in a fresher, more youthful skin tone and texture, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and texture imperfections. A series of treatments at 3 to 6 week intervals may be required to achieve the desired results.
Cosmetic Dermal Fillers

Restylane and Perlane, Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus, and Radiesse products replace lost volume and restore youthful contours to the skin to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth. Wrinkle correction can be expected to last 6 months to 12 months. Dr. Dick will recommend the product that he feels will address your particular needs.
A person’s fat may also be removed and reinjected, but its unpredictable absorption limits its use.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
