At Waterfront, we have one of the largest collections of un-filtered before/after photos of our real life patients.
Age 62 vs Age 70: Aging gracefully utilizing a tailored combination treatment plan that takes into account facial volume, fine lines and wrinkles, skin quality, and overall sun damage.
Multimodal combination laser resurfacing is considered the most powerful and effective way to achieve a complete rejuvenative effect. It is an advanced technique that should be performed by an experienced laser surgeon. Fine lines and wrinkles are softened or eliminated, deeper folds are reduced, skin is tightened significantly, and years are taken off the face with just one treatment. Results are long lasting, with studies showing increased collagen production even 5 years after treatment.
Age 45 vs Age 53: Non-invasive treatments such as injectable and laser combined in the correct way can maintain and enhance appearance even 5-10 years later.
Firmer, tighter, brighter, and smoother skin with a single treatment of combination CO2 laser resurfacing.
Age 64 vs Age 74: Custom designed treatment plans carefully delivered over time utilizing advanced injectable and laser techniques for total anti-aging while maintaining a beautiful and natural appearance.
Laser resurfacing is one of the most effective ways to tighten eyelid skin and remove wrinkling and fine lines that give a dull tired appearance. This procedure can avoid the need for filler or more aggressive surgical treatment. One treatment was performed.

Wrinkle Reduction FAQs
How do we treat wrinkles?
We treat wrinkles with science-backed treatments often used in combination to address all elements of aging, including fine lines, sun damage, age spots, textural irregularities, and scarring. This comprehensive approach leads to revitalized, youthful-looking skin.
How much do wrinkle reduction treatments cost?
As every patient’s skin is unique, we create a customized treatment plan for each patient that often includes multiple treatment options to address all of their concerns. As such, treatment costs vary and will be provided to you after a comprehensive consultation and skin analysis by our dermatologists.
How long do wrinkle reduction treatments last?
The duration of your treatment results can vary depending on the treatment type. For example, Botox generally lasts about 3 months, while Frax Pro results usually last about a year.
What are the side effects of wrinkle reduction treatments?
Potential side effects include but are not limited to bruising and/or bleeding at the injection site, inflammation, localized pain, tenderness or swelling, peeling, and/or headaches.
Are wrinkle reduction treatments painful?
With expertly administered anesthetic, most procedures are nearly painless. If you opt for no numbing agents, you will feel slight pinching during injections such as Botox. The aftercare process for treatments such as Frax Pro can be slightly uncomfortable due to swelling, redness, and peeling; however, we ensure our patients are fully prepared with proper aftercare instructions for quick and optimal healing.
Are wrinkle reduction treatments safe?
Yes. All of our treatments are performed by our board-certified dermatologists who utilize evidence-based treatments that have been well-researched and developed. Our intent is to raise the standard of care and create a safe space for people to express their cosmetic concerns and trust that they are receiving the best treatments available. We always ensure our patients are well-versed in potential side effects and the proper aftercare protocols.
