Laser Hair Removal
Advanced laser treatments using Cutera and Syneron technologies provide permanent hair reduction. This non-invasive solution targets unwanted hair on all body areas with minimal discomfort. Clinical studies show over 90% effectiveness after eight sessions, making it ideal for facial hair, bikini lines, and larger areas like legs and backs. Our technicians customize settings for different skin tones and hair types.
Microdermabrasion
Dermasweep microdermabrasion uses silk brushes and skin-infusion solutions for gentle exfoliation. This mechanical treatment removes dead skin cells while stimulating collagen production. Immediate visible results include brighter complexion and smoother texture. Regular sessions improve pore appearance, fine lines, and mild acne scarring through controlled exfoliation.
Chemical Peels
AlumierMD chemical peels deliver superficial to medium-depth exfoliation using alpha hydroxy acids. These dermatologist-formulated treatments address hyperpigmentation, acne, and uneven skin tone. Series of treatments progressively improve skin clarity by accelerating cellular renewal while maintaining existing collagen structure for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
Acne Treatments
IPL photorejuvenation combined with AlumierMD skincare targets acne at its source. The treatment reduces p.acnes bacteria through light activation while minimizing inflammation. Customized regimens including extractions, masks, and tailored homecare address both active breakouts and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from initial consultation through maintenance phases.
Skin Tightening
Refirm skin tightening uses combined light and heat energy to address facial laxity. This non-surgical treatment stimulates collagen contraction while improving texture irregularities. Multiple sessions produce gradual lifting effects for jawlines, necks, and other areas experiencing age-related volume loss without downtime.

Shari is very knowledgable and so sweet! She truly cares about her clients and helping them achieve the results wanted. I will forever recommend Shari and the Genesis Laser + BHA Peel to anyone who has struggled with acne, scarring, hyperpigmentation, etc. The last couple years I'd been doing [glycolic] chemical peels monthly and micro-needling annually, and though I did see results from these treatments my skin always seemed to revert back to having the same issues after awhile. The Genesis Laser + BHA Peel has done wonders for my skin and I can honestly say the results are much more permanent

Ive tried a few different places for laser hair removal with varying results until I found Shari. She is welcoming, gentle, caring, and most importantly gets me results. Other places have damaged my skin or takes a long time to heal but with Shari its just slight redness that is gone sometimes within the day. Im really glad I found Shari and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for good results, value, and a safe environment.

This was my first ever face treatment and Im thrilled at the results. I always hesitated worried about pain and scarring but after meeting Shari, going through her assessment which was done so professionally in a completely sanitized environment I knew I was in good hands. Her modern equipment and years and years of experience boosted my confidence. It was intense but much needed. Ten days later my face feels clean, silkier, clear of spots and damage caused over years of makeovers and its noticeably glowing. I had instructions of what products to use with a care package to go!! Im so glad

It was an amazing experience! Shari shared her knowledge as to what was the best course of action for my skin type. She was professional and I felt completely relaxed. With her years of experience and 8 degrees in esthetics you knew you were in good hands. I looked amazing after my treatment, my skin was glowing....looked years younger! Thank you Shari for that wonderful experience, I highly recommend her!

I have been seeing Shari for over 16 years. I have had laser hair removal, facials, waxing, threading, and microblading on my eye brows. Shari is extremely professional and gentle. She is the best esthetiction that I have ever used. I would not go to anyone else. Thanks Shari for treating me so good.
