Most Popular Treatment Options:

Botox, and Xeomin:  At Áureo, we offer a variety of neurotoxin injectibles to provide softening and dynamic wrinkle reduction. With a quick, 30-minute appointment in office, these injections feel more like acupuncture than other injections and provide incredible results within 2-3 days to soften and reduce fine lines and wrinkles including frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet. The results last typically 3-5 months and prices vary based on the number of treatment areas and type of product being used. You don’t need a consultation before your appointment, you can schedule as a new patient and get your Botox done the same day!

Microneedling with or without PRP: Microneedling is a simple, effective and virtually painless natural treatment to tighten, improve texture and tone, reduce pore size and improve scarring and skin imperfections. A small electric microneedling “pen” is used to penetrate the epidermis dermis to induce the body to bring in new collagen, elastin and nutrients to the skin. The needling pen causes tiny micro-injuries to the top layers of the skin and the body responds by bringing fibroblast cells, nutrition and growth factors to the area for healing and repair. The results are visible within 2 days and continue to improve over the first 14 days after treatment. The results are long lasting and can be repeated every 6-8 weeks until the desired result is acheived. A regular microneedling session at Áureo is 60-minutes and microneedling with PRP is 90-minutes long.

IPL Photofacial: Intense Pulses Light (IPL) therapy, aka photofacial, is a method of improving the color and texture of your skin without surgery. It can undo some of the visible damage caused by sun exposure -- called photoaging. You may notice it mostly on your face, neck, hands, or chest. IPL may help if you have red, brown, or splotchy skin because of a health condition. Your first session for IPL laser at Áureo is 60-minutes to provide adequate time to do an evaluation and treatment plan, subsequent sessions can be as little as 30-minutes.

Plasma Fibroblast: This is a non-surgical, non-invasive alternative for incredible skin tightening results, especially for sagging skin and fine lines around the eyes and mouth. A special device called a “plasma pen” induces a very superficial burn to the epidermis only, which causes the body to respond by stimulating fibroblast cell activity. Fibroblasts are the cells responsible for secreting all the important healing and tightening compounds of the ECM or extra-cellular matrix and connective tissues in the skin. This procedure requires a 60-minute visit per treatment area (upper and lower eyelids can be completed in this time) but this procedure is not safe for all skin tones, schedule your visit for evaluation and treatment planning today!

Dermal Fillers: This is a compound (usually in gel form) that is “biocompatible” meaning it can be injected and incorporated into the body to help improve facial volume loss, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and augment facial features. We use HA or hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. HA is a compound naturally produced by our own bodies, it attracts and holds water, thereby creating volume and smooth youthful looking skin. When we use an HA filler where the collagen and elastin has broken down, (creating wrinkles, lines and depressions in the face), the effect is a smooth, youthful and plump or voluminous skin and contour. At Áureo, we treat lips often and love helping patients smooth and plump areas needing support in the lower face.

Botanical Peels: A “peel” facial can refresh your skin, improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin pigment changes, and improve the tone and texture of your skin. Peels also improve collagen deposition and skin elasticity. There are many different compounds/options for chemical peels on the market, at Áureo, we prefer to customize your botanical peel based on each patient’s skin sensitivity and skin tone.

Note: While Dr. Lindsay Wilkinson is a licensed naturopath she is not a primary care provider and encourages patients to have a support network of trusted healthcare providers when treatment planning for skin or general health. It is usually recommended for patients to have a primary care physician that they can check in with at least once yearly.
