We are dedicated to providing some of the most advanced skin care technology and pharmaceutical-grade products available.

Your Prescription for Fresh, Youthful-Looking Skin
Our laser, chemical peel, and microdermabrasion treatments work to resurface the skin, removing the dull, damaged outer layer so that a fresh new layer of smoother, more evenly-toned skin can come to the surface. These treatments have the added benefit of stimulating the production of collagen beneath the skin's surface, a key component to helping the skin maintain a youthful look.
To nourish and maintain your skin's healthy, radiant appearance as part of a daily skin care regimen, we carry two of the most respected names in skin care products: Obagi and SkinMedica. Both contain active, effective ingredients to penetrate and rejuvenate the skin beneath the surface to produce a visible improvement in your skin's tone and texture.

The Added Touch Spa offers IPL and Fraxel laser skin treatments to target and improve skin concerns that include:
- Fine lines
- Brown spots and other signs of sun damage
- Rosacea
- Facial spider veins
- Melasma
- Birthmarks, including port wine stains
- Scars
- Sagging skin
The best results are achieved through a series of four treatments spaced one month apart.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a wonderful way to enjoy smooth hair-free skin every day, eliminating the time and maintenance required by razors, waxing, plucking, and depilatories. A series of treatment usually works best to achieve optimum results.
Chemical Peels
Our chemical peels work to to brighten and tighten your skin, gently exfoliating the outer layer to give your skin a fresh, healthy glow. These peels can be performed quickly over the lunch hour, but they provide your skin with a noticeably more youthful appearance. Dr. Patronella's skin care team offers comprehensive peel systems from skin care leaders, SkinMedica and Obagi. To attain the best results, we recommend a series of 3-6 peels.
The SkinMedica Chemical Peel System
SkinMedica offers 3 different peel systems that produce varying levels of exfoliation, ranging from no peeling with the Illuminize Peel®, up to 5-7 days of light flaking with the more deeply penetrating Rejuvenize Peel™. All will leave your skin noticeably brighter, smoother, and firmer.
- Illuminize Peel®

Obagi Blue Peel®Radiance™
Your skin will look instantly radiant after just one treatment of the Obagi Blue Peel® Radiance™ chemical peel. This salicylic acid-based peel is formulated to gently, yet effectively, leave your skin looking brighter, smoother, and tighter. The Obagi Blue Peel Radiance is appropriate for most skin types, and it is especially helpful to improve skin concerns including photodamage and acne.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion uses the massaging action of crystals to exfoliate the dead cells that build up on the skin's surface and dull its appearance. This 30-minute treatment leaves skin looking smoother and fresher, and has the added benefit of stimulating collagen production.
