When they say something is too good to be true, it’s not backed by science—Emsculpt is. Available at Parson Skin Center, if you start your initial series now you’ll be seeing serious results just in time for those holiday parties (and getting a head start on warding off winter weight). How and why our muscles “grow” and get stronger is pretty simple. When muscles are exposed to stressors, whether from lifting weights, manual labor, or...
Microneedling was first performed right after the turn of the last century. A lot has changed and progressed since then, and those innovations keep coming. Morpheus8 is often called the latest iteration of microneedling and it’s available at Parson Skin Center. It’s known for being more effective than any other type of microneedling, stimulating collagen in the skin’s adipose tissue. It was designed by Mode Aesthetics, which is a leader in radiofrequency (RF) energy technology....
Can sun exposure damage injectables like Botox and fillers? Possibly, according to some experts, which is yet another reason to lather on the sunscreen (and invest in SPF 30+ lip balm). Botox and fillers go together like summer and sun hats at Parson Skin Center, and everyone wants to know how to make their injectables last as long as possible. Some studies have shown that UV rays can break down hyaluronic acid (HA) faster than...

It is one of the most popular treatments at Parson Skin Center, especially in the summer months when skin tends to act up.

Is there anything Botox can’t do? Recent headlines show how it might be saving lives soon and helped a footballer save his career—but at Parson Skin Center we’re all about how this favorite neuromodulator can help us achieve our #skingoals. Recently, Kim Kardashian talked about how and why she gets Botox injected into her neck, also known as “TrapTox.” It’s long been known that our necks and hands give away our age, so it’s no...
Morpheus8 is often called “radiofrequency microneedling” because it combines two separate treatments into one powerful procedure. Available at Parson Skin Center, Morepheus8 is the next level microneedling experience with needles that reach a deeper depth than any other microneedling device on the market. With hollow needles, it also delivers RF energy directly where it is needed. There are other RF technologies, but they typically do not go into the skin and are rather externally applied....
There’s no standard set of procedures involved in a mommy makeover, one of the most-requested treatments at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center. However, a mommy makeover is typically comprised of a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and liposuction. The term is a bit of a misnomer, because it’s not just “mommies” who get these (usually) surgical makeovers. Women who have undergone weight fluctuations may also struggle with sagging and excess skin and fat...
When it comes to non-invasive procedures, what’s best—a facial or a chemical peel? It completely depends on what you want to achieve, but for many people a chemical peel is best. We offer a variety of options at Parson Skin Center, but let’s talk about what this treatment entails. There are varying depths of peels, and a trend in recent years leans towards light or superficial peels. These peels are so light that, many times,...

CultureMap just named it one of the top three non-invasive treatments of the year, and with good reason. Emsculpt tones and strengthens your muscles in a series of sessions without...
Are the latest treatments so advanced that the “end of injectables” is upon us?

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten skin and address a myriad of concerns ranging from stretch marks to hyperpigmentation. It’s a...
