We all desire healthy and radiant skin. Unfortunately, environmental factors, genetics and stress take
a toll on our skin. Our experienced aestheticians offer a wide range of solutions to treat all
skin types and problems, including acne, acne scarring, sun damage, age spots and fine line
wrinkles. The goal of our skin care clinic is to help our patients re-gain and maintain the
natural health, glow and texture of their skin. Our exfoliating treatments are designed to renew
and rejuvenate the skin cells, with a goal of clear and youthful skin.
Our aestheticians have varied skin treatments and will tailor a program to your personal goals
and needs. Whether your skin is environmentally damaged, discolored, acne prone, hypersensitive,
a special program can be designed to improve your skin appearance. Our patients with conditions
like acne or rosacea (redness across the cheeks and nose) have commented that the treatments
unclogged their pores, improving their skin tone and texture.

Our Aestheticians have gone through extensive training, including
advanced certification from Biomedic® . The goal of the Biomedic® clinical
skin care program is to eliminate a micro-thin top layer of skin, revealing better skin clarity,
tone and texture. The Biomedic® Micropeel and Micropeel Plus yield quicker and more dramatic
results than a facial because they are more aggressive in addressing skin problems. Many of our patients
with acne-prone and discoloration are thrilled that these treatments generally have no downtime
and oftentimes, they no longer need cosmetic foundation to cover their skin flaws.
In addition to facial treatments and microdermabrasion which require no down
time, we offer different types and strengths of chemical peels to treat the skin. Our aestheticians
offer light chemical peels, often referred to as "refresher peels" to
exfoliate and generate a healthy skin tone and glow. The more aggressive chemical peels most
often treat problems such as fine line wrinkles, melasma (e.g. "pregnancy mask," hyper/hypopigmentation),
sun damage, age spots and acne scars. These peels usually have at least several days of down time,
but produce more dramatic results that a light peel. If you are considering any type of deep
peel, Dr. Mills and our aestheticians recommend that you do these in the wintertime, to reduce
potential hyperpigmentation from sun exposure.
Below is a list of the skin care services that we offer at Dr. Mills' office. Additionally,
we sell Biomedic® , La-Roche Posay, Obagi® , Skin Medica, PrevageMD, Jan Marini,
SkinCeuticals, Fenix, and Lip Enhancer by Physicians Complex.
If you have any questions specific to skin care or would like a complementary skin care evaluation,

We couldn't say it any better than our skin care clients:
"I just want to take this opportunity to tell you what a difference
Megan has made in my skin care regime and the look and feel of my skin. I initially
went to the office for a consultation, as my skin was looking and feeling the ramifications
of years of sun damage. I initially thought I would need a more drastic and invasive
procedure to correct the problem. However, after meeting with Megan, she felt that she
could correct the damage with a less invasive skin care regime. I started using Renova
at night with a monthly Micropeel, done at the office. I was not sure what to expect
from the Micropeel.
"However, much to my surprise, it was quite enjoyable and just as comfortable
as Megan said it would be. The Renova, combined with the Micropeel, has been a miracle for
my skin. I now have the "peaches and cream" skin that I have so admired in other women. I highly
recommend anyone who is not happy with the look and feel of their skin to contact Dr.
Mills' office for a skin care consultation. The procedures and product lines are truly amazing!" - Megan Torres
"I am obsessed with my skin! For the last five years, I have battled with
the dreadful skin condition known as acne. Thankfully due to professional treatments and
the nature of growing up I have virtually no acne presently. However, what acne left behind
was the hardest to escape. Scarring, large pores, and uneven pigmentation were just a
few of the side effects from acne. Lucky me got a fair portion of each. I had been in and
out of every day spa imaginable. There was not a facial I had not experienced. Nothing was working
hard enough for the circumstances that my skin was under. It wasn't until clinical skin professionals
guided me on how to fix the problem. I was certain that my condition was unlike any others. I thought
the skin on my face would be a misfortune that would haunt me for the rest of my life. I was
wrong. It is not a fancy day spa that is going to fix problems like mine.
"It is a clinical environment with doctors and aestheticians working hand
in hand to detour skin into perfection without pretty creams and fruity masks. Until glycolic,
microdermabrasion, and strong peels were introduced to me, results were not obtained. Now after
many deep, sensible, and penetrating techniques, my skin looks its best.
I have not found another office closer to my home that performs these services with the
attention, care and results of Dr. Mills. I drive 3 ½ hours each way to make my
skin care appointments. I am so glad that I relied on the clinical procedures at Dr. Mills'
office to accomplish the hopes I had for my skin."
