Q: What other services do you offer?
A: We offer aesthetic care in the form of neurotoxin and dermal filler injections. Dr. Yassa specializes in the “Painless Pout” procedure, meaning you will have your lip filler placed and it will be mostly pain free.
We also offer microneedling performed with the world-renowned FDA approved microneedling device called the SkinPen. This procedure is only performed by Dr. Yassa and we only use SkinCeuticals products on our back bar.
Q: Why do you offer cosmetic dermatology services?
A: Dr. Yassa is passionate about looking and feeling your best. The world of skincare is overwhelming and exhausting. Dr. Yassa firmly believes you do not need a 12 step skincare routine all of the TikTokers try to sell you. Skincare is really easy - cleanser, moisturizer, retinol/tretinoin, and sunscreen. Those are the basics. Vitamin C and serums are extra, but not necessary. I love the anti-aging product SkinMedicinals because it contains tretinoin and Vitamin C all in one cream in addition to other moisturizing agents like Vitamin E and niacinamide.
